=head1 NAME

openssl-sess_id,

sess_id - SSL/TLS session handling utility

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<openssl> B<sess_id>

[B<-help>]

[B<-inform PEM|DER>]

[B<-outform PEM|DER|NSS>]

[B<-in filename>]

[B<-out filename>]

[B<-text>]

[B<-noout>]

[B<-context ID>]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The B<sess_id> process the encoded version of the SSL session structure

and optionally prints out SSL session details (for example the SSL session

master key) in human readable format. Since this is a diagnostic tool that

needs some knowledge of the SSL protocol to use properly, most users will

not need to use it.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item B<-help>

Print out a usage message.

=item B<-inform DER|PEM>

This specifies the input format. The B<DER> option uses an ASN1 DER encoded

format containing session details. The precise format can vary from one version

to the next.  The B<PEM> form is the default format: it consists of the B<DER>

format base64 encoded with additional header and footer lines.

=item B<-outform DER|PEM|NSS>

This specifies the output format. The B<PEM> and B<DER> options have the same meaning

and default as the B<-inform> option. The B<NSS> option outputs the session id and

the master key in NSS keylog format.

=item B<-in filename>

This specifies the input filename to read session information from or standard

input by default.

=item B<-out filename>

This specifies the output filename to write session information to or standard

output if this option is not specified.

=item B<-text>

Prints out the various public or private key components in

plain text in addition to the encoded version.

=item B<-cert>

If a certificate is present in the session it will be output using this option,

if the B<-text> option is also present then it will be printed out in text form.

=item B<-noout>

This option prevents output of the encoded version of the session.

=item B<-context ID>

This option can set the session id so the output session information uses the

supplied ID. The ID can be any string of characters. This option won't normally

be used.

=head1 OUTPUT

Typical output:

 SSL-Session:

     Protocol  : TLSv1

     Cipher    : 0016

     Session-ID: 871E62626C554CE95488823752CBD5F3673A3EF3DCE9C67BD916C809914B40ED

     Session-ID-ctx: 01000000

     Master-Key: A7CEFC571974BE02CAC305269DC59F76EA9F0B180CB6642697A68251F2D2BB57E51DBBB4C7885573192AE9AEE220FACD

     Key-Arg   : None

     Start Time: 948459261

     Timeout   : 300 (sec)

     Verify return code 0 (ok)

These are described below in more detail.

=over 4

=item B<Protocol>

This is the protocol in use TLSv1.3, TLSv1.2, TLSv1.1, TLSv1 or SSLv3.

=item B<Cipher>

The cipher used this is the actual raw SSL or TLS cipher code, see the SSL

or TLS specifications for more information.

=item B<Session-ID>

The SSL session ID in hex format.

=item B<Session-ID-ctx>

The session ID context in hex format.

=item B<Master-Key>

This is the SSL session master key.

=item B<Start Time>

This is the session start time represented as an integer in standard

Unix format.

=item B<Timeout>

The timeout in seconds.

=item B<Verify return code>

This is the return code when an SSL client certificate is verified.

=back

=head1 NOTES

The PEM encoded session format uses the header and footer lines:

 -----BEGIN SSL SESSION PARAMETERS-----

 -----END SSL SESSION PARAMETERS-----

Since the SSL session output contains the master key it is

possible to read the contents of an encrypted session using this

information. Therefore appropriate security precautions should be taken if

the information is being output by a "real" application. This is however

strongly discouraged and should only be used for debugging purposes.

=head1 BUGS

The cipher and start time should be printed out in human readable form.
