Brian,

Thanks for the response...that is good news. I hadn't tried anything yet, I was just wondering if it could be done...so I'm not getting any errors yet. This should make my life easier...I have to interface with another system that implemented it's SSL ports using JAVA (I think I originally stated C++, but I was wrong). I'm assuming I shouldn't have any problem with JAVA implemented SSL either right???

Yes. Stunnel supports all the ciphers and SSL/TLS protocols supported
by OpenSSL, which means it should work with durned near everything out
there.

What's the error message you're getting when you run with debug = 7?
You may also want to sniff with ssldump, as it may provide more
interesting information.
