NAME
gsasl - SASL library command line interface
SYNOPSIS
gsasl [OPTIONS]... [HOST [PORT]]...
DESCRIPTION
GNU SASL 1.8.0 Authenticate user to a server using Simple Authentication and Security Layer. Currently IMAP and SMTP servers are supported. This is a command line interface for the GNU SASL library. -h, --help Print help and exit -V, --version Print version and exit Commands: -c, --client Act as client. (default=on) -s, --server Act as server. (default=off) --client-mechanisms Write name of supported client mechanisms separated by space to stdout. (default=off) --server-mechanisms Write name of supported server mechanisms separated by space to stdout. (default=off) Network options: --connect=HOST[:PORT] Connect to TCP server and negotiate on stream instead of stdin/stdout. PORT is the protocol service, or an integer denoting the port, and defaults to 143 (imap) if not specified. Also sets the --hostname default. Generic options: -d, --application-data After authentication, read data from stdin and run it through the mechanism's security layer and print it base64 encoded to stdout. The default is to terminate after authentication. (default=on) --imap Use a IMAP-like logon procedure (client only). Also sets the --service default to 'imap'. (default=off) --smtp Use a SMTP-like logon procedure (client only). Also sets the --service default to 'smtp'. (default=off) -m, --mechanism=STRING Mechanism to use. --no-client-first Disallow client to send data first (client only). (default=off) SASL mechanism options (they are prompted for when required): -n, --anonymous-token=STRING Token for anonymous authentication, usually mail address (ANONYMOUS only). -a, --authentication-id=STRING Identity of credential owner. -z, --authorization-id=STRING Identity to request service for. -p, --password=STRING Password for authentication (insecure for non-testing purposes). -r, --realm=STRING Realm. Defaults to hostname. -x, --maxbuf=NUMBER Indicate maximum buffer size (DIGEST-MD5 only). --passcode=NUMBER Passcode for authentication (SECURID only). --service=STRING Set the requested service name (should be a registered GSSAPI host based service name). --hostname=STRING Set the name of the server with the requested service. --service-name=STRING Set the generic server name in case of a replicated server (DIGEST-MD5 only). --enable-cram-md5-validate Validate CRAM-MD5 challenge and response interactively. (default=off) --disable-cleartext-validate Disable cleartext validate hook, forcing server to prompt for password. (default=off) --quality-of-protection=TYPE How application payload will be protected. 'qop-auth' means no protection, 'qop-int' means integrity protection, 'qop-conf' means integrity and confidentialiy protection. Currently only used by DIGEST-MD5, where the default is 'qop-int'. STARTTLS options: --starttls Force use of STARTTLS. The default is to use STARTTLS when available. (default=off) --no-starttls Unconditionally disable STARTTLS. (default=off) --no-cb Don't use channel bindings from TLS. (default=off) --x509-ca-file=FILE File containing one or more X.509 Certificate Authorities certificates in PEM format, used to verify the certificate received from the server. If not specified, no verification of the remote server certificate will be done. --x509-cert-file=FILE File containing client X.509 certificate in PEM format. Used together with --x509-key-file to specify the certificate/key pair. --x509-key-file=FILE Private key for the client X.509 certificate in PEM format. Used together with --x509-key-file to specify the certificate/key pair. --priority=STRING Cipher priority string. Other options: --verbose Produce verbose output. (default=off) --quiet Don't produce any diagnostic output. (default=off)
