[stunnel-users] FW: Stunnel with IIS8 on server 2012 64 bit

Fri Jun 24 02:49:17 CEST 2016

Jose,

I have discovered what I did wrong.

I did the original stunnel  installs from the command line and then installed the stunnel service from the command line as well. When I installed the stunnel service it would break the website. So I removed the service (I thought)  then I copied a shortcut to stunnel.exe to the Win start up> program folder. Both sites started working on the servers as long as I was logged in through an RDP session.

I uninstalled everything and reinstalled. Stunnel 5.32 installs a Windows GUI on Server 2012 as well so I went back and used the Windows server 2012 desktop applications to install the windows service and to stop the GUI application. 

Everything is now working as expected.

It appears that I was running two instances of stunnel at the same time and  I didn’t completely remove the original stunnel service.

Thanks for all of your help,

Cheers,

Michael

.Jose,

I appreciate your patience. 

Internet -  Clients : 443 ->  : https://website.company.com/website/

________Firewall___________

Web\Presentation Layer

2 Win 2012 Webservers (443) not currently connected to the production LB, application needs to work before connecting to LB. This configuration is first time on 64 bit OS… Win 2012.

IIS 8 running Jakarta ISAPI Filter\Stunnel to redirect 9001 to 9009:

_________Firewall\App Layer________

Port 9009

Connects to App server running Apache

Application is working as expected as long as I am logged in to the IIS 8 server. I can telnet to the APP layer over 9009 and I can reach these websites externally as expected. Firewalls are good.

Please let me know any other information you need.

Thank you again,

Michael

Michael,

Please take this in constructive way. I am trying to help, but it looks like you need to do some reading and homework. 

Please check http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html <http://catb.org/%7Eesr/faqs/smart-questions.html> 

I suggest you draw a picture of your environment and explain well what you're trying to achieve.  Show your client, your backend server, your stunnel server, include the IPs and ports they're listening to and everything should be easier. Don't forget any firewalls thay may be in the way.

Regards,

Jose.

Hi Jose,

I made the changes you suggested, but I am still getting the same behavior.

My external address is: https://website.company.com/website

I am not adding any ports to the address.

Thanks so much for your help!

Michael,

I guess what you want to do is to be able to connect to your internal Webserver via your Win2012 stunnel proxy using a URL like:

https://yourwin2012dnsname:9001/ <https://yourwin2012dnsname:9009/> 

if that is correct, I suggest to adjust your configuration as follows:

1. Your stunnel mode must be server, not client. So adjust your service stanza as follows:

[CLI9F529A0A]

accept=9001

connect=10.xxx.xxx.xxx:9009

client=no

2. In your current configuration stunnel is listening only in the localhost ipv4 address (127.0.0.1). Therefore, you can only connect when you are logged on the server, you can't connect from a remote client. 

Hope this helps you clarify what's going on.

Regards,

Jose

Jose,

Once logged in to the server I can open a browser on the server and connect through https://localhost/website and I can log in to the site externally as expected.

Here are the log files from IIS and stunnel where stunnel is running as a service on the Windows 2012 server:

When I am not logged in to the server it fails:

Michael,

Is your stunnel running as a service?

Please post sanitized logs and configuration for a better diagnostic ...

Regards

Hi,

I have a website on IIS8 and am using stunnel to forward requests over 9009 inside to my application server.  When I log in to the IIS server and stay logged in everything works as expected. When I log off the IIS 8 web server my site is unreachable with a “service is unavailable”.

Can someone help me?

Sincere thanks,

Michael
