respond: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
respond takes the challenge from the server and creates a valid response |
| 6 |
to pass back to the server. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Syntax: |
| 9 |
$ ./respond <private key> <challenge> [passphrase] |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Notes: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The private key file is protected by a passphrase, entered when the key is |
| 14 |
created. The passphrase is prompted for whenever respond is called. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Do not use mkkeypair to create a RSA key. The shell script will create it |
| 17 |
without a passphrase. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
If the passphrase is passed on the command line (insecure mode), the |
| 20 |
program will not prompt for a passphrase. This is primarily for running |
| 21 |
rsa_respond from a script. |

Compiling: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Untar the distribution |
| 26 |
Read this document |
| 27 |
Run 'configure' (not so foolproof, tweak the Makefile if necessary) |
| 28 |
...and 'make' |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
libcrypto from OpenSSL must be available in order to use this program. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
System support: |
| 33 |
respond compiles properly, and have been tested on FreeBSD 4.x, Linux glibc, |
| 34 |
Solaris 8, and Cygwin 1.2 or higher. |
