=head1 DESCRIPTION
=head1 OPTIONS
+In addition to the options below the B<s_client> utility also supports the
+common and client only options documented in the
+in the L<SSL_CONF_cmd(3)|SSL_CONF_cmd(3)/SUPPORTED COMMAND LINE COMMANDS>
+manual page.
+
=over 4
+=item B<-help>
+
+Print out a usage message.
+
=item B<-connect host:port>
This specifies the host and optional port to connect to. If not specified
then an attempt is made to connect to the local host on port 4433.
+=item B<-proxy host:port>
+
+When used with the B<-connect> flag, the program uses the host and port
+specified with this flag and issues an HTTP CONNECT command to connect
+to the desired server.
+
+=item B<-servername name>
+
+Set the TLS SNI (Server Name Indication) extension in the ClientHello message.
+
=item B<-cert certname>
The certificate to use, if one is requested by the server. The default is
not to use a certificate.
+=item B<-certform format>
+
+The certificate format to use: DER or PEM. PEM is the default.
+
=item B<-key keyfile>
The private key to use. If not specified then the certificate file will
be used.
+=item B<-keyform format>
+
+The private format to use: DER or PEM. PEM is the default.
+
+=item B<-pass arg>
+
+the private key password source. For more information about the format of B<arg>
+see the B<PASS PHRASE ARGUMENTS> section in L<openssl(1)>.
+
=item B<-verify depth>
The verify depth to use. This specifies the maximum length of the
with a certificate chain can be seen. As a side effect the connection
will never fail due to a server certificate verify failure.
+=item B<-verify_return_error>
+
+Return verification errors instead of continuing. This will typically
+abort the handshake with a fatal error.
+
=item B<-CApath directory>
The directory to use for server certificate verification. This directory
A file containing trusted certificates to use during server authentication
and to use when attempting to build the client certificate chain.
+=item B<-no-CAfile>
+
+Do not load the trusted CA certificates from the default file location
+
+=item B<-no-CApath>
+
+Do not load the trusted CA certificates from the default directory location
+
+=item B<-dane_tlsa_domain domain>
+
+Enable RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA authentication and specify the
+TLSA base domain which becomes the default SNI hint and the primary
+reference identifier for hostname checks. This must be used in
+combination with at least one instance of the B<-dane_tlsa_rrdata>
+option below.
+
+When DANE authentication succeeds, the diagnostic output will include
+the lowest (closest to 0) depth at which a TLSA record authenticated
+a chain certificate. When that TLSA record is a "2 1 0" trust
+anchor public key that signed (rather than matched) the top-most
+certificate of the chain, the result is reported as "TA public key
+verified". Otherwise, either the TLSA record "matched TA certificate"
+at a positive depth or else "matched EE certificate" at depth 0.
+
+=item B<-dane_tlsa_rrdata rrdata>
+
+Use one or more times to specify the RRDATA fields of the DANE TLSA
+RRset associated with the target service. The B<rrdata> value is
+specied in "presentation form", 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:
+
+ $ openssl s_client -brief -starttls smtp \
+ -connect smtp.example.com:25 \
+ -dane_tlsa_domain smtp.example.com \
+ -dane_tlsa_rrdata "2 1 1
+ B111DD8A1C2091A89BD4FD60C57F0716CCE50FEEFF8137CDBEE0326E 02CF362B" \
+ -dane_tlsa_rrdata "2 1 1
+ 60B87575447DCBA2A36B7D11AC09FB24A9DB406FEE12D2CC90180517 616E8A18"
+ ...
+ Verification: OK
+ Verified peername: smtp.example.com
+ DANE TLSA 2 1 1 ...ee12d2cc90180517616e8a18 matched TA certificate at depth 1
+ ...

+
=item B<-reconnect>
reconnects to the same server 5 times using the same session ID, this can
be used as a test that session caching is working.
-=item B<-pause>
-
-pauses 1 second between each read and write call.
-
=item B<-showcerts>
display the whole server certificate chain: normally only the server
print extensive debugging information including a hex dump of all traffic.
+=item B<-msg>
+
+show all protocol messages with hex dump.
+
+=item B<-trace>
+
+show verbose trace output of protocol messages. OpenSSL needs to be compiled
+with B<enable-ssl-trace> for this option to work.
+
+=item B<-msgfile>
+
+file to send output of B<-msg> or B<-trace> to, default standard output.
+
=item B<-nbio_test>
tests non-blocking I/O
=item B<-quiet>
-inhibit printing of session and certificate information. This implicitely
+inhibit printing of session and certificate information. This implicitly
turns on B<-ign_eof> as well.
-=item B<-ssl2>, B<-ssl3>, B<-tls1>, B<-no_ssl2>, B<-no_ssl3>, B<-no_tls1>
+=item B<-no_ign_eof>
+
+shut down the connection when end of file is reached in the input.
+Can be used to override the implicit B<-ign_eof> after B<-quiet>.
+
+=item B<-psk_identity identity>
+
+Use the PSK identity B<identity> when using a PSK cipher suite.
+
+=item B<-psk key>
+
+Use the PSK key B<key> when using a PSK cipher suite. The key is
+given as a hexadecimal number without leading 0x, for example -psk
+1a2b3c4d.
+
+=item B<-ssl3>, B<-tls1>, B<-tls1_1>, B<-tls1_2>, B<-no_ssl3>, B<-no_tls1>, B<-no_tls1_1>, B<-no_tls1_2>
+
+These options require or disable the use of the specified SSL or TLS protocols.
+By default B<s_client> will negotiate the highest mutually supported protocol
+version.
+When a specific TLS version is required, only that version will be offered to
+and accepted from the server.
+
+=item B<-dtls>, B<-dtls1>, B<-dtls1_2>
+
+These options make B<s_client> use DTLS protocols instead of TLS.
+With B<-dtls>, B<s_client> will negotiate any supported DTLS protcol version,
+whilst B<-dtls1> and B<-dtls1_2> will only support DTLS1.0 and DTLS1.2
+respectively.
+
+=item B<-fallback_scsv>
+
+Send TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV in the ClientHello.
+
+=item B<-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 B<-engine> option. For test purposes the dummy async engine
+(dasync) can be used (if available).
+
+=item B<-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 ciphersuite has been negotiated, an engine that supports pipelining
+has been loaded, and max_pipelines is greater than 1. See
+L<SSL_CTX_set_split_send_fragment(3)> for further information.
-these options disable the use of certain SSL or TLS protocols. By default
-the initial handshake uses a method which should be compatible with all
-servers and permit them to use SSL v3, SSL v2 or TLS as appropriate.
+=item B<-max_pipelines int>
-Unfortunately there are a lot of ancient and broken servers in use which
-cannot handle this technique and will fail to connect. Some servers only
-work if TLS is turned off with the B<-no_tls> option others will only
-support SSL v2 and may need the B<-ssl2> option.
+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 suiteable ciphersuite has been negotiated. The default value is 1.
+See L<SSL_CTX_set_max_pipelines(3)> for further information.
+
+=item B<-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 L<SSL_CTX_set_default_read_buffer_len(3)> for
+further information).
=item B<-bugs>
there are several known bug in SSL and TLS implementations. Adding this
option enables various workarounds.
+=item B<-comp>
+
+Enables support for SSL/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.
+
+=item B<-no_comp>
+
+Disables support for SSL/TLS compression.
+TLS compression is not recommended and is off by default as of
+OpenSSL 1.1.0.
+
+=item B<-brief>
+
+only provide a brief summary of connection parameters instead of the
+normal verbose output.
+
=item B<-cipher cipherlist>
this allows the cipher list sent by the client to be modified. Although
supported cipher in the list sent by the client. See the B<ciphers>
command for more information.
+=item B<-starttls protocol>
+
+send the protocol-specific message(s) to switch to TLS for communication.
+B<protocol> is a keyword for the intended protocol. Currently, the only
+supported keywords are "smtp", "pop3", "imap", "ftp", "xmpp", "xmpp-server",
+and "irc."
+
+=item B<-xmpphost hostname>
+
+This option, when used with "-starttls xmpp" or "-starttls xmpp-server",
+specifies the host for the "to" attribute of the stream element.
+If this option is not specified, then the host specified with "-connect"
+will be used.
+
+=item B<-tlsextdebug>
+
+print out a hex dump of any TLS extensions received from the server.
+
+=item B<-no_ticket>
+
+disable RFC4507bis session ticket support.
+
+=item B<-sess_out filename>
+
+output SSL session to B<filename>
+
+=item B<-sess_in sess.pem>
+
+load SSL session from B<filename>. The client will attempt to resume a
+connection from this session.
+
+=item B<-engine id>
+
+specifying an engine (by its unique B<id> string) will cause B<s_client>
+to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine,
+thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default
+for all available algorithms.
+
+=item B<-rand file(s)>
+
+a file or files containing random data used to seed the random number
+generator, or an EGD socket (see L<RAND_egd(3)>).
+Multiple files can be specified separated by an OS-dependent character.
+The separator is B<;> for MS-Windows, B<,> for OpenVMS, and B<:> for
+all others.
+
+=item B<-serverinfo types>
+
+a list of comma-separated TLS Extension Types (numbers between 0 and
+65535). Each type will be sent as an empty ClientHello TLS Extension.
+The server's response (if any) will be encoded and displayed as a PEM
+file.
+
+=item B<-status>
+
+sends a certificate status request to the server (OCSP stapling). The server
+response (if any) is printed out.
+
+=item B<-nextprotoneg protocols>
+
+enable Next Protocol Negotiation TLS extension and provide a list of
+comma-separated protocol names that the client should advertise
+support for. The list should contain most wanted protocols first.
+Protocol names are printable ASCII strings, for example "http/1.1" or
+"spdy/3".
+Empty list of protocols is treated specially and will cause the client to
+advertise support for the TLS extension but disconnect just after
+receiving ServerHello with a list of server supported protocols.
+
+=item B<-ct|noct>
+
+Use one of these two options to control whether Certificate Transparency (CT)
+is enabled (B<-ct>) or disabled (B<-noct>).
+If CT is enabled, signed certificate timestamps (SCTs) will be requested from
+the server and reported at handshake completion.
+
+Enabling CT also enables OCSP stapling, as this is one possible delivery method
+for SCTs.
+
+=item B<-ctlogfile>
+
+A file containing a list of known Certificate Transparency logs. See
+L<SSL_CTX_set_ctlog_list_file(3)> for the expected file format.

=head1 CONNECTED COMMANDS
If a connection is established with an SSL server then any data received
from the server is displayed and any key presses will be sent to the
server. When used interactively (which means neither B<-quiet> nor B<-ign_eof>
-have been given), the session will be renegociated if the line begins with an
+have been given), the session will be renegotiated if the line begins with an
B<R>, and if the line begins with a B<Q> or if end of file is reached, the
connection will be closed down.

-=head1 BUGS
+The B<s_client> utility 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. None test
+applications should B<not> do this as it makes them vulnerable to a MITM
+attack. This behaviour can be changed by with the B<-verify_return_error>
+option: any verify errors are then returned aborting the handshake.
