cbcerthelper

Utility and library for the purpose of assisting in creating certificates and client certificates for use in authentication against Couchbase Server during development/testing.

Using as an application

Building is the usual go thing: go build -o cbcerthelper ./cmd/cbcerthelper/main.go.

What it does:

* Creates a root certificate and key
* Creates a node certificate, certificate request, and key for each node provided
* Copies the node certificate and key to the node over ssh/scp
* Uploads the root certificate to the node and reloads the certificate
* Creates a client certificate that can be used to auth against nodes
* Writes out all the certificates and keys to disk

What it might do:

* If it fails then it might leave your cluster in a weird state where some nodes have certificates and others don't

What it won't do:

* Any attempt at recovery if it fails at any step

Usage

Configuration of the executable is done via a config file (it'll look for $HOME/.cbcerthelper.toml) or cli flags. Parameters are the same in both config file and cli and are:

Name Type Description Example
config string Path to config file ./.cbcerthelper.toml
http-user string Username to use for auth against Couchbase Server MyAdminUser
http-pass string Password to use for auth against Couchbase Server MyAdminPass
ssh-user string Username to use for ssh access to nodes hosting Couchbase Server gary
ssh-pass string Password to use for ssh access to nodes hosting Couchbase Server garyspassword
cert-user string The username for the user that will be authenticating with this client certificate dave
cert-email string The email for the user that will be authenticating with this client certificate dave@davescompany.com
