FW: how to start ??

Hello, First time I am using stunnel. 1. The issue I had is with Altiris and Exchange. All our Exchange Servers are SSL now and Altiris is not-SSL. Altiris is reading an exchange mailbox and gives back an error : "Error receiving data from socket". So the infrastructure is composed of two servers one Altiris Server not-SSL which is attempting to communicate to an Exchange Server with SSL. The Altiris Server is trying to read the email in one mailbox hosted by an Exchange SSL Server 2. Stunnel 4.25 x86-pc-mingw32-gnu with openssl 0.9.8h 28 May 2008 3.

Using externally signed certificate with stunnel 4
by Tim Skirvin 07 Jul '08

07 Jul '08

I've got a comodo signed SSL certificate that I'm trying to use with stunnel4 to allow secure NNTP connections from a wide variety of clients. The certificate at least partially works; if I leave 'verify' off in the stunnel.conf file, then the service runs and users can connect, albeit while still having to verify the cert. But if I turn 'verify' on, then it doesn't work on *either* side. I've tried playing with CAfile and CApath without much luck. I'll attach my configuration files, the relevant pems, and some debugging information; is there something else I'm missing? I've already contacted comodo, and after several rounds of conversation they suggest I contact the list. Errors from the client side (note that I'm using a debug port here): + openssl s_client -connect news:565 -verify -debug verify depth is 0 CONNECTED(00000003) depth=2 /C=US/O=Entrust.net/OU=www.entrust.net/CPS incorp. by ref.

Windows setup
by Koenraad Lelong 04 Jul '08

04 Jul '08

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to run a silent setup of the Windows-setup of stunnel. I'm including it in my own setup of my own application so I would like to avoid the interaction of the stunnel-setup. Second question is if it is bad to "install" stunnel more than once on a computer. Until now I had a setup for new installations and an update for updates of my application. This seems not to work because some users use the setup to update an existing installation and with this they run the install of stunnel for the second time. If it is bad, how do I detect the existance of stunnel, and what version it is, so I could update stunnel if it's outdated. Regards, Koenraad Lelong. P.S. If this is the wrong list for such questions I apologize. I would like to know the right list.

protect the private key, while running stunnel in server mode as a windows service
by sandeep siroya 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

Hi, I have stunnel in server mode running as a windows service on a Win2003 Server system. I need to give this system to a different company for testing their client against our server. How do I protect my private key on stunnel, while letting the 3rd company being able to login as administrator on stunnel's win2003 system and start/stop stunnel service? I know one can protect the private key with a passphrase in stunnel, but that does not serve my purpose as stunnel in this case should be able to start/stop without any user-intervention and I cannot store the passphrase in cleartext. thanks , ss

Hello there, I have installed stunnel server on FreeBSD. I configure it like this cert=server_cert.pem key=private\server_key.pem socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 debug = 7 verify=2 CAfile=test_cert.pem [ssl_host_proxy] accept=172.24.150.15:1234 connect=192.168.1.1:10500 TIMEOUTidle=120 Client side is not a computer it's small device. I generate client certificates in this manor: echo off del test_ck.pem /q # delete previous test.ck.pem file echo Starting New test_ck file Generation C:\OpenSSL\bin\openssl.exe req -new -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -sha1 -out test_cert.pem -keyout test_key.pem -nodes -config sample_ck.cnf -days 1825 -batch C:\OpenSSL\bin\openssl.exe pkcs8 -in test_key.pem -topk8 -out test_pk8.pem -passout pass:"TestPassword0001" -noiter -v1 PBE-SHA1-3DES del test_key.pem /q copy test_cert.pem+test_pk8.pem test_ck.pem /y del test_pk8.pem /q Echo New test_ck.pem file has the following sections: findstr "BEGIN END" test_ck.pem pause test_cert.pem is on a stunnel server as CAfile and test_ck.pem is on my small device which is capable to connect via stunnel. And I generate other self-signed CA, and generate one certificate request and sign it via this CA, and install that key and certificate on server. cert=server_cert.pem key=private\server_key.pem All is working fine, but after one year my server certificate has expired, when I regenerate new server certificate and try to connect, I see in server log this: Child process 6094 finished with code 0 SSL state (accept): before accept initialization SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client hello A SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write server hello A SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write certificate A SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write server done A SSL state (accept): SSLv3 flush data SSL_accept: Peer suddenly disconnected And my device can't connect to the server, I haven't any client side logs and error messages, only NOT DELIVERED in my device. :( Can you please help me to solve this problem, I am trying many many times, I was very angry.. Thank you very much. Victor Harutyunyan. P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

socket not getting closed
by Manjunath S Karikatti 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

Hello, We are using stunnel to wrap the tcp connetion between the our client session used by users and the server process. Due to some reason when client session terminates abruptly (either due to user's PC crash or network outage) the stunnel process does not terminate. We see that the socket on client PC is closed but stunnel process is still alive with socket for that PC in established state. This is on AIX platform. Do not know this is issue with stunnel process or something on AIX needs to be tuned (like the tcp_keepidle value). Thanks for any info and help. Thanks and Regards, Manjunath
