gridworks-cert 0.1.0

gwcert

gwcert

Tools for creating TLS certificates for use with, e.g. MQTT and RabbitMQ.

NOTE: these are temporary tools for non-production deployments. This library is more or less equivalent to a README containing OpenSSL commands, but less manual.

This library is a thin wrapper around ownca, which wraps pyca/cryptography, which wraps the OpenSSL C library. See also tls-gen, a repo from rabbitmq, which performs a similar task using a stack of make/python/OpenSSL CLI.

Features

• Create a local Certificate Authority directory with a self-signed certificate, via gwcert ca create.
