[stunnel-users] VerifyPeer = yes not working.

[Thomas Eifert]

I'm running Stunnel 5.56 under Windows 10 v1909 x64.

I have uncovered a case in which VerifyPeer = yes is not working. What's 
happening is that the locally installed
certificate is old and expired, and does not match the current, 
up-to-date server certificate, yet Stunnel is letting
it pass and verifying okay.  I've pasted the certificates, config, and 
log below, and clearly the certificates are different.

Regards,

Thomas

 From my config file:

debug = 7
delay = yes
socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1
socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1
socket = l:SO_LINGER=1:60
socket = r:SO_LINGER=1:60

[ircs.3]
client = yes
sslVersionMin = TLSv1.2
cafile = peer-ircs.3.pem
verifyPeer = yes
accept = 127.0.0.1:8909
connect = halcyon.il.us.dal.net:6697


 From the Stunnel log:
