  175. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  176. This command implements a generic \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 client which
  177. connects to a remote host using \s-1SSL/TLS.\s0 It can request a page from the server
  178. and includes the time to transfer the payload data in its timing measurements.
  179. It measures the number of connections within a given timeframe, the amount of
  180. data transferred (if any), and calculates the average time spent for one
  181. connection.
  182. .SH "OPTIONS"
  183. .IX Header "OPTIONS"
  184. .IP "\fB\-help\fR" 4
  185. .IX Item "-help"
  186. Print out a usage message.
  187. .IP "\fB\-connect\fR \fIhost\fR:\fIport\fR" 4
  188. .IX Item "-connect host:port"
  189. This specifies the host and optional port to connect to.
  190. .IP "\fB\-www\fR \fIpage\fR" 4
  191. .IX Item "-www page"
  192. This specifies the page to \s-1GET\s0 from the server. A value of '/' gets the
  193. \&\fIindex.html\fR page. If this parameter is not specified, then this command
  194. will only perform the handshake to establish \s-1SSL\s0 connections but not transfer
  195. any payload data.
  196. .IP "\fB\-cert\fR \fIcertname\fR" 4
  197. .IX Item "-cert certname"
  198. The certificate to use, if one is requested by the server. The default is
  199. not to use a certificate. The file is in \s-1PEM\s0 format.
  200. .IP "\fB\-key\fR \fIkeyfile\fR" 4
  201. .IX Item "-key keyfile"
  202. The private key to use. If not specified then the certificate file will
  203. be used. The file is in \s-1PEM\s0 format.
  204. .IP "\fB\-verify\fR \fIdepth\fR" 4
  205. .IX Item "-verify depth"
  206. The verify depth to use. This specifies the maximum length of the
  207. server certificate chain and turns on server certificate verification.
  208. Currently the verify operation continues after errors so all the problems
  209. with a certificate chain can be seen. As a side effect the connection
  210. will never fail due to a server certificate verify failure.
  211. .IP "\fB\-new\fR" 4
  212. .IX Item "-new"
  213. Performs the timing test using a new session \s-1ID\s0 for each connection.
  214. If neither \fB\-new\fR nor \fB\-reuse\fR are specified, they are both on by default
  215. and executed in sequence.
  216. .IP "\fB\-reuse\fR" 4
  217. .IX Item "-reuse"
  218. Performs the timing test using the same session \s-1ID\s0; this can be used as a test
  219. that session caching is working. If neither \fB\-new\fR nor \fB\-reuse\fR are
  220. specified, they are both on by default and executed in sequence.
  221. .IP "\fB\-bugs\fR" 4
  222. .IX Item "-bugs"
  223. There are several known bugs in \s-1SSL\s0 and \s-1TLS\s0 implementations. Adding this
  224. option enables various workarounds.
  225. .IP "\fB\-cipher\fR \fIcipherlist\fR" 4
  226. .IX Item "-cipher cipherlist"
  227. This allows the TLSv1.2 and below cipher list sent by the client to be modified.
  228. This list will be combined with any TLSv1.3 ciphersuites that have been
  229. configured. Although the server determines which cipher suite is used it should
  230. take the first supported cipher in the list sent by the client. See
  231. \&\fBopenssl\-ciphers\fR\|(1) for more information.
  232. .IP "\fB\-ciphersuites\fR \fIval\fR" 4
  233. .IX Item "-ciphersuites val"
  234. This allows the TLSv1.3 ciphersuites sent by the client to be modified. This
  235. list will be combined with any TLSv1.2 and below ciphersuites that have been
  236. configured. Although the server determines which cipher suite is used it should
  237. take the first supported cipher in the list sent by the client. See
  238. \&\fBopenssl\-ciphers\fR\|(1) for more information. The format for this list is a
  239. simple colon (\*(L":\*(R") separated list of TLSv1.3 ciphersuite names.
  240. .IP "\fB\-time\fR \fIlength\fR" 4
  241. .IX Item "-time length"
  242. Specifies how long (in seconds) this command should establish connections
  243. and optionally transfer payload data from a server. Server and client
  244. performance and the link speed determine how many connections it
  245. can establish.
  246. .IP "\fB\-nameopt\fR \fIoption\fR" 4
  247. .IX Item "-nameopt option"
  248. This specifies how the subject or issuer names are displayed.
  249. See \fBopenssl\-namedisplay\-options\fR\|(1) for details.

  268. .SH "NOTES"

  270. This command can be used to measure the performance of an \s-1SSL\s0 connection.
  271. To connect to an \s-1SSL HTTP\s0 server and get the default page the command
  272. .PP
  273. .Vb 1

  275. .Ve
  276. .PP
  277. would typically be used (https uses port 443). \fIcommoncipher\fR is a cipher to
  278. which both client and server can agree, see the \fBopenssl\-ciphers\fR\|(1) command
  279. for details.
  280. .PP
  281. If the handshake fails then there are several possible causes, if it is
  282. nothing obvious like no client certificate then the \fB\-bugs\fR and
  283. \&\fB\-ssl3\fR options can be tried
  284. in case it is a buggy server. In particular you should play with these
  285. options \fBbefore\fR submitting a bug report to an OpenSSL mailing list.
  286. .PP
  287. A frequent problem when attempting to get client certificates working
  288. is that a web client complains it has no certificates or gives an empty
  289. list to choose from. This is normally because the server is not sending
  290. the clients certificate authority in its \*(L"acceptable \s-1CA\s0 list\*(R" when it
  291. requests a certificate. By using \fBopenssl\-s_client\fR\|(1) the \s-1CA\s0 list can be
  292. viewed and checked. However, some servers only request client authentication
  293. after a specific \s-1URL\s0 is requested. To obtain the list in this case it
  294. is necessary to use the \fB\-prexit\fR option of \fBopenssl\-s_client\fR\|(1) and
  295. send an \s-1HTTP\s0 request for an appropriate page.
  296. .PP
  297. If a certificate is specified on the command line using the \fB\-cert\fR
  298. option it will not be used unless the server specifically requests
  299. a client certificate. Therefore, merely including a client certificate
  300. on the command line is no guarantee that the certificate works.
  301. .SH "BUGS"
  302. .IX Header "BUGS"
  303. Because this program does not have all the options of the
  304. \&\fBopenssl\-s_client\fR\|(1) program to turn protocols on and off, you may not
  305. be able to measure the performance of all protocols with all servers.
  306. .PP
  307. The \fB\-verify\fR option should really exit if the server verification
  308. fails.
  309. .SH "HISTORY"
  310. .IX Header "HISTORY"
  311. The \fB\-cafile\fR option was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
