Common Name checking
by Mark Bolton 15 Jul '09

15 Jul '09

Hi, I believe this has been discussed before on the list but I wanted to get a better understanding and confirm the current situation. Is it still correct that when using verify=2, the peer's hostname is not checked (via a name service lookup) to match the Common Name in the presented certificate? With the main reason being that you cannot necessarily trust the name service? I am asking because we have a closed network in which we do trust our dns servers, and Common Name checking would be advantageous to us given the following scenario: We have is that a single (central) host that connects to multiple 'client' hosts via stunnel. The central host presents a certificate signed by our own CA. Each client has a copy of our CA's certificate and has verify=2. So when the central server connects, the client checks that the certificate presented has really been signed by our own CA. So using this mechanism, only servers (i.e. the central server) with a signed certificate are allowed to connect. All good so far, however the problem is if the signed certificate is copied (stolen) to another server. This 'other' server can connect to all the clients also. With Common Name checking, the clients could as well as checking the signature, check the presenting host has the same hostname as in the certificate. Is there anyway we can use stunnel to help us guard against this 'stolen cert' situation or if not what else could we do? Thanks, Mark

[patch] add new option send_client_info
by Henrik Riomar 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

Hi, The attached patch adds a new option that allows stunnel to pass on some client information to for instance a web service that uses stunnel for it's encryption. The first line of data contains the client info and if the new option is not enabled the patch does nothing. Regards, Henrik Riomar P.S. public domain.

stunnel throttling and statistics
by Laurens Van Houtven 10 Jul '09

10 Jul '09

Hi! I'm using stunnel to secure an AMQP message broker (RabbitMQ, specifically) using pre-shared certificates. This means that my backends never get to see the SSL certificate that the client used to connect -- unfortunately, it's that very backend that's the first who can decide if a message is malicious or not. In order to sort-of fix this problem, I'm using UUIDs so that the keyspace is so absurdly huge that the odds that someone will guess a key are second to none. Still, if someone is misbehaving (trying a large number of bogus keys) it would be nice to know who it is so I could stop wasting CPU time and bandwidth on them. So, I was wondering if anyone has used stunnel (vanilla or modified) to keep statistical data about who connects (which certificates). Additionally, does anyone know of a decent way to throttle per-certificate (or limit the amount of tunnels that can be opened per certificate). If all else fails I could just do normal throttling on a per-IP basis, which should get me roughly the same thing. The reason I want this is because I want to prevent users from even *trying* a large number of such keys (even though it's statistically unlikely that they'll get one) since it still takes me CPU time to process that junk. Thanks in advance Laurens

However, on modern operating systems, fork()ing is not as expensive as it looks like. In most cases, the text segment is shared between the two processes and the pages on data/BSS segments are not copied until changed ('copy-on-write'). I don't know if the usage of OS resources is larger for the multi-threaded or the multi-tasked approach.

stunnel - connection issue with larger number of connections
by Franjo Stipanovic 26 Jun '09

26 Jun '09

Hello, have anyone experienced a issue with stunnel when there's a larger number of concurrent connections (>50)? I've got my application service and stress tester for it. I've placed stunnel in front of application service because I allow clients only to connect to application service using SSL. When stress tester communicates directly with application service with 100 concurrent connections (threads) there's no issue, but when I connect over SSL (thru stunnel) more than 50% of connections fails with error : connection refused :( Seems like there's a limit in windows server for number of threads per process since stunnel does one thread per connection, right? Any idea on how can I test this further? stunnel information: stunnel 4.22 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007 Threading:WIN32 SSL:ENGINE Sockets:SELECT,IPv6 Global options debug = 5 RNDbytes = 64 RNDoverwrite = yes service = stunnel taskbar = yes Service-level options cert = stunnel.pem ciphers = AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+RC4:@STRENGTH key = stunnel.pem session = 300 seconds stack = 65536 bytes sslVersion = SSLv3 for client, all for server TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds verify = none Socket option defaults: Option Accept Local Remote OS default SO_DEBUG -- -- -- 0 SO_DONTROUTE -- -- -- 0 SO_KEEPALIVE -- -- -- 0 SO_LINGER -- -- -- 0:0 SO_OOBINLINE -- -- -- 0 SO_RCVBUF -- -- -- 8192 SO_SNDBUF -- -- -- 8192 SO_RCVLOWAT -- -- -- -- SO_SNDLOWAT -- -- -- -- SO_RCVTIMEO -- -- -- 0:0 SO_SNDTIMEO -- -- -- 0:0 SO_REUSEADDR 1 -- -- 0 IP_TOS -- -- -- 0 IP_TTL -- -- -- 32 TCP_NODELAY -- -- -- 0 Software configuration: Windows Server 2003 R2 - Enterprise x64 Edition Hardware configuration: Intel Core 2 Duo 1 GB RAM Kind regards, fritz

For reducing the number of processes, you might also try to configure stunnel with --disable-libwrap. If you run stunnel from within a CGI, you will be accepting connections from localhost only anyway.

Ah, o.k. you want to use stunnel from inside a CGI. You could have the CGI dynamically write the stunnel configuration file then. Maybe you should specify 'foreground = yes' in order to avoid detaching to the background and to get stunnel's log messages written to the web server log. This depends on the CGI, of course.

Dynamic hosts
by Terry Riegel 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Hello, I have just set up stunnel to allow unsecured client pop3 connections to my secured pop3 server chroot = /stunnel/ pid = /stunnel.pid setuid = www setgid = www client = yes foreground=yes [995] accept = localhost:10110 connect = mail.clearimageonline.com:995 And it works as expected. Is there a way to set it up so it can dynamically connect to any server. Something like... connect = *:995 I was able to start a new instance of stunnel with a separate config file but this seems inefficient as it starts up 6 processes each time. What I would like to do is dynamically add/subtract servers that it can connect to. My goal here is to build a webmail client that can use stunnel to do the secure connections to either POP or IMAP servers. My client software uses unsecured sockets. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Terry Riegel

4.26 works OK, 4.27 will not POP email
by Jeff Salisbury 14 Jun '09

14 Jun '09

Greetings, We have been using Stunnel 4.26 to facilitate the sending and receiving of email with an email client that is not SSL enabled. Version 4.26 has been working great. However, when we upgrade to 4.27, we are unable to POP email (we can send email). We did not change our Stunnel.conf file. Can anyone advise us what we need to do to get 4.27 working? I've included our Stunnel.conf file contents, and the Stunnel log output below.

Hello Carter, thank you very much for your help and nice examples. I will try it in my local network. Have a good day. Mia ---- Pôvodná správa ---- Od koho: Carter Browne <cbrowne(a)cbcs-usa.com> Komu: aaa aaa <miamia(a)inMail.sk> Dátum: 8. 6. 2009 17:52:00 Predmet: Re: [stunnel-users] 1 server and more desktops Mia, I work in both Windows and Linux, so I use a Windows approach - copying files where in Linux a link would be more appropriate. Assume server.pem is the server full server certificate including the private key and client1.pem is a full client certificate including the key. The first step is to make a copy of the server certificate and delete the lines starting with -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY------ down through the blank line after -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- Initial I call this server-pub.pem The command: openssl x509 -in server-pub.pem -subject_hash -noout will print out the hash for the server key (as 8 hexadecimal digits), for example abcef012 Then I rename server-pub.pem to abcdef012.0 I repeat the same process for each client key, so that client1.pem in this example would have a public key named 987654fe.0 (assuming that the hash of 987654fe). In the client1 configuration: cert = client1.pem key = client1.pem verify = 3 cafile = abcdef012.0 In the server configuration cert = server1.pem key = server1.pem verify = 3 capath = capath In the capath directory is 987654fe.0 ... Plus the hashes of the other clients. In Windows, the capath is under the stunnel directory. The client certificates can also be concatenated in a single file. If you use a directory, it is not necessary to restart stunnel if you add a new client. If you use a concatenated file, you do have to restart stunnel if you add a client. There are some notes in the documentation about the structure of a concatenated file. I hope this helps.

Stunnel client hangs in background mode when smartcard is used
by John Abloyer 08 Jun '09

08 Jun '09

Hi! I have a problem when running ssh over stunnel in background mode ('foreground' out-commented in config file). In foreground mode, everything works fine. I'm using a modified OpenSSL, adding an engine that is dedicated to communicate with a smartcard reader. The scenario is: - Starting stunnel on server, extract from config file: [ssh] accept = myserver:122 connect = 22 - Starting stunnel on client, extract from config file: engine = myengine engineNum = 1 client = yes [ssh] accept = 22 connect = myserver:122 I come to here, than it hangs: ... 2009.06.08 15:08:22 LOG7[472:3054680976]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 read server certificate A 2009.06.08 15:08:22 LOG7[472:3054680976]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 read server certificate request A 2009.06.08 15:08:22 LOG7[472:3054680976]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 read server done A 2009.06.08 15:08:22 LOG7[472:3054680976]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 write client certificate A 2009.06.08 15:08:22 LOG7[472:3054680976]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 write client key exchange A - - - - - - - But when I run in foreground mode, it all works fine and stunnel continues and I get the ssh login prompt. I'm running RHEL 5.2, OpenSSL 0.9.8*, stunnel 4.27 Any help would be appreciated Rgds JA

hello Christophe, thanks for your answer. Sorry for any misunderstanding. Well, I just wanted to ask if it is able to set stunnel for working with more certificates? So it means that I don't want to have secured tunnel between remote and local computer only but also between one remote and many local computers with more certificates? Every local computer should have own certificate.

stunnel through httpd
by Chatty 07 Jun '09

07 Jun '09

Hello, I've got the crazy idea to run stunnel behind an existing, SSL-enabled, basic-auth-using httpd. Configuration would be as follows: 1. put some stunnel.cgi into /usr/www/cgi-bin which would call stunnel binary 2. start stunnel client with -r https://login:passwd@myhost.org/cgi-bin/stunnel.cgi Advantages (assumed you're behind a proxy which allows only 443 as outgoing port): a. You can still access other WebIFs on that server. b. You don't have to administer another web server including authentication, certificates and so on. May be stunnel is not the best tool for the above scenario (I reckon stunnel is currently unable to fulfill this)... I hope someone can shed some light on this. Cheers, Chatty.

1 server and more desktops
by aaa aaa 07 Jun '09

Hello, I have one server and 3 desktops (PC1,PC2,PC3). I need to do this: every pc should communicate with server with his own certificate and server should sends anwser back to the computer encrypted for this one pc only.

Hello guys, I would like to secure my OpenBSD/FreeBSD for communication over stunnel only. How should I configure BSD and stunnel when I want allow comminucation with one server only (data from pc encrypted with server's public certificate and allow data from this server to my pc encrypted with pc's public key) and drop all other communication (all other ports and certificates)? thank you, mia ---------- Sutaz s InPage o ceny za viac ako 2000 Euro.

It seems horrendous amount of time for transferring data. It might be my lack of understanding on the SSL process, so any information on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Steven

Re: [stunnel-users] Stunnel for secure email connections

Thanks again, Guy, I appreciate your efforts there. So I don't have to do anything regarding certificates or digital signatures, or anything along those lines? I just install OpenSSL and Stunnel, configure stunnel.conf, tweak Thunderbird's accounts settings and Avast's ports, and go with it? Guy wrote: > So what you have to do to proxy the connections through Avast! I don't > know, you'll need to show. > Do you *really* need to scan your outbound connections? > This whole thing is more of a challenge / experiment than anything else. Certainly, scanning my SMTP connection(s) is far from important. Off this specific Stunnel issue but related:- For the last day or so, I've gone back to my 'old' setup of TB + Popfile + Avast, and I've noticed that emails from my 'secure' POP connections are actually being scanned by Avast. They probably have been for some time and I didn't notice, but only recently have I turned on the 'adding of notes' in Avast's email scanner which adds an email footer along the lines of 'Avast found this message to be clean'. I assume this scanning of 'secure' emails is a convenient byproduct somehow or other of routing the secure connections through Popfile. For reference, Popfile is listening on its default port of 110, and the Avast email scanner currently also only has port 110 in its POP redirected ports settings. Thunderbird has the host for those accounts as 127.0.0.1, also on port 110, and the username is in the form of: pop_server:username:ssl which Popfile requires. The :ssl is required by Popfile to handle secure connections. I do notice that non-secure connections' emails end up with the scanning footer being added twice, suggesting Avast is double scanning them. Secure connections' emails only get the one footer added. So all told, all incoming email seems to be scanned by Avast, albeit some of it twice. > Your stunnel configuration file has 2 [popmail] service names, that > will be confusing. And why do you have a [popmail] and [pop3_sky] > connecting to the same MTA? > That is because I don't know what I'm doing :) I originally built stunnel.conf without catering for Popfile, then I wanted to introduce Popfile into the equation, so I found the below advice page regarding Popfile and Stunnel :- http://getpopfile.org/docs/howtos:stunnel It appears I wrongly guessed how to interpret that advice on what to add to stunnel.conf I have since had some clarification on this from a query I raised on this at the Popfile forums:- http://getpopfile.org/discussion/1/188 > Did you enable debugging within stunnel? > > Global options: > > debug = debug > output = stunnel.log > Yes, I did try that, and dabbled a little with the packet sniffers. However I didn't find it any easier to pinpoint what was actually going on regarding the prescence or otherwise of a secure connection. ie I don't know what I'm looking at/for. At the moment, my only method of 'testing' what is 'probably' going on, is to open or close parts of my local chain, and thereby build an apparent picture of what is happening. My original doubts of 'am I actually achieving a secure connection using Stunnel and my local chain' are not grounded in anything; I am/was just wanting to somehow avoid just assuming I had set everything up properly.

Hello Guy and thanks for your reply. Guy wrote: > So you have... > Client (MUA) <=> Avast and/or Popfile <=> Stunnel <=> Server (MTA) > > > Yes, that's right. I've looked at the mail headers more, and tried some of the packet sniffing/log methods, but I'm not really having any more success in understanding / pinpointing a secure connection. I think I'm not going to be able to grasp the issues here, so maybe it is simpler if I could simply state what I have done, to check that it should be correct; I installed both OpenSLL and Stunnel. I haven't changed anything from the OpenSLL install. In stunnel.conf, I currently have the file shown at the bottom of this email. I have changed settings in Thunderbird's mail accounts (hosts and ports) and in Avast Anti-Virus email scanner. (its redirected ports settings) Adding Popfile (a local mail 'tagging' proxy) back into the equation has required some further tweaks to Thunderbird's ports and server usernames syntax. As I said earlier, all seems to be working, in that my 'chain' appears to be having an effect. However should I be considering anything else to make this process meaningful, such as certificates or security issues? My only motive for using Stunnel and OpenSSL is to allow Avast email scanner to scan _all_ emails, including those it normally cannot scan due to their servers requiring me to use a secure connection. So, if I am doing this 'new' process wrongly or opening up security issues due to not understanding it, I would be better off reverting to how it was previously, seeing as the mail servers I use state they do virus scanning anyway. Thanks again, Lee UK my current stunnel.conf :- client=yes service=popmail [popmail] accept = 127.0.0.1:210 connect = pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk:995 [popmail] accept = 127.0.0.1:310 connect = pop.tools.sky.com:995 [pop3_sky] accept = 127.0.0.1:1109 connect = pop.tools.sky.com:995 [pop3_yahoo] accept = 127.0.0.1:1108 connect = pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk:995 [smtp_sky] accept=127.0.0.1:259 connect=smtp.tools.sky.com:465 [smtp_yahoo] accept=127.0.0.1:258 connect=smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk:465 [imap_sky] accept=127.0.0.1:1439 connect=imap.tools.sky.com:993 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- avast!

Stunnel for secure email connections; email headers ?
by Lee 23 May '09

23 May '09

Hello, I have been dabbling with Stunnel in order to do the following: Connect with remote POP3, IMAP and SMTP servers using a secure connection; Path those connections on my Windows XP desktop pc through Avast Anti-Virus and/or Popfile to Mozilla Thunderbird. After much fiddling and grinding of my rusty mental muscles, I appear to have everything working and pathing properly. However I am not confident and some amount of luck has been involved in settling on the apparently correct pathing, ports settings and stunnel.conf So, my question here is; Can I look for anything in the email headers to verify that I am actually achieving a locally made secure connection using Stunnel? Or, if necessary, can I force something into the headers to show this? As I imply, results/clues suggest all is in place correctly, but part of me doesn't really believe I have actually done it. :) Thanks very much, Lee UK --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.
