CA_DEFAULT_SUBJECT

[doubledipped]

I wonder if someone could post an example of how to set CA_DEFAULT_SUBJECT in a localsettings.yaml file please?

I am using the latest release via docker-compose and I would really like to be able to set defaults to be used with all certificate profiles but I just can't seem to get the syntax correct. The release notes state that this has been migrated from a dict object to a tuple, but I would really appreciate an example of how to define the subject in an an external yaml file.

Many thanks

Hi @doubledipped !

but I would really appreciate an example of how to define the subject in an an external yaml file.

I could not agree more that this should be part of the documentation, and it's shamefully not. To get you started, here is an example from my config... with a specific override in a dedicated profile:

CA_DEFAULT_SUBJECT:
        - ["O", "DefaultOrg"]
        - ["OU", "Default OrgUnit"]
        - ["OU", "Default OrgUnit 2"]

CA_PROFILES:
  other_profile:
    # other config
    subject:
        - ["O", "MyOrg"]
        - ["OU", "My OrgUnit"]
        - ["OU", "My OrgUnit 2"]

I'll work on properly documenting this properly next, including all more exotic fields.

In the meantime, help your self to this dict for a complete list: https://github.com/mathiasertl/django-ca/blob/1.22.0/ca/django_ca/utils.py#L91 (note: location of this variable will change in a future release).

That's perfect, thank you Mathias. I was struggling to get the yaml format correct, but by following the examples you have kindly provided, it is all working now. Thank you very much for taking the time to respond
