.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This command implements a generic \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 client which
connects to a remote host using \s-1SSL/TLS.\s0 It is a \fIvery\fR useful diagnostic
tool for \s-1SSL\s0 servers.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
In addition to the options below, this command also supports the
common and client only options documented
in the \*(L"Supported Command Line Commands\*(R" section of the \fBSSL_CONF_cmd\fR\|(3)
manual page.
.IP "\fB\-help\fR" 4
.IX Item "-help"
Print out a usage message.
.IP "\fB\-ssl_config\fR \fIsection\fR" 4
.IX Item "-ssl_config section"
Use the specified section of the configuration file to configure the \fB\s-1SSL_CTX\s0\fR object.
.IP "\fB\-connect\fR \fIhost\fR:\fIport\fR" 4
.IX Item "-connect host:port"
This specifies the host and optional port to connect to. It is possible to
select the host and port using the optional target positional argument instead.
If neither this nor the target positional argument are specified then an attempt
is made to connect to the local host on port 4433.
.IP "\fB\-host\fR \fIhostname\fR" 4
.IX Item "-host hostname"
Host to connect to; use \fB\-connect\fR instead.
.IP "\fB\-port\fR \fIport\fR" 4
.IX Item "-port port"
Connect to the specified port; use \fB\-connect\fR instead.
.IP "\fB\-bind\fR \fIhost:port\fR" 4
.IX Item "-bind host:port"
This specifies the host address and or port to bind as the source for the
connection.  For Unix-domain sockets the port is ignored and the host is
used as the source socket address.
.IP "\fB\-proxy\fR \fIhost:port\fR" 4
.IX Item "-proxy host:port"
When used with the \fB\-connect\fR flag, the program uses the host and port
specified with this flag and issues an \s-1HTTP CONNECT\s0 command to connect
to the desired server.
.IP "\fB\-proxy_user\fR \fIuserid\fR" 4
.IX Item "-proxy_user userid"
When used with the \fB\-proxy\fR flag, the program will attempt to authenticate
with the specified proxy using basic (base64) authentication.
\&\s-1NB:\s0 Basic authentication is insecure; the credentials are sent to the proxy
in easily reversible base64 encoding before any \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 session is established.
Therefore, these credentials are easily recovered by anyone able to sniff/trace
the network. Use with caution.
.IP "\fB\-proxy_pass\fR \fIarg\fR" 4
.IX Item "-proxy_pass arg"
The proxy password source, used with the \fB\-proxy_user\fR flag.
For more information about the format of \fBarg\fR
see \fBopenssl\-passphrase\-options\fR\|(1).
.IP "\fB\-unix\fR \fIpath\fR" 4
.IX Item "-unix path"
Connect over the specified Unix-domain socket.
.IP "\fB\-4\fR" 4
.IX Item "-4"
Use IPv4 only.
.IP "\fB\-6\fR" 4
.IX Item "-6"
Use IPv6 only.
.IP "\fB\-quic\fR" 4
.IX Item "-quic"
Connect using the \s-1QUIC\s0 protocol. If specified then the \fB\-alpn\fR option must also
be provided.
.IP "\fB\-servername\fR \fIname\fR" 4
.IX Item "-servername name"
Set the \s-1TLS SNI\s0 (Server Name Indication) extension in the ClientHello message to
the given value.
If \fB\-servername\fR is not provided, the \s-1TLS SNI\s0 extension will be populated with
the name given to \fB\-connect\fR if it follows a \s-1DNS\s0 name format. If \fB\-connect\fR is
not provided either, the \s-1SNI\s0 is set to \*(L"localhost\*(R".
This is the default since OpenSSL 1.1.1.
.Sp
Even though \s-1SNI\s0 should normally be a \s-1DNS\s0 name and not an \s-1IP\s0 address, if
\&\fB\-servername\fR is provided then that name will be sent, regardless of whether
it is a \s-1DNS\s0 name or not.
.Sp
This option cannot be used in conjunction with \fB\-noservername\fR.
.IP "\fB\-noservername\fR" 4
.IX Item "-noservername"
Suppresses sending of the \s-1SNI\s0 (Server Name Indication) extension in the
ClientHello message. Cannot be used in conjunction with the \fB\-servername\fR or
\&\fB\-dane_tlsa_domain\fR options.
.IP "\fB\-cert\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-cert filename"
The client certificate to use, if one is requested by the server.
The default is not to use a certificate.
.Sp
The chain for the client certificate may be specified using \fB\-cert_chain\fR.
.IP "\fB\-certform\fR \fB\s-1DER\s0\fR|\fB\s-1PEM\s0\fR|\fBP12\fR" 4
.IX Item "-certform DER|PEM|P12"
The client certificate file format to use; unspecified by default.
See \fBopenssl\-format\-options\fR\|(1) for details.
.IP "\fB\-cert_chain\fR" 4
.IX Item "-cert_chain"
A file or \s-1URI\s0 of untrusted certificates to use when attempting to build the
certificate chain related to the certificate specified via the \fB\-cert\fR option.
The input can be in \s-1PEM, DER,\s0 or PKCS#12 format.
.IP "\fB\-build_chain\fR" 4
.IX Item "-build_chain"
Specify whether the application should build the client certificate chain to be
provided to the server.
.IP "\fB\-CRL\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-CRL filename"
\&\s-1CRL\s0 file to use to check the server's certificate.
.IP "\fB\-CRLform\fR \fB\s-1DER\s0\fR|\fB\s-1PEM\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "-CRLform DER|PEM"
The \s-1CRL\s0 file format; unspecified by default.
See \fBopenssl\-format\-options\fR\|(1) for details.
.IP "\fB\-crl_download\fR" 4
.IX Item "-crl_download"
Download \s-1CRL\s0 from distribution points in the certificate.
.IP "\fB\-key\fR \fIfilename\fR|\fIuri\fR" 4
.IX Item "-key filename|uri"
The client private key to use.
If not specified then the certificate file will be used to read also the key.
.IP "\fB\-keyform\fR \fB\s-1DER\s0\fR|\fB\s-1PEM\s0\fR|\fBP12\fR|\fB\s-1ENGINE\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "-keyform DER|PEM|P12|ENGINE"
The key format; unspecified by default.
See \fBopenssl\-format\-options\fR\|(1) for details.
.IP "\fB\-pass\fR \fIarg\fR" 4
.IX Item "-pass arg"
the private key and certificate file password source.
For more information about the format of \fIarg\fR
see \fBopenssl\-passphrase\-options\fR\|(1).
.IP "\fB\-verify\fR \fIdepth\fR" 4
.IX Item "-verify depth"
The verify depth to use. This specifies the maximum length of the
server certificate chain and turns on server certificate verification.
Currently the verify operation continues after errors so all the problems
with a certificate chain can be seen. As a side effect the connection
will never fail due to a server certificate verify failure.
.IP "\fB\-verify_return_error\fR" 4
.IX Item "-verify_return_error"
Return verification errors instead of continuing. This will typically
abort the handshake with a fatal error.
.IP "\fB\-verify_quiet\fR" 4
.IX Item "-verify_quiet"
Limit verify output to only errors.
.IP "\fB\-verifyCAfile\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-verifyCAfile filename"
A file in \s-1PEM\s0 format containing trusted certificates to use
for verifying the server's certificate.
.IP "\fB\-verifyCApath\fR \fIdir\fR" 4
.IX Item "-verifyCApath dir"
A directory containing trusted certificates to use
for verifying the server's certificate.
This directory must be in \*(L"hash format\*(R",
see \fBopenssl\-verify\fR\|(1) for more information.
.IP "\fB\-verifyCAstore\fR \fIuri\fR" 4
.IX Item "-verifyCAstore uri"
The \s-1URI\s0 of a store containing trusted certificates to use
for verifying the server's certificate.
.IP "\fB\-chainCAfile\fR \fIfile\fR" 4
.IX Item "-chainCAfile file"
A file in \s-1PEM\s0 format containing trusted certificates to use
when attempting to build the client certificate chain.
.IP "\fB\-chainCApath\fR \fIdirectory\fR" 4
.IX Item "-chainCApath directory"
A directory containing trusted certificates to use
for building the client certificate chain provided to the server.
This directory must be in \*(L"hash format\*(R",
see \fBopenssl\-verify\fR\|(1) for more information.
.IP "\fB\-chainCAstore\fR \fIuri\fR" 4
.IX Item "-chainCAstore uri"
The \s-1URI\s0 of a store containing trusted certificates to use
when attempting to build the client certificate chain.
The \s-1URI\s0 may indicate a single certificate, as well as a collection of them.
With URIs in the \f(CW\*(C`file:\*(C'\fR scheme, this acts as \fB\-chainCAfile\fR or
\&\fB\-chainCApath\fR, depending on if the \s-1URI\s0 indicates a directory or a
single file.
See \fBossl_store\-file\fR\|(7) for more information on the \f(CW\*(C`file:\*(C'\fR scheme.
.IP "\fB\-requestCAfile\fR \fIfile\fR" 4

.IP "\fB\-dane_tlsa_domain\fR \fIdomain\fR" 4
.IX Item "-dane_tlsa_domain domain"
Enable \s-1RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA\s0 authentication and specify the
\&\s-1TLSA\s0 base domain which becomes the default \s-1SNI\s0 hint and the primary
reference identifier for hostname checks.  This must be used in
combination with at least one instance of the \fB\-dane_tlsa_rrdata\fR
option below.
.Sp
When \s-1DANE\s0 authentication succeeds, the diagnostic output will include
the lowest (closest to 0) depth at which a \s-1TLSA\s0 record authenticated
a chain certificate.  When that \s-1TLSA\s0 record is a \*(L"2 1 0\*(R" trust
anchor public key that signed (rather than matched) the top-most
certificate of the chain, the result is reported as \*(L"\s-1TA\s0 public key
verified\*(R".  Otherwise, either the \s-1TLSA\s0 record \*(L"matched \s-1TA\s0 certificate\*(R"
at a positive depth or else \*(L"matched \s-1EE\s0 certificate\*(R" at depth 0.
.IP "\fB\-dane_tlsa_rrdata\fR \fIrrdata\fR" 4
.IX Item "-dane_tlsa_rrdata rrdata"
Use one or more times to specify the \s-1RRDATA\s0 fields of the \s-1DANE TLSA\s0
RRset associated with the target service.  The \fIrrdata\fR value is
specified in \*(L"presentation form\*(R", that is four whitespace separated
fields that specify the usage, selector, matching type and associated
data, with the last of these encoded in hexadecimal.  Optional
whitespace is ignored in the associated data field.  For example:

.IP "\fB\-dane_ee_no_namechecks\fR" 4
.IX Item "-dane_ee_no_namechecks"
This disables server name checks when authenticating via \s-1\fBDANE\-EE\s0\fR\|(3) \s-1TLSA\s0
records.
For some applications, primarily web browsers, it is not safe to disable name
checks due to \*(L"unknown key share\*(R" attacks, in which a malicious server can
convince a client that a connection to a victim server is instead a secure
connection to the malicious server.
The malicious server may then be able to violate cross-origin scripting
restrictions.
Thus, despite the text of \s-1RFC7671,\s0 name checks are by default enabled for
\&\s-1\fBDANE\-EE\s0\fR\|(3) \s-1TLSA\s0 records, and can be disabled in applications where it is safe
to do so.
In particular, \s-1SMTP\s0 and \s-1XMPP\s0 clients should set this option as \s-1SRV\s0 and \s-1MX\s0
records already make it possible for a remote domain to redirect client
connections to any server of its choice, and in any case \s-1SMTP\s0 and \s-1XMPP\s0 clients
do not execute scripts downloaded from remote servers.
.IP "\fB\-reconnect\fR" 4

Displays the server certificate list as sent by the server: it only consists of
certificates the server has sent (in the order the server has sent them). It is
\&\fBnot\fR a verified chain.
.IP "\fB\-prexit\fR" 4
.IX Item "-prexit"
Print session information when the program exits. This will always attempt
to print out information even if the connection fails. Normally information
will only be printed out once if the connection succeeds. This option is useful
because the cipher in use may be renegotiated or the connection may fail
because a client certificate is required or is requested only after an
attempt is made to access a certain \s-1URL.\s0 Note: the output produced by this
option is not always accurate because a connection might never have been
established.

further information).
.IP "\fB\-ignore_unexpected_eof\fR" 4
.IX Item "-ignore_unexpected_eof"
Some \s-1TLS\s0 implementations do not send the mandatory close_notify alert on
shutdown. If the application tries to wait for the close_notify alert but the
peer closes the connection without sending it, an error is generated. When this
option is enabled the peer does not need to send the close_notify alert and a
closed connection will be treated as if the close_notify alert was received.

Enables support for \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 compression.
This option was introduced in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
\&\s-1TLS\s0 compression is not recommended and is off by default as of
OpenSSL 1.1.0. \s-1TLS\s0 compression can only be used in security level 1 or
lower. From OpenSSL 3.2.0 and above the default security level is 2, so this
option will have no effect without also changing the security level. Use the
\&\fB\-cipher\fR option to change the security level. See \fBopenssl\-ciphers\fR\|(1) for
more information.
.IP "\fB\-no_comp\fR" 4

Verification errors are displayed, for debugging, but the command will
proceed unless the \fB\-verify_return_error\fR option is used.
.IP "\fB\-enable_server_rpk\fR" 4
.IX Item "-enable_server_rpk"
Enable support for receiving raw public keys (\s-1RFC7250\s0) from the server.
Use of X.509 certificates by the server becomes optional, and servers that
support raw public keys may elect to use them.
Servers that don't support raw public keys or prefer to use X.509
certificates can still elect to send X.509 certificates as usual.
.IP "\fB\-enable_client_rpk\fR" 4
.IX Item "-enable_client_rpk"
Enable support for sending raw public keys (\s-1RFC7250\s0) to the server.
A raw public key will be sent by the client, if solicited by the server,
provided a suitable key and public certificate pair is configured.
Some servers may nevertheless not request any client credentials,
or may request a certificate.
.IP "\fIhost\fR:\fIport\fR" 4
.IX Item "host:port"
Rather than providing \fB\-connect\fR, the target hostname and optional port may
be provided as a single positional argument after all options. If neither this
nor \fB\-connect\fR are provided, falls back to attempting to connect to
\&\fIlocalhost\fR on port \fI4433\fR.
.SH "CONNECTED COMMANDS (BASIC)"
.IX Header "CONNECTED COMMANDS (BASIC)"
If a connection is established with an \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 server then any data received
from the server is displayed and any key presses will be sent to the
server. If end of file is reached then the connection will be closed down.
.PP
When used interactively (which means neither \fB\-quiet\fR nor \fB\-ign_eof\fR have been
given), and neither of \fB\-adv\fR or \fB\-nocommands\fR are given then \*(L"Basic\*(R" command
mode is entered. In this mode certain commands are recognized which perform
special operations. These commands are a letter which must appear at the start
of a line. All further data after the initial letter on the line is ignored.
The commands are listed below.
.IP "\fBQ\fR" 4
.IX Item "Q"
End the current \s-1SSL\s0 connection and exit.
.IP "\fBR\fR" 4
.IX Item "R"
Renegotiate the \s-1SSL\s0 session (TLSv1.2 and below only).
.IP "\fBC\fR" 4
.IX Item "C"
Attempt to reconnect to the server using a resumption handshake.
.IP "\fBk\fR" 4
.IX Item "k"
Send a key update message to the server (TLSv1.3 only)
.IP "\fBK\fR" 4
.IX Item "K"
Send a key update message to the server and request one back (TLSv1.3 only)
.SH "CONNECTED COMMANDS (ADVANCED)"
.IX Header "CONNECTED COMMANDS (ADVANCED)"
If \fB\-adv\fR has been given then \*(L"advanced\*(R" command mode is entered. As with basic
mode, if a connection is established with an \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 server then any data
received from the server is displayed and any key presses will be sent to the
server. If end of file is reached then the connection will be closed down.
.PP
Special commands can be supplied by enclosing them in braces, e.g. \*(L"{help}\*(R" or
\&\*(L"{quit}\*(R". These commands can appear anywhere in the text entered into s_client,
but they are not sent to the server. Some commands can take an argument by
ending the command name with \*(L":\*(R" and then providing the argument, e.g.
\&\*(L"{keyup:req}\*(R". Some commands are only available when certain protocol versions
have been negotiated.
.PP
If a newline appears at the end of a line entered into s_client then this is
also sent to the server. If a command appears on a line on its own with no other
text on the same line, then the newline is suppressed and not sent to the
server.
.PP
The following commands are recognised.
.IP "\fBhelp\fR" 4
.IX Item "help"
Prints out summary help text about the available commands.
.IP "\fBquit\fR" 4
.IX Item "quit"
Close the connection to the peer
.IP "\fBreconnect\fR" 4
.IX Item "reconnect"
Reconnect to the peer and attempt a resumption handshake
.IP "\fBkeyup\fR" 4
.IX Item "keyup"
Send a Key Update message. TLSv1.3 only. This command takes an optional
argument. If the argument \*(L"req\*(R" is supplied then the peer is also requested to
update its keys. Otherwise if \*(L"noreq\*(R" is supplied the the peer is not requested
to update its keys. The default is \*(L"req\*(R".
.IP "\fBreneg\fR" 4
.IX Item "reneg"
Initiate a renegotiation with the server. (D)TLSv1.2 or below only.
.IP "\fBfin\fR" 4
.IX Item "fin"
Indicate \s-1FIN\s0 on the current stream. \s-1QUIC\s0 only. Once \s-1FIN\s0 has been sent any
further text entered for this stream is ignored.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
This command can be used to debug \s-1SSL\s0 servers. To connect to an \s-1SSL HTTP\s0
server the command:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& openssl s_client \-connect servername:443
.Ve
.PP
would typically be used (https uses port 443). If the connection succeeds
then an \s-1HTTP\s0 command can be given such as \*(L"\s-1GET /\*(R"\s0 to retrieve a web page.
.PP
If the handshake fails then there are several possible causes, if it is
nothing obvious like no client certificate then the \fB\-bugs\fR,
\&\fB\-ssl3\fR, \fB\-tls1\fR, \fB\-no_ssl3\fR, \fB\-no_tls1\fR options can be tried
in case it is a buggy server. In particular you should play with these
options \fBbefore\fR submitting a bug report to an OpenSSL mailing list.
.PP
A frequent problem when attempting to get client certificates working
is that a web client complains it has no certificates or gives an empty
list to choose from. This is normally because the server is not sending
the clients certificate authority in its \*(L"acceptable \s-1CA\s0 list\*(R" when it
requests a certificate. By using this command, the \s-1CA\s0 list can be viewed
and checked. However, some servers only request client authentication
after a specific \s-1URL\s0 is requested. To obtain the list in this case it
is necessary to use the \fB\-prexit\fR option and send an \s-1HTTP\s0 request
for an appropriate page.
.PP
If a certificate is specified on the command line using the \fB\-cert\fR
option it will not be used unless the server specifically requests
a client certificate. Therefore, merely including a client certificate
on the command line is no guarantee that the certificate works.
.PP
If there are problems verifying a server certificate then the
\&\fB\-showcerts\fR option can be used to show all the certificates sent by the
server.
.PP
This command is a test tool and is designed to continue the
handshake after any certificate verification errors. As a result it will
accept any certificate chain (trusted or not) sent by the peer. Non-test
applications should \fBnot\fR do this as it makes them vulnerable to a \s-1MITM\s0
attack. This behaviour can be changed by with the \fB\-verify_return_error\fR
option: any verify errors are then returned aborting the handshake.
.PP
The \fB\-bind\fR option may be useful if the server or a firewall requires
connections to come from some particular address and or port.
.SH "BUGS"
.IX Header "BUGS"
Because this program has a lot of options and also because some of the
techniques used are rather old, the C source for this command is rather
hard to read and not a model of how things should be done.
A typical \s-1SSL\s0 client program would be much simpler.
.PP
The \fB\-prexit\fR option is a bit of a hack. We should really report
information whenever a session is renegotiated.
