--===============1644640948== Content-Class: urn:content-classes:message Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----_=_NextPart_001_01C6728F.E7F32C2E" This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------_=_NextPart_001_01C6728F.E7F32C2E Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, =20 I am new to stunnel. My application listens on 6 socket ports. External applications either dump data on these socket ports or send requests on these socket ports to receive data. Thus, my application is a server and external applications are clients. We got to authenticate these external applications before accepting the requests/data. So I am planning to use client certificate authentication of stunnel. In this case, should the server have a certificate as well? Will the server be authenticated? Is it necessary for all the external applications to be using the same certificate? =20 Thanks, Sri =20 Disclaimer: ***********=20 The contents of this E-mail (including the contents of the enclosure(s) = or attachment(s) if any) are privileged and confidential material of HCL = Capital Market Services and should not be disclosed to, used by or = copied in any manner by anyone other than the intended addressee(s).
