NAME

srptool - Simple SRP password tool

SYNOPSIS

gnutls-srpcrypt [options]

DESCRIPTION

Very simple program that emulates the programs in the Stanford SRP(Secure Remote Password) libraries using GNU TLS.It is intended for use in places where you don't expect SRPauthentication to be the used for system users.

OPTIONS

--bits BITS: specify the number of bits for prime numbers (used only when the--create-conf option is used).
--create-conf FILE: Generate a tpasswd.conf file.
-h, --help: Prints a short reminder of the command line options.
-i, --index INDEX: Specify the index of the parameters in tpasswd.conf to use.
-p, --passwd FILE: Specify a password file.
--passwd-conf FILE: Specify a password configuration file.
-s, --salt SALT: Specify salt/cost size for crypt algorithm.
-u, --username username: Specify username.
--verify: Just verify password.

EXAMPLES

To create tpasswd.conf which holds the g and n values for SRP protocol(generator and a large prime), run:

$ gnutls-srpcrypt --create-conf /etc/tpasswd.conf

This command will create /etc/tpasswd and will add user 'test' (youwill also be prompted for a password). Verifiers are stored by defaultin the way libsrp expects.

$ gnutls-srpcrypt --passwd /etc/tpasswd \    --passwd-conf /etc/tpasswd.conf -u test

This command will check against a password. If the password matchesthe one in /etc/tpasswd you will get an ok.

$ gnutls-srpcrypt --passwd /etc/tpasswd \    --passwd-conf /etc/tpasswd.conf --verify -u test
