Missing Something Basic on Config
by Steve 29 Dec '07

29 Dec '07

Using stunnel for NNTPS. Stunnel starts without any apparent problems (log looks normal), but simply doesn't intercept packets from my news reader. There is no activity in the log and sniffing the packets shows everything happening on 119. My understanding of the concept is that there are no configuration changes needed in the newsreader; IOW, I leave it pointing to the unsecured NNTP server with the port set to 119. I fear I'm missing something very obvious. BTW, I've confirmed the ability to use NNTPS with this particular server by using Outlook Express, which is compatible with NNTPS. Version: 4.20; I used the Windows binary. Running XP. Config: ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 ; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting debug = 7 output = stunnel.log ; Use it for client mode client = yes ; Service-level configuration [nntps] accept = 192.168.1.101:119 connect = secure.news.easynews.com:563 Log: 2007.12.28 22:24:46 LOG5[6640:6644]: stunnel 4.20 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8d 28 Sep 2006 2007.12.28 22:24:46 LOG5[6640:6644]: Threading:WIN32 SSL:ENGINE Sockets:SELECT,IPv6 2007.12.28 22:24:46 LOG5[6640:5936]: No limit detected for the number of clients 2007.12.28 22:24:46 LOG7[6640:5936]: FD 196 in non-blocking mode 2007.12.28 22:24:46 LOG7[6640:5936]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket 2007.12.28 22:24:46 LOG7[6640:5936]: nntps bound to 192.168.1.101:119

Hello all I use stunnel on a server with a stunnel.pem file generated with openSSL,( this file is not certified with verisign or others...) Each time i launch outlook express on a client a have a warning saying that the server is using a certificate who can't be verified.... I have to close this warning and after all is ok...

1 tunnel client to few different servers
by Shalvi Ziv 26 Dec '07

26 Dec '07

All, As my PROXY server gets requests from end-users to be proxied to several different content providers (SMS servers), I was wondering how can encrypt the traffic between the PROXY to the SMS using stunnel, but still handle the differentiation to the various content providers. Meaning, my PROXY listens on port 9090 for all incoming SMS requests and each request should be addressed to different SMS server (i.e. different content provider) based on the number the message was sent to. See following example: Client = yes [SMPP] accept = 9090 (should always be this port) connect = <SMS IP>:442 Now, how can I do it with stunnel configuration (having the <SMS IP> flexibly assigned according to other parameters in the packet)? Thanks! zivs

Using stunnel as a non-root user
by T. S. Ferreira 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

I have a small web application running as a regular (non root) user on my port 6666. I would like to make it accessible through SSL on port 7777. In order to test it I used (as the same non root user) the following command: stunnel -D 7 -p mypemfile.pem -d 7777 -r localhost:6666 but it does not work. When I check with "ps aux | fgrep stunnel", no such program is running. However if I run it as root, it does work. I did not find in the documentation any restriction with this regard. Since my final application will run on a machine to whose root I do not have access, I would like to find a way to solve this problem. Any hint will be appreciated. -- tsf ----------------------------------------- My system data are: (1) Linux/Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic, (2) Output of "/usr/bin/stunnel4 -version": stunnel 4.20 on i486-pc-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007 Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Auth:LIBWRAP Global options debug = 5 pid = /var/run/stunnel4.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes Service-level options cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!ADH:+RC4:@STRENGTH key = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem session = 300 seconds sslVersion = SSLv3 for client, all for server TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds verify = none (3) Output due to '-D 7' option: 2007.12.20 10:00:45 LOG7[14820:3082589872]: Snagged 64 random bytes from /home/tomasz/.rnd 2007.12.20 10:00:45 LOG7[14820:3082589872]: Wrote 1024 new random bytes to /home/tomasz/.rnd 2007.12.20 10:00:45 LOG7[14820:3082589872]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2007.12.20 10:00:45 LOG7[14820:3082589872]: PRNG seeded successfully 2007.12.20 10:00:45 LOG7[14820:3082589872]: Certificate: jai_ssl.pem 2007.12.20 10:00:45 LOG7[14820:3082589872]: Certificate loaded 2007.12.20 10:00:45 LOG7[14820:3082589872]: Key file: jai_ssl.pem 2007.12.20 10:00:45 LOG7[14820:3082589872]: Private key loaded 2007.12.20 10:00:45 LOG7[14820:3082589872]: SSL context initialized for service stunnel3 (4)"/usr/bin/stunnel" is a Perl script whose comments say " ... wrapper to use stunnel 3.x syntax in stunnel >=4.05 ..."; it is version 2.00 (2005.04.2).

Stunnel never really connects
by Pat Riehecky 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

I am trying to send email over stunnel from a client that doesn't support encryption to a server that does. The local socket opens just fine, but it never really seems to connect to the remote server. A tcpdump shows only three packets exchanged between the two systems (Syn, Syn/Ack, Ack). The behavior is the same regardless of which tls enabled port I point stunnel at. I am able to connect to these ports via telnet and send email so I know the connection can be negotiated. I am using the 4.21 build for windows (XP SP2) found on the main webpage. Help! --- stunnel.conf --- ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 ; Workaround for Eudora bug ; my email client isn't eudora, but given how ; it doesn't support standards like encrypted ; transport..... options = DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS ; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting debug = 7 ; Use it for client mode client = yes [smtp] accept = 127.0.0.1:25 connect = mailserver.mydomain.tld:587 ;connect = mailserver.mydomain.tld:465 ;connect = mailserver.mydomain.tld:25 protocol = smtp

'PIN' engine control command
by Ludolf Holzheid 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

Dear list, I'm trying to use stunnel on Windows with an USB token (`CryptoMate' from ACS). However, I can't manage to make stunnel ask for the token PIN: o Loading the private key works if I specify the PIN in the configuration file (`engineCtrl = PIN:...'). o If there is no `PIN' engine control option in the configuration file, loading the private key fails. The log message are: error stack: 26096080 : error:26096080:engine routines:ENGINE_load_private_key:failed loading private key error stack: 800050A0 : error:800050A0:Vendor defined:PKCS11_login:PIN incorrect Do I have to add a special engine control option to the configuration file in order to get asked for the PIN or is it intended to `just work'?

rtmps with stunnel on linux
by David Schulberg 14 Dec '07

Hi, Cannot get rtmps working with Firefox (IceWeasel) on Linux. I have rtmps working fine with Firefox and IE on Windows XP. The error I see in stunnel (see below) when I try rtmps through a Linux browser is "peer suddenly disconnected". Also curious that there are 2 attempts made. 2007.12.13 16:31:41 LOG7[2624:1192]: https accepted FD=212 from 124.190.241.7:59728 2007.12.13 16:31:41 LOG7[2624:1192]: Creating a new thread 2007.12.13 16:31:41 LOG7[2624:1192]: New thread created 2007.12.13 16:31:41 LOG7[2624:2576]: https started 2007.12.13 16:31:41 LOG7[2624:2576]: FD 212 in non-blocking mode 2007.12.13 16:31:41 LOG7[2624:2576]: TCP_NODELAY option set on local socket 2007.12.13 16:31:41 LOG5[2624:2576]: https accepted connection from 124.190.241.7:59728 2007.12.13 16:31:41 LOG7[2624:2576]: SSL state (accept): before/accept initialization 2007.12.13 16:31:41 LOG3[2624:2576]: SSL_accept: Peer suddenly disconnected 2007.12.13 16:31:41 LOG5[2624:2576]: Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket 2007.12.13 16:31:41 LOG7[2624:2576]: https finished (0 left) 2007.12.13 16:31:41 LOG7[2624:1192]: https accepted FD=236 from 124.190.241.7:59729 2007.12.13 16:31:41 LOG7[2624:1192]: Creating a new thread 2007.12.13 16:31:41 LOG7[2624:1192]: New thread created 2007.12.13 16:31:41 LOG7[2624:2572]: https started 2007.12.13 16:31:41 LOG7[2624:2572]: FD 236 in non-blocking mode 2007.12.13 16:31:41 LOG7[2624:2572]: TCP_NODELAY option set on local socket 2007.12.13 16:31:41 LOG5[2624:2572]: https accepted connection from 124.190.241.7:59729 2007.12.13 16:31:41 LOG7[2624:2572]: SSL state (accept): before/accept initialization 2007.12.13 16:31:41 LOG3[2624:2572]: SSL_accept: Peer suddenly disconnected 2007.12.13 16:31:41 LOG5[2624:2572]: Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket 2007.12.13 16:31:41 LOG7[2624:2572]: https finished (0 left) Regards, David Schulberg
