NAME

openssl-s_time - SSL/TLS performance timing program

SYNOPSIS

openssl s_time [-help] [-connect host:port] [-www page] [-cert filename] [-key filename] [-reuse] [-new] [-verify depth] [-time seconds] [-ssl3] [-tls1] [-tls1_1] [-tls1_2] [-tls1_3] [-bugs] [-cipher cipherlist] [-ciphersuites val] [-nameopt option] [-cafile file] [-CAfile file] [-no-CAfile] [-CApath dir] [-no-CApath] [-CAstore uri] [-no-CAstore] [-provider name] [-provider_path path]

DESCRIPTION

This command implements a generic SSL/TLS client which connects to a remote host using SSL/TLS. It can request a page from the server and includes the time to transfer the payload data in its timing measurements. It measures the number of connections within a given timeframe, the amount of data transferred (if any), and calculates the average time spent for one connection.

OPTIONS

-help

Print out a usage message.

-connect host:port

This specifies the host and optional port to connect to.

-www page

This specifies the page to GET from the server. A value of '/' gets the index.html page. If this parameter is not specified, then this command will only perform the handshake to establish SSL connections but not transfer any payload data.

-cert certname

The certificate to use, if one is requested by the server. The default is not to use a certificate. The file is in PEM format.

-key keyfile

The private key to use. If not specified then the certificate file will be used. The file is in PEM format.

-verify depth

The verify depth to use. This specifies the maximum length of the server certificate chain and turns on server certificate verification. Currently the verify operation continues after errors so all the problems with a certificate chain can be seen. As a side effect the connection will never fail due to a server certificate verify failure.

-new

Performs the timing test using a new session ID for each connection. If neither -new nor -reuse are specified, they are both on by default and executed in sequence.

-reuse

Performs the timing test using the same session ID; this can be used as a test that session caching is working. If neither -new nor -reuse are specified, they are both on by default and executed in sequence.

-bugs

There are several known bugs in SSL and TLS implementations. Adding this option enables various workarounds.

-cipher cipherlist

This allows the TLSv1.2 and below cipher list sent by the client to be modified. This list will be combined with any TLSv1.3 ciphersuites that have been configured. Although the server determines which cipher suite is used it should take the first supported cipher in the list sent by the client. See -ciphersuites val

This allows the TLSv1.3 ciphersuites sent by the client to be modified. This list will be combined with any TLSv1.2 and below ciphersuites that have been configured. Although the server determines which cipher suite is used it should take the first supported cipher in the list sent by the client. See -time length

Specifies how long (in seconds) this command should establish connections and optionally transfer payload data from a server. Server and client performance and the link speed determine how many connections it can establish.

-nameopt option

This specifies how the subject or issuer names are displayed. See -CAfile file, -no-CAfile, -CApath dir, -no-CApath, -CAstore uri, -no-CAstore

See -provider name

-provider_path path

See -cafile file

This is an obsolete synonym for -CAfile.

-ssl3, -tls1, -tls1_1, -tls1_2, -tls1_3

See NOTES

This command can be used to measure the performance of an SSL connection. To connect to an SSL HTTP server and get the default page the command

 openssl s_time -connect servername:443 -www / -CApath yourdir -CAfile yourfile.pem -cipher commoncipher [-ssl3]

would typically be used (https uses port 443). commoncipher is a cipher to which both client and server can agree, see the openssl-s_client(1) the CA list can be viewed and checked. However some servers only request client authentication after a specific URL is requested. To obtain the list in this case it is necessary to use the -prexit option of BUGS

Because this program does not have all the options of the HISTORY

The -cafile option was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
