  76. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  77. OpenSSL is a cryptography toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
  78. and Transport Layer Security (TLS) network protocols and related
  79. cryptography standards required by them.
  80. .PP
  81. The \fBopenssl\fR program is a command line program for using the various
  82. cryptography functions of OpenSSL's \fBcrypto\fR library from the shell.
  83. It can be used for

  95. .SH "COMMAND SUMMARY"
  96. .IX Header "COMMAND SUMMARY"
  97. The \fBopenssl\fR program provides a rich variety of commands (\fIcommand\fR in
  98. the "SYNOPSIS" above).
  99. Each command can have many options and argument parameters, shown above as
  100. \&\fIoptions\fR and \fIparameters\fR.
  101. .PP
  102. Detailed documentation and use cases for most standard subcommands are available
  103. (e.g., \fBopenssl\-x509\fR\|(1)). The subcommand \fBopenssl\-list\fR\|(1) may be used to list
  104. subcommands.
  105. .PP
  106. The command \fBno\-\fR\fIXXX\fR tests whether a command of the
  107. specified name is available. If no command named \fIXXX\fR exists, it
  108. returns 0 (success) and prints \fBno\-\fR\fIXXX\fR; otherwise it returns 1
  109. and prints \fIXXX\fR. In both cases, the output goes to \fBstdout\fR and
  110. nothing is printed to \fBstderr\fR. Additional command line arguments
  111. are always ignored. Since for each cipher there is a command of the
  112. same name, this provides an easy way for shell scripts to test for the
  113. availability of ciphers in the \fBopenssl\fR program. (\fBno\-\fR\fIXXX\fR is
  114. not able to detect pseudo-commands such as \fBquit\fR,
  115. \&\fBlist\fR, or \fBno\-\fR\fIXXX\fR itself.)
  116. .SS "Configuration Option"
  117. .IX Subsection "Configuration Option"
  118. Many commands use an external configuration file for some or all of their
  119. arguments and have a \fB\-config\fR option to specify that file.
  120. The default name of the file is \fIopenssl.cnf\fR in the default certificate
  121. storage area, which can be determined from the \fBopenssl\-version\fR\|(1)
  122. command using the \fB\-d\fR or \fB\-a\fR option.
  123. The environment variable \fBOPENSSL_CONF\fR can be used to specify a different
  124. file location or to disable loading a configuration (using the empty string).
  125. .PP
  126. Among others, the configuration file can be used to load modules
  127. and to specify parameters for generating certificates and random numbers.
  128. See \fBconfig\fR\|(5) for details.

  482. .SS "Random State Options"
  483. .IX Subsection "Random State Options"
  484. Prior to OpenSSL 1.1.1, it was common for applications to store information
  485. about the state of the random-number generator in a file that was loaded
  486. at startup and rewritten upon exit. On modern operating systems, this is
  487. generally no longer necessary as OpenSSL will seed itself from a trusted
  488. entropy source provided by the operating system. These flags are still
  489. supported for special platforms or circumstances that might require them.
  490. .PP
  491. It is generally an error to use the same seed file more than once and
  492. every use of \fB\-rand\fR should be paired with \fB\-writerand\fR.
  493. .IP "\fB\-rand\fR \fIfiles\fR" 4
  494. .IX Item "-rand files"
  495. A file or files containing random data used to seed the random number
  496. generator.
  497. Multiple files can be specified separated by an OS-dependent character.
  498. The separator is \f(CW\*(C`;\*(C'\fR for MS-Windows, \f(CW\*(C`,\*(C'\fR for OpenVMS, and \f(CW\*(C`:\*(C'\fR for
  499. all others. Another way to specify multiple files is to repeat this flag
  500. with different filenames.
  501. .IP "\fB\-writerand\fR \fIfile\fR" 4
  502. .IX Item "-writerand file"
  503. Writes the seed data to the specified \fIfile\fR upon exit.

  511. .SS "TLS Version Options"
  512. .IX Subsection "TLS Version Options"
  513. Several commands use SSL, TLS, or DTLS. By default, the commands use TLS and
  514. clients will offer the lowest and highest protocol version they support,
  515. and servers will pick the highest version that the client offers that is also
  516. supported by the server.
  517. .PP
  518. The options below can be used to limit which protocol versions are used,
  519. and whether TCP (SSL and TLS) or UDP (DTLS) is used.
  520. Note that not all protocols and flags may be available, depending on how
  521. OpenSSL was built.

  524. These options require or disable the use of the specified SSL or TLS protocols.
  525. When a specific TLS version is required, only that version will be offered or
  526. accepted.
  527. Only one specific protocol can be given and it cannot be combined with any of
  528. the \fBno_\fR options.
  529. The \fBno_*\fR options do not work with \fBs_time\fR and \fBciphers\fR commands but work with
  530. \&\fBs_client\fR and \fBs_server\fR commands.
  531. .IP "\fB\-dtls\fR, \fB\-dtls1\fR, \fB\-dtls1_2\fR" 4
  532. .IX Item "-dtls, -dtls1, -dtls1_2"
  533. These options specify to use DTLS instead of TLS.
  534. With \fB\-dtls\fR, clients will negotiate any supported DTLS protocol version.
  535. Use the \fB\-dtls1\fR or \fB\-dtls1_2\fR options to support only DTLS1.0 or DTLS1.2,
  536. respectively.
  537. .SS "Engine Options"
  538. .IX Subsection "Engine Options"
  539. .IP "\fB\-engine\fR \fIid\fR" 4
  540. .IX Item "-engine id"
  541. Load the engine identified by \fIid\fR and use all the methods it implements
  542. (algorithms, key storage, etc.), unless specified otherwise in the
  543. command-specific documentation or it is configured to do so, as described in
  544. "Engine Configuration" in \fBconfig\fR\|(5).
  545. .Sp
  546. The engine will be used for key ids specified with \fB\-key\fR and similar
  547. options when an option like \fB\-keyform engine\fR is given.
  548. .Sp
  549. A special case is the \f(CW\*(C`loader_attic\*(C'\fR engine, which
  550. is meant just for internal OpenSSL testing purposes and
  551. supports loading keys, parameters, certificates, and CRLs from files.
  552. When this engine is used, files with such credentials are read via this engine.
  553. Using the \f(CW\*(C`file:\*(C'\fR schema is optional; a plain file (path) name will do.
  554. .PP
  555. Options specifying keys, like \fB\-key\fR and similar, can use the generic
  556. OpenSSL engine key loading URI scheme \f(CW\*(C`org.openssl.engine:\*(C'\fR to retrieve
  557. private keys and public keys. The URI syntax is as follows, in simplified
  558. form:
  559. .PP
  560. .Vb 1
  561. \& org.openssl.engine:{engineid}:{keyid}
  562. .Ve
  563. .PP
  564. Where \f(CW\*(C`{engineid}\*(C'\fR is the identity/name of the engine, and \f(CW\*(C`{keyid}\*(C'\fR is a
  565. key identifier that's acceptable by that engine. For example, when using an
  566. engine that interfaces against a PKCS#11 implementation, the generic key URI
  567. would be something like this (this happens to be an example for the PKCS#11
  568. engine that's part of OpenSC):
  569. .PP
  570. .Vb 1
  571. \& \-key org.openssl.engine:pkcs11:label_some\-private\-key
  572. .Ve
  573. .PP
  574. As a third possibility, for engines and providers that have implemented
  575. their own \fBOSSL_STORE_LOADER\fR\|(3), \f(CW\*(C`org.openssl.engine:\*(C'\fR should not be
  576. necessary. For a PKCS#11 implementation that has implemented such a loader,
  577. the PKCS#11 URI as defined in RFC 7512 should be possible to use directly:
  578. .PP
  579. .Vb 1
  580. \& \-key pkcs11:object=some\-private\-key;pin\-value=1234
