SCEP test CA¶
certrally scep mock runs a SCEP test CA on your machine, for trying certrally and test scripts without a real SCEP server. Start it in one terminal:
certrally scep mock --challenge demo-challenge --ca-out ca.pem
Request a certificate from another terminal in the same directory:
certrally scep enroll --server http://127.0.0.1:8090/scep --ca-cert ca.pem --challenge demo-challenge --subject CN=device --cert-out device.pem --key-out device.key
The test CA prints the same command when it starts. It listens on 127.0.0.1:8090 (--listen). The printed scep enroll command gives the challenge password with --challenge, names the file of --challenge-file and leaves out a challenge from CERTRALLY_CHALLENGE. It answers GetCACaps, GetCACert, GetCACertChain and PKIOperation with PKCSReq, RenewalReq, CertPoll, GetCert and GetCRL over plain HTTP. Everything it issues lives in memory.
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
--challenge, --challenge-file |
The challenge password a PKCSReq must carry. Without them and CERTRALLY_CHALLENGE, a random one is generated and printed |
--any-challenge |
Issues whatever challenge password a request carries |
--ca-name |
Answers GetCACert only for this CA name |
--ra |
Decrypts requests and signs answers with a separate RA certificate |
--next-ca |
Announces a next CA certificate through GetNextCACert |
--pending-polls N |
Answers every new request with PENDING and issues the certificate at the Nth CertPoll |
--busy-interval |
Answers HTTP 503 without Retry-After to a PKIOperation sent within this time of the previous one |
--caps |
Replaces the GetCACaps answer, such as SHA-1,DES3 for an old CA |
--ca-out |
Saves the GetCACert certificates for --ca-cert |
The test CA prints a line for each request with the operation, the message type, the answer and the reason for a refusal.
