About

I made this tool to learn more about Python and publishing packages to PyPI. Since I am running my own step-ca server for my private infrastructure, I was looking for a way to easily request certificates for my various services. Basically, I threw a bunch of libraries together and this was the result.

There is probably a better way to do this, but this is what I came up with. Maybe you will find it useful too!

Getting Started

Install / upgrade with pip:

pip install step-cli-tools --upgrade

Start the tool:

sct

The tool should work on the unverified platforms, but they have not been actively tested. User feedback on these systems is welcome!
