  157. .SH "DESCRIPTION"
  158. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  159. The \fBs_time\fR command implements a generic \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 client which connects to a
  160. remote host using \s-1SSL/TLS.\s0 It can request a page from the server and includes
  161. the time to transfer the payload data in its timing measurements. It measures
  162. the number of connections within a given timeframe, the amount of data
  163. transferred (if any), and calculates the average time spent for one connection.
  164. .SH "OPTIONS"
  165. .IX Header "OPTIONS"
  166. .IP "\fB\-connect host:port\fR" 4
  167. .IX Item "-connect host:port"
  168. This specifies the host and optional port to connect to.
  169. .IP "\fB\-www page\fR" 4
  170. .IX Item "-www page"
  171. This specifies the page to \s-1GET\s0 from the server. A value of '/' gets the
  172. index.htm[l] page. If this parameter is not specified, then \fBs_time\fR will only
  173. perform the handshake to establish \s-1SSL\s0 connections but not transfer any
  174. payload data.
  175. .IP "\fB\-cert certname\fR" 4
  176. .IX Item "-cert certname"
  177. The certificate to use, if one is requested by the server. The default is
  178. not to use a certificate. The file is in \s-1PEM\s0 format.
  179. .IP "\fB\-key keyfile\fR" 4
  180. .IX Item "-key keyfile"
  181. The private key to use. If not specified then the certificate file will
  182. be used. The file is in \s-1PEM\s0 format.
  183. .IP "\fB\-verify depth\fR" 4
  184. .IX Item "-verify depth"
  185. The verify depth to use. This specifies the maximum length of the
  186. server certificate chain and turns on server certificate verification.
  187. Currently the verify operation continues after errors so all the problems
  188. with a certificate chain can be seen. As a side effect the connection
  189. will never fail due to a server certificate verify failure.
  190. .IP "\fB\-CApath directory\fR" 4
  191. .IX Item "-CApath directory"
  192. The directory to use for server certificate verification. This directory
  193. must be in \*(L"hash format\*(R", see \fBverify\fR for more information. These are
  194. also used when building the client certificate chain.
  195. .IP "\fB\-CAfile file\fR" 4
  196. .IX Item "-CAfile file"
  197. A file containing trusted certificates to use during server authentication
  198. and to use when attempting to build the client certificate chain.
  199. .IP "\fB\-new\fR" 4
  200. .IX Item "-new"
  201. performs the timing test using a new session \s-1ID\s0 for each connection.
  202. If neither \fB\-new\fR nor \fB\-reuse\fR are specified, they are both on by default
  203. and executed in sequence.
  204. .IP "\fB\-reuse\fR" 4
  205. .IX Item "-reuse"
  206. performs the timing test using the same session \s-1ID\s0; this can be used as a test
  207. that session caching is working. If neither \fB\-new\fR nor \fB\-reuse\fR are
  208. specified, they are both on by default and executed in sequence.
  209. .IP "\fB\-nbio\fR" 4
  210. .IX Item "-nbio"
  211. turns on non-blocking I/O.
  212. .IP "\fB\-ssl2\fR, \fB\-ssl3\fR" 4
  213. .IX Item "-ssl2, -ssl3"
  214. these options disable the use of certain \s-1SSL\s0 or \s-1TLS\s0 protocols. By default
  215. the initial handshake uses a method which should be compatible with all
  216. servers and permit them to use \s-1SSL\s0 v3, \s-1SSL\s0 v2 or \s-1TLS\s0 as appropriate.
  217. The timing program is not as rich in options to turn protocols on and off as
  218. the \fIs_client\fR\|(1) program and may not connect to all servers.
  219. .Sp
  220. Unfortunately there are a lot of ancient and broken servers in use which
  221. cannot handle this technique and will fail to connect. Some servers only
  222. work if \s-1TLS\s0 is turned off with the \fB\-ssl3\fR option; others
  223. will only support \s-1SSL\s0 v2 and may need the \fB\-ssl2\fR option.
  224. .IP "\fB\-bugs\fR" 4
  225. .IX Item "-bugs"
  226. there are several known bug in \s-1SSL\s0 and \s-1TLS\s0 implementations. Adding this
  227. option enables various workarounds.
  228. .IP "\fB\-cipher cipherlist\fR" 4
  229. .IX Item "-cipher cipherlist"
  230. this allows the cipher list sent by the client to be modified. Although
  231. the server determines which cipher suite is used it should take the first
  232. supported cipher in the list sent by the client.
  233. See the \fIciphers\fR\|(1) command for more information.
  234. .IP "\fB\-time length\fR" 4
  235. .IX Item "-time length"
  236. specifies how long (in seconds) \fBs_time\fR should establish connections and
  237. optionally transfer payload data from a server. Server and client performance
  238. and the link speed determine how many connections \fBs_time\fR can establish.
  239. .SH "NOTES"
  240. .IX Header "NOTES"
  241. \&\fBs_time\fR can be used to measure the performance of an \s-1SSL\s0 connection.
  242. To connect to an \s-1SSL HTTP\s0 server and get the default page the command
  243. .PP
  244. .Vb 1
  245. \& openssl s_time \-connect servername:443 \-www / \-CApath yourdir \-CAfile yourfile.pem \-cipher commoncipher [\-ssl3]
  246. .Ve
  247. .PP
  248. would typically be used (https uses port 443). 'commoncipher' is a cipher to
  249. which both client and server can agree, see the \fIciphers\fR\|(1) command
  250. for details.
  251. .PP
  252. If the handshake fails then there are several possible causes, if it is
  253. nothing obvious like no client certificate then the \fB\-bugs\fR, \fB\-ssl2\fR,
  254. \&\fB\-ssl3\fR options can be tried
  255. in case it is a buggy server. In particular you should play with these
  256. options \fBbefore\fR submitting a bug report to an OpenSSL mailing list.
  257. .PP
  258. A frequent problem when attempting to get client certificates working
  259. is that a web client complains it has no certificates or gives an empty
  260. list to choose from. This is normally because the server is not sending
  261. the clients certificate authority in its \*(L"acceptable \s-1CA\s0 list\*(R" when it
  262. requests a certificate. By using \fIs_client\fR\|(1) the \s-1CA\s0 list can be
  263. viewed and checked. However some servers only request client authentication
  264. after a specific \s-1URL\s0 is requested. To obtain the list in this case it
  265. is necessary to use the \fB\-prexit\fR option of \fIs_client\fR\|(1) and
  266. send an \s-1HTTP\s0 request for an appropriate page.
  267. .PP
  268. If a certificate is specified on the command line using the \fB\-cert\fR
  269. option it will not be used unless the server specifically requests
  270. a client certificate. Therefor merely including a client certificate
  271. on the command line is no guarantee that the certificate works.
  272. .SH "BUGS"
  273. .IX Header "BUGS"
  274. Because this program does not have all the options of the
  275. \&\fIs_client\fR\|(1) program to turn protocols on and off, you may not be
  276. able to measure the performance of all protocols with all servers.
  277. .PP
  278. The \fB\-verify\fR option should really exit if the server verification
  279. fails.
