46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm
49program provides support for the client side of the kernel Sun RPC over TLS
50implementation.
51This daemon must be running for the kernel RPC to be able to do a TLS
52connection to a server for an NFS over TLS mount.
53This daemon requires that the kernel be built with
54.Dq options KERNEL_TLS
55and be running on an architecture such as
56.Dq amd64
57that supports a direct map (not i386) with
58.Xr ktls 4
59enabled.
60.Pp
61If either of the
62.Fl l
63or
64.Fl p
65options have been specified, the daemon will require the server's
66certificate to verify
67and have a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) in it.
68This FQDN must match
69the reverse DNS name for the IP address that
70the server is using for the TCP connection.
71The FQDN may be
72in either the DNS field of the subjectAltName or the CN field of the
73subjectName in the certificate and
74cannot have a wildcard
75.Dq *
76in it.
77.Pp
78If a SIGHUP signal is sent to the daemon it will reload the
79.Dq CRLfile
80and will shut down any extant connections that presented certificates
81during TLS handshake that have been revoked.
82If the
83.Fl r
84option was not specified, the SIGHUP signal will be ignored.
85.Pp
86The daemon will log failed certificate verifications via
87.Xr syslogd 8
88using LOG_INFO | LOG_DAEMON when the
89.Fl l
90or
91.Fl p
92option has been specified.
93.Pp
94The options are as follows:
95.Bl -tag -width indent
96.It Fl 2 , Fl Fl usetls1_2
97Specify the use of TLS version 1.2.
98By default, the client will
99use TLS version 1.3, as required by the RFC.
100However, early
101.Fx
102.Pq 13.0 and 13.1
103servers require
104this option, since they only support TLS version 1.2.
105.It Fl C Ar available_ciphers , Fl Fl ciphers= Ns Ar available_ciphers
106Specify which ciphers are available during TLS handshake.
107If this option is specified,
108.Dq SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
109will be called with
110.Dq available_ciphers
111as the argument.
112If this option is not specified, the cipher will be chosen by
113.Xr ssl 7 ,
114which should be adequate for most cases.
115The format for the available ciphers is a simple
116.So
117:
118.Sc
119separated list, in order of preference.
120The command
121.Dq openssl ciphers -s -tls1_3
122lists available ciphers.
123.It Fl D Ar certdir , Fl Fl certdir= Ns Ar certdir
124Use
125.Dq certdir
126instead of /etc/rpc.tlsclntd for the
127.Fl m
128option.
129.It Fl d , Fl Fl debuglevel
130Run in debug mode.
131In this mode,
132.Nm
133will not fork when it starts.
134.It Fl l Ar CAfile , Fl Fl verifylocs= Ns Ar CAfile
135This specifies the path name of a CAfile which holds the information
136for server certificate verification.
137This path name is used in
138.Dq SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(ctx,CAfile,NULL)
139and
140.Dq SSL_CTX_set0_CA_list(ctx,SSL_load_client_CA_file(CAfile))
141openssl library calls.
142Note that this is a path name for the file and is not assumed to be
143in
144.Dq certdir .
145.It Fl m , Fl Fl mutualverf
146Enable support for mutual authentication.
147A certificate and associated key must be found in /etc/rpc.tlsclntd
148(or the directory specified by the
149.Fl D
150option)
151in case a server requests a peer certificate.
152The first certificate needs to be in a file named
153.Dq cert.pem
154and the associated key in a file named
155.Dq certkey.pem .
156The
157.Xr mount_nfs 8
158option
159.Fl tlscertname
160can be used to override the default certificate for a given
161NFS mount, where the files use the alternate naming specified by the option.
162If there is a passphrase on the
163.Dq certkey.pem
164file, this daemon will prompt for the passphrase during startup.
165The keys for alternate certificates cannot have passphrases.
166.It Fl p Ar CApath , Fl Fl verifydir= Ns Ar CApath
167This option is similar to the
168.Fl l
169option, but specifies the path of a directory with CA
170certificates in it.
171When this option is used,
172.Dq SSL_CTX_set0_CA_list(ctx,SSL_load_client_CA_file())
173is not called, so a list of CA names is not be passed
174to the server during the TLS handshake.
175The openssl documentation indicates this call is rarely needed.
176.It Fl r Ar CRLfile , Fl Fl crl= Ns Ar CRLfile
177This option specifies a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) file
178that is to be loaded into the verify certificate store and
179checked during verification of the server's certificate.
180This option is meaningless unless either the
181.Fl l
182or
183.Fl p
184have been specified.
185.It Fl v , Fl Fl verbose
186Run in verbose mode.
187In this mode,
188.Nm
189will log activity messages to syslog using LOG_INFO | LOG_DAEMON or to
190stderr, if the
191.Fl d
192option has also been specified.

210The

214.Sh BUGS
215This daemon cannot be safely shut down and restarted if there are
216any active RPC-over-TLS connections.
217Doing so will orphan the KERNEL_TLS connections, so that they
218can no longer do upcalls successfully, since the
219.Dq SSL *
220structures in userspace have been lost.
