this directory holds CA key + wildcard certificates created for new infrastructure the CA key/cert is "ca-cert.pem/key"
TODO:
- create scripts to re-generate client certificates based on NEW CA
- develop procedure to generate client/server certs from template (partialy done)
- develop procedure to generate clr files + revocate certificate + distribute them on public places
- document structure in client/server CERTS - so it can be used to filter HTTPS logins (per project, etc..)
- completely replace OLD CA in whole infrastructure
For new server certificate add [a-z] or [0-9][0-9] ID before the suffix.
sudo apt-get install gnutls-bin
certtool --generate-privkey --outfile ca-key.pem
certtool --generate-self-signed --load-privkey ca-key.pem --outfile ca-cert.pem \
--template gnutls-certtool.CA.template
This asks questions about the usage of the certificate. To get a ten year one I used the following options:
Common name: ca.lab.xxx The certificate will expire in (days): 3650 Does the certificate belong to an authority? (y/N): y Path length constraint (decimal, -1 for no constraint): -1 Will the certificate be used to sign other certificates? (y/N): y
SRVFQDN=wildcard
certtool --generate-privkey --outfile $SRVFQDN.key
certtool --generate-certificate --load-privkey $SRVFQDN.key \
--outfile $SRVFQDN.crt --load-ca-certificate ca-cert.pem \
--load-ca-privkey ca-key.pem \
--template gnutls-certtool.SERVICE.template
The common name needs to be ldap.edu.example.org for the slapd certificate:
Common name: ldap.lab.xxx The certificate will expire in (days): 3650 Will the certificate be used for signing (required for TLS)? (y/N): y Will the certificate be used for encryption (not required for TLS)? (y/N): y
certtool --generate-self-signed --load-privkey ca-key.pem --outfile ca-cert.pem
