DESCRIPTION
This command implements a generic SSL/TLS server which listens for
connections on a given port using SSL/TLS.
OPTIONS
In addition to the options below, this command also supports the common
and server only options documented "Supported Command Line Commands" in
SSL_CONF_cmd(3)
-help
Print out a usage message.
-port +int
The TCP port to listen on for connections. If not specified 4433 is
used.
-accept val
The optional TCP host and port to listen on for connections. If not
specified, *:4433 is used.
-unix val
Unix domain socket to accept on.
-4 Use IPv4 only.
-6 Use IPv6 only.
-unlink
For -unix, unlink any existing socket first.
-context val
Sets the SSL context id. It can be given any string value. If this
option is not present a default value will be used.
-verify int, -Verify int
The verify depth to use. This specifies the maximum length of the
client certificate chain and makes the server request a certificate
from the client. With the -verify option a certificate is requested
but the client does not have to send one, with the -Verify option
the client must supply a certificate or an error occurs.
If the cipher suite cannot request a client certificate (for
example an anonymous cipher suite or PSK) this option has no
effect.
-cert infile
The certificate to use, most servers cipher suites require the use
of a certificate and some require a certificate with a certain
public key type: for example the DSS cipher suites require a
certificate containing a DSS (DSA) key. If not specified then the
filename server.pem will be used.
-cert2 infile
The certificate file to use for servername; default is
"server2.pem".
-certform DER|PEM|P12
The server certificate file format; unspecified by default. See
openssl-format-options(1) for details.
-cert_chain
A file or URI of untrusted certificates to use when attempting to
build the certificate chain related to the certificate specified
via the -cert option. The input can be in PEM, DER, or PKCS#12
format.
-build_chain
Specify whether the application should build the server certificate
chain to be provided to the client.
-serverinfo val
A file containing one or more blocks of PEM data. Each PEM block
must encode a TLS ServerHello extension (2 bytes type, 2 bytes
length, followed by "length" bytes of extension data). If the
client sends an empty TLS ClientHello extension matching the type,
the corresponding ServerHello extension will be returned.
-key filename|uri
The private key to use. If not specified then the certificate file
will be used.
-key2 filename|uri
The private Key file to use for servername if not given via -cert2.
-keyform DER|PEM|P12|ENGINE
The key format; unspecified by default. See
openssl-format-options(1) for details.
-pass val
The private key and certificate file password source. For more
information about the format of val, see
openssl-passphrase-options(1).
-dcert infile, -dkey filename|uri
Specify an additional certificate and private key, these behave in
the same manner as the -cert and -key options except there is no
default if they are not specified (no additional certificate and
key is used). As noted above some cipher suites require a
certificate containing a key of a certain type. Some cipher suites
need a certificate carrying an RSA key and some a DSS (DSA) key. By
using RSA and DSS certificates and keys a server can support
clients which only support RSA or DSS cipher suites by using an
appropriate certificate.
-dcert_chain
A file or URI of untrusted certificates to use when attempting to
build the server certificate chain when a certificate specified via
the -dcert option is in use. The input can be in PEM, DER, or
PKCS#12 format.
-dcertform DER|PEM|P12
The format of the additional certificate file; unspecified by
default. See openssl-format-options(1) for details.
-dkeyform DER|PEM|P12|ENGINE
The format of the additional private key; unspecified by default.
See openssl-format-options(1) for details.
-dpass val
The passphrase for the additional private key and certificate. For
more information about the format of val, see
openssl-passphrase-options(1).
-nbio_test
Tests non blocking I/O.
-crlf
This option translated a line feed from the terminal into CR+LF.
-debug
Print extensive debugging information including a hex dump of all
traffic.
-security_debug
Print output from SSL/TLS security framework.
-security_debug_verbose
Print more output from SSL/TLS security framework
-msg
Show all protocol messages with hex dump.
-msgfile outfile
File to send output of -msg or -trace to, default standard output.
-state
Prints the SSL session states.
-CRL infile
The CRL file to use.
-CRLform DER|PEM
The CRL file format; unspecified by default. See
openssl-format-options(1) for details.
-crl_download
Download CRLs from distribution points given in CDP extensions of
certificates
-verifyCAfile filename
A file in PEM format CA containing trusted certificates to use for
verifying client certificates.
-verifyCApath dir
A directory containing trusted certificates to use for verifying
client certificates. This directory must be in "hash format", see
openssl-verify(1) for more information.
-verifyCAstore uri
The URI of a store containing trusted certificates to use for
verifying client certificates.
-chainCAfile file
A file in PEM format containing trusted certificates to use when
attempting to build the server certificate chain.
-chainCApath dir
A directory containing trusted certificates to use for building the
server certificate chain provided to the client. This directory
must be in "hash format", see openssl-verify(1) for more
information.
-chainCAstore uri
The URI of a store containing trusted certificates to use for
building the server certificate chain provided to the client. The
URI may indicate a single certificate, as well as a collection of
them. With URIs in the "file:" scheme, this acts as -chainCAfile
or -chainCApath, depending on if the URI indicates a directory or a
single file. See ossl_store-file(7) for more information on the
"file:" scheme.
-nocert
If this option is set then no certificate is used. This restricts
the cipher suites available to the anonymous ones (currently just
anonymous DH).
-quiet
Inhibit printing of session and certificate information.
-no_resume_ephemeral
Disable caching and tickets if ephemeral (EC)DH is used.
-tlsextdebug
Print a hex dump of any TLS extensions received from the server.
-www
Sends a status message back to the client when it connects. This
includes information about the ciphers used and various session
parameters. The output is in HTML format so this option can be
used with a web browser. The special URL "/renegcert" turns on
client cert validation, and "/reneg" tells the server to request
renegotiation. The -early_data option cannot be used with this
option.
-WWW, -HTTP
Emulates a simple web server. Pages will be resolved relative to
the current directory, for example if the URL
"https://myhost/page.html" is requested the file ./page.html will
be sent. If the -HTTP flag is used, the files are sent directly,
and should contain any HTTP response headers (including status
response line). If the -WWW option is used, the response headers
are generated by the server, and the file extension is examined to
determine the Content-Type header. Extensions of "html", "htm",
and "php" are "text/html" and all others are "text/plain". In
addition, the special URL "/stats" will return status information
like the -www option. Neither of these options can be used in
conjunction with -early_data.
-http_server_binmode
When acting as web-server (using option -WWW or -HTTP) open files
requested by the client in binary mode.
-no_ca_names
Disable TLS Extension CA Names. You may want to disable it for
security reasons or for compatibility with some Windows TLS
implementations crashing when this extension is larger than 1024
bytes.
-ignore_unexpected_eof
Some TLS 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. For more information on shutting down a connection, see
SSL_shutdown(3).
-servername
Servername for HostName TLS extension.
-servername_fatal
On servername mismatch send fatal alert (default: warning alert).
-id_prefix val
Generate SSL/TLS session IDs prefixed by val. This is mostly useful
for testing any SSL/TLS code (e.g. proxies) that wish to deal with
multiple servers, when each of which might be generating a unique
range of session IDs (e.g. with a certain prefix).
-keymatexport
Export keying material using label.
-keymatexportlen
Export the given number of bytes of keying material; default 20.
-no_cache
Disable session cache.
-ext_cache.
Disable internal cache, set up and use external cache.
-verify_return_error
Verification errors normally just print a message but allow the
connection to continue, for debugging purposes. If this option is
used, then verification errors close the connection.
-verify_quiet
No verify output except verify errors.
-ign_eof
Ignore input EOF (default: when -quiet).
-no_ign_eof
Do not ignore input EOF.
-no_etm
Disable Encrypt-then-MAC negotiation.
-status
Enables certificate status request support (aka OCSP stapling).
-status_verbose
Enables certificate status request support (aka OCSP stapling) and
gives a verbose printout of the OCSP response.
-status_timeout int
Sets the timeout for OCSP response to int seconds.
-proxy [http[s]://][userinfo@]host[:port][/path]
The HTTP(S) proxy server to use for reaching the OCSP server unless
-no_proxy applies, see below. The proxy port defaults to 80 or 443
if the scheme is "https"; apart from that the optional "http://" or
"https://" prefix is ignored, as well as any userinfo and path
components. Defaults to the environment variable "http_proxy" if
set, else "HTTP_PROXY" in case no TLS is used, otherwise
"https_proxy" if set, else "HTTPS_PROXY".
-no_proxy addresses
List of IP addresses and/or DNS names of servers not to use an
HTTP(S) proxy for, separated by commas and/or whitespace (where in
the latter case the whole argument must be enclosed in "...").
Default is from the environment variable "no_proxy" if set, else
"NO_PROXY".
-status_url val
Sets a fallback responder URL to use if no responder URL is present
in the server certificate. Without this option an error is returned
if the server certificate does not contain a responder address.
The optional userinfo and fragment URL components are ignored. Any
given query component is handled as part of the path component.
-status_file infile
Overrides any OCSP responder URLs from the certificate and always
provides the OCSP Response stored in the file. The file must be in
DER format.
-ssl_config val
Configure SSL_CTX using the given configuration value.
-trace
Show verbose trace output of protocol messages.
-brief
Provide a brief summary of connection parameters instead of the
normal verbose output.
-rev
Simple echo server that sends back received text reversed. Also
sets -brief. Cannot be used in conjunction with -early_data.
-async
Switch on asynchronous mode. Cryptographic operations will be
performed asynchronously. This will only have an effect if an
asynchronous capable engine is also used via the -engine option.
For test purposes the dummy async engine (dasync) can be used (if
available).
-max_send_frag +int
The maximum size of data fragment to send. See
SSL_CTX_set_max_send_fragment(3) for further information.
-split_send_frag +int
The size used to split data for encrypt pipelines. If more data is
written in one go than this value then it will be split into
multiple pipelines, up to the maximum number of pipelines defined
by max_pipelines. This only has an effect if a suitable cipher
suite has been negotiated, an engine that supports pipelining has
been loaded, and max_pipelines is greater than 1. See
SSL_CTX_set_split_send_fragment(3) for further information.
-max_pipelines +int
The maximum number of encrypt/decrypt pipelines to be used. This
will only have an effect if an engine has been loaded that supports
pipelining (e.g. the dasync engine) and a suitable cipher suite has
been negotiated. The default value is 1. See
SSL_CTX_set_max_pipelines(3) for further information.
-naccept +int
The server will exit after receiving the specified number of
connections, default unlimited.
-read_buf +int
The default read buffer size to be used for connections. This will
only have an effect if the buffer size is larger than the size that
would otherwise be used and pipelining is in use (see
SSL_CTX_set_default_read_buffer_len(3) for further information).
-bugs
There are several known bugs in SSL and TLS implementations. Adding
this option enables various workarounds.
-no_comp
Disable negotiation of TLS compression. TLS compression is not
recommended and is off by default as of OpenSSL 1.1.0.
-comp
Enable negotiation of TLS compression. This option was introduced
in OpenSSL 1.1.0. TLS compression is not recommended and is off by
default as of OpenSSL 1.1.0.
-no_ticket
Disable RFC4507bis session ticket support. This option has no
effect if TLSv1.3 is negotiated. See -num_tickets.
-num_tickets
Control the number of tickets that will be sent to the client after
a full handshake in TLSv1.3. The default number of tickets is 2.
This option does not affect the number of tickets sent after a
resumption handshake.
-serverpref
Use the server's cipher preferences, rather than the client's
preferences.
-prioritize_chacha
Prioritize ChaCha ciphers when preferred by clients. Requires
-serverpref.
-no_resumption_on_reneg
Set the SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION option.
-client_sigalgs val
Signature algorithms to support for client certificate
authentication (colon-separated list).
-named_curve val
Specifies the elliptic curve to use. NOTE: this is single curve,
not a list. For a list of all possible curves, use:
$ openssl ecparam -list_curves
-cipher val
This allows the list of TLSv1.2 and below ciphersuites used by the
server to be modified. This list is combined with any TLSv1.3
ciphersuites that have been configured. When the client sends a
list of supported ciphers the first client cipher also included in
the server list is used. Because the client specifies the
preference order, the order of the server cipherlist is irrelevant.
See openssl-ciphers(1) for more information.
-ciphersuites val
This allows the list of TLSv1.3 ciphersuites used by the server to
be modified. This list is combined with any TLSv1.2 and below
ciphersuites that have been configured. When the client sends a
list of supported ciphers the first client cipher also included in
the server list is used. Because the client specifies the
preference order, the order of the server cipherlist is irrelevant.
See openssl-ciphers(1) command for more information. The format for
this list is a simple colon (":") separated list of TLSv1.3
ciphersuite names.
-dhparam infile
The DH parameter file to use. The ephemeral DH cipher suites
generate keys using a set of DH parameters. If not specified then
an attempt is made to load the parameters from the server
certificate file. If this fails then a static set of parameters
hard coded into this command will be used.
-nbio
Turns on non blocking I/O.
-timeout
Enable timeouts.
-mtu
Set link-layer MTU.
-psk_identity val
Expect the client to send PSK identity val when using a PSK cipher
suite, and warn if they do not. By default, the expected PSK
identity is the string "Client_identity".
-psk_hint val
Use the PSK identity hint val when using a PSK cipher suite.
-psk val
Use the PSK key val when using a PSK cipher suite. The key is given
as a hexadecimal number without leading 0x, for example -psk
1a2b3c4d. This option must be provided in order to use a PSK
cipher.
-psk_session file
Use the pem encoded SSL_SESSION data stored in file as the basis of
a PSK. Note that this will only work if TLSv1.3 is negotiated.
-srpvfile
The verifier file for SRP. This option is deprecated.
-srpuserseed
A seed string for a default user salt. This option is deprecated.
-listen
This option can only be used in conjunction with one of the DTLS
options above. With this option, this command will listen on a UDP
port for incoming connections. Any ClientHellos that arrive will
be checked to see if they have a cookie in them or not. Any
without a cookie will be responded to with a HelloVerifyRequest.
If a ClientHello with a cookie is received then this command will
connect to that peer and complete the handshake.
-sctp
Use SCTP for the transport protocol instead of UDP in DTLS. Must be
used in conjunction with -dtls, -dtls1 or -dtls1_2. This option is
only available where OpenSSL has support for SCTP enabled.
-sctp_label_bug
Use the incorrect behaviour of older OpenSSL implementations when
computing endpoint-pair shared secrets for DTLS/SCTP. This allows
communication with older broken implementations but breaks
interoperability with correct implementations. Must be used in
conjunction with -sctp. This option is only available where OpenSSL
has support for SCTP enabled.
-use_srtp
Offer SRTP key management with a colon-separated profile list.
-no_dhe
If this option is set then no DH parameters will be loaded
effectively disabling the ephemeral DH cipher suites.
-alpn val, -nextprotoneg val
These flags enable the Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation or
Next Protocol Negotiation (NPN) extension, respectively. ALPN is
the IETF standard and replaces NPN. The val list is a comma-
separated list of supported protocol names. The list should
contain the most desirable protocols first. Protocol names are
printable ASCII strings, for example "http/1.1" or "spdy/3". The
flag -nextprotoneg cannot be specified if -tls1_3 is used.
-sendfile
If this option is set and KTLS is enabled, SSL_sendfile() will be
used instead of BIO_write() to send the HTTP response requested by
a client. This option is only valid if -WWW or -HTTP is specified.
-keylogfile outfile
Appends TLS secrets to the specified keylog file such that external
programs (like Wireshark) can decrypt TLS connections.
-max_early_data int
Change the default maximum early data bytes that are specified for
new sessions and any incoming early data (when used in conjunction
with the -early_data flag). The default value is approximately 16k.
The argument must be an integer greater than or equal to 0.
-recv_max_early_data int
Specify the hard limit on the maximum number of early data bytes
that will be accepted.
-early_data
Accept early data where possible. Cannot be used in conjunction
with -www, -WWW, -HTTP or -rev.
-stateless
Require TLSv1.3 cookies.
-anti_replay, -no_anti_replay
Switches replay protection on or off, respectively. Replay
protection is on by default unless overridden by a configuration
file. When it is on, OpenSSL will automatically detect if a session
ticket has been used more than once, TLSv1.3 has been negotiated,
and early data is enabled on the server. A full handshake is forced
if a session ticket is used a second or subsequent time. Any early
data that was sent will be rejected.
-nameopt option
This specifies how the subject or issuer names are displayed. See
openssl-namedisplay-options(1) for details.
-no_ssl3, -no_tls1, -no_tls1_1, -no_tls1_2, -no_tls1_3, -ssl3, -tls1,
-tls1_1, -tls1_2, -tls1_3
See "TLS Version Options" in openssl(1).
-dtls, -dtls1, -dtls1_2
These specify the use of DTLS instead of TLS. See "TLS Version
Options" in openssl(1).

-issuer_checks
Set various options of certificate chain verification. See
"Verification Options" in openssl-verification-options(1) for
details.
If the server requests a client certificate, then verification
errors are displayed, for debugging, but the command will proceed
unless the -verify_return_error option is used.
CONNECTED COMMANDS
If a connection request is established with an SSL client and neither
the -www nor the -WWW option has been used then normally any data
received from the client is displayed and any key presses will be sent
to the client.
Certain commands are also recognized which perform special operations.
These commands are a letter which must appear at the start of a line.
They are listed below.
q End the current SSL connection but still accept new connections.
Q End the current SSL connection and exit.
r Renegotiate the SSL session (TLSv1.2 and below only).
R Renegotiate the SSL session and request a client certificate
(TLSv1.2 and below only).
P Send some plain text down the underlying TCP connection: this
should cause the client to disconnect due to a protocol violation.
S Print out some session cache status information.
k Send a key update message to the client (TLSv1.3 only)
K Send a key update message to the client and request one back
(TLSv1.3 only)
c Send a certificate request to the client (TLSv1.3 only)
NOTES
This command can be used to debug SSL clients. To accept connections
from a web browser the command:
openssl s_server -accept 443 -www
can be used for example.
Although specifying an empty list of CAs when requesting a client
certificate is strictly speaking a protocol violation, some SSL clients
interpret this to mean any CA is acceptable. This is useful for
debugging purposes.
The session parameters can printed out using the openssl-sess_id(1)
command.
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
SSL server program would be much simpler.
The output of common ciphers is wrong: it just gives the list of
ciphers that OpenSSL recognizes and the client supports.
There should be a way for this command to print out details of any
unknown cipher suites a client says it supports.

HISTORY
The -no_alt_chains option was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
The -allow-no-dhe-kex and -prioritize_chacha options were added in
