Laurent,

I'm not sure you are connecting the dots right.

I see an stunnel server configuration. In this case, your stunnel is a front-end to a service you run on host XXXX port 10016. What is that service? Is stunnel running on the same host? Note that If stunnel is not running on the same host with IP XXXX, then you may have some traffic in clear text in your network (from the device running stunnel to the device hosting the service on port 10016).

You need a client to connect to the stunnel server. Unless your client support SSL natively, you also should have an stunnel running on your client device with entries like these:

client=yes [pestip] accept = 10443 connect = Your-Stunnel-server-IP:10443

In this case your client apps connects locally to port 10443, traffic is encrypted and sent to your server listening on port 10443, where it is decripted and send to IP XXXX port 10016.

Regards,

Jose

Dear Jose,

here is the configuration file of my stunnel :

; Sample stunnel configuration file by Michal Trojnara 2002-2006 ; Some options used here may not be adequate for your particular configuration ; Please make sure you understand them (especially the effect of chroot jail)

; Certificate/key is needed in server mode and optional in client mode cert = /opt/freeware/etc/stunnel/ca_nopass.pem foreground = yes syslog = yes ; Protocol version (all, SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1) ;sslVersion = SSLv2 sslVersion = all ;ciphers = DES-CBC-SHA ;ciphers = DES-CBC3-SHA:IDEA-CBC-MD5 ; Some security enhancements for UNIX systems - comment them out on Win32 ;chroot = /usr/local/stunnel/var/lib/stunnel ;chroot = /tmp/ ;setuid = root ;setgid = other ; PID is created inside chroot jail pid = /var/adm/stunnel_server_level1.pid

; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 ;compression = rle

; Workaround for Eudora bug ;options = DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS ;options = Options_SSL ; Authentication stuff verify = 3 ; Don't forget to c_rehash CApath ; CApath is located inside chroot jail CApath = /opt/freeware/etc/stunnel/CA_files/ ; It's often easier to use CAfile ;CAfile = /opt/freeware/etc/stunnel/ca.pem ; Don't forget to c_rehash CRLpath ; CRLpath is located inside chroot jail ;CRLpath = /crls ; Alternatively you can use CRLfile ;CRLfile = /usr/local/stunnel/etc/stunnel/crls.pem

; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting debug = 7

; Use it for client mode client = no ; Service-level configuration

[pesitip] accept = 10443 connect = XXXXXXX:10016

Thanks for your help.

Regards.

Laurent,

Can you post your configuration? For security, You should change the real IPs (but not the ports) before posting.

You can check:

1. Does your stunnel client config has client=yes? 2. Does your stunnel server config has client=no 3. Check your packet flow, that is: your accept/connect settings.
