certgen.go

// certgen: a tool for generating test certificates on disk for use as
// test-fixtures and for end-to-end testing and local development.
//
// Example usage:
//
//   $ go run connect/certgen/certgen.go -out-dir /tmp/connect-certs
//
// You can verify a given leaf with a given root using:
//
//   $ openssl verify -verbose -CAfile ca2-ca.cert.pem ca1-svc-db.cert.pem
//
// Note that to verify via the cross-signed intermediate, openssl requires it to
// be bundled with the _root_ CA bundle and will ignore the cert if it's passed
// with the subject. You can do that with:
//
//   $ openssl verify -verbose -CAfile \
//      <(cat ca1-ca.cert.pem ca2-xc-by-ca1.cert.pem) \
//      ca2-svc-db.cert.pem
//   ca2-svc-db.cert.pem: OK
//
// Note that the same leaf and root without the intermediate should fail:
//
//  $ openssl verify -verbose -CAfile ca1-ca.cert.pem ca2-svc-db.cert.pem
//  ca2-svc-db.cert.pem: CN = db
//  error 20 at 0 depth lookup:unable to get local issuer certificate
//
// NOTE: THIS IS A QUIRK OF OPENSSL; in Connect we distribute the roots alone
// and stable intermediates like the XC cert to the _leaf_.
