I am starting to test out port 1984 encryption using stunnel approach, see following wiki notes.
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Hobbit/Administration_Guide#Hobbit.28bb.29_port_1984_encryption
Has anyone done this already ? Hoping someone already did this. so I can shorten my try and error process.
FWIW, we have been using Big Brother clients with stunnel to monitor remote sites for years. It works perfectly. Since Hobbit also uses a simple, tcp based protocol, I see no reason why it shouldn't work as well.
Ulric,
I am new to stunnel and trying to get stunnel to work with hobbit client and server.
A few questions here.
1. So basically I can configure a hobbit/bb(using same port) server to both accept either encrypted
bb messages or plain one, correct ?
2. I can use tcp-wrapper to restrict only the hobbit server itself can connect to itself to lock down
plain bb message connection from public, correct ?
3. I got 4.20 stunnel compiled and configured, but the examples on stunnel.org is for older version which accept "-c" kind of options. I am having problem to really redirect the bb message from a bb client using port 1999 to remote hb server which accepting 1999 (then redirect to local 1984).
I don't know what other stops I need to to fill the following url.
