Users must have administrator access to the machines on which you want to install and configure Agents and to the Monitoring Station. The format of this file is exactly like /etc/hosts on Unix.Use the following information to secure an Uptime Infrastructure Monitor Monitoring Station to Windows Agent communication with TLS v1.2. To make this process a little more userfriendly, think up a hostname and stick it in \winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (windows NT/XP) or \windows\hosts (Windows '9x). To connect to the server, just open up the "map network drive" dialog and enter \\10.232.232.232\sharename in the "computer name" box. It is advisable to install the stunnel service so it will start on system boot, which means it will be (semi-)transparent to the user.

We will "abuse" this behaviour by tricking it into using this port. Only when that has no service listening either, it will tell the user it couldn't connect. When it finds no service listening there, it will try to fall back to port 139. Luckily for us, Windows has the following odd behaviour: When you click "map network drive" in the filemanager, it will first try to connect to port 445.

Unfortunately, the Windows filemanager has no way to specify which port to use when you click "map network drive", so that's not an option. This would mean we need to use another port for our fake "shared folder". (try it, you'll get a "permission denied" message). This means that no other process can ever bind this port. Some background on why this is a problem is in order.Īpparently, when Windows is booted, the kernel binds a socket to port 445 on every real (this is important as we'll see later on) network interface. Of course you can easily test it by connecting to localhost: # smbclient -U yoda //localhost/myshareĬonnecting a Windows client to samba over stunnel is a major hassle. You can run stunnel from rc.conf just like on the server side. As soon as you connect to your machine, the data is encrypted and forwarded to servername. This makes your client act as a samba server, to which you can connect. You'll need to swap the port numbers and put it in client mode. On a Unix client you simply install and run security/stunnel as described above. Even if it gets an error it will just fail silently. Just add stunnel=yes to your /etc/rc.conf: # echo "stunnel=yes" > /etc/rc.conf This can be generated like this: # openssl req -new -nodes -x509 -out stunnel/stunnel.pem -keyout /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem

# instead of port 139, port 445 will also work, unless you're using Mac OS X clientsĪs you can see, you'll need an SSL certificate/key. # Accept connections on port 800, on any interface The following will be sufficient if you only need the bare minimum to get a secure samba setup: Simple stunnel configuration for a secure samba setup # OpenSSL certificate Then you can copy /usr/pkg/share/examples/stunnel/nf-sample and modify it to your needs. You can install security/stunnel from ?pkgsrc. If you wish to allow only secure traffic, you can let it listen on localhost with the following statement in smb.conf: # Only listen on loopback interface

You set up the server just as you would normally, as described in How to set up a Samba Server.
