I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether or not you can use stunnel on a client machine to connect to and communcate with an SSL enabled port on a server machine. (Note...the SSL enabled port on the server machine is NOT done using stunnel).
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.

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???
You shouldn't have any problem with standards-compliant SSL servers or clients.
Whether the particular port you're working with is compliant or not I can't say without seeing it. Hopefully it's just using OpenSSL under the hood.
