Python Own Certificate Authority
Project description
Python Own Certificate Authority (ownca)
OwnCA makes easy handle Certificate Authority (CA) and manage certificates for hosts, servers or clients.
An example of high level usage:
>>> from ownca import CertificateAuthority
>>> ca = CertificateAuthority(ca_storage='/opt/CA', common_name='MyCorp CA')
>>> example_com = ca.issue_certificate('www.example.com', dns_names=['www.example.com', 'w3.example.com')
Basically in this three lines steps:
-
Imported the ownca Certificate Authority library
-
Created a new CA named as Corp CA that uses
/opt/CAas CA storage for certificates, keys etc. -
Create a signed certificate by Corp CA server www.mycorp.com, the files are also stored in
/opt/CA/certs/www.example.com.>>> example_com.cert <Certificate(subject=<Name(CN=www.example.com)>, ...)>
