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>
327
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.
415The B<-early_data> option cannot be used with this option.
416
417=item B<-WWW>, B<-HTTP>
418
419Emulates a simple web server. Pages will be resolved relative to the
420current directory, for example if the URL C<https://myhost/page.html> is
421requested the file F<./page.html> will be sent.
422If the B<-HTTP> flag is used, the files are sent directly, and should contain
423any HTTP response headers (including status response line).
424If the B<-WWW> option is used,
425the response headers are generated by the server, and the file extension is
426examined to determine the B<Content-Type> header.
427Extensions of C<html>, C<htm>, and C<php> are C<text/html> and all others are
428C<text/plain>.
429In addition, the special URL C</stats> will return status
430information like the B<-www> option.
431Neither of these options can be used in conjunction with B<-early_data>.
432
433=item B<-http_server_binmode>
434
435When acting as web-server (using option B<-WWW> or B<-HTTP>) open files requested
436by the client in binary mode.
437
438=item B<-no_ca_names>
439
440Disable TLS Extension CA Names. You may want to disable it for security reasons
441or for compatibility with some Windows TLS implementations crashing when this
442extension is larger than 1024 bytes.
443
444=item B<-ignore_unexpected_eof>
445
446Some TLS implementations do not send the mandatory close_notify alert on
447shutdown. If the application tries to wait for the close_notify alert but the
448peer closes the connection without sending it, an error is generated. When this
449option is enabled the peer does not need to send the close_notify alert and a
450closed connection will be treated as if the close_notify alert was received.
451For more information on shutting down a connection, see L<SSL_shutdown(3)>.
452
453=item B<-servername>
454
455Servername for HostName TLS extension.
456
457=item B<-servername_fatal>
458
459On servername mismatch send fatal alert (default: warning alert).
460
461=item B<-id_prefix> I<val>
462
463Generate SSL/TLS session IDs prefixed by I<val>. This is mostly useful
464for testing any SSL/TLS code (e.g. proxies) that wish to deal with multiple
465servers, when each of which might be generating a unique range of session
466IDs (e.g. with a certain prefix).
467
468=item B<-keymatexport>
469
470Export keying material using label.
471
472=item B<-keymatexportlen>
473
474Export the given number of bytes of keying material; default 20.
475
476=item B<-no_cache>
477
478Disable session cache.
479
480=item B<-ext_cache>.
481
482Disable internal cache, set up and use external cache.
483
484=item B<-verify_return_error>
485
486Verification errors normally just print a message but allow the
487connection to continue, for debugging purposes.
488If this option is used, then verification errors close the connection.
489
490=item B<-verify_quiet>
491
492No verify output except verify errors.
493
494=item B<-ign_eof>
495
496Ignore input EOF (default: when B<-quiet>).
497
498=item B<-no_ign_eof>
499
500Do not ignore input EOF.
501
502=item B<-no_etm>
503
504Disable Encrypt-then-MAC negotiation.
505
506=item B<-no_ems>
507
508Disable Extended master secret negotiation.
509
510=item B<-status>
511
512Enables certificate status request support (aka OCSP stapling).
513
514=item B<-status_verbose>
515
516Enables certificate status request support (aka OCSP stapling) and gives
517a verbose printout of the OCSP response.
518Use the B<-cert_chain> option to specify the certificate of the server's
519certificate signer that is required for certificate status requests.
520
521=item B<-status_timeout> I<int>
522
523Sets the timeout for OCSP response to I<int> seconds.
524
525=item B<-proxy> I<[http[s]://][userinfo@]host[:port][/path]>
526
527The HTTP(S) proxy server to use for reaching the OCSP server unless B<-no_proxy>
528applies, see below.
529The proxy port defaults to 80 or 443 if the scheme is C<https>; apart from that
530the optional C<http://> or C<https://> prefix is ignored,
531as well as any userinfo and path components.
532Defaults to the environment variable C<http_proxy> if set, else C<HTTP_PROXY>
533in case no TLS is used, otherwise C<https_proxy> if set, else C<HTTPS_PROXY>.
534
535=item B<-no_proxy> I<addresses>
536
537List of IP addresses and/or DNS names of servers
538not to use an HTTP(S) proxy for, separated by commas and/or whitespace
539(where in the latter case the whole argument must be enclosed in "...").
540Default is from the environment variable C<no_proxy> if set, else C<NO_PROXY>.
541
542=item B<-status_url> I<val>
543
544Sets a fallback responder URL to use if no responder URL is present in the
545server certificate. Without this option an error is returned if the server
546certificate does not contain a responder address.
547The optional userinfo and fragment URL components are ignored.
548Any given query component is handled as part of the path component.
549
550=item B<-status_file> I<infile>
551
552Overrides any OCSP responder URLs from the certificate and always provides the
553OCSP Response stored in the file. The file must be in DER format.
554
555=item B<-ssl_config> I<val>
556
557Configure SSL_CTX using the given configuration value.
558
559=item B<-trace>
560
561Show verbose trace output of protocol messages.
562
563=item B<-brief>
564
565Provide a brief summary of connection parameters instead of the normal verbose
566output.
567
568=item B<-rev>
569
570Simple echo server that sends back received text reversed. Also sets B<-brief>.
571Cannot be used in conjunction with B<-early_data>.
572
573=item B<-async>
574
575Switch on asynchronous mode. Cryptographic operations will be performed
576asynchronously. This will only have an effect if an asynchronous capable engine
577is also used via the B<-engine> option. For test purposes the dummy async engine
578(dasync) can be used (if available).
579
580=item B<-max_send_frag> I<+int>
581
582The maximum size of data fragment to send.
583See L<SSL_CTX_set_max_send_fragment(3)> for further information.
584
585=item B<-split_send_frag> I<+int>
586
587The size used to split data for encrypt pipelines. If more data is written in
588one go than this value then it will be split into multiple pipelines, up to the
589maximum number of pipelines defined by max_pipelines. This only has an effect if
590a suitable cipher suite has been negotiated, an engine that supports pipelining
591has been loaded, and max_pipelines is greater than 1. See
592L<SSL_CTX_set_split_send_fragment(3)> for further information.
593
594=item B<-max_pipelines> I<+int>
595
596The maximum number of encrypt/decrypt pipelines to be used. This will only have
597an effect if an engine has been loaded that supports pipelining (e.g. the dasync
598engine) and a suitable cipher suite has been negotiated. The default value is 1.
599See L<SSL_CTX_set_max_pipelines(3)> for further information.
600
601=item B<-naccept> I<+int>
602
603The server will exit after receiving the specified number of connections,
604default unlimited.
605
606=item B<-read_buf> I<+int>
607
608The default read buffer size to be used for connections. This will only have an
609effect if the buffer size is larger than the size that would otherwise be used
610and pipelining is in use (see L<SSL_CTX_set_default_read_buffer_len(3)> for
611further information).
612
613=item B<-bugs>
614
615There are several known bugs in SSL and TLS implementations. Adding this
616option enables various workarounds.
617
618=item B<-no_tx_cert_comp>
619
620Disables support for sending TLSv1.3 compressed certificates.
621
622=item B<-no_rx_cert_comp>
623
624Disables support for receiving TLSv1.3 compressed certificates.
625
626=item B<-no_comp>
627
628Disable negotiation of TLS compression.
629TLS compression is not recommended and is off by default as of
630OpenSSL 1.1.0.
631
632=item B<-comp>
633
634Enables support for SSL/TLS compression.
635This option was introduced in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
636TLS compression is not recommended and is off by default as of
637OpenSSL 1.1.0. TLS compression can only be used in security level 1 or
638lower. From OpenSSL 3.2.0 and above the default security level is 2, so this
639option will have no effect without also changing the security level. Use the
640B<-cipher> option to change the security level. See L<openssl-ciphers(1)> for
641more information.
642
643=item B<-no_ticket>
644
645Disable RFC4507bis session ticket support. This option has no effect if TLSv1.3
646is negotiated. See B<-num_tickets>.
647
648=item B<-num_tickets>
649
650Control the number of tickets that will be sent to the client after a full
651handshake in TLSv1.3. The default number of tickets is 2. This option does not
652affect the number of tickets sent after a resumption handshake.
653
654=item B<-serverpref>
655
656Use the server's cipher preferences, rather than the client's preferences.
657
658=item B<-prioritize_chacha>
659
660Prioritize ChaCha ciphers when preferred by clients. Requires B<-serverpref>.
661
662=item B<-no_resumption_on_reneg>
663
664Set the B<SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION> option.
665
666=item B<-client_sigalgs> I<val>
667
668Signature algorithms to support for client certificate authentication
669(colon-separated list).
670
671=item B<-named_curve> I<val>
672
673Specifies the elliptic curve to use. NOTE: this is single curve, not a list.
674For a list of all possible curves, use:
675
676    $ openssl ecparam -list_curves
677
678=item B<-cipher> I<val>
679
680This allows the list of TLSv1.2 and below ciphersuites used by the server to be
681modified. This list is combined with any TLSv1.3 ciphersuites that have been
682configured. When the client sends a list of supported ciphers the first client
683cipher also included in the server list is used. Because the client specifies
684the preference order, the order of the server cipherlist is irrelevant. See
685L<openssl-ciphers(1)> for more information.
686
687=item B<-ciphersuites> I<val>
688
689This allows the list of TLSv1.3 ciphersuites used by the server to be modified.
690This list is combined with any TLSv1.2 and below ciphersuites that have been
691configured. When the client sends a list of supported ciphers the first client
692cipher also included in the server list is used. Because the client specifies
693the preference order, the order of the server cipherlist is irrelevant. See
694L<openssl-ciphers(1)> command for more information. The format for this list is
695a simple colon (":") separated list of TLSv1.3 ciphersuite names.
696
697=item B<-dhparam> I<infile>
698
699The DH parameter file to use. The ephemeral DH cipher suites generate keys
700using a set of DH parameters. If not specified then an attempt is made to
701load the parameters from the server certificate file.
702If this fails then a static set of parameters hard coded into this command
703will be used.
704
705=item B<-nbio>
706
707Turns on non blocking I/O.
708
709=item B<-timeout>
710
711Enable timeouts.
712
713=item B<-mtu>
714
715Set link-layer MTU.
716
717=item B<-psk_identity> I<val>
718
719Expect the client to send PSK identity I<val> when using a PSK
720cipher suite, and warn if they do not.  By default, the expected PSK
721identity is the string "Client_identity".
722
723=item B<-psk_hint> I<val>
724
725Use the PSK identity hint I<val> when using a PSK cipher suite.
726
727=item B<-psk> I<val>
728
729Use the PSK key I<val> when using a PSK cipher suite. The key is
730given as a hexadecimal number without leading 0x, for example -psk
7311a2b3c4d.
732This option must be provided in order to use a PSK cipher.
733
734=item B<-psk_session> I<file>
735
736Use the pem encoded SSL_SESSION data stored in I<file> as the basis of a PSK.
737Note that this will only work if TLSv1.3 is negotiated.
738
739=item B<-srpvfile>
740
741The verifier file for SRP.
742This option is deprecated.
743
744=item B<-srpuserseed>
745
746A seed string for a default user salt.
747This option is deprecated.
748
749=item B<-listen>
750
751This option can only be used in conjunction with one of the DTLS options above.
752With this option, this command will listen on a UDP port for incoming
753connections.
754Any ClientHellos that arrive will be checked to see if they have a cookie in
755them or not.
756Any without a cookie will be responded to with a HelloVerifyRequest.
757If a ClientHello with a cookie is received then this command will
758connect to that peer and complete the handshake.
759
760=item B<-sctp>
761
762Use SCTP for the transport protocol instead of UDP in DTLS. Must be used in
763conjunction with B<-dtls>, B<-dtls1> or B<-dtls1_2>. This option is only
764available where OpenSSL has support for SCTP enabled.
765
766=item B<-sctp_label_bug>
767
768Use the incorrect behaviour of older OpenSSL implementations when computing
769endpoint-pair shared secrets for DTLS/SCTP. This allows communication with
770older broken implementations but breaks interoperability with correct
771implementations. Must be used in conjunction with B<-sctp>. This option is only
772available where OpenSSL has support for SCTP enabled.
773
774=item B<-use_srtp>
775
776Offer SRTP key management with a colon-separated profile list.
777
778=item B<-no_dhe>
779
780If this option is set then no DH parameters will be loaded effectively
781disabling the ephemeral DH cipher suites.
782
783=item B<-alpn> I<val>, B<-nextprotoneg> I<val>
784
785These flags enable the Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation
786or Next Protocol Negotiation (NPN) extension, respectively. ALPN is the
787IETF standard and replaces NPN.
788The I<val> list is a comma-separated list of supported protocol
789names.  The list should contain the most desirable protocols first.
790Protocol names are printable ASCII strings, for example "http/1.1" or
791"spdy/3".
792The flag B<-nextprotoneg> cannot be specified if B<-tls1_3> is used.
793
794=item B<-ktls>
795
796Enable Kernel TLS for sending and receiving.
797This option was introduced in OpenSSL 3.2.0.
798Kernel TLS is off by default as of OpenSSL 3.2.0.
799
800=item B<-sendfile>
801
802If this option is set and KTLS is enabled, SSL_sendfile() will be used
803instead of BIO_write() to send the HTTP response requested by a client.
804This option is only valid when B<-ktls> along with B<-WWW> or B<-HTTP>
805are specified.
806
807=item B<-zerocopy_sendfile>
808
809If this option is set, SSL_sendfile() will use the zerocopy TX mode, which gives
810a performance boost when used with KTLS hardware offload. Note that invalid
811TLS records might be transmitted if the file is changed while being sent.
812This option depends on B<-sendfile>; when used alone, B<-sendfile> is implied,
813and a warning is shown. Note that KTLS sendfile on FreeBSD always runs in the
814zerocopy mode.
815
816=item B<-keylogfile> I<outfile>
817
818Appends TLS secrets to the specified keylog file such that external programs
819(like Wireshark) can decrypt TLS connections.
820
821=item B<-max_early_data> I<int>
822
823Change the default maximum early data bytes that are specified for new sessions
824and any incoming early data (when used in conjunction with the B<-early_data>
825flag). The default value is approximately 16k. The argument must be an integer
826greater than or equal to 0.
827
828=item B<-recv_max_early_data> I<int>
829
830Specify the hard limit on the maximum number of early data bytes that will
831be accepted.
832
833=item B<-early_data>
834
835Accept early data where possible. Cannot be used in conjunction with B<-www>,
836B<-WWW>, B<-HTTP> or B<-rev>.
837
838=item B<-stateless>
839
840Require TLSv1.3 cookies.
841
842=item B<-anti_replay>, B<-no_anti_replay>
843
844Switches replay protection on or off, respectively. Replay protection is on by
845default unless overridden by a configuration file. When it is on, OpenSSL will
846automatically detect if a session ticket has been used more than once, TLSv1.3
847has been negotiated, and early data is enabled on the server. A full handshake
848is forced if a session ticket is used a second or subsequent time. Any early
849data that was sent will be rejected.
850
851=item B<-tfo>
852
853Enable acceptance of TCP Fast Open (RFC7413) connections.
854
855=item B<-cert_comp>
856
857Pre-compresses certificates (RFC8879) that will be sent during the handshake.

876
877If the server requests a client certificate, then
878verification errors are displayed, for debugging, but the command will
879proceed unless the B<-verify_return_error> option is used.
880
881=item B<-enable_server_rpk>
882
883Enable support for sending raw public keys (RFC7250) to the client.
884A raw public key will be sent by the server, if solicited by the client,
885provided a suitable key and public certificate pair is configured.
886Clients that don't support raw public keys or prefer to use X.509
887certificates can still elect to receive X.509 certificates as usual.
888
889Raw public keys are extracted from the configured certificate/private key.
890
891=item B<-enable_client_rpk>
892
893Enable support for receiving raw public keys (RFC7250) from the client.
894Use of X.509 certificates by the client becomes optional, and clients that
895support raw public keys may elect to use them.
896Clients that don't support raw public keys or prefer to use X.509
897certificates can still elect to send X.509 certificates as usual.
898
899Raw public keys are extracted from the configured certificate/private key.

902
903=head1 CONNECTED COMMANDS
904
905If a connection request is established with an SSL client and neither the
906B<-www> nor the B<-WWW> option has been used then normally any data received
907from the client is displayed and any key presses will be sent to the client.
908
909Certain commands are also recognized which perform special operations. These
910commands are a letter which must appear at the start of a line. They are listed
911below.
912
913=over 4
914
915=item B<q>
916
917End the current SSL connection but still accept new connections.
918
919=item B<Q>
920
921End the current SSL connection and exit.
922
923=item B<r>
924
925Renegotiate the SSL session (TLSv1.2 and below only).
926
927=item B<R>
928
929Renegotiate the SSL session and request a client certificate (TLSv1.2 and below
930only).
931
932=item B<P>
933
934Send some plain text down the underlying TCP connection: this should
935cause the client to disconnect due to a protocol violation.
936
937=item B<S>
938
939Print out some session cache status information.
940
941=item B<k>
942
943Send a key update message to the client (TLSv1.3 only)
944
945=item B<K>
946
947Send a key update message to the client and request one back (TLSv1.3 only)
948
949=item B<c>
950
951Send a certificate request to the client (TLSv1.3 only)
952
953=back
954
955=head1 NOTES
956
957This command can be used to debug SSL clients. To accept connections
958from a web browser the command:
959
960 openssl s_server -accept 443 -www
961
962can be used for example.
963
964Although specifying an empty list of CAs when requesting a client certificate
965is strictly speaking a protocol violation, some SSL clients interpret this to
966mean any CA is acceptable. This is useful for debugging purposes.
967
968The session parameters can printed out using the L<openssl-sess_id(1)> command.
969
970=head1 BUGS
971
972Because this program has a lot of options and also because some of the
973techniques used are rather old, the C source for this command is rather
974hard to read and not a model of how things should be done.
975A typical SSL server program would be much simpler.
976
977The output of common ciphers is wrong: it just gives the list of ciphers that
978OpenSSL recognizes and the client supports.
979
980There should be a way for this command to print out details
981of any unknown cipher suites a client says it supports.
