      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      stunnel-5.71-2.el8.x86_64 fails to start when trusted CA certificates are supplied in extended BEGIN/END TRUSTED CERTIFICATE file format, while the same configuration used to work on stunnel-5.56-5.el8_3.x86_64

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      stunnel-5.71-2.el8.x86_64

      Steps to reproduce

      1) stunnel configuration contains CAfile set to a trusted certificate bundle certificates in the extended BEGIN/END TRUSTED CERTIFICATE file format, i.e. to /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.trust.crt

      /etc/stunnel.conf:

      [pop3]
      protocol = pop3
      client = yes
      accept = 127.0.0.1:20110
      connect = 127.0.0.1:110
      checkHost = 127.0.0.1
      requireCert=yes
      verifyChain=yes
      CAfile = /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.trust.crt
      
      
      

      2) stunnel.service fails to start with the following error message:

       stunnel[xxx]: [!] No trusted certificates found
       stunnel[xxx]: [!] Service [XXX]: Failed to initialize TLS context
       stunnel[xxx]: [!] Configuration failed

      Expected results

      stunnel has this breaking change (stop of support for certificates/bundles BEGIN/END TRUSTED CERTIFICATE format) covered in its documentation / changelog

      Actual results

      stunnel fails to start and the change is not covered in the documentation / changelog
