Hi Johann,

I investigated this issue it and I found out that encrypted private keys were 
never working with OpenSSL 3.0 (regardless of stunnel version).

Thank you very much for reporting this bug!

Please try building 
https://www.stunnel.org/downloads/beta/stunnel-5.66b1.tar.gz from source.  It 
works fine in my tests.

Also, https://www.stunnel.org/downloads/beta/stunnel-5.66b1-win64-installer.exe 
should fix it on Windows.

Best regards,
    Mike

Hi,

since stunnel 5.62 it does not take the passphrase for a client key anymore, 
instead it gives a 'bad decrypt' log at once.

It is the same behaviour at Debian/sid Distro as well as with Windows10.

Up to stunnel 5.61 the same stunnel.conf is accepted and the key gets loaded.

Here is the top of our stunnel.conf:

cert = /home/regula/cert.pem
key = /home/regula/cert.key

client = yes

[-- snip --]

Calling stunnel at the bash:

$ stunnel stunnel.conf
[-- snip --]

-r-------- 1 regula regula 3,4K 22. Jun 16:52 cert.key
-r-------- 1 regula regula 2,2K 22. Jun 16:45 cert.pem

openssl does show the enter passphrase dialog and displays the private key:

$ $ openssl rsa -in cert.key
Enter pass phrase for cert.key:
writing RSA key
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
[-- snip --]
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----

~$ dpkg -l|grep openssl
ii  openssl 3.0.4-2 amd64 Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - cryptographic utility
~$ dpkg -l|grep stunnel
ii  stunnel4  3:5.63-1+b1 amd64 Universal SSL tunnel for network daemons

Why is there a different behaviour between openssl and stunnel > 5.61 in 
loading a private key file?


Regards,
Johann
