<p>Tool to generate and check DNS resource records for the DANE protocol.

<p>This section was generated by <strong>AutoGen</strong>,
using the <code>agtexi-cmd</code> template and the option descriptions for the <code>danetool</code> program.

<h4 class="subsubheading">danetool help/usage (<samp>--help</samp>)</h4>
<a name="index-danetool-help"></a>

<p>This is the automatically generated usage text for danetool.
</p>
<p>The text printed is the same whether selected with the <code>help</code> option
(<samp>--help</samp>) or the <code>more-help</code> option (<samp>--more-help</samp>).  <code>more-help</code> will print
the usage text by passing it through a pager program.
<code>more-help</code> is disabled on platforms without a working
<code>fork(2)</code> function.  The <code>PAGER</code> environment variable is
used to select the program, defaulting to <samp>more</samp>.  Both will exit
with a status code of 0.

<a name="danetool-x509"></a></p><a name="x509-option"></a>
<h4 class="subsubheading">x509 option</h4>

<p>This is the &ldquo;use the hash of the x.509 certificate, rather than the public key&rdquo; option.
This option forces the generated record to contain the hash of the full X.509 certificate. By default only the hash of the public key is used.
<a name="danetool-local"></a></p><a name="local-option"></a>
<h4 class="subsubheading">local option</h4>

<p>This is an alias for the <code>domain</code> option,
see <a href="#danetool-domain">the domain option documentation</a>.
</p>
<a name="danetool-domain"></a><a name="domain-option"></a>
<h4 class="subsubheading">domain option</h4>

<p>This is the &ldquo;the provided certificate or public key is issued by the local domain&rdquo; option.
</p>
<p>This option has some usage constraints.  It:
</p><ul>
<li> can be disabled with &ndash;no-domain.
</li><li> It is enabled by default.
</li></ul>

<p>DANE distinguishes certificates and public keys offered via the DNSSEC to trusted and local entities. This flag indicates that this is a domain-issued certificate, meaning that there could be no CA involved.
<a name="danetool-local_002ddns"></a></p><a name="local_002ddns-option"></a>
<h4 class="subsubheading">local-dns option</h4>

<p>This is the &ldquo;use the local dns server for dnssec resolving&rdquo; option.
</p>
<p>This option has some usage constraints.  It:
</p><ul>
<li> can be disabled with &ndash;no-local-dns.
</li></ul>

<p>This option will use the local DNS server for DNSSEC.
This is disabled by default due to many servers not allowing DNSSEC.
<a name="danetool-insecure"></a></p><a name="insecure-option"></a>
<h4 class="subsubheading">insecure option</h4>

<p>This is the &ldquo;do not verify any dnssec signature&rdquo; option.
Ignores any DNSSEC signature verification results.
<a name="danetool-inder"></a></p><a name="inder-option-2"></a>
<h4 class="subsubheading">inder option</h4>

<p>This is the &ldquo;use der format for input certificates and private keys&rdquo; option.
</p>
<p>This option has some usage constraints.  It:
</p><ul>
<li> can be disabled with &ndash;no-inder.
</li></ul>

<p>The input files will be assumed to be in DER or RAW format. 
Unlike options that in PEM input would allow multiple input data (e.g. multiple 
certificates), when reading in DER format a single data structure is read.
<a name="danetool-inraw"></a></p><a name="inraw-option-1"></a>

<a name="danetool-print_002draw"></a><a name="print_002draw-option"></a>
<h4 class="subsubheading">print-raw option</h4>

<p>This is the &ldquo;print the received dane data in raw format&rdquo; option.
</p>
<p>This option has some usage constraints.  It:
</p><ul>
<li> can be disabled with &ndash;no-print-raw.
</li></ul>

<p>This option will print the received DANE data.
<a name="danetool-quiet"></a></p><a name="quiet-option"></a>
<h4 class="subsubheading">quiet option</h4>

<p>This is the &ldquo;suppress several informational messages&rdquo; option.
In that case on the exit code can be used as an indication of verification success
<a name="danetool-exit-status"></a></p><a name="danetool-exit-status-1"></a>
<h4 class="subsubheading">danetool exit status</h4>

<p>One of the following exit values will be returned:
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>0 (EXIT_SUCCESS)</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Successful program execution.
</p></dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>1 (EXIT_FAILURE)</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>The operation failed or the command syntax was not valid.

<p>To create a DANE TLSA resource record for a certificate (or public key) 
that was issued localy and may or may not be signed by a CA use the following command.
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">$ danetool --tlsa-rr --host www.example.com --load-certificate cert.pem
</pre></div>

<p>To create a DANE TLSA resource record for a CA signed certificate, which will
be marked as such use the following command.
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">$ danetool --tlsa-rr --host www.example.com --load-certificate cert.pem \
  --no-domain
</pre></div>

<p>The former is useful to add in your DNS entry even if your certificate is signed 
by a CA. That way even users who do not trust your CA will be able to verify your
certificate using DANE.
</p>
<p>In order to create a record for the CA signer of your certificate use the following.
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">$ danetool --tlsa-rr --host www.example.com --load-certificate cert.pem \
  --ca --no-domain
</pre></div>

<p>To read a server&rsquo;s DANE TLSA entry, use:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">$ danetool --check www.example.com --proto tcp --port 443
</pre></div>

<p>To verify a server&rsquo;s DANE TLSA entry, use:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">$ danetool --check www.example.com --proto tcp --port 443 --load-certificate chain.pem
</pre></div>
