1 rsa_respond
2
3 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.
22
23 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.
