certmaster -- it hands out SSL certs from multiple CAs !!!
This certmaster fork introduces a new '--ca' argument for specifying an alternative certificate authority.
This allows one certmaster instance to supply certs from multiple authorities instead of having a separate certmaster instance for each certificate authority you are using.
If you don't want to use multiple CA's, this fork should act just like the parent certmaster project from Fedora - you should be able to upgrade your existing certmaster to this version, and it will continue to server your existing certs.
If you want to add additional certificate authorities, include a section to your certmaster.conf file as per below for each CA, using a different name and set of directories for each CA.
[ca:name]
autosign = yes_or_no
cadir = /path/to/cadir
cert_dir = /path/to/cert_dir
certroot = /path/to/certroot
csrroot = /path/to/csrroot
Then to use the new CA, include the argument '--ca=name' in your list of certmaster-ca arguments to use the 'name' CA.
Likewise, when requesting certs from the new CA, include a section of the following form in your minion.conf file:
[ca:name]
cert_dir = /path/to/cert_dir
Then include the argument '--ca=name' in your certmaster-request commands to request a cert from the 'name' CA.
If the '--ca' argument is not given, then the default CA, as defined by the autosign, cadir, cert_dir, certroot, and csrroot options from the main section of certmaster.conf or minion.conf is used.
This fork introduces some functional tests using the shUnit2 framework.
NOTE THESE TESTS ARE DESTRUCTIVE SO DON'T RUN THEM ON YOUR LIVE CERTMASTER HOST
The tests overwrite the /etc/certmaster/certmaster.conf and /etc/certmaster/minion.conf files, and delete the cert data directories, so only run these tests on a test server / VM / docker image, not on your live production certmaster instance.
- 'certmaster-ca --version' reads /etc/certmaster/version instead of func's version file
- certmaster-sync doesn't error out if func if not present
- switched README to README.md
