srptool(1)                    User Commands                   srptool(1)

NAME         top

       srptool - GnuTLS SRP tool

SYNOPSIS         top

       srptool [-flags] [-flag [value]] [--option-name[[=| ]value]]

       All arguments must be options.

DESCRIPTION         top

       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).

OPTIONS         top

       -d num, --debug=num
              Enable debugging.  This option takes an integer number as
              its argument.  The value of num is constrained to being:
                  in the range 0 through 9999

              Specifies the debug level.

       -i num, --index=num
              This option takes an integer number as its argument.  The
              default number for this option is:
                   3

       -u str, --username=str

       -p str, --passwd=str

       -s num, --salt=num
              This option takes an integer number as its argument.

       --verify
              Verifies the password provided against the password file.

       -v str, --passwd-conf=str
              Specify a filename or a PKCS #11 URL to read the CAs from.

       --create-conf=str
              Generate a password configuration file.

              This generates a password configuration file
              (tpasswd.conf) containing the required for TLS parameters.

       -v arg, --version=arg
              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.

       -h, --help
              Display usage information and exit.

       -!, --more-help
              Pass the extended usage information through a pager.

EXAMPLES         top

       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

EXIT STATUS         top

       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.
