NAME

Crypt::OpenSSL::SignCSR - Sign a Certificate Signing Request in XS.

SYNOPSIS

  use Crypt::OpenSSL::SignCSR;

  my $signer = Crypt::OpenSSL::SignCSR->new(
                                $private_key_pem
                                {   # OPTIONAL
                                    days    => $days,   # Number of days for the certificate
                                    digest  => $digest, # Signature digest default (SHA256)
                                    format  => $format, # Output format "text" or "pem" (default)
                                });
  my $cert   = $signer->sign(
                                $request, # CSR in PEM format
                            );

  my $ret = $signer->set_days(3650);
  my $ret = $signer->set_format("text");
  my $ret = $signer->set_days("SHA512");

  $cert   = $signer->sign( $request ); # CSR in PEM format

DESCRIPTION

Allows a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) to be signed to create a X509 PEM encoded Certificate.

METHODS

sign($csr)

Sign the provided CSR in PEM format.

Returns a signed certificate file in the specified format.

Arguments:

 * $csr - a PEM format Certificate signing request.  You can create one with
 Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS10 or any other product capable of creating a signing request.

set_digest($digest)

Set the digest that should be used for signing the certificate.

Any openssl supported digest can be specified. If the value provided is not a valid it will set the openssl default.

Returns true (1) if successful and false (0) for a failure.

Arguments:

 * $digest - the specified openssl supported digest (ex SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512)

get_digest()

Get the digest that is currently set.

Returns a string

set_format($format)

Set the format that should be used to output the the certificate.

Supported formats are "text" and "pem" (default).

Returns true (1) if successful and false (0) for a failure.

Arguments:

 * $format - the specified output format ("pem", "text")

get_format()

Get the output format that is currently set.

Returns a string

set_days($days)

Set the number of days that the Certificate will be valid. The days can be set via the constructor or modified via set_days()

Returns true (1) if successful and false (0) for a failure.

Arguments:

 * $days - number of days that the certificate will be valid.

get_days()

Get the number of days that is currently set.

Returns the number of days or -1 for a failure.

EXPORT

None by default.
