This section describes how to use @code{gnutls-serv} as a simple HTTPS server. The most basic server can be started as: @example gnutls-serv --http @end example It will only support anonymous ciphersuites, which many TLS clients refuse to use. The next step is to add support for X.509. First we generate a CA: @example $ certtool --generate-privkey > x509-ca-key.pem $ echo 'cn = GnuTLS test CA' > ca.tmpl $ echo 'ca' >> ca.tmpl $ echo 'cert_signing_key' >> ca.tmpl $ certtool --generate-self-signed --load-privkey x509-ca-key.pem \ --template ca.tmpl --outfile x509-ca.pem ... @end example Then generate a server certificate. Remember to change the dns_name value to the name of your server host, or skip that command to avoid the field. @example $ certtool --generate-privkey > x509-server-key.pem $ echo 'organization = GnuTLS test server' > server.tmpl $ echo 'cn = test.gnutls.org' >> server.tmpl $ echo 'tls_www_server' >> server.tmpl $ echo 'encryption_key' >> server.tmpl $ echo 'signing_key' >> server.tmpl $ echo 'dns_name = test.gnutls.org' >> server.tmpl $ certtool --generate-certificate --load-privkey x509-server-key.pem \ --load-ca-certificate x509-ca.pem --load-ca-privkey x509-ca-key.pem \ --template server.tmpl --outfile x509-server.pem ... @end example For use in the client, you may want to generate a client certificate as well. @example $ certtool --generate-privkey > x509-client-key.pem $ echo 'cn = GnuTLS test client' > client.tmpl $ echo 'tls_www_client' >> client.tmpl $ echo 'encryption_key' >> client.tmpl $ echo 'signing_key' >> client.tmpl $ certtool --generate-certificate --load-privkey x509-client-key.pem \ --load-ca-certificate x509-ca.pem --load-ca-privkey x509-ca-key.pem \ --template client.tmpl --outfile x509-client.pem ... @end example To be able to import the client key/certificate into some applications, you will need to convert them into a PKCS#12 structure. This also encrypts the security sensitive key with a password. @example $ certtool --to-p12 --load-ca-certificate x509-ca.pem \ --load-privkey x509-client-key.pem --load-certificate x509-client.pem \ --outder --outfile x509-client.p12 @end example For icing, we'll create a proxy certificate for the client too. @example $ certtool --generate-privkey > x509-proxy-key.pem $ echo 'cn = GnuTLS test client proxy' > proxy.tmpl $ certtool --generate-proxy --load-privkey x509-proxy-key.pem \ --load-ca-certificate x509-client.pem --load-ca-privkey x509-client-key.pem \ --load-certificate x509-client.pem --template proxy.tmpl \ --outfile x509-proxy.pem ... @end example Then start the server again: @example $ gnutls-serv --http \ --x509cafile x509-ca.pem \ --x509keyfile x509-server-key.pem \ --x509certfile x509-server.pem @end example Try connecting to the server using your web browser. Note that the server listens to port 5556 by default. While you are at it, to allow connections using DSA, you can also create a DSA key and certificate for the server. These credentials will be used in the final example below. @example $ certtool --generate-privkey --dsa > x509-server-key-dsa.pem $ certtool --generate-certificate --load-privkey x509-server-key-dsa.pem \ --load-ca-certificate x509-ca.pem --load-ca-privkey x509-ca-key.pem \ --template server.tmpl --outfile x509-server-dsa.pem ... @end example The next step is to create OpenPGP credentials for the server. @example gpg --gen-key ...enter whatever details you want, use 'test.gnutls.org' as name... @end example Make a note of the OpenPGP key identifier of the newly generated key, here it was @code{5D1D14D8}. You will need to export the key for GnuTLS to be able to use it. @example gpg -a --export 5D1D14D8 > openpgp-server.txt gpg --export 5D1D14D8 > openpgp-server.bin gpg --export-secret-keys 5D1D14D8 > openpgp-server-key.bin gpg -a --export-secret-keys 5D1D14D8 > openpgp-server-key.txt @end example Let's start the server with support for OpenPGP credentials: @example gnutls-serv --http \ --pgpkeyfile openpgp-server-key.txt \ --pgpcertfile openpgp-server.txt @end example The next step is to add support for SRP authentication. This requires an SRP password file created with @code{srptool}. To start the server with SRP support: @example gnutls-serv --http \ --srppasswdconf srp-tpasswd.conf \ --srppasswd srp-passwd.txt @end example Let's also start a server with support for PSK. This would require a password file created with @code{psktool}. @example gnutls-serv --http \ --pskpasswd psk-passwd.txt @end example Finally, we start the server with all the earlier parameters and you get this command: @example gnutls-serv --http \ --x509cafile x509-ca.pem \ --x509keyfile x509-server-key.pem \ --x509certfile x509-server.pem \ --x509dsakeyfile x509-server-key-dsa.pem \ --x509dsacertfile x509-server-dsa.pem \ --pgpkeyfile openpgp-server-key.txt \ --pgpcertfile openpgp-server.txt \ --srppasswdconf srp-tpasswd.conf \ --srppasswd srp-passwd.txt \ --pskpasswd psk-passwd.txt @end example _EOF_; };
