gNOI Certificate Management Client

A simple shell binary that performs Certificate Management client operations against a gNOI Target.

Certificates

Only the Root certificate and private key are required for this client. The client will generate a client certificate and sign target signing requests (CSRs) with it. However this is not recommended for operations where an external signing authority is recommended.

gNOI Certificate Management operations

• -op provision installs a Certificate and CA Bundle on a Target that is in bootstrapping mode, accepting encrypted TLS connections;
• -op install installs a certificate and CA Bundle on a Target where it was already provisioned. Connections are authenticated using TLS;
• -op rotate rotates a certificate on a provisioned Target;
• -op revoke revokes a certificate on a provisioned Target;
• -op get gets all installed certificate on a provisioned Target;
• -op check check if a provisioned target can generate CSRs;
