What legal issues come up if I use GPL-incompatible libraries with GPL software?
by Michal Trojnara 17 Jan '11

17 Jan '11

Dear Users, I just noticed some people declare GPL license on stunnel patches. Since stunnel uses GPL license *with OpenSSL exception* (OpenSSL license is not GPL-compatible), it cannot be distributed if it is linked against any GPL code (patches, libraries) without this exception. It is still legal to distribute stunnel with patches that use GPL license with OpenSSL exception. Such patches constitute forks of stunnel and will *never* be accepted to my source tree. Third party patches rarely meet my quality criteria, but I occasionally accept patches released as public domain or having their copyright ownership transferred to me. Also see: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLIncompatibleLibs https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Fork_%28software_development… Mike

Re: [stunnel-users] Multi Tunnel Support in STunnel
by Narendra Prasad Madanapalli 16 Jan '11

16 Jan '11

I'm sorry, if my previous mail explained the problem differently. Stunnel does load balancing when multiple connect statements are specified in a section as in the below mail. The scenario is something like http://mirt.net/pipermail/stunnel-users/2006-May/001139.html and explained below N servers each running a service of the same service-program (e.g: ip1:2345, ip2:2345, ... ipN:2345) A management server running on a different server (ipM:6789) is required to connect to all or a subset of the above servers through stunnel based on the user request. I couldn't find this feature supported by stunnel in the man page. I would appreciate if you provide any information on this. Thanks, Narendra. > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Narendra Prasad Madanapalli wrote: > > connect = ip1:5678,ip2:5678,ip3:5678,...ipn:5678 > > > > Anyone can please let me know the steps to configure the stunnel if > > the support is already in place or provide your thoughts on the new > > support? > > > Use multiple "connect" options within a single section: > connect = ip1:5678 > connect = ip2:5678 > connect = ip3:5678 > ... > connect = ipn:5678 > > Reading The Fine Manual would answer your question.

Stunnel forwarding IP
by oscaruser＠programmer.net 15 Jan '11

15 Jan '11

Folks, For my server daemon process, I am accepting incoming requests only from pre-seeded IP addrs. Using Stunnel, I am finding connecting IPs are '127.0.0.1' or localhost. Is there any configuration or solution to represent incoming IPs for the given file descriptor belonging to their originating IP addrs? Thank you.

stunnel with FIPS and SIGHUP
by Eric Lambert 15 Jan '11

15 Jan '11

Hello, I am having difficulting when running stunnel in FIPS mode and using a SIGHUP to get stunnel to re-read it's configuration file (for instance if I've changed a port # or IP address for one of the connections). This causes stunnel to call the SSL routine FIPS_mode_set() a second time after receiving the SIGHUP, which in turn attempts to reinitialize SSL. Unfortunately, OpenSSL does not support calling FIPS_mode_set(1) more than once. The initialization of SSL becomes incomplete as a result of the 2nd call and subsequent attempts to use stunnel to establish encrypted connections fail. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can make this work (besides killing and restarting stunnel)? If not, I have a proposed fix (and there are multiple ways that this could be addressed). Anyway, my suggestion is to add the following two lines to the ssl_configure() function (found in the file "ssl.c"), right before the current FIPS_mode_set() routine is called: FIPS_mode_set(0); RAND_set_rand_method(NULL); The function currently looks like: int ssl_configure(void) { /* configure global SSL settings */ #ifdef USE_FIPS if(!FIPS_mode_set(global_options.option.fips)) { ERR_load_crypto_strings(); sslerror("FIPS_mode_set"); return 0; } s_log(LOG_NOTICE, "FIPS mode %s", global_options.option.fips ? "enabled" : "disabled"); #endif /* USE_FIPS */ : : } With the suggested fix, it would look as follows: int ssl_configure(void) { /* configure global SSL settings */ #ifdef USE_FIPS FIPS_mode_set(0); RAND_set_rand_method(NULL); if(!FIPS_mode_set(global_options.option.fips)) { ERR_load_crypto_strings(); sslerror("FIPS_mode_set"); return 0; } s_log(LOG_NOTICE, "FIPS mode %s", global_options.option.fips ? "enabled" : "disabled"); #endif /* USE_FIPS */ : : } Does the above seem reasonable. Could this change, or some other modification which would support using SIGHUP with FIPS, be considered for a future stunnel update? Thanks for your help.

Multi Tunnel Support in STunnel
by Narendra Prasad Madanapalli 15 Jan '11

15 Jan '11

Hi, Current stunnel implementation is based on peer-to-peer communication and it cannot be used in the environment where a management server wants to talk to multi-site server (i.e. an instance of server running in different sites). Multi Tunnel support for Stunnel enables a Management Server to communicate with Multisite Server. But it requires extending Stunnel with a new protocol whereby Management Server & Client Stunnel Process communicates. 1. The new stunnel conf for multi tunnel (keeping backward compatibility) look like [singleTunnelServiceName] accept = aport connect = ip:cport [serviceName] multitunnel = yes accept = 1234 connect = ip1:5678,ip2:5678,ip3:5678,...ipn:5678 Anyone can please let me know the steps to configure the stunnel if the support is already in place or provide your thoughts on the new support? Thanks, Narendra.

Win32 FIPS Question
by pk＠cliffhanger.com 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

Hello, Greetings. I am new to STUNNEL and working on a proof of concept to compile the latest FIPS Compliant 1.2.2 OpenSSL with STUNNEL 4.34. in Windows 32 Bit environment. In the install.FIPS file it is mentioned that Win32 is not supported with FIPS. Is it still the case or it is fixed now? Have anybody done this? I greatly appreciate your time and help. Thank you.
