This sounds like exactly what stunnel does. You want to have host A talk to Server A via SSL so you run stunneld on it. Then it will redirect that connection to server B via non-SSL. What protocol are we talking about here? Let's assume it's https: On Server A, setup stunnel with a conf file with these lines (as well as many others surely) [https] accept = 443 connect = serverb.smartbox.ca:80 Then your host connects to server a, negotiates SSL and the information is sent to the other server. I think your biggest issue is going to be the certificate on Server A so that the Host connects to the Server without certificate issues. Sincerely, Kevin A. McGrail aka KAM

Stunnel can only be installed on Server A

Hi, Can stunnel do this

Host A ---------> Server A ---------> Server B SSL unencrypted

This looks like the opposite of what stunnel does. I have a host that speaks SSL that needs to talk to a server that does not and the host must always initiate the connection. Any ideas if this can be done with stunnel or is there another way to do this. Thanks
