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}] [--ponly-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

tlsa requires the following python libraries: unbound, m2crypto, argparse and ipaddr

EXAMPLES

typical usage:

tlsa www.fedoraproject.org

tlsa --verify -4 nohats.ca

tlsa --create --insecure fedoraproject.org
