NAME

gnutls-serv - GnuTLS test server

SYNOPSIS

gnutls-serv [options]

DESCRIPTION

Simple server program that listens to incoming TLS connections.

OPTIONS

Program control options

-d, --debug LEVEL: Specify the debug level. Default is 1.
-h, --help: prints this help
-l, --list: Print a list of the supported algorithms and modes.
-q, --quiet: Suppress some messages.
-v, --version: prints the program's version number

Server options

-p, --port integer: The port to listen on.
--nodb: Does not use the resume database.
--http: Act as an HTTP Server.
--echo: Act as an Echo Server.

TLS/SSL control options

--priority PRIORITY STRING: TLS algorithms and protocols to enable. Unless the first keyword is "NONE" the defaults are:
: Protocols: TLS1.1, TLS1.0, and SSL3.0.
: Compression: NULL.
: Certificate types: X.509, OpenPGP.
: You can also use predefined sets of ciphersuites such as:
: PERFORMANCE all the "secure" ciphersuites are enabled, limited to 128 bit ciphers and sorted by terms of speed performance.
: NORMAL option enables all "secure" ciphersuites. The 256-bit ciphers are included as a fallback only. The ciphers are sorted by security margin.
: SECURE128 flag enables all "secure" ciphersuites with ciphers up to 128 bits, sorted by security margin.
: SECURE256 flag enables all "secure" ciphersuites including the 256 bit ciphers, sorted by security margin.
: EXPORT all the ciphersuites are enabled, including the low-security 40 bit ciphers.
: NONE nothing is enabled. This disables even protocols and compression methods.

: Special keywords:
: "!" or "-" appended with an algorithm will remove this algorithm.
: "+" appended with an algorithm will add this algorithm.
: "%COMPAT" will enable compatibility features for a server.
: "%UNSAFE_RENEGOTIATION" Permits (re-)handshakes even unsafe ones.
: "%PARTIAL_RENEGOTIATION" Prevents renegotiation with clients and servers not supporting the safe renegotiation extension. (default)
: "%SAFE_RENEGOTIATION" will enable safe renegotiation. This is the most secure and recommended option for clients. However this will prevent from connecting to legacy servers.
: To avoid collisions in order to specify a compression algorithm in this string you have to prefix it with "COMP-", protocol versions with "VERS-" and certificate types with "CTYPE-". All other algorithms don't need a prefix.
: Examples:
: "NORMAL"
: "NORMAL:%COMPAT"
: "NORMAL:!AES-128-CBC"
: "NONE:+VERS-TLS1.0:+AES-128-CBC:+RSA:+SHA1:+COMP-NULL"
-g, --generate: Generate Diffie-Hellman Parameters.
--kx kx1 kx2...: Key exchange methods to enable (use gnutls-cli --list to show the supported key exchange methods).
-p, --port integer: The port to connect to.
