cert-tool

Synopsis

This cert-tool Perl script provides command-line options for generating certs/keys using the OpenSSL command-line tools and config file.

For further module documentation, see cert-tool.html.

Usage

Commands for creating a CA, server certificate, and client certificate:

$ ./cert-tool --create-ca=myca --combined \
    --signing-ca=self

$ ./cert-tool --create-cert=myserver --combined \
    --signing-ca=myca.pem --signing-key=myca.pem

$ ./cert-tool --create-cert=myclient --combined \
    --signing-ca=myca.pem --signing-key=myca.pem

That's it. You should now have your certificates combined with their private keys into PEM files: myca.pem, myserver.pem, and myclient.pem.
