[stunnel-users] Stunnel Connectivity Issue

Thu Aug 3 18:46:21 CEST 2017

Dheeraj,
Are you sure your client application is connecting to 127.0.0.1 port 9260?... 
The fact that no events are logged when you run your application makes me thin it is not doing it. You may want to double check. You can use a utility such as tcpview to verify or something more powerful like Wireshark.

Hi Liz, The logs are being generating only when I am doing telnet to myself like telnet 127.0.0.1 9260. No logs are coming while running the application. Could you please remote my machine so that you can get complete understanding about the setup. Regards, Dheeraj Gautam From: Liz Turi [mailto:lturi at maehc.org]

Subject: Re: [stunnel-users] Stunnel Connectivity Issue Dheeraj,stunnel will keep the connection open for as long as your applications keeps it open.  When you exit telnet, it closes the connection.  I use stunnel mostly for RDP, VNC and telnet and as long the application is active, the port is open.  You need to have your application open the local port you want to route via stunnel (in your example 127.0.0.1:9233).  As long as your application keeps the connection open (ignoring such issues as communications failures), stunnel will maintain the application.  Telnet is a great tool for determining connectivity, but your application is going to have to handle the connection going forward.Carter Browne On 6/13/2017 12:01 PM, Dheeraj Gautam wrote:
Hi Liz, Thanks for your reply. Actually we need to run a service which will work only once stunnel connection establish and the service will work till the time connection connected. But at the moment I don’t have idea like how the stunnel will remain connected. Could you please suggest me to fix this so that stunnel connection remain connected and I can run the application. Waiting for your valuable response. Regards, Dheeraj Gautam From: Liz Turi [mailto:lturi at maehc.org]

What I noticed in testing the connection is that once the command is completed, the connection is closed. However, when I test from my application, its only closed once all transactions in that session are completed, and will show how much data was passed on (following from my logs at the end of a non-telnet test session. 2017.06.13 10:16:08 LOG6[1]: Negotiated TLSv1.2 ciphersuite AES256-GCM-SHA384 (256-bit encryption)2017.06.13 10:16:18 LOG6[1]: Read socket closed (readsocket)2017.06.13 10:16:18 LOG6[1]: SSL_shutdown successfully sent close_notify alert2017.06.13 10:16:18 LOG6[1]: TLS closed (SSL_read)2017.06.13 10:16:18 LOG5[1]: Connection closed: 2791 byte(s) sent to TLS, 1641 byte(s) sent to socket Liz TuriSr. ConsultantMassachusetts eHealth Collaborative860 Winter Street, Waltham, MA 02451(m) 339-222-6614 (o) 781-907-7204 (f) 781-207-8589www.maehc.org From: stunnel-users [mailto:stunnel-users-bounces at stunnel.org] On Behalf Of Dheeraj Gautam

Could you please let us know what parameters we are missing here due to which connection is not establishing with remote server.

Although, stunnel logs indicating that configuration successful, but in logs no where is mentioned about the connection is it connected or not, 

Hello Dheeraj,

You should set the verifyChain option in order to verify the certificate stored in the file specified with CAfile:
verifyChain = yes

Then you can test your connection:
telnet 127.0.0.1 9233
the stunnel logs will show information about the connection attempt.

Małgorzata
