Setup instructions

git clone https://github.com/aditosoftware/nodepki.git
cd nodepki
npm install  

Configure NodePKI

There is an example config file "config.yml.default" which can be copied to "config.yml". Change config.yml to fit your environment. The passwords defined in config.yml will be used to create the PKI.

Start all the things!

Start your API server:

nodejs server.js

CA files in data/mypki will be created on first startup.

API user login

Add new user

nodejs nodepkictl useradd --username user1 --password user1password

Remove user

nodejs nodepkictl userdel --username user1

API usage

For information on how to use the API, read API.md

Using the server via client

Use nodepki-client to request certificates and manage your PKI. If you prefer using a GUI, consider using nodepki-webclient.
