Thanks, and yes.
A co-worker was having a look at the stunnel code while I was pursuing
this. He found the message in their "verify.c" as well as a bug report
against v4.32. They were checking for the cert's Subject to precisely
match, throwing this error on a mismatch. It was patched in v4.4

You might also wish to verify that the openssl binary you're using for
c_rehash is version 1.0.1e.

The "Verify return code: 19" was because I specified the wrong CApath on
the s_client.
s_server/s_client works perfect. I also tried s_server with the stunnel
client, and the cert is accepted no problem. I think this lies solely with
the stunnel server process.
Thanks so much for the extra set
It's stunnel 4.32 compiled on AIX 6.1 (TL8 SP3) with openssl 1.0.1e.
Initially I thought this was in OpenSSL due to the "NO X509_NAME" message
in the stunnel log. It had been working fine for years with the same
certs, config files, etc with OpenSSL 0.9.8x and prior. Now I'm not so
sure.
When I
Didn't the rehash naming or linking algorithm change sometime between
0.9.8 and 1.0.1?
Also, 0.9.8 and 1.0.1 are not ABI-compatible. I don't know how AIX does
shared-object support, but it might be wise to recompile stunnel against
the new headers and libraries.

I’m a bit stumped. Is this openssl s_client/s_server, or stunnel that’s
failing? And are you sure it is using the certs that you think it is? Have
you run, for example, s_client with –debug and –msg flags?

Thanks for the reply.
It seems that in between reboots, OpenSSL was updated, and stunnel was
re-compiled and delivered with the newer OpenSSL on the server (AIX) side

Something changed in addition to the system rebooting. New softwa
