TLSA(1)

NAME
tlsa - Create and verify RFC-6698 TLSA DNS records

SYNTAX

tlsa [-h] [--verify] [-create] [--version] [-4] [-6] [--insecure] [--resolv.conf /PATH/TO/RESOLV.CONF] [--port PORT] [--starttls {auto,smtp,imap,pop3,ftp}] [--protocol {tcp,udp,sctp}] [--only-rr] [--rootkey /PATH/TO/ROOT.KEY] [--ca-cert /PATH/TO/CERTSTORE] [--debug] [--quiet] [--certificate CERTIFICATE] [--output {rfc,generic,both}] [--usage {0,1,2,3}] [--selector {0,1}] [-mtype {0,1,2}] hostname

DESCRIPTION

tlsa generates RFC-6698 TLSA DNS records. To generate these records for older nameserver implementations that do not yet support the TLSA record, specify --output generic to output the tlsa data in Generic Record (RFC-3597) format. Records are generated by connecting to the website using SSL and grabbing the (EE) certificate and the CA chain. Depending on the type and selector used, this information is used to generate TLSA records. Currently. tlsa has no AXFR support for en-mass TLSA record generation.

OPTIONS

--create
    Create a TLSA record

--verify
    Verify a TLSA record

--protocol tcp | udp | sctp
    Use a specific transport protocol (default: tcp)

--resolvconf FILE
    Specify a custom resolv.conf file (default: /etc/resolv.conf). Pass empty value (--resolvconf="") to disable default.

--port PORT
    Use specified port (default: 443)

--starttls no | smtp | imap | pop3 | ftp
    Start script type for protocols which need special commands to start a TLS connection. Supported are 'ftp' (port 21), 'smtp' (port 25), 'pop3' (port 110) and 'imap' (port 143). The default selects the type based on the port number. The value 'no' overrides auto detection.

--only-rr
    Only print the DNS TLSA record

--certificate file.crt
    Use specified certificate file, instead of retrieving the certificate from the server. Can be a single cert or a complete chain.

--ca-cert directory
    Use specified directory containing CA bundles for CA validation (default: /etc/pki/tls/certs)

--rootkey filename
    Use specified file to read the DNSSEC root key (in anchor or bind format)

--output rfc | generic | both
    Output format of TLSA record. "TLSA" for rfc, "TYPE52" for generic (default: rfc)

--usage 0 | 1 | 2 | 3
    Usage type: public CA (0), EE match validated by public CA (1), private CA (2), private EE (3) (default: 3)

--selector 0 | 1
    The selector type describes what the type covers - full certificate (0) or public key (1) (default: 0)

--mtype 0 | 1 | 2
    Type of the TLSA data. Exact match on content (0), SHA256 (1) or SHA512 (2) (default: 0)

If neither create or verify is specified, create is used.

REQUIREMENTS
