|

self-signed CA.
|
||||
|
||||
## Purpose
|
||||
- This script will always produce a self-signed x509 certificate in the
|
||||
current path with the IP addresses embedded to x509's SAN.

|
||||
This script will always produce a self-signed x509 certificate with the IP
|
||||
addresses embedded to x509's SAN.
|
||||
|
||||
It will also produce a CA certificate and can be used by other services
|
||||
which may need to authenticate against this self-signed certificate.
|
||||
|
||||
The authentication works in a way that a public CA certificate will be
|
||||
used by the client in order to validate the server's certificate.

## Application

### Backend requiring x509 running behind reverse proxy

Minio server enables SSE-C only when it detects the x509 certificates.

Traefik running with docker service provider talks to the backend using

the IP. The IP usually is not static, hence this script comes handy.

## Notes

- The CA certificate will be valid for 3650 days (10 years)

- The server certifcate will be valid for 365 days (1 year)

- The x509 certs are ECDSA with prime256v1 curve and SHA256 signatures
