Passphrase validation
Hi, As I understand it, Stunnel does not currently support the validation of certificate passphrases. For example, to make a connection from the client to the server, no passphrase is requested when a certificate is selected. Are there any plans for this feature to be added to Stunnel?

Sorry, what I am referring to here is actually the passphrase for the private keys, and how Stunnel does not support encrypted private keys. PP --- Peter Pentes <colemanboy@yahoo.com> wrote:

This would be useless. How do you expect the passphrase for the encrypted private key to be obtained at stunnel startup? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFCuVWwFw6SP/bBpCARAkH2AJ44yyFUU2UMIqBupyCqPyGSg6eeJACgwKXS ZK8BT8QM7XXz14U9BswZ1M0= =FDLb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Perhaps a passphrase prompt/dialog? Of course this would be a problem if you plan on starting Stunnel automatically... PP --- Vasil Dimov <vd@datamax.bg> wrote:

Sorry to interrupt only this late in the thread *but* what gave you the impression stunnel does not support encrypted private keys? AFAIK it works on both the unix platform (has done for many years) and since a couple of years it also supports it on the Windows platform (I should know as I have sponsored the latter into stunnel *and* we've been using it for many years now. Or perhaps I'm not understanding your question/problem correctly? Jan

Oh, % stunnel stunnel.conf 2005.06.27 16:50:37 LOG5[97316:134639616]: stunnel 4.10 on i386-unknown-freebsd5.4 PTHREAD+POLL+IPv4+LIBWRAP with OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004 Enter PEM pass phrase: It seems that stunnel supports encrypted private keys ;-) This really makes me laugh when I look at the size of this thread :-)
