158=head1 DESCRIPTION
159
160This command implements a generic SSL/TLS server which
161listens for connections on a given port using SSL/TLS.
162
163=head1 OPTIONS
164
165In addition to the options below, this command also supports
166the common and server only options documented
167L<SSL_CONF_cmd(3)/Supported Command Line Commands>
168
169=over 4
170
171=item B<-help>
172
173Print out a usage message.
174
175=item B<-port> I<+int>
176
177The TCP port to listen on for connections. If not specified 4433 is used.
178
179=item B<-accept> I<val>
180
181The optional TCP host and port to listen on for connections. If not specified, *:4433 is used.
182
183=item B<-unix> I<val>
184
185Unix domain socket to accept on.
186
187=item B<-4>
188
189Use IPv4 only.
190
191=item B<-6>
192
193Use IPv6 only.
194
195=item B<-unlink>
196
197For -unix, unlink any existing socket first.
198
199=item B<-context> I<val>
200
201Sets the SSL context id. It can be given any string value. If this option
202is not present a default value will be used.
203
204=item B<-verify> I<int>, B<-Verify> I<int>
205
206The verify depth to use. This specifies the maximum length of the
207client certificate chain and makes the server request a certificate from
208the client. With the B<-verify> option a certificate is requested but the
209client does not have to send one, with the B<-Verify> option the client
210must supply a certificate or an error occurs.
211
212If the cipher suite cannot request a client certificate (for example an
213anonymous cipher suite or PSK) this option has no effect.
214
215=item B<-cert> I<infile>
216
217The certificate to use, most servers cipher suites require the use of a
218certificate and some require a certificate with a certain public key type:
219for example the DSS cipher suites require a certificate containing a DSS
220(DSA) key. If not specified then the filename F<server.pem> will be used.
221
222=item B<-cert2> I<infile>
223
224The certificate file to use for servername; default is C<server2.pem>.
225
226=item B<-certform> B<DER>|B<PEM>|B<P12>
227
228The server certificate file format; unspecified by default.
229See L<openssl-format-options(1)> for details.
230
231=item B<-cert_chain>
232
233A file or URI of untrusted certificates to use when attempting to build the
234certificate chain related to the certificate specified via the B<-cert> option.
235These untrusted certificates are sent to clients and used for generating
236certificate status (aka OCSP stapling) requests.
237The input can be in PEM, DER, or PKCS#12 format.
238
239=item B<-build_chain>
240
241Specify whether the application should build the server certificate chain to be
242provided to the client.
243
244=item B<-serverinfo> I<val>
245
246A file containing one or more blocks of PEM data.  Each PEM block
247must encode a TLS ServerHello extension (2 bytes type, 2 bytes length,
248followed by "length" bytes of extension data).  If the client sends
249an empty TLS ClientHello extension matching the type, the corresponding
250ServerHello extension will be returned.
251
252=item B<-key> I<filename>|I<uri>
253
254The private key to use. If not specified then the certificate file will
255be used.
256
257=item B<-key2> I<filename>|I<uri>
258
259The private Key file to use for servername if not given via B<-cert2>.
260
261=item B<-keyform> B<DER>|B<PEM>|B<P12>|B<ENGINE>
262
263The key format; unspecified by default.
264See L<openssl-format-options(1)> for details.
265
266=item B<-pass> I<val>
267
268The private key and certificate file password source.
269For more information about the format of I<val>,
270see L<openssl-passphrase-options(1)>.
271
272=item B<-dcert> I<infile>, B<-dkey> I<filename>|I<uri>
273
274Specify an additional certificate and private key, these behave in the
275same manner as the B<-cert> and B<-key> options except there is no default
276if they are not specified (no additional certificate and key is used). As
277noted above some cipher suites require a certificate containing a key of
278a certain type. Some cipher suites need a certificate carrying an RSA key
279and some a DSS (DSA) key. By using RSA and DSS certificates and keys
280a server can support clients which only support RSA or DSS cipher suites
281by using an appropriate certificate.
282
283=item B<-dcert_chain>
284
285A file or URI of untrusted certificates to use when attempting to build the
286server certificate chain when a certificate specified via the B<-dcert> option
287is in use.
288The input can be in PEM, DER, or PKCS#12 format.
289
290=item B<-dcertform> B<DER>|B<PEM>|B<P12>
291
292The format of the additional certificate file; unspecified by default.
293See L<openssl-format-options(1)> for details.
294
295=item B<-dkeyform> B<DER>|B<PEM>|B<P12>|B<ENGINE>
296
297The format of the additional private key; unspecified by default.
298See L<openssl-format-options(1)> for details.
299
300=item B<-dpass> I<val>
301
302The passphrase for the additional private key and certificate.
303For more information about the format of I<val>,
304see L<openssl-passphrase-options(1)>.
305
306=item B<-nbio_test>
307
308Tests non blocking I/O.
309
310=item B<-crlf>
311
312This option translated a line feed from the terminal into CR+LF.
313
314=item B<-debug>
315
316Print extensive debugging information including a hex dump of all traffic.
317
318=item B<-security_debug>
319
320Print output from SSL/TLS security framework.
321
322=item B<-security_debug_verbose>
323
324Print more output from SSL/TLS security framework
325
326=item B<-msg>

328Show all protocol messages with hex dump.
329
330=item B<-msgfile> I<outfile>
331
332File to send output of B<-msg> or B<-trace> to, default standard output.
333
334=item B<-state>
335
336Prints the SSL session states.
337
338=item B<-CRL> I<infile>
339
340The CRL file to use.
341
342=item B<-CRLform> B<DER>|B<PEM>
343
344The CRL file format; unspecified by default.
345See L<openssl-format-options(1)> for details.
346
347=item B<-crl_download>
348
349Download CRLs from distribution points given in CDP extensions of certificates
350
351=item B<-verifyCAfile> I<filename>
352
353A file in PEM format CA containing trusted certificates to use
354for verifying client certificates.
355
356=item B<-verifyCApath> I<dir>
357
358A directory containing trusted certificates to use
359for verifying client certificates.
360This directory must be in "hash format",
361see L<openssl-verify(1)> for more information.
362
363=item B<-verifyCAstore> I<uri>
364
365The URI of a store containing trusted certificates to use
366for verifying client certificates.
367
368=item B<-chainCAfile> I<file>
369
370A file in PEM format containing trusted certificates to use
371when attempting to build the server certificate chain.
372
373=item B<-chainCApath> I<dir>
374
375A directory containing trusted certificates to use
376for building the server certificate chain provided to the client.
377This directory must be in "hash format",
378see L<openssl-verify(1)> for more information.
379
380=item B<-chainCAstore> I<uri>
381
382The URI of a store containing trusted certificates to use
383for building the server certificate chain provided to the client.
384The URI may indicate a single certificate, as well as a collection of them.
385With URIs in the C<file:> scheme, this acts as B<-chainCAfile> or
386B<-chainCApath>, depending on if the URI indicates a directory or a
387single file.
388See L<ossl_store-file(7)> for more information on the C<file:> scheme.
389
390=item B<-nocert>
391
392If this option is set then no certificate is used. This restricts the
393cipher suites available to the anonymous ones (currently just anonymous
394DH).
395
396=item B<-quiet>
397
398Inhibit printing of session and certificate information.
399
400=item B<-no_resume_ephemeral>
401
402Disable caching and tickets if ephemeral (EC)DH is used.
403
404=item B<-tlsextdebug>
405
406Print a hex dump of any TLS extensions received from the server.
407
408=item B<-www>
409
410Sends a status message back to the client when it connects. This includes
411information about the ciphers used and various session parameters.
412The output is in HTML format so this option can be used with a web browser.
413The special URL C</renegcert> turns on client cert validation, and C</reneg>
414tells the server to request renegotiation.
415
416=item B<-WWW>, B<-HTTP>
417
418Emulates a simple web server. Pages will be resolved relative to the
419current directory, for example if the URL C<https://myhost/page.html> is
420requested the file F<./page.html> will be sent.
421If the B<-HTTP> flag is used, the files are sent directly, and should contain
422any HTTP response headers (including status response line).
423If the B<-WWW> option is used,
424the response headers are generated by the server, and the file extension is
425examined to determine the B<Content-Type> header.
426Extensions of C<html>, C<htm>, and C<php> are C<text/html> and all others are
427C<text/plain>.
428In addition, the special URL C</stats> will return status
429information like the B<-www> option.
430
431=item B<-http_server_binmode>
432
433When acting as web-server (using option B<-WWW> or B<-HTTP>) open files requested
434by the client in binary mode.
435
436=item B<-no_ca_names>
437
438Disable TLS Extension CA Names. You may want to disable it for security reasons
439or for compatibility with some Windows TLS implementations crashing when this
440extension is larger than 1024 bytes.
441
442=item B<-ignore_unexpected_eof>
443
444Some TLS implementations do not send the mandatory close_notify alert on
445shutdown. If the application tries to wait for the close_notify alert but the
446peer closes the connection without sending it, an error is generated. When this
447option is enabled the peer does not need to send the close_notify alert and a
448closed connection will be treated as if the close_notify alert was received.
449For more information on shutting down a connection, see L<SSL_shutdown(3)>.
450
451=item B<-servername>
452
453Servername for HostName TLS extension.
454
455=item B<-servername_fatal>
456
457On servername mismatch send fatal alert (default: warning alert).
458
459=item B<-id_prefix> I<val>
460
461Generate SSL/TLS session IDs prefixed by I<val>. This is mostly useful
462for testing any SSL/TLS code (e.g. proxies) that wish to deal with multiple
463servers, when each of which might be generating a unique range of session
464IDs (e.g. with a certain prefix).
465
466=item B<-keymatexport>
467
468Export keying material using label.
469
470=item B<-keymatexportlen>
471
472Export the given number of bytes of keying material; default 20.
473
474=item B<-no_cache>
475
476Disable session cache.
477
478=item B<-ext_cache>.
479
480Disable internal cache, set up and use external cache.
481
482=item B<-verify_return_error>
483
484Verification errors normally just print a message but allow the
485connection to continue, for debugging purposes.
486If this option is used, then verification errors close the connection.
487
488=item B<-verify_quiet>
489
490No verify output except verify errors.
491
492=item B<-ign_eof>
493
494Ignore input EOF (default: when B<-quiet>).
495
496=item B<-no_ign_eof>
497
498Do not ignore input EOF.
499
500=item B<-no_etm>
501
502Disable Encrypt-then-MAC negotiation.
503
504=item B<-no_ems>
505
506Disable Extended master secret negotiation.
507
508=item B<-status>
509
510Enables certificate status request support (aka OCSP stapling).
511
512=item B<-status_verbose>
513
514Enables certificate status request support (aka OCSP stapling) and gives
515a verbose printout of the OCSP response.
516Use the B<-cert_chain> option to specify the certificate of the server's
517certificate signer that is required for certificate status requests.
518
519=item B<-status_timeout> I<int>
520
521Sets the timeout for OCSP response to I<int> seconds.
522
523=item B<-proxy> I<[http[s]://][userinfo@]host[:port][/path][?query][#fragment]>
524
525The HTTP(S) proxy server to use for reaching the OCSP server unless B<-no_proxy>
526applies, see below.
527If the host string is an IPv6 address, it must be enclosed in C<[> and C<]>.
528The proxy port defaults to 80 or 443 if the scheme is C<https>; apart from that
529the optional C<http://> or C<https://> prefix is ignored,
530as well as any userinfo, path, query, and fragment components.
531Defaults to the environment variable C<http_proxy> if set, else C<HTTP_PROXY>
532in case no TLS is used, otherwise C<https_proxy> if set, else C<HTTPS_PROXY>.
533
534=item B<-no_proxy> I<addresses>
535
536List of IP addresses and/or DNS names of servers
537not to use an HTTP(S) proxy for, separated by commas and/or whitespace
538(where in the latter case the whole argument must be enclosed in "...").
539Default is from the environment variable C<no_proxy> if set, else C<NO_PROXY>.
540
541=item B<-status_url> I<val>
542
543Sets a fallback responder URL to use if no responder URL is present in the
544server certificate. Without this option an error is returned if the server
545certificate does not contain a responder address.
546The optional userinfo and fragment URL components are ignored.
547Any given query component is handled as part of the path component.
548
549=item B<-status_file> I<infile>
550
551Overrides any OCSP responder URLs from the certificate and always provides the
552OCSP Response stored in the file. The file must be in DER format.
553
554=item B<-ssl_config> I<val>
555
556Configure SSL_CTX using the given configuration value.
557
558=item B<-trace>
559
560Show verbose trace output of protocol messages.
561
562=item B<-brief>
563
564Provide a brief summary of connection parameters instead of the normal verbose
565output.
566
567=item B<-rev>
568
569Simple echo server that sends back received text reversed. Also sets B<-brief>.
570Cannot be used in conjunction with B<-early_data>.
571
572=item B<-async>
573
574Switch on asynchronous mode. Cryptographic operations will be performed
575asynchronously. This will only have an effect if an asynchronous capable engine
576is also used via the B<-engine> option. For test purposes the dummy async engine
577(dasync) can be used (if available).
578
579=item B<-max_send_frag> I<+int>
580
581The maximum size of data fragment to send.
582See L<SSL_CTX_set_max_send_fragment(3)> for further information.
583
584=item B<-split_send_frag> I<+int>
585
586The size used to split data for encrypt pipelines. If more data is written in
587one go than this value then it will be split into multiple pipelines, up to the
588maximum number of pipelines defined by max_pipelines. This only has an effect if
589a suitable cipher suite has been negotiated, an engine that supports pipelining
590has been loaded, and max_pipelines is greater than 1. See
591L<SSL_CTX_set_split_send_fragment(3)> for further information.
592
593=item B<-max_pipelines> I<+int>
594
595The maximum number of encrypt/decrypt pipelines to be used. This will only have
596an effect if an engine has been loaded that supports pipelining (e.g. the dasync
597engine) and a suitable cipher suite has been negotiated. The default value is 1.
598See L<SSL_CTX_set_max_pipelines(3)> for further information.
599
600=item B<-naccept> I<+int>
601
602The server will exit after receiving the specified number of connections,
603default unlimited.
604
605=item B<-read_buf> I<+int>
606
607The default read buffer size to be used for connections. This will only have an
608effect if the buffer size is larger than the size that would otherwise be used
609and pipelining is in use (see L<SSL_CTX_set_default_read_buffer_len(3)> for
610further information).
611
612=item B<-bugs>
613
614There are several known bugs in SSL and TLS implementations. Adding this
615option enables various workarounds.
616
617=item B<-no_tx_cert_comp>
618
619Disables support for sending TLSv1.3 compressed certificates.
620
621=item B<-no_rx_cert_comp>
622
623Disables support for receiving TLSv1.3 compressed certificates.
624
625=item B<-no_comp>
626
627Disable negotiation of TLS compression.
628TLS compression is not recommended and is off by default as of
629OpenSSL 1.1.0.
630
631=item B<-comp>
632
633Enables support for SSL/TLS compression.
634This option was introduced in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
635TLS compression is not recommended and is off by default as of
636OpenSSL 1.1.0. TLS compression can only be used in security level 1 or
637lower. From OpenSSL 3.2.0 and above the default security level is 2, so this
638option will have no effect without also changing the security level. Use the
639B<-cipher> option to change the security level. See L<openssl-ciphers(1)> for
640more information.
641
642=item B<-no_ticket>
643
644Disable RFC4507bis session ticket support. This option has no effect if TLSv1.3
645is negotiated. See B<-num_tickets>.
646
647=item B<-num_tickets>
648
649Control the number of tickets that will be sent to the client after a full
650handshake in TLSv1.3. The default number of tickets is 2. This option does not
651affect the number of tickets sent after a resumption handshake.
652
653=item B<-serverpref>
654
655Use the server's cipher preferences, rather than the client's preferences.
656
657=item B<-prioritize_chacha>
658
659Prioritize ChaCha ciphers when preferred by clients. Requires B<-serverpref>.
660
661=item B<-no_resumption_on_reneg>
662
663Set the B<SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION> option.
664
665=item B<-client_sigalgs> I<val>
666
667Signature algorithms to support for client certificate authentication
668(colon-separated list).
669
670=item B<-named_curve> I<val>
671
672Specifies the elliptic curve to use. NOTE: this is single curve, not a list.
673
674The list of all supported groups includes named EC parameters as well as X25519
675and X448 or FFDHE groups, and may also include groups implemented in 3rd-party
676providers. For a list of named EC parameters, use:
677
678    $ openssl ecparam -list_curves
679
680=item B<-cipher> I<val>
681
682This allows the list of TLSv1.2 and below ciphersuites used by the server to be
683modified. This list is combined with any TLSv1.3 ciphersuites that have been
684configured. When the client sends a list of supported ciphers the first client
685cipher also included in the server list is used. Because the client specifies
686the preference order, the order of the server cipherlist is irrelevant. See
687L<openssl-ciphers(1)> for more information.
688
689=item B<-ciphersuites> I<val>
690
691This allows the list of TLSv1.3 ciphersuites used by the server to be modified.
692This list is combined with any TLSv1.2 and below ciphersuites that have been
693configured. When the client sends a list of supported ciphers the first client
694cipher also included in the server list is used. Because the client specifies
695the preference order, the order of the server cipherlist is irrelevant. See
696L<openssl-ciphers(1)> command for more information. The format for this list is
697a simple colon (":") separated list of TLSv1.3 ciphersuite names.
698
699=item B<-dhparam> I<infile>
700
701The DH parameter file to use. The ephemeral DH cipher suites generate keys
702using a set of DH parameters. If not specified then an attempt is made to
703load the parameters from the server certificate file.
704If this fails then a static set of parameters hard coded into this command
705will be used.
706
707=item B<-nbio>
708
709Turns on non blocking I/O.
710
711=item B<-timeout>
712
713Enable timeouts.
714
715=item B<-mtu>
716
717Set link-layer MTU.
718
719=item B<-psk_identity> I<val>
720
721Expect the client to send PSK identity I<val> when using a PSK
722cipher suite, and warn if they do not.  By default, the expected PSK
723identity is the string "Client_identity".
724
725=item B<-psk_hint> I<val>
726
727Use the PSK identity hint I<val> when using a PSK cipher suite.
728
729=item B<-psk> I<val>
730
731Use the PSK key I<val> when using a PSK cipher suite. The key is
732given as a hexadecimal number without leading 0x, for example -psk
7331a2b3c4d.
734This option must be provided in order to use a PSK cipher.
735
736=item B<-psk_session> I<file>
737
738Use the pem encoded SSL_SESSION data stored in I<file> as the basis of a PSK.
739Note that this will only work if TLSv1.3 is negotiated.
740
741=item B<-srpvfile>
742
743The verifier file for SRP.
744This option is deprecated.
745
746=item B<-srpuserseed>
747
748A seed string for a default user salt.
749This option is deprecated.
750
751=item B<-listen>
752
753This option can only be used in conjunction with one of the DTLS options above.
754With this option, this command will listen on a UDP port for incoming
755connections.
756Any ClientHellos that arrive will be checked to see if they have a cookie in
757them or not.
758Any without a cookie will be responded to with a HelloVerifyRequest.
759If a ClientHello with a cookie is received then this command will
760connect to that peer and complete the handshake.
761
762=item B<-sctp>
763
764Use SCTP for the transport protocol instead of UDP in DTLS. Must be used in
765conjunction with B<-dtls>, B<-dtls1> or B<-dtls1_2>. This option is only
766available where OpenSSL has support for SCTP enabled.
767
768=item B<-sctp_label_bug>
769
770Use the incorrect behaviour of older OpenSSL implementations when computing
771endpoint-pair shared secrets for DTLS/SCTP. This allows communication with
772older broken implementations but breaks interoperability with correct
773implementations. Must be used in conjunction with B<-sctp>. This option is only
774available where OpenSSL has support for SCTP enabled.
775
776=item B<-use_srtp>
777
778Offer SRTP key management with a colon-separated profile list.
779
780=item B<-no_dhe>
781
782If this option is set then no DH parameters will be loaded effectively
783disabling the ephemeral DH cipher suites.
784
785=item B<-alpn> I<val>, B<-nextprotoneg> I<val>
786
787These flags enable the Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation
788or Next Protocol Negotiation (NPN) extension, respectively. ALPN is the
789IETF standard and replaces NPN.
790The I<val> list is a comma-separated list of supported protocol
791names.  The list should contain the most desirable protocols first.
792Protocol names are printable ASCII strings, for example "http/1.1" or
793"spdy/3".
794The flag B<-nextprotoneg> cannot be specified if B<-tls1_3> is used.
795
796=item B<-ktls>
797
798Enable Kernel TLS for sending and receiving.
799This option was introduced in OpenSSL 3.2.0.
800Kernel TLS is off by default as of OpenSSL 3.2.0.
801
802=item B<-sendfile>
803
804If this option is set and KTLS is enabled, SSL_sendfile() will be used
805instead of BIO_write() to send the HTTP response requested by a client.
806This option is only valid when B<-ktls> along with B<-WWW> or B<-HTTP>
807are specified.
808
809=item B<-zerocopy_sendfile>
810
811If this option is set, SSL_sendfile() will use the zerocopy TX mode, which gives
812a performance boost when used with KTLS hardware offload. Note that invalid
813TLS records might be transmitted if the file is changed while being sent.
814This option depends on B<-sendfile>; when used alone, B<-sendfile> is implied,
815and a warning is shown. Note that KTLS sendfile on FreeBSD always runs in the
816zerocopy mode.
817
818=item B<-keylogfile> I<outfile>
819
820Appends TLS secrets to the specified keylog file such that external programs
821(like Wireshark) can decrypt TLS connections.
822
823=item B<-max_early_data> I<int>
824
825Change the default maximum early data bytes that are specified for new sessions
826and any incoming early data (when used in conjunction with the B<-early_data>
827flag). The default value is approximately 16k. The argument must be an integer
828greater than or equal to 0.
829
830=item B<-recv_max_early_data> I<int>
831
832Specify the hard limit on the maximum number of early data bytes that will
833be accepted.
834
835=item B<-early_data>
836
837Accept early data where possible. Cannot be used in conjunction with B<-www>,
838B<-WWW>, B<-HTTP> or B<-rev>.
839
840=item B<-stateless>
841
842Require TLSv1.3 cookies.
843
844=item B<-anti_replay>, B<-no_anti_replay>
845
846Switches replay protection on or off, respectively. Replay protection is on by
847default unless overridden by a configuration file. When it is on, OpenSSL will
848automatically detect if a session ticket has been used more than once, TLSv1.3
849has been negotiated, and early data is enabled on the server. A full handshake
850is forced if a session ticket is used a second or subsequent time. Any early
851data that was sent will be rejected.
852
853=item B<-tfo>
854
855Enable acceptance of TCP Fast Open (RFC7413) connections.
856
857=item B<-cert_comp>
858
859Pre-compresses certificates (RFC8879) that will be sent during the handshake.

878
879If the server requests a client certificate, then
880verification errors are displayed, for debugging, but the command will
881proceed unless the B<-verify_return_error> option is used.
882
883=item B<-enable_server_rpk>
884
885Enable support for sending raw public keys (RFC7250) to the client.
886A raw public key will be sent by the server, if solicited by the client,
887provided a suitable key and public certificate pair is configured.
888Clients that don't support raw public keys or prefer to use X.509
889certificates can still elect to receive X.509 certificates as usual.
890
891Raw public keys are extracted from the configured certificate/private key.
892
893=item B<-enable_client_rpk>
894
895Enable support for receiving raw public keys (RFC7250) from the client.
896Use of X.509 certificates by the client becomes optional, and clients that
897support raw public keys may elect to use them.
898Clients that don't support raw public keys or prefer to use X.509
899certificates can still elect to send X.509 certificates as usual.
900
901Raw public keys are extracted from the configured certificate/private key.

904
905=head1 CONNECTED COMMANDS
906
907If a connection request is established with an SSL client and neither the
908B<-www> nor the B<-WWW> option has been used then normally any data received
909from the client is displayed and any key presses will be sent to the client.
910
911Certain commands are also recognized which perform special operations. These
912commands are a letter which must appear at the start of a line. They are listed
913below.
914
915=over 4
916
917=item B<q>
918
919End the current SSL connection but still accept new connections.
920
921=item B<Q>
922
923End the current SSL connection and exit.
924
925=item B<r>
926
927Renegotiate the SSL session (TLSv1.2 and below only).
928
929=item B<R>
930
931Renegotiate the SSL session and request a client certificate (TLSv1.2 and below
932only).
933
934=item B<P>
935
936Send some plain text down the underlying TCP connection: this should
937cause the client to disconnect due to a protocol violation.
938
939=item B<S>
940
941Print out some session cache status information.
942
943=item B<k>
944
945Send a key update message to the client (TLSv1.3 only)
946
947=item B<K>
948
949Send a key update message to the client and request one back (TLSv1.3 only)
950
951=item B<c>
952
953Send a certificate request to the client (TLSv1.3 only)
954
955=back
956
957=head1 NOTES
958
959This command can be used to debug SSL clients. To accept connections
960from a web browser the command:
961
962 openssl s_server -accept 443 -www
963
964can be used for example.
965
966Although specifying an empty list of CAs when requesting a client certificate
967is strictly speaking a protocol violation, some SSL clients interpret this to
968mean any CA is acceptable. This is useful for debugging purposes.
969
970The session parameters can printed out using the L<openssl-sess_id(1)> command.
971
972=head1 BUGS
973
974Because this program has a lot of options and also because some of the
975techniques used are rather old, the C source for this command is rather
976hard to read and not a model of how things should be done.
977A typical SSL server program would be much simpler.
978
979The output of common ciphers is wrong: it just gives the list of ciphers that
980OpenSSL recognizes and the client supports.
981
982There should be a way for this command to print out details
983of any unknown cipher suites a client says it supports.
