NAME

       gnutls-serv - GnuTLS server

SYNOPSIS

       gnutls-serv [-flags] [-flag [value]] [--option-name[[=| ]value]]

       All arguments must be options.

DESCRIPTION

       Server program that listens to incoming TLS connections.

OPTIONS

       -d number, --debug=number
              Enable  debugging.  This option takes an integer number as its argument.  The value
              of number is constrained to being:
                  in the range  0 through 9999

              Specifies the debug level.

       --sni-hostname=string
              Server's hostname for server name extension.

              Server name of type host_name that the server will recognise as its own. If the
              server receives client hello with different name, it will send a warning-level
              unrecognized_name alert.

       --sni-hostname-fatal
              Send fatal alert on sni-hostname mismatch.

       --noticket
              Don't accept session tickets.

       -g, --generate
              Generate Diffie-Hellman parameters.

       -q, --quiet
              Suppress some messages.

       --nodb Do not use a resumption database.

       --http Act as an HTTP server.

       --echo Act as an Echo server.

       -u, --udp
              Use DTLS (datagram TLS) over UDP.

       --mtu=number
              Set MTU for datagram TLS.  This option takes an integer number as its argument.
              The value of number is constrained to being:
                  in the range  0 through 17000

       --srtp-profiles=string
              Offer SRTP profiles.

       --verify-client-cert
              If a client certificate is sent then verify it..

              Do not require, but if a client certificate is sent then verify it and close the
              connection if invalid.

       -b, --heartbeat

EXAMPLES

       Running your own TLS server based on GnuTLS can be useful when debugging clients and/or
       GnuTLS itself.  This section describes how to use gnutls-serv as a simple HTTPS server.

       The most basic server can be started as:

           gnutls-serv --http --priority "NORMAL:+ANON-ECDH:+ANON-DH"

       It will only support anonymous ciphersuites, which many TLS clients refuse to use.

       The next step is to add support for X.509.  First we generate a CA:

           $ certtool --generate-privkey > x509-ca-key.pem
           $ echo 'cn = GnuTLS test CA' > ca.tmpl
           $ echo 'ca' >> ca.tmpl
           $ echo 'cert_signing_key' >> ca.tmpl
           $ certtool --generate-self-signed --load-privkey x509-ca-key.pem   --template ca.tmpl --outfile x509-ca.pem

       Then generate a server certificate.  Remember to change the dns_name value to the name of
       your server host, or skip that command to avoid the field.

           $ certtool --generate-privkey > x509-server-key.pem
           $ echo 'organization = GnuTLS test server' > server.tmpl
           $ echo 'cn = test.gnutls.org' >> server.tmpl
           $ echo 'tls_www_server' >> server.tmpl
           $ echo 'encryption_key' >> server.tmpl
           $ echo 'signing_key' >> server.tmpl
           $ echo 'dns_name = test.gnutls.org' >> server.tmpl
           $ certtool --generate-certificate --load-privkey x509-server-key.pem   --load-ca-certificate x509-ca.pem --load-ca-privkey x509-ca-key.pem   --template server.tmpl --outfile x509-server.pem

       For use in the client, you may want to generate a client certificate as well.

           $ certtool --generate-privkey > x509-client-key.pem
           $ echo 'cn = GnuTLS test client' > client.tmpl
           $ echo 'tls_www_client' >> client.tmpl
           $ echo 'encryption_key' >> client.tmpl
           $ echo 'signing_key' >> client.tmpl
           $ certtool --generate-certificate --load-privkey x509-client-key.pem   --load-ca-certificate x509-ca.pem --load-ca-privkey x509-ca-key.pem   --template client.tmpl --outfile x509-client.pem

       To be able to import the client key/certificate into some applications, you will need to
       convert them into a PKCS#12 structure.  This also encrypts the security sensitive key with
       a password.

           $ certtool --to-p12 --load-ca-certificate x509-ca.pem   --load-privkey x509-client-key.pem --load-certificate x509-client.pem   --outder --outfile x509-client.p12

       For icing, we'll create a proxy certificate for the client too.

           $ certtool --generate-privkey > x509-proxy-key.pem
           $ echo 'cn = GnuTLS test client proxy' > proxy.tmpl
           $ certtool --generate-proxy --load-privkey x509-proxy-key.pem   --load-ca-certificate x509-client.pem --load-ca-privkey x509-client-key.pem   --load-certificate x509-client.pem --template proxy.tmpl   --outfile x509-proxy.pem

       Then start the server again:

           $ gnutls-serv --http             --x509cafile x509-ca.pem             --x509keyfile x509-server-key.pem             --x509certfile x509-server.pem

       Try connecting to the server using your web browser.  Note that the server listens to port
       5556 by default.

       While you are at it, to allow connections using DSA, you can also create a DSA key and
       certificate for the server.  These credentials will be used in the final example below.

           $ certtool --generate-privkey --dsa > x509-server-key-dsa.pem
           $ certtool --generate-certificate --load-privkey x509-server-key-dsa.pem   --load-ca-certificate x509-ca.pem --load-ca-privkey x509-ca-key.pem   --template server.tmpl --outfile x509-server-dsa.pem

       The next step is to create OpenPGP credentials for the server.

           gpg --gen-key
           Enter whatever details you want, use 'test.gnutls.org' as name...

       Make a note of the OpenPGP key identifier of the newly generated key, here it was
       5D1D14D8.  You will need to export the key for GnuTLS to be able to use it.

           gpg -a --export 5D1D14D8 > openpgp-server.txt
           gpg --export 5D1D14D8 > openpgp-server.bin
           gpg --export-secret-keys 5D1D14D8 > openpgp-server-key.bin
           gpg -a --export-secret-keys 5D1D14D8 > openpgp-server-key.txt

       Let's start the server with support for OpenPGP credentials:

           gnutls-serv --http --priority NORMAL:+CTYPE-OPENPGP             --pgpkeyfile openpgp-server-key.txt             --pgpcertfile openpgp-server.txt

       The next step is to add support for SRP authentication. This requires an SRP password file
       created with srptool.  To start the server with SRP support:

           gnutls-serv --http --priority NORMAL:+SRP-RSA:+SRP             --srppasswdconf srp-tpasswd.conf             --srppasswd srp-passwd.txt

       Let's also start a server with support for PSK. This would require a password file created
       with psktool.

           gnutls-serv --http --priority NORMAL:+ECDHE-PSK:+PSK             --pskpasswd psk-passwd.txt

       Finally, we start the server with all the earlier parameters and you get this command:

           gnutls-serv --http --priority NORMAL:+PSK:+SRP:+CTYPE-OPENPGP             --x509cafile x509-ca.pem             --x509keyfile x509-server-key.pem             --x509certfile x509-server.pem             --x509dsakeyfile x509-server-key-dsa.pem             --x509dsacertfile x509-server-dsa.pem             --pgpkeyfile openpgp-server-key.txt             --pgpcertfile openpgp-server.txt             --srppasswdconf srp-tpasswd.conf             --srppasswd srp-passwd.txt             --pskpasswd psk-passwd.txt

EXIT STATUS

       One of the following exit values will be returned:

       0  (EXIT_SUCCESS)
              Successful program execution.

       1  (EXIT_FAILURE)
              The operation failed or the command syntax was not valid.

       70  (EX_SOFTWARE)
              libopts had an internal operational error.  Please report it to autogen-
              users@lists.sourceforge.net.  Thank you.
