How to get the SSL certificate details for a specific domain via the command line?

In order to get the SSL information for a specific domain name you can use the openssl command:

echo | openssl s_client -servername yourdomain.com -connect yourdomain.com:443 

This would return a lot of information, which could then filter through and get the information that you need.

Another thing you could do is to put this into a small Bash script and filter through the information that you need only. You could check this Bash SSL checker tool here on GitHub.

The script provides you with the following information:

• The domain name that the SSL certificate has been issued for
• The number of days the SSL certificate expires in:
• The dates when the certificate was issued on and expires on
• The certificate has been issued by:
• Supported TLS versions
• Certificate Fingerprint

In order to download the script, run:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bobbyiliev/bash-ssl-checker-tool/master/ssl

Then to run the script make it executable:

chmod +x ssl

And then run it for your domain name:

./ssl yourdomain.com

The output that you would get will look like this:

The bobbyiliev.com domain name seems valid.
