Hi Eric,
I run my application with stunnel in the client mode (client = yes in config
file) . I do not have control on the stunnel running in server mode though.
If i understand your mail correctly, the hack is to copy the certs to any local
directory that should be accessible and then delete the same after the
connection is established? I dont have problems maintaining the pem files if i
can access the file system to create them, but i am exploring an option, which
i couldnt figure out from the stunnel documentation, if i can specify the certs
inside the configuration file for stunnel itself rather than feeding them
through a file. I have an environment where the certificates and keys are
available as strings to my applications and hence the idea is to use them
directly in stunnel config rather than as a file.
Thanks
Hari

Use stunnel in inetd mode. Execute a script (or better C program). Copy the

you are doing.
I am not sure why anyone would think it more secure to put the keys into the
stunnel command than to just use them from a file … but I likely do not know
enough about your application to make a judgement.

Subject: [stunnel-users] Is there a way to specify certificate content in
stunnel config
Hi,
I have a requirement where in i cannot specify the certificate and/or private
key details as "files" to stunnel configuration, owing to the location and/or
file system availability for stunnel to access them.
Is there a way to specify the actual certificate content in stunnel
configuration (similar to other parameters like port numbers etc.,) so that the
same can be leveraged.
Thanks
Hari
