certtool
Generate and manage X.509 certificates, keys, and PKI structures using GnuTLS. More information: https://gnutls.org/manual/gnutls.html#certtool-Invocation.
- Generate a private key and save it to a file:
certtool {{[-p|--generate-privkey]}} --outfile {{path/to/private.key}}
- Generate a self-signed certificate using a private key and a template file:
certtool {{[-s|--generate-self-signed]}} --load-privkey {{path/to/private.key}} --template {{path/to/info.template}} --outfile {{path/to/certificate.crt}}
- Generate a certificate signing request (CSR):
certtool {{[-q|--generate-request]}} --load-privkey {{path/to/private.key}} --template {{path/to/info.template}} --outfile {{path/to/request.csr}}
- Generate a certificate authority (CA) certificate:
certtool {{[-s|--generate-self-signed]}} --load-privkey {{path/to/ca.key}} --template {{path/to/ca.template}} --outfile {{path/to/ca.crt}}
- Verify a certificate against a CA certificate:
certtool --verify --infile {{path/to/certificate.crt}} --load-ca-certificate {{path/to/ca.crt}}
