NAME

       ldns-dane - verify or create TLS authentication with DANE (RFC6698)

SYNOPSIS

       ldns-dane [OPTIONS] verify name port
       ldns-dane [OPTIONS] -t tlsafile verify

       ldns-dane [OPTIONS] name port create
                 [ Certificate-usage [ Selector [ Matching-type ] ] ]

       ldns-dane -h
       ldns-dane -v

DESCRIPTION

       In  the  first  form:  A  TLS  connection  to name:port is established.  The TLSA resource
       record(s) for name are used to authenticate the connection.

       In the second form: The TLSA record(s) are read from tlsafile and used to authenticate the
       TLS service they reference.

       In  the  third  form:  A TLS connection to name:port is established and used to create the
       TLSA resource record(s) that would authenticate the connection.  The parameters  for  TLSA
       rr creation are:

       Certificate-usage:
              0      CA constraint
              1      Service certificate constraint
              2      Trust anchor assertion
              3      Domain-issued certificate (default)

       Selector:
              0      Full certificate (default)
              1      SubjectPublicKeyInfo

       Matching-type:
              0      No hash used
              1      SHA-256 (default)
              2      SHA-512

       In  stead  of numbers the first few letters of the value may be used.  Except for the hash
       algorithm name, where the full name must be specified.

OPTIONS

       -4     TLS connect IPv4 only

       -6     TLS connect IPv6 only

       -a address
              Don't try to resolve name, but connect to address instead.

              This option may be given more than once.

       -b     print "name. TYPE52 \# size hexdata" form instead of TLSA presentation format.

       -c certfile
              Do not TLS connect to name:port, but authenticate (or make TLSA  records)  for  the
              certificate (chain) in certfile instead.

       -d     Assume  DNSSEC  validity  even when the TLSA records were acquired insecure or were
              bogus.

       -f CAfile
              Use CAfile to validate.

       -h     Print short usage help

       -i     Interact after connecting.

       -k keyfile
              Specify a file that contains a trusted DNSKEY or  DS  rr.   Key(s)  are  used  when
              chasing signatures (i.e. -S is given).

              This option may be given more than once.

              Alternatively,   if   -k   is   not   specified,   and   a   default  trust  anchor
              (/etc/unbound/root.key) exists and contains a valid DNSKEY or DS record, it will be
              used as the trust anchor.

       -n     Do not verify server name in certificate.

       -o offset
              When  creating a "Trust anchor assertion" TLSA resource record, select the offsetth
              certificate offset from  the  end  of  the  validation  chain.  0  means  the  last
              certificate, 1 the one but last, 2 the second but last, etc.

              When  offset  is  -1 (the default), the last certificate is used (like with 0) that
              MUST be self-signed. This can help to make sure that  the  intended  (self  signed)
              trust  anchor  is actually present in the server certificate chain (which is a DANE
              requirement).

       -p CApath
              Use certificates in the CApath directory to validate.

       -s     When creating TLSA resource records with  the  "CA  Constraint"  and  the  "Service
              Certificate  Constraint"  certificate  usage,  do  not  validate and assume PKIX is
              valid.

              For "CA Constraint" this means that verification  should  end  with  a  self-signed
              certificate.

       -S     Chase signature(s) to a known key.

              Without  this  option,  the  local  network is trusted to provide a DNSSEC resolver
              (i.e. AD bit is checked).

       -t tlsafile
              Read TLSA record(s) from tlsafile. When name and port are  also  given,  only  TLSA
              records  that match the name, port and transport are used. Otherwise the owner name
              of the TLSA record(s) will be used to determine name, port and transport.

       -T     Return  exit  status  2  for  PKIX  validated  connections  without  (secure)  TLSA
              records(s)

       -u     Use UDP transport instead of TCP.

       -v     Show version and exit.

FILES

       /etc/unbound/root.key
              The  file  from  which  trusted  keys  are loaded for signature chasing, when no -k
              option is given.
