       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):

       -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

              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

              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.
