Stunnel Support with Adobe Connect 9.x

Up until Adobe Connect 9.0.0.1 (full installer) for on-premise (licensed) deployments, Adobe packaged Stunnel with the Connect application to handle the software SSL.  With the release of 9.0.0.1 of Adobe Connect, we included Stunnel 4.53 but do not unpack and install it with the installer (as we previously had done with Connect 8.x).  If you install (or are running) 9.0.0.1 and are looking for the Stunnel package, you need to navigate into the unpacked Adobe Connect 9.0.0.1 installer folder ({unpacked folder}\Adobe Connect 9.0.0.1\Adobe Connect\Merge_Modules) and look for the stunnel-4.53.zip file.  From there, you can install Stunnel 4.53 for your SSL deployment.

With the release of Adobe Connect 9.1.1, we no longer even ship the Connect installer with the Stunnel bits.  So you will need to obtain the Stunnel installer from either Stunnel’s website or from a 9.0.0.1 installer of Adobe Connect.  The last shipped version of Stunnel (with Connect 9.0.0.1) was 4.53, but again it was not ‘unpacked and installed’ as of 9.0.0.1.

The latest build of Stunnel that Adobe QE has tested with is version 4.56, which at the time of this article, is the latest production Stunnel build.
