srptool - GnuTLS SRP tool
srptool [-flags] [-flag [value]] [--option-name[[=| ]value]]
All arguments must be options.
Simple program that emulates the programs in the Stanford SRP (Secure
Remote Password) libraries using GnuTLS. It is intended for use in
places where you don't expect SRP authentication to be the used for
system users.
In brief, to use SRP you need to create two files. These are the
password file that holds the users and the verifiers associated with
them and the configuration file to hold the group parameters
(called tpasswd.conf).
-d number, --debug=number
Enable debugging. This option takes an integer number as its
argument. The value of number is constrained to being:
in the range 0 through 9999
Specifies the debug level.
-i number, --index=number
specify the index of the group parameters in tpasswd.conf to
use. This option takes an integer number as its argument.
The default number for this option is:
1
-u string, --username=string
specify a username.
-p string, --passwd=string
specify a password file.
-s number, --salt=number
specify salt size. This option takes an integer number as its
argument.
--verify
just verify the password..
Verifies the password provided against the password file.
-v string, --passwd-conf=string
specify a password conf file..
Specify a filename or a PKCS #11 URL to read the CAs from.
--create-conf=string
Generate a password configuration file..
This generates a password configuration file (tpasswd.conf)
containing the required for TLS parameters.
-h, --help
Display usage information and exit.
-!, --more-help
Pass the extended usage information through a pager.
-v [{v|c|n --version [{v|c|n}]}]
Output version of program and exit. The default mode is `v',
a simple version. The `c' mode will print copyright
information and `n' will print the full copyright notice.
To create tpasswd.conf which holds the g and n values for SRP
protocol (generator and a large prime), run:
$ srptool --create-conf /etc/tpasswd.conf
This command will create /etc/tpasswd and will add user 'test' (you
will also be prompted for a password). Verifiers are stored by
default in the way libsrp expects.
$ srptool --passwd /etc/tpasswd --passwd-conf /etc/tpasswd.conf -u test
This command will check against a password. If the password matches
the one in /etc/tpasswd you will get an ok.
$ srptool --passwd /etc/tpasswd --passwd-conf /etc/tpasswd.conf --verify -u test
One of the following exit values will be returned:
0 (EXIT_SUCCESS)
Successful program execution.
1 (EXIT_FAILURE)
The operation failed or the command syntax was not valid.
70 (EX_SOFTWARE)
libopts had an internal operational error. Please report it
