Hi I am trying to get stunnel stunnel 4.36 on ia64-hp-hpux11.23 with OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun 2010 working on this server and so far I have generated a new pem file as per the instructions, but it is the time to make to run, it keeps looking for a certificate for one of the services: bash-3.2# /opt/iexpress/stunnel/bin/stunnel /opt/iexpress/stunnel/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf Reading configuration from file /opt/iexpress/stunnel/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf Snagged 64 random bytes from /opt/iexpress/stunnel/etc/stunnel/stunnel.rnd Wrote 1024 new random bytes to /opt/iexpress/stunnel/etc/stunnel/stunnel.rnd PRNG seeded successfully Line 37: End of section revnet_preprod_sunquest: SSL server needs a certificate my conf file is as follows: bash-3.2# more /opt/iexpress/stunnel/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf # Sample stunnel configuration file #RNDfile=/opt/hpws/apache/stunnel/.stunnel.rnd RNDfile=/opt/iexpress/stunnel/etc/stunnel/stunnel.rnd # Chroot #chroot = /var/chroot/stunnel/ # PID is created inside chroot jail #pid = /opt/hpws/apache/logs/stunnel.pid pid = /opt/iexpress/stunnel/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pid # Workaround for Eudora bug #options = DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS # Client Authentication #verify = 2 # don't forget about c_rehash CApath # it is located inside chroot jail: #CApath = /certs # or simply use CAfile instead: #CAfile = /opt/hpws/apache/conf/certs.pem # Some debugging stuff debug = 7 output = /opt/hpws/apache/logs/stunnel.log # Use in client mode client = no # Run in the background foreground = no # Service-level configuration [revnet_preprod_sunquest] accept = 10.99.10.37:8011 connect = 127.0.0.1:18011 #connect = 18011 [revnet_preprod_funsun] accept = 10.99.10.37:8017 connect = 127.0.0.1:18017 #connect = 18017 any help or tips would be welcome Thanks Jose

SNI and some troubles solving

Hi All, At first I would like to thank Marzena Trojnara for the useful program! Occurrence of support SNI has especially interest. I have decided to use the given possibility, but have detect pair of bugs which has independently successfully solved. To begin with I dump part of my config: [virtual_server] accept = 443 connect = localhost:1081 cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/alexCA.crt key = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/alexCA.key ; need peer verification for default access verify = 2 CAfile = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/alexCA.crt ; use restricted access form some target services [socks5] sni = virtual_server:localhost sni = virtual_server:89.250.5.185 sni = virtual_server:127.0.0.1 sni = virtual_server:server cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/alexCA.crt key = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/alexCA.key verify = 2 CAfile = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/alexCA.crt connect = localhost:1081 ; public service [dreamhub_ru] sni = virtual_server:dreamhub.ru sni = virtual_server:pad.dreamhub.ru cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/dreamhub.cer key = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/dreamhub.pem connect = localhost:80 I want to use stunnel on 443rd port for ssl-socks5 service with peer certificates verification and use public https web-service (https://dreamhub.ru) And so it has appeared that value for "verify" are always used from global section (in my case [virtual_server]), and values of "verify" parameters from virtual services sections aren't used. Problem it has appeared that in the SNI check callback static int servername_cb(SSL *ssl, int *ad, void *arg) ... for(list=section->servername_list_head; list; list=list->next) if(!strcasecmp(servername, list->servername)) { c=SSL_get_ex_data(ssl, cli_index); c->opt=list->opt; SSL_set_SSL_CTX(ssl, c->opt->ctx); s_log(LOG_NOTICE, "SNI: switched to section %s", c->opt->servname); SSL_set_SSL_CTX(ssl, c->opt->ctx); does not copy ctx->verify_mode (SSL*)s->verify_mode=ctx->verify_mode; It has been solved by explicit calling SSL_set_verify *** ctx.c 2011-09-07 14:43:50.000000000 +0400 --- ctx.c_patched 2011-09-10 01:12:48.000000000 +0400 *************** *** 156,161 **** --- 156,162 ---- c=SSL_get_ex_data(ssl, cli_index); c->opt=list->opt; SSL_set_SSL_CTX(ssl, c->opt->ctx); + SSL_set_verify(ssl, SSL_CTX_get_verify_mode(c->opt->ctx), +NULL); s_log(LOG_NOTICE, "SNI: switched to section %s", c->opt->servname); #ifdef USE_LIBWRAP The second moment concerns uses stunnel as client through HTTPS a proxy (protocol=connect). All works perfectly, only it has appeared that value for SNI used from "connect" parameter instead of value of "protocolHost".

SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1 alert internal error
by Andrew Heuneman 07 Sep '11

07 Sep '11

Hello, We recently implemented Stunnel on Centos 5.6 for ssl offloading for our java application. The application has applets to communicate java objects over https to a tomcat server on the server side. We have it setup in front of our Alteon/Radware load balancer. This hardware load balancer is capable of ssl load balancing, but has produced a very specific packet reset that only presents itself in ssl processing. We decided to implement Stunnel in front of this load balancer to fix this problem. Ssl offloading was working great with Stunnel until we ran into Java 7. if I run any version of our applets on java 6 they work. If i run java 7 they do not work. I have tried googling and looking for this error but I have only found some references to SNI... is this correct? Is there anything I can do. Please forgive me if i have omitted any details I will be more than happy to include a packet capture or other details if needed.

Internal error after reload modified server mode section
by Javier 07 Sep '11

07 Sep '11

Hi, I didn't found this question, so I hope isn't duplicate. I'm using the latest stable 4.42 version and I'm running Windows 2000 and I want to ask is this is a normal behavior. What is happening is that, after change the server section in the config file (the rest are all client mode), if it has been any connection to that server (and only if it has been a connection), when I reload the modified conf, it gives...: INTERNAL ERROR: get_alloc_list_ptr: Bad magic str_stats: 380 block(s), 96684 byte(s) This happens after no errors in the load (except for DH being hardcoded), SSL context initialized Configuration successful after open every service (clients and server) and then, after the error, closes every service. Trying to reload the conf, doesn't nothing, just stunnel hangs (is not responding to reloads). The only way to restart all is to close stunnel and reopen. Then, the configuration is accepted without problems and works perfectly. This happens, as I said, after modify the conf file and if it was a connection. The section is related to a local test server, where I modify the IP and/or ports where to accept and where to connect. As general options I have: debug = debug delay = yes And the server section: [mySSL] client = no cert = mytestpem.pem accept = 127.0.0.1:443 connect = 127.0.0.1:80 What I'm doing wrong? Is the normal behavior? Is it a new bug? Regards, Javier.

Compiling Stunnel For Windows
by Albert 05 Sep '11

05 Sep '11

Hi, I want to compile stunnel for windows, to include the XMPP patch (that I managed to apply cleanly to the current stunnel code) that I saw on the mailing list earlier as I need to get it to connect to a SSL only server in client mode. I followed the instructions in the Install.w32 file 1) apt-get install gcc-mingw32 - Worked fine with no issues 2) Download the recent zlib from http://www.zlib.net/ , Update the following definitions in win32/Makefile.gcc file: etc *snip* Worked fine as far as I can tell 3) Download the recent OpenSSL in unpack it to /usr/src/ directory., cd /usr/src && tar zvxf ~/openssl-(version).tar.gz I got OpenSSL 1.0.0d 4) Build OpenSSL with cross_mingw32.sh script. I ran instead ./Configure --cross-compile-prefix=i586-mingw32msvc- mingw shared zlib-dynamic && make it seems to have worked fine 5) Download and unpack stunnel-(version).tar.gz. -got stunnel 4.42 6) Configure stunnel. cd stunnel-(version) && ./configure --with-ssl=/path/to/openssl-(version) This step worked fine 7) Build windows executable. cd src && make stunnel.exe The first few compile steps work fine, but I get stuck on: ...i586-mingw32msvc/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto.dll I did a few hours of troubleshooting and trying to move a few files around but couldn't find crypto.dll anywhere I'm running a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04 in a VM if that makes any difference. Help would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks, Albert

Changing the secure tunnel 'encryption' method ....
by VANDOOREN, Pascal 02 Sep '11

02 Sep '11

Hello Everyone, I have a question, Why use you a certificate and not a hash AES, or other crypting algorithm to make a secure tunnel ? Because i use not a validate cert and i can only generate a cert valid for maximum 1year ... In the config file you can let the choice to use the cert or hash .. It's only a idea Kind regards Pascal -- This e-mail is confidential.
