create_server_certificate.sh
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
`create_server_certificate.sh` is a script helping with issuing server certificates that can be used to provide TLS on web servers.
|
|
|
|
It also creates a Certificate Authority (CA) root key and certificate. This CA root certificate can be used to validate the server certificates it generates.
|
|
|
|
For instance, with _curl_:
|
|
|
|
curl --cacert /somewhere/ca-root.crt https://www.example.com/
|
|
|
|
or with _wget_:
|
|
|
|
wget --certificate=/somewhere/ca-root.crt https://www.example.com/
|
|
|
|
or with the python _requests_ module:
|
|
|
|
import requests
|
|
r = requests.get("https://www.example.com", verify="/somewhere/ca-root.crt")
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
### Simple domain
|
|
|
|
Create a server certificate for domain `www.example.com`:
|
|
|
|
./create_server_certificate.sh www.example.com
|
|
|
|
Will produce:
|
|
- `www.example.com.key`
|
|
- `www.example.com.crt`
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Multiple domains
|
|
|
|
Create a server certificate for main domain `www.example.com` and alternative domains `example.com`, `foo.com` and `bar.com`:
|
|
|
|
./create_server_certificate.sh www.example.com foo.com bar.com
|
|
|
|
Will produce:
|
|
- `www.example.com.key`
|
|
- `www.example.com.crt`
|
|
|
|
### Wildcard domain
|
|
|
|
Create a server certificate for wildcard domain `*.example.com`:
|
|
|
|
./create_server_certificate.sh "*.example.com"
|
|
|
|
Note that you need to use quotes around the domain string or the shell would expand `*`.
|
|
|
|
Will produce:
|
|
- `*.example.com.key`
|
|
- `*.example.com.crt`
|
|
|
|
Again, to prevent your shell from expanding `*`, use quotes. i.e.: `cat "*.example.com.crt"`.
|
|
|
|
Such a server certificate would be valid for domains:
|
|
- `foo.example.com`
|
|
- `bar.example.com`
|
|
|
|
but not for domains:
|
|
- `example.com`
|
|
- `foo.bar.example.com`
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Wildcard domain on multiple levels
|
|
|
|
While you can technically create a server certificate for wildcard domain `*.example.com` and alternative name `*.*.example.com`, client implementations generally do not support multiple wildcards in a domain name.
|
|
|
|
For instance, a python script using urllib3 would fail to validate domain `foo.bar.example.com` presenting a certificate with name `*.*.example.com`. It is advised to stay away from producing such certificates.
|
|
|
|
If you want to give it a try:
|
|
|
|
./create_server_certificate.sh "*.example.com" "*.*.example.com"
|
|
|
|
Such a server certificate would be valid for domains:
|
|
- `foo.example.com`
|
|
- `bar.example.com`
|
|
- `foo.bar.example.com`
