scion-pki certificate sign

Sign a certificate based on a certificate signing request

Synopsis

‘sign’ creates a certificate based on a certificate signing request (CSR).

The command takes the following positional arguments:

  • is the file path where the PEM-encoded certificate signing request is located.

By default, the command creates a SCION control-plane PKI AS certificate. Another certificate type can be selected by providing the –profile flag. If a certificate chain is desired, specify the –bundle flag.

The –ca and –ca-key flags are required.

The –not-before and –not-after flags can either be a timestamp or a relative time offset from the current time.

A timestamp can be provided in two different formats: unix timestamp and RFC 3339 timestamp. For example, 2021-06-24T12:01:02Z represents 1 minute and 2 seconds after the 12th hour of June 26th, 2021 in UTC.

The relative time offset can be formated as a time duration string with the following units: y, w, d, h, m, s. Negative offsets are also allowed. For example, -1h indicates the time of tool invocation minus one hour. Note that –not-after is relative to the current time if a relative time offset is used, and not to –not-before.

Examples

  scion-pki certificate sign --ca cp-ca.crt --ca-key cp-ca.key cp-as.csr
  scion-pki certificate sign --profile cp-ca --ca cp-root.crt --ca-key cp-root.key cp-ca.csr

Options

      --bundle            Bundle the certificate with the issuer certificate as a certificate chain
      --ca string         The path to the issuer certificate
      --ca-key string     The path to the issuer private key used to sign the new certificate
  -h, --help              help for sign
      --not-after time    The NotAfter time of the certificate. Can either be a timestamp or an offset.
                          
                          If the value is a timestamp, it is expected to either be an RFC 3339 formatted
                          timestamp or a unix timestamp. If the value is a duration, it is used as the
                          offset from the current time. (default depends on profile)
      --not-before time   The NotBefore time of the certificate. Can either be a timestamp or an offset.
                          
                          If the value is a timestamp, it is expected to either be an RFC 3339 formatted
                          timestamp or a unix timestamp. If the value is a duration, it is used as the
                          offset from the current time. (default 0s)
      --profile string    The type of certificate to sign (cp-as|cp-ca) (default "cp-as")
