188=head1 DESCRIPTION
189
190The B<s_server> command implements a generic SSL/TLS server which listens
191for connections on a given port using SSL/TLS.
192
193=head1 OPTIONS
194
195In addition to the options below the B<s_server> utility also supports the
196common and server only options documented
197in the "Supported Command Line Commands" section of the L<SSL_CONF_cmd(3)>
198manual page.
199
200=over 4
201
202=item B<-help>
203
204Print out a usage message.
205
206=item B<-port +int>
207
208The TCP port to listen on for connections. If not specified 4433 is used.
209
210=item B<-accept val>
211
212The optional TCP host and port to listen on for connections. If not specified, *:4433 is used.
213
214=item B<-unix val>
215
216Unix domain socket to accept on.
217
218=item B<-4>
219
220Use IPv4 only.
221
222=item B<-6>
223
224Use IPv6 only.
225
226=item B<-unlink>
227
228For -unix, unlink any existing socket first.
229
230=item B<-context val>
231
232Sets the SSL context id. It can be given any string value. If this option
233is not present a default value will be used.
234
235=item B<-verify int>, B<-Verify int>
236
237The verify depth to use. This specifies the maximum length of the
238client certificate chain and makes the server request a certificate from
239the client. With the B<-verify> option a certificate is requested but the
240client does not have to send one, with the B<-Verify> option the client
241must supply a certificate or an error occurs.
242
243If the cipher suite cannot request a client certificate (for example an
244anonymous cipher suite or PSK) this option has no effect.
245
246=item B<-cert infile>
247
248The certificate to use, most servers cipher suites require the use of a
249certificate and some require a certificate with a certain public key type:
250for example the DSS cipher suites require a certificate containing a DSS
251(DSA) key. If not specified then the filename "server.pem" will be used.
252
253=item B<-cert_chain>
254
255A file containing trusted certificates to use when attempting to build the
256client/server certificate chain related to the certificate specified via the
257B<-cert> option.
258
259=item B<-build_chain>
260
261Specify whether the application should build the certificate chain to be
262provided to the client.
263
264=item B<-nameopt val>
265
266Option which determines how the subject or issuer names are displayed. The
267B<val> argument can be a single option or multiple options separated by
268commas.  Alternatively the B<-nameopt> switch may be used more than once to
269set multiple options. See the L<x509(1)> manual page for details.
270
271=item B<-naccept +int>
272
273The server will exit after receiving the specified number of connections,
274default unlimited.
275
276=item B<-serverinfo val>
277
278A file containing one or more blocks of PEM data.  Each PEM block
279must encode a TLS ServerHello extension (2 bytes type, 2 bytes length,
280followed by "length" bytes of extension data).  If the client sends
281an empty TLS ClientHello extension matching the type, the corresponding
282ServerHello extension will be returned.
283
284=item B<-certform PEM|DER>
285
286The certificate format to use: DER or PEM. PEM is the default.
287
288=item B<-key infile>
289
290The private key to use. If not specified then the certificate file will
291be used.
292
293=item B<-keyform format>
294
295The private format to use: DER or PEM. PEM is the default.
296
297=item B<-pass val>
298
299The private key password source. For more information about the format of B<val>
300see L<openssl(1)/Pass Phrase Options>.
301
302=item B<-dcert infile>, B<-dkey infile>
303
304Specify an additional certificate and private key, these behave in the
305same manner as the B<-cert> and B<-key> options except there is no default
306if they are not specified (no additional certificate and key is used). As
307noted above some cipher suites require a certificate containing a key of
308a certain type. Some cipher suites need a certificate carrying an RSA key
309and some a DSS (DSA) key. By using RSA and DSS certificates and keys
310a server can support clients which only support RSA or DSS cipher suites
311by using an appropriate certificate.
312
313=item B<-dcert_chain>
314
315A file containing trusted certificates to use when attempting to build the
316server certificate chain when a certificate specified via the B<-dcert> option
317is in use.
318
319=item B<-dcertform PEM|DER>, B<-dkeyform PEM|DER>, B<-dpass val>
320
321Additional certificate and private key format and passphrase respectively.
322
323=item B<-xkey infile>, B<-xcert infile>, B<-xchain>
324
325Specify an extra certificate, private key and certificate chain. These behave
326in the same manner as the B<-cert>, B<-key> and B<-cert_chain> options.  When
327specified, the callback returning the first valid chain will be in use by
328the server.
329
330=item B<-xchain_build>
331
332Specify whether the application should build the certificate chain to be
333provided to the client for the extra certificates provided via B<-xkey infile>,
334B<-xcert infile>, B<-xchain> options.
335
336=item B<-xcertform PEM|DER>, B<-xkeyform PEM|DER>
337
338Extra certificate and private key format respectively.
339
340=item B<-nbio_test>
341
342Tests non blocking I/O.
343
344=item B<-crlf>
345
346This option translated a line feed from the terminal into CR+LF.
347
348=item B<-debug>
349
350Print extensive debugging information including a hex dump of all traffic.
351
352=item B<-msg>
353
354Show all protocol messages with hex dump.
355
356=item B<-msgfile outfile>
357
358File to send output of B<-msg> or B<-trace> to, default standard output.
359
360=item B<-state>
361
362Prints the SSL session states.
363
364=item B<-CAfile infile>
365
366A file containing trusted certificates to use during client authentication
367and to use when attempting to build the server certificate chain. The list
368is also used in the list of acceptable client CAs passed to the client when
369a certificate is requested.
370
371=item B<-CApath dir>
372
373The directory to use for client certificate verification. This directory
374must be in "hash format", see L<verify(1)> for more information. These are
375also used when building the server certificate chain.
376
377=item B<-chainCApath dir>
378
379The directory to use for building the chain provided to the client. This
380directory must be in "hash format", see L<verify(1)> for more information.
381
382=item B<-chainCAfile file>
383
384A file containing trusted certificates to use when attempting to build the
385server certificate chain.
386
387=item B<-no-CAfile>
388
389Do not load the trusted CA certificates from the default file location.
390
391=item B<-no-CApath>
392
393Do not load the trusted CA certificates from the default directory location.
394
395=item B<-nocert>
396
397If this option is set then no certificate is used. This restricts the
398cipher suites available to the anonymous ones (currently just anonymous
399DH).
400
401=item B<-quiet>
402
403Inhibit printing of session and certificate information.
404
405=item B<-www>
406
407Sends a status message back to the client when it connects. This includes
408information about the ciphers used and various session parameters.
409The output is in HTML format so this option will normally be used with a
410web browser. Cannot be used in conjunction with B<-early_data>.
411
412=item B<-WWW>
413
414Emulates a simple web server. Pages will be resolved relative to the
415current directory, for example if the URL https://myhost/page.html is
416requested the file ./page.html will be loaded. Cannot be used in conjunction
417with B<-early_data>.
418
419=item B<-tlsextdebug>
420
421Print a hex dump of any TLS extensions received from the server.
422
423=item B<-HTTP>
424
425Emulates a simple web server. Pages will be resolved relative to the
426current directory, for example if the URL https://myhost/page.html is
427requested the file ./page.html will be loaded. The files loaded are
428assumed to contain a complete and correct HTTP response (lines that
429are part of the HTTP response line and headers must end with CRLF). Cannot be
430used in conjunction with B<-early_data>.
431
432=item B<-id_prefix val>
433
434Generate SSL/TLS session IDs prefixed by B<val>. This is mostly useful
435for testing any SSL/TLS code (e.g. proxies) that wish to deal with multiple
436servers, when each of which might be generating a unique range of session
437IDs (e.g. with a certain prefix).
438
439=item B<-rand file...>
440
441A file or files containing random data used to seed the random number
442generator.
443Multiple files can be specified separated by an OS-dependent character.
444The separator is B<;> for MS-Windows, B<,> for OpenVMS, and B<:> for
445all others.
446
447=item [B<-writerand file>]
448
449Writes random data to the specified I<file> upon exit.
450This can be used with a subsequent B<-rand> flag.
451
452=item B<-verify_return_error>
453
454Verification errors normally just print a message but allow the
455connection to continue, for debugging purposes.
456If this option is used, then verification errors close the connection.
457
458=item B<-status>
459
460Enables certificate status request support (aka OCSP stapling).
461
462=item B<-status_verbose>
463
464Enables certificate status request support (aka OCSP stapling) and gives
465a verbose printout of the OCSP response.
466
467=item B<-status_timeout int>
468
469Sets the timeout for OCSP response to B<int> seconds.
470
471=item B<-status_url val>
472
473Sets a fallback responder URL to use if no responder URL is present in the
474server certificate. Without this option an error is returned if the server
475certificate does not contain a responder address.
476
477=item B<-status_file infile>
478
479Overrides any OCSP responder URLs from the certificate and always provides the
480OCSP Response stored in the file. The file must be in DER format.
481
482=item B<-trace>
483
484Show verbose trace output of protocol messages. OpenSSL needs to be compiled
485with B<enable-ssl-trace> for this option to work.
486
487=item B<-brief>
488
489Provide a brief summary of connection parameters instead of the normal verbose
490output.
491
492=item B<-rev>
493
494Simple test server which just reverses the text received from the client
495and sends it back to the server. Also sets B<-brief>. Cannot be used in
496conjunction with B<-early_data>.
497
498=item B<-async>
499
500Switch on asynchronous mode. Cryptographic operations will be performed
501asynchronously. This will only have an effect if an asynchronous capable engine
502is also used via the B<-engine> option. For test purposes the dummy async engine
503(dasync) can be used (if available).
504
505=item B<-max_send_frag +int>
506
507The maximum size of data fragment to send.
508See L<SSL_CTX_set_max_send_fragment(3)> for further information.
509
510=item B<-split_send_frag +int>
511
512The size used to split data for encrypt pipelines. If more data is written in
513one go than this value then it will be split into multiple pipelines, up to the
514maximum number of pipelines defined by max_pipelines. This only has an effect if
515a suitable cipher suite has been negotiated, an engine that supports pipelining
516has been loaded, and max_pipelines is greater than 1. See
517L<SSL_CTX_set_split_send_fragment(3)> for further information.
518
519=item B<-max_pipelines +int>
520
521The maximum number of encrypt/decrypt pipelines to be used. This will only have
522an effect if an engine has been loaded that supports pipelining (e.g. the dasync
523engine) and a suitable cipher suite has been negotiated. The default value is 1.
524See L<SSL_CTX_set_max_pipelines(3)> for further information.
525
526=item B<-read_buf +int>
527
528The default read buffer size to be used for connections. This will only have an
529effect if the buffer size is larger than the size that would otherwise be used
530and pipelining is in use (see L<SSL_CTX_set_default_read_buffer_len(3)> for
531further information).
532
533=item B<-ssl2>, B<-ssl3>, B<-tls1>, B<-tls1_1>, B<-tls1_2>, B<-tls1_3>, B<-no_ssl2>, B<-no_ssl3>, B<-no_tls1>, B<-no_tls1_1>, B<-no_tls1_2>, B<-no_tls1_3>
534
535These options require or disable the use of the specified SSL or TLS protocols.
536By default B<s_server> will negotiate the highest mutually supported protocol
537version.
538When a specific TLS version is required, only that version will be accepted
539from the client.
540Note that not all protocols and flags may be available, depending on how
541OpenSSL was built.
542
543=item B<-bugs>
544
545There are several known bugs in SSL and TLS implementations. Adding this
546option enables various workarounds.
547
548=item B<-no_comp>
549
550Disable negotiation of TLS compression.
551TLS compression is not recommended and is off by default as of
552OpenSSL 1.1.0.
553
554=item B<-comp>
555
556Enable negotiation of TLS compression.
557This option was introduced in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
558TLS compression is not recommended and is off by default as of
559OpenSSL 1.1.0.
560
561=item B<-no_ticket>
562
563Disable RFC4507bis session ticket support. This option has no effect if TLSv1.3
564is negotiated. See B<-num_tickets>.
565
566=item B<-num_tickets>
567
568Control the number of tickets that will be sent to the client after a full
569handshake in TLSv1.3. The default number of tickets is 2. This option does not
570affect the number of tickets sent after a resumption handshake.
571
572=item B<-serverpref>
573
574Use the server's cipher preferences, rather than the client's preferences.
575
576=item B<-prioritize_chacha>
577
578Prioritize ChaCha ciphers when preferred by clients. Requires B<-serverpref>.
579
580=item B<-no_resumption_on_reneg>
581
582Set the B<SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION> option.
583
584=item B<-client_sigalgs val>
585
586Signature algorithms to support for client certificate authentication
587(colon-separated list).
588
589=item B<-named_curve val>
590
591Specifies the elliptic curve to use. NOTE: this is single curve, not a list.
592For a list of all possible curves, use:
593
594    $ openssl ecparam -list_curves
595
596=item B<-cipher val>
597
598This allows the list of TLSv1.2 and below ciphersuites used by the server to be
599modified. This list is combined with any TLSv1.3 ciphersuites that have been
600configured. When the client sends a list of supported ciphers the first client
601cipher also included in the server list is used. Because the client specifies
602the preference order, the order of the server cipherlist is irrelevant. See
603the B<ciphers> command for more information.
604
605=item B<-ciphersuites val>
606
607This allows the list of TLSv1.3 ciphersuites used by the server to be modified.
608This list is combined with any TLSv1.2 and below ciphersuites that have been
609configured. When the client sends a list of supported ciphers the first client
610cipher also included in the server list is used. Because the client specifies
611the preference order, the order of the server cipherlist is irrelevant. See
612the B<ciphers> command for more information. The format for this list is a
613simple colon (":") separated list of TLSv1.3 ciphersuite names.
614
615=item B<-dhparam infile>
616
617The DH parameter file to use. The ephemeral DH cipher suites generate keys
618using a set of DH parameters. If not specified then an attempt is made to
619load the parameters from the server certificate file.
620If this fails then a static set of parameters hard coded into the B<s_server>
621program will be used.
622
623=item B<-attime>, B<-check_ss_sig>, B<-crl_check>, B<-crl_check_all>,
624B<-explicit_policy>, B<-extended_crl>, B<-ignore_critical>, B<-inhibit_any>,
625B<-inhibit_map>, B<-no_alt_chains>, B<-no_check_time>, B<-partial_chain>, B<-policy>,
626B<-policy_check>, B<-policy_print>, B<-purpose>, B<-suiteB_128>,
627B<-suiteB_128_only>, B<-suiteB_192>, B<-trusted_first>, B<-use_deltas>,
628B<-auth_level>, B<-verify_depth>, B<-verify_email>, B<-verify_hostname>,
629B<-verify_ip>, B<-verify_name>, B<-x509_strict>
630
631Set different peer certificate verification options.
632See the L<verify(1)> manual page for details.
633
634=item B<-crl_check>, B<-crl_check_all>
635
636Check the peer certificate has not been revoked by its CA.
637The CRL(s) are appended to the certificate file. With the B<-crl_check_all>
638option all CRLs of all CAs in the chain are checked.
639
640=item B<-nbio>
641
642Turns on non blocking I/O.
643
644=item B<-psk_identity val>
645
646Expect the client to send PSK identity B<val> when using a PSK
647cipher suite, and warn if they do not.  By default, the expected PSK
648identity is the string "Client_identity".
649
650=item B<-psk_hint val>
651
652Use the PSK identity hint B<val> when using a PSK cipher suite.
653
654=item B<-psk val>
655
656Use the PSK key B<val> when using a PSK cipher suite. The key is
657given as a hexadecimal number without leading 0x, for example -psk
6581a2b3c4d.
659This option must be provided in order to use a PSK cipher.
660
661=item B<-psk_session file>
662
663Use the pem encoded SSL_SESSION data stored in B<file> as the basis of a PSK.
664Note that this will only work if TLSv1.3 is negotiated.
665
666=item B<-listen>
667
668This option can only be used in conjunction with one of the DTLS options above.
669With this option B<s_server> will listen on a UDP port for incoming connections.
670Any ClientHellos that arrive will be checked to see if they have a cookie in
671them or not.
672Any without a cookie will be responded to with a HelloVerifyRequest.
673If a ClientHello with a cookie is received then B<s_server> will connect to
674that peer and complete the handshake.
675
676=item B<-dtls>, B<-dtls1>, B<-dtls1_2>
677
678These options make B<s_server> use DTLS protocols instead of TLS.
679With B<-dtls>, B<s_server> will negotiate any supported DTLS protocol version,
680whilst B<-dtls1> and B<-dtls1_2> will only support DTLSv1.0 and DTLSv1.2
681respectively.
682
683=item B<-sctp>
684
685Use SCTP for the transport protocol instead of UDP in DTLS. Must be used in
686conjunction with B<-dtls>, B<-dtls1> or B<-dtls1_2>. This option is only
687available where OpenSSL has support for SCTP enabled.
688
689=item B<-sctp_label_bug>
690
691Use the incorrect behaviour of older OpenSSL implementations when computing
692endpoint-pair shared secrets for DTLS/SCTP. This allows communication with
693older broken implementations but breaks interoperability with correct
694implementations. Must be used in conjunction with B<-sctp>. This option is only
695available where OpenSSL has support for SCTP enabled.
696
697=item B<-no_dhe>
698
699If this option is set then no DH parameters will be loaded effectively
700disabling the ephemeral DH cipher suites.
701
702=item B<-alpn val>, B<-nextprotoneg val>
703
704These flags enable the Enable the Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation
705or Next Protocol Negotiation (NPN) extension, respectively. ALPN is the
706IETF standard and replaces NPN.
707The B<val> list is a comma-separated list of supported protocol
708names.  The list should contain the most desirable protocols first.
709Protocol names are printable ASCII strings, for example "http/1.1" or
710"spdy/3".
711The flag B<-nextprotoneg> cannot be specified if B<-tls1_3> is used.
712
713=item B<-engine val>
714
715Specifying an engine (by its unique id string in B<val>) will cause B<s_server>
716to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine,
717thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default
718for all available algorithms.
719
720=item B<-keylogfile outfile>
721
722Appends TLS secrets to the specified keylog file such that external programs
723(like Wireshark) can decrypt TLS connections.
724
725=item B<-max_early_data int>
726
727Change the default maximum early data bytes that are specified for new sessions
728and any incoming early data (when used in conjunction with the B<-early_data>
729flag). The default value is approximately 16k. The argument must be an integer
730greater than or equal to 0.
731
732=item B<-early_data>
733
734Accept early data where possible. Cannot be used in conjunction with B<-www>,
735B<-WWW>, B<-HTTP> or B<-rev>.
736
737=item B<-anti_replay>, B<-no_anti_replay>
738
739Switches replay protection on or off, respectively. Replay protection is on by
740default unless overridden by a configuration file. When it is on, OpenSSL will
741automatically detect if a session ticket has been used more than once, TLSv1.3
742has been negotiated, and early data is enabled on the server. A full handshake
743is forced if a session ticket is used a second or subsequent time. Any early
744data that was sent will be rejected.

747
748=head1 CONNECTED COMMANDS
749
750If a connection request is established with an SSL client and neither the
751B<-www> nor the B<-WWW> option has been used then normally any data received
752from the client is displayed and any key presses will be sent to the client.
753
754Certain commands are also recognized which perform special operations. These
755commands are a letter which must appear at the start of a line. They are listed
756below.
757
758=over 4
759
760=item B<q>
761
762End the current SSL connection but still accept new connections.
763
764=item B<Q>
765
766End the current SSL connection and exit.
767
768=item B<r>
769
770Renegotiate the SSL session (TLSv1.2 and below only).
771
772=item B<R>
773
774Renegotiate the SSL session and request a client certificate (TLSv1.2 and below
775only).
776
777=item B<P>
778
779Send some plain text down the underlying TCP connection: this should
780cause the client to disconnect due to a protocol violation.
781
782=item B<S>
783
784Print out some session cache status information.
785
786=item B<B>
787
788Send a heartbeat message to the client (DTLS only)
789
790=item B<k>
791
792Send a key update message to the client (TLSv1.3 only)
793
794=item B<K>
795
796Send a key update message to the client and request one back (TLSv1.3 only)
797
798=item B<c>
799
800Send a certificate request to the client (TLSv1.3 only)
801
802=back
803
804=head1 NOTES
805
806B<s_server> can be used to debug SSL clients. To accept connections from
807a web browser the command:
808
809 openssl s_server -accept 443 -www
810
811can be used for example.
812
813Although specifying an empty list of CAs when requesting a client certificate
814is strictly speaking a protocol violation, some SSL clients interpret this to
815mean any CA is acceptable. This is useful for debugging purposes.
816
817The session parameters can printed out using the B<sess_id> program.
818
819=head1 BUGS
820
821Because this program has a lot of options and also because some of the
822techniques used are rather old, the C source of B<s_server> is rather hard to
823read and not a model of how things should be done.
824A typical SSL server program would be much simpler.
825
826The output of common ciphers is wrong: it just gives the list of ciphers that
827OpenSSL recognizes and the client supports.
828
829There should be a way for the B<s_server> program to print out details of any
830unknown cipher suites a client says it supports.
