!!DESCRIPTION |

|
|
|
32 |
OpenSSL is a cryptography toolkit implementing the Secure |
|
|
33 |
Sockets Layer ( SSL v2/v3) and Transport |
|
|
34 |
Layer Security ( TLS v1) network protocols |
|
|
35 |
and related cryptography standards required by |
|
|
36 |
them. |
|
|
37 |
|
|
|
38 |
|
|
|
39 |
The __openssl__ program is a command line tool for using |
|
|
40 |
the various cryptography functions of OpenSSL's |
|
|
41 |
__crypto__ library from the shell. It can be used |
|
|
42 |
for |
|
|
43 |
|
|
|
44 |
|
|
|
45 |
o Creation of RSA, DH and DSA key parameters |
|
|
46 |
o Creation of X.509 certificates, CSRs and CRLs |
|
|
47 |
o Calculation of Message Digests |
|
|
48 |
o Encryption and Decryption with Ciphers |
|
|
49 |
o SSL/TLS Client and Server Tests |
|
|
50 |
o Handling of S/MIME signed or encrypted mail |
|
|

!!COMMAND SUMMARY |
|
|
52 |
|
|
|
53 |
|
|
|
54 |
The __openssl__ program provides a rich variety of |
|
|
55 |
commands (''command'' in the SYNOPSIS |
|
|
56 |
above), each of which often has a wealth of options and |
|
|
57 |
arguments (''command_opts'' and ''command_args'' in |
|
|
58 |
the SYNOPSIS ). |
|
|
59 |
|
|
|
60 |
|
|
|
61 |
The pseudo-commands __list-standard-commands__, |
|
|
62 |
__list-message-digest-commands__, and |
|
|
63 |
__list-cipher-commands__ output a list (one entry per |
|
|
64 |
line) of the names of all standard commands, message digest |
|
|
65 |
commands, or cipher commands, respectively, that are |
|
|
66 |
available in the present __openssl__ |
|
|
67 |
utility. |
|
|
68 |
|
|
|
69 |
|
|
|
70 |
The pseudo-command __no-__ ''XXX'' |
|
|
71 |
tests whether a command of the specified name is available. |
|
|
72 |
If no command named ''XXX'' exists, it |
|
|
73 |
returns 0 (success) and prints __no-__ |
|
|
74 |
''XXX'' ; otherwise it returns 1 and |
|
|
75 |
prints ''XXX'' . In both cases, the output |
|
|
76 |
goes to __stdout__ and nothing is printed to |
|
|
77 |
__stderr__. Additional command line arguments are always |
|
|
78 |
ignored. Since for each cipher there is a command of the |
|
|
79 |
same name, this provides an easy way for shell scripts to |
|
|
80 |
test for the availability of ciphers in the __openssl__ |
|
|
81 |
program. (__no-__ ''XXX'' is not able |
|
|
82 |
to detect pseudo-commands such as __quit__, |
|
|
83 |
__list-__''...''__-commands__, or __no-__ |
|
|
84 |
''XXX'' itself.) |

!!PASS PHRASE ARGUMENTS |
|
|
395 |
|
|
|
396 |
|
|
|
397 |
Several commands accept password arguments, typically using |
|
|
398 |
__-passin__ and __-passout__ for input and output |
|
|
399 |
passwords respectively. These allow the password to be |
|
|
400 |
obtained from a variety of sources. Both of these options |
|
|
401 |
take a single argument whose format is described below. If |
|
|
402 |
no password argument is given and a password is required |
|
|
403 |
then the user is prompted to enter one: this will typically |
|
|
404 |
be read from the current terminal with echoing turned |
|
|
405 |
off. |
|
|
406 |
|
|
|
407 |
|
|
|
408 |
__pass:password__ |
|
|
409 |
|
|
|
410 |
|
|
|
411 |
the actual password is __password__. Since the password |
|
|
412 |
is visible to utilities (like 'ps' under Unix) this form |
|
|
413 |
should only be used where security is not |
|
|
414 |
important. |
|
|
415 |
|
|
|
416 |
|
|
|
417 |
__env:var__ |
|
|
418 |
|
|
|
419 |
|
|
|
420 |
obtain the password from the environment variable |
|
|
421 |
__var__. Since the environment of other processes is |
|
|
422 |
visible on certain platforms (e.g. ps under certain Unix |
|
|
423 |
OSes) this option should be used with caution. |
|
|
424 |
|
|
|
425 |
|
|
|
426 |
__file:pathname__ |

the first line of __pathname__ is the password. If the |
|
|
430 |
same __pathname__ argument is supplied to __-passin__ |
|
|
431 |
and __-passout__ arguments then the first line will be |
|
|
432 |
used for the input password and the next line for the output |
|
|
433 |
password. __pathname__ need not refer to a regular file: |
|
|
434 |
it could for example refer to a device or named |
|
