Requests to cloud server that requires host header
by Lorne Kates 13 Nov '24

13 Nov '24

(related to Akamai message from before-- but I have better troubleshooting information). I'm tying to route traffic through stunnel to a "cloud" based-endpoint. That endpoint has a static server name-- test.authorize.net. (This is the dev sandbox for auth.net) But if you do an nslookup on test.authorize.net, you'll get back a different servername and IP, because it's so wonderfully "cloud". Stunnel apparently tries to connect to the nslookup value. The server rejects the request because it can't route it back to test.authorize.net. I've tried adding "delay = yes" and "sni = test.authorize.net", but neither work. To see this in action, a simple setup with any accept, then connect to test.authorize.net:443 in client = yes mode. This is what a valid response looks like (13 -- give me the darn merchant ID in a POST): https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll This is what you'll get if you try to use stunnel (400 invalid url) : https://23.195.204.150/gateway/transact.dll So how can I get stunnel to send the proper Request Header (host: test.authorize.net) make sure it's using http/1.1, etc?

Stunnel & Gmail security
by BOXI31 TEST 16 Oct '20

16 Oct '20

Hi all, To make "Stunnel 5.31" work with Gmail, I have to go in security settings of Gmail and "allow less secure apps to access my account". Is it mandatory ? Is it possible to set Stunnel to access Gmail without lowering it security level ? How ? I checked in log file TLS v1.2 is used by Stunnel but Gmail still consider it as a "less secure app." ! Regards, Steve

Bug: Modifying configure.ac results in error
by Reschke, Sven (VWIF G-TS/P) 22 Sep '17

22 Sep '17

Hallo, I've encounter a problem when editing the configure.ac. I've upgraded to Stunnel 5.42, the problem wasn't existent with Stunnel 5.41. The normal operation is that "./configure" and "make" will run without an error. So far, so good. Now, if I edit the configure.ac, running again "./configure" and "make", "make" will report: CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh <path_to_stunnel_sources>/stunnel-5.42 /auto/missing aclocal-1.14 -I m4 cd . && /bin/sh <path_to_stunnel_sources>/stunnel-5.42 /auto/missing automake-1.14 --gnu CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh <path_to_stunnel_sources>/stunnel-5.42 /auto/missing autoconf configure.ac:4: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_NOTICE If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. configure.ac:23: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE make: *** [configure] Error 1 Here it doesn't matter what I change in configure.ac. Even the slightest modification results in the error. After some investigation, running "make" with "-d" showed that it will call auto/missing, because of the newer version of configure.ac. Comparing aclocal.m4 before and after calling "make" shows, that mainly the lines added between the version 5.41 and 5.42 are missing now (lines #23 - #741). As I'm not so familiar with the whole compile process, I found a simple hack, which solves the problem for the moment: Adding these missing lines to a new file named m4/acinclude.m4. After that, compiling, installing and running Stunnel works fine. Can someone verify? If you have questions, I'll try my best to answer them :) Best Regards, Sven Reschke Embedded System SW Developer G-TS/P

I’ve tried everything I can think of; I’ve read all the blogs and pages related to connecting from ec2 to SES via stunnel and I just can’t get it to work.
