.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Tlssrv
is a helper program, typically exec'd in a
.B /bin/service
file to establish an SSL or TLS connection before launching
.I cmd
.IR args ;
a typical command might start the IMAP or HTTP server.
.I Cert.pem
is the server certificate;
.IR factotum (4)
should hold the corresponding private key.
The specified
.I logfile
is by convention the same as for the target server.
.I Remotesys
is mainly used for logging.
If the
.B -a
or
.B -A
flag is specified,
.B p9any
authentication is run before the TLS handshake and the resulting
plan9 session secret is used as a pre-shared key for TLS encryption.
This enables the use of TLS without certificates and also runs
the server command as the authorized user when the
.B -a
flag was specified.
.PP
.I Tlsclient
is the reverse of
.IR tlssrv :
it connects to
.IR address ,
starts TLS,
and then relays
between the network connection
and standard input and output or executes
.I cmd args
with standard input and output redirected to the connection.
The
.B -D
flag enables some debug output.
Specifying a certificate in pem(8) format with the
.B -c
flag, causes the client to submit this certificate upon
server's request. A corresponding key has to be present in
.IR factotum (4).
The
.B -d
flag writes the server's certificate to the file
.I servercert
in binary ASN.1 encoding.
If the server doesnt provide a certificate, an empty
file is created.
If the
.B -t
flag
(and, optionally, the
.B -x
flag)
is given, the remote server must present a public key
whose SHA1 or SHA256 hash is listed in the file
.I trustedkeys
but not in the file
.IR excludedkeys .
See
.IR thumbprint (6)
for more information. The
.B -n
option passes the string
.I servername
in the TLS hello message (Server Name Idenfitication)
which is usefull when talking to webservers.
When the
.B -o
option was specified,
.I address
is interpreted as a filename to be opend read-write instead of
a dial string.
.PP
.I Tlssrvtunnel
and
.I tlsclienttunnel
use these tools and
.I listen1
(see
.IR listen (8))
to provide TLS network tunnels, allowing legacy
application to take advantage of TLS encryption.
.SH EXAMPLES
Listen for TLS-encrypted IMAP by creating a server certificate
.B /sys/lib/tls/imap.pem
and a listener script
.B /bin/service.auth/tcp993
containing:
.IP
.EX
#!/bin/rc
exec tlssrv -c/sys/lib/tls/imap.pem -limap4d -r`{cat $3/remote} \e
/bin/upas/imap4d -p -dyourdomain -r`{cat $3/remote} \e
>[2]/sys/log/imap4d
.EE
.PP
Interact with the server, putting the appropriate hash into
.B /sys/lib/tls/mail
and running:
.IP
.EX
tlsclient -t /sys/lib/tls/mail tcp!server!imaps
.EE
.PP
Create a TLS-encrypted VNC connection from a client on
.B kremvax
to a server on
.BR moscvax :
.IP
.EX
mosc% vncs -d :3
mosc% tlssrvtunnel tcp!moscvax!5903 tcp!*!12345 \e
/usr/you/lib/cert.pem
krem% tlsclienttunnel tcp!moscvax!12345 tcp!*!5905 \e
/usr/you/lib/cert.thumb
krem% vncv kremvax:5
.EE
.LP
(The port numbers passed to the VNC tools are offset by 5900 from the
actual TCP port numbers.)
