=head1 NAME
openssl-sess_id - SSL/TLS session handling command
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<openssl> B<sess_id>
[B<-help>]
[B<-inform> B<DER>|B<PEM>]
[B<-outform> B<DER>|B<PEM>|B<NSS>]
[B<-in> I<filename>]
[B<-out> I<filename>]
[B<-text>]
[B<-cert>]
[B<-noout>]
[B<-context> I<ID>]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This command processes 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.
The precise format of the data can vary across OpenSSL versions and
is not documented.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-help>
Print out a usage message.
=item B<-inform> B<DER>|B<PEM>, B<-outform> B<DER>|B<PEM>|B<NSS>
The input and output formats; the default is PEM.
See L<openssl-format-options(1)> for details.
For B<NSS> output, the session ID and master key are reported in NSS "keylog"
format.
=item B<-in> I<filename>
This specifies the input filename to read session information from or standard
input by default.
=item B<-out> I<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> I<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
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.
