simplepki 0.0.6
A simple CLI for making a pki
License: MIT
Requires Python: >=3.6
Keywords: simple pki tools

# simplepki

Simple Public Key Infrastructure intends to provide most of the components needed
to manage a PKI. (With a few missing tools as of right now)

# CLI

Get the CLI:
`pip install simplepki`

> You can pass `--pass` to most of these and it will ask for a passphrase to use to protect the key

### Create the root CA:
```bash
# You can also pass the following through arguments if you do not want to use env variables.
export SP_ROOT=/tmp/simplepki
export SP_CA=root
export SP_CN="Acme Inc. - Root CA"
export SP_ORGANIZATION="Acme Inc."
export SP_ORGANIZATIONAL_UNIT=IT
export SP_COUNTRY=US
export SP_LOCALITY="Agloe"
export SP_PROVINCE="New York"

mkdir $SP_ROOT
simplepki create root
```

### Create a server certificate for blog.acme.com and www.acme.com:
```bash
# You can also pass the following through arguments if you do not want to use env variables.
export SP_ROOT=/tmp/simplepki
export SP_CA=root
export SP_ORGANIZATION="Acme Inc."
export SP_ORGANIZATIONAL_UNIT=IT
export SP_COUNTRY=US
export SP_LOCALITY="Agloe"
export SP_PROVINCE="New York"

simplepki create cert www.acme.com --dns blog.acme.com --dns www.acme.com
```

### Create an intermediate CA:
```bash
# You can also pass the following through arguments if you do not want to use env variables.
export SP_ROOT=/tmp/simplepki
export SP_CA=root
export SP_CN="Acme Inc. - Internal CA"
export SP_INTERMEDIATE=intermedaite
export SP_ORGANIZATION="Acme Inc."
export SP_ORGANIZATIONAL_UNIT=IT
export SP_COUNTRY=US
export SP_LOCALITY="Agloe"
export SP_PROVINCE="New York"

simplepki create intermediate
```

### Create a wildcard certificate for internal use, signed by the intermediate ca:
```bash
# You can also pass the following through arguments if you do not want to use env variables.
export SP_ROOT=/tmp/simplepki
export SP_CA=intermediate
export SP_ORGANIZATION="Acme Inc."
export SP_ORGANIZATIONAL_UNIT=IT
export SP_COUNTRY=US
export SP_LOCALITY="Agloe"
export SP_PROVINCE="New York"

simplepki create cert *.internal.acme.com --dns *.internal.acme.com
```

### After running all the commands above you will end up with this
```text
/tmp/simplepki/
├── [drwxrwxr-x]  intermediate
│   ├── [drwxrwxr-x]  certs
│   │   ├── [-rw-r--r--]  root.cert.pem
│   │   └── [-rw-r--r--]  wildcard_.internal.acme.com.cert.pem
│   └── [drwx------]  private
│       ├── [-r--------]  root.key.pem
│       └── [-r--------]  wildcard_.internal.acme.com.key.pem
└── [drwxrwxr-x]  root
    ├── [drwxrwxr-x]  certs
    │   ├── [-rw-r--r--]  root.cert.pem
    │   └── [-rw-r--r--]  www.acme.com.cert.pem
    └── [drwx------]  private
        ├── [-r--------]  root.key.pem
        └── [-r--------]  www.acme.com.key.pem
```

You will find the generated certificates in `$SP_ROOT/ca_name/certs/` and
private keys in `$SP_ROOT/ca_name/private/`

For more info about available flags, checkout out the help `simplepki -h`.

### Contributions
Contributions are welcome.
Currently we have a few features missing that we would like to add
- client certificate
- publish crl
- sign csr with selected ca
- create csr
- that index.txt log file
- crlnumber file
- serial file
