Hi,
There is one case in my environment where secure connection to server
doesn't happen...reason is only client hello is sent in ethereal traces
and no server hello reply has been sent.although I have enable debug
level 7 in stunnel.conf file but then also stunnel.log file has not been
created.If server is the setup on which stunnel package is installd,then
is there anything to do with stunnel package if server hello reply has
not been sent for client hello meaasge.

Can anybody tell in what cases server hello message is not sent.

Regards
Ankur

Ankur,

You have to specify a log file in the configuration file, e.g.;

output = stunnel.log

The location of the log file depends on the environment and version you
are running. In Windows, the above statement puts the log file in

%programfiles%\stunnel

In Linux in versions through 4.29, I used

output = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.log

which puts the log file in

/etc/stunnel.

I did not use version 4.30, but in version 4.31 the directory is
relative to the chroot so I now use

output = /stunnel.log

which puts the log file in

/usr/local/var/lib/stunnel

using the standard settings.

Hi carter,
thanks for the reply but this thing I already know...i have
changed the file location also...the problem is we are having two client
server setups in which we have to implement the secure connection...the
thing is on one setup everything is working fine but with the other
setup issue is coming in TLS handshak itself...and both the setups are
having same configuration as well as software...and same environment
also...we can not also say that it is setup issue....i just want to know
the cases in which if tls handshake is not throing a alert message of
warning/fatal....then why this server hello message is not seen...is
stunnel have something to do with sending of this server hello
message...

Best Regards
Ankur

Ankur,

If you post the sections of the log messages from both sides about the
failure, someone on the group should be able to help you with your problem.
