Hi,

I am trying to connect to a remote SSL enabled server via stunnel. I am using a single file for key and certificate “sunStunnel.pem”, just like the default “stunnel.pem” and I am getting following errors. Please let me know, what they mean and what should be done to resolve these?

Note: I was able to telnet the machine, so server seems to be working.

Thanks.
