Examples

1、Generate a certificate authority with specified subject info、valid time and output path with ecdsa algorithm.

easy-ca-cli gen ca --ecdsa --ecdsa-curve P512 \
 --subject "/C=CN/O=Easy CA/OU=IT Dept./CN=Easy CA Root" \
 --start-date "Jan 1 15:00:00 2022" --days 3650 \
 --out-key ca_key.pem --out-cert ca_cert.pem

2、Generate a middle certificate authority using the certificate authority generated above

easy-ca-cli gen ca --ecdsa --ecdsa-curve P384 \
 --subject "/C=CN/O=Easy CA/OU=IT Dept./CN=Easy CA Authority R1" \
 --start-date "Jan 1 15:05:00 2022" --days 1800 \
 --issuer-key ca_key.pem --issuer-cert ca_cert.pem \
 --out-key mca_key.pem --out-cert mca_cert.chain.pem

3、Generate a TLS certificate using the certificate authority generated above

easy-ca-cli gen tls --rsa --rsa-keysize 2048 \
  --subject "/C=CN/O=Easy CA/OU=IT Dept./CN=easy-ca.com" \
  --host "easy-ca.com,www.easy-ca.com,cli.easy-ca.com" \
  --start-date "Jan 1 15:10:00 2022" --days 365 \
  --issuer-key mca_key.pem --issuer-cert mca_cert.chain.pem \
  --out-key easyca_key.pem --out-cert easyca_cert.chain.pem
