PyScep 0.0.3

A Python SCEP client and server

PyScep

A Python SCEP Client library to enrol for certificate from a SCEP CA.

Note: It is intended to be used for testing the environments

Getting Started

Prerequisite

Either Generate a Self Signed Certificate or use an existing Certificate issued by CA

Generate a Self Signed Certificate

identity, identity_private_key = Client.SigningRequest.generate_self_signed(
    cn=u'PyScep-test',
    key_usage={u'digital_signature', u'key_encipherment'}
)

Note: this will generate a new RSA Key pair automatically, you can optionally supply a private_key.

Load an Existing Certificate

identity, identity_private_key = Client.Certificate.from_p12_file(
    p12_file='/path/to/cert.p12', 
    password='password'
)

Signing Request

csr, private_key = Client.SigningRequest.generate_csr(
    cn=u'PyScep-test', 
    key_usage={u'digital_signature', u'key_encipherment'}, 
    password='password' 
)

Note: this will generate a new RSA Key pair automatically, you can optionally supply a private_key.

Creating a Client

client = Client.Client(
    'http://<hostname>:<port>/ejbca/publicweb/apply/scep/pkiclient.exe'
)

Above example creates a sample client for EJBCA. Please update the path according to the CA server in use.

Enrollment

res = client.enrol(
    csr=csr,
    identity=identity, 
    identity_private_key=identity_private_key, 
    identifier=identifier ## An optional identifier how CA Server identifies the CA
)

if res.status == PKIStatus.FAILURE:
    print res.fail_info
elif res.status == PKIStatus.PENDING:
    print res.transaction_id
else:
    print res.certificate

Poll

res = client.poll(
    identity=identity,
    identity_private_key=identity_private_key,
    subject=subject,
    transaction_id=transaction_id 
)

Response is same as Enrollment.

Get Certificate

res = client.get_cert(
    identity=identity,
    identity_private_key=identity_private_key,
    serial_number=1234567890
)

Response is same as Enrollment.

CRL

res = client.get_crl(
    identity=identity,
    identity_private_key=identity_private_key, 
    serial_number=1234567890
)

if res.status == PKIStatus.FAILURE:
    print res.fail_info
elif res.status == PKIStatus.PENDING:
    print res.transaction_id
else:
    print res.crl

Get Rollover Certificate

ca_certificate = client.rollover_certificate()
