Hi, I would like to have a secure access to a Firebird database server. When I configure verify = 2 on the server I can connect, but I would like to have verify = 3 and this does not work. This is my stunnel.conf :

client = no foreground = yes setuid = stunnel setgid = nogroup pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid debug = 7 output = /var/log/stunnel.log socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 verify = 3 CApath = /etc/stunnel/certs/ CAfile = /etc/stunnel/cacert.pem cert = /etc/stunnel/server.pem [firebird] accept = 3052 connect = localhost:gds_db

output of stunnel -version :

stunnel 4.14 on i686-suse-linux-gnu PTHREAD+POLL+IPv4+LIBWRAP with OpenSSL 0.9.8a 11 Oct 2005

Global options cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!ADH:+RC4:@STRENGTH debug = 5 key = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem pid = /var/stunnel/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes session = 300 seconds verify = none

Service-level options TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds

I'm running OpenSuse 10.1 on the server. This is the log when I can't connect (verify = 3) :

I put the client cert in /etc/stunnel/certs and I ran 'c_rehash /etc/stunnel/certs'. What am I missing ? Thanks for any input. Regards, Koenraad Lelong.
