This command implements a generic SSL/TLS server which listens for connections
on a given port using SSL/TLS.
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

- 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.
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)
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.
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.

The -no_alt_chains option was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
The -allow-no-dhe-kex and -prioritize_chacha options were added in OpenSSL
1.1.1.
The
-srpvfile,
-srpuserseed, and
-engine option were
deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
