See COPYRIGHT/LICENSE. +.\" $OpenLDAP$ +.SH NAME +slapo\-autoca \- Automatic Certificate Authority overlay to slapd +.SH SYNOPSIS +ETCDIR/slapd.conf +.SH DESCRIPTION +The Automatic CA overlay generates X.509 certificate/key pairs for +entries in the directory. The DN of a generated certificate is +identical to the DN of the entry containing it. On startup it +looks for a CA certificate and key in the suffix entry of the +database which it will use to sign all subsequently generated +certificates. A new CA certificate and key will be generated +and stored in the suffix entry if none already exists. The CA +certificate is stored in the cACertificate;binary attribute of +the suffix entry, and the private key is stored in the +cAPrivateKey;binary attribute of the suffix entry. These +attributes may be overwritten if some other CA certificate/key +pair is desired for use. +.LP +Certificates for users and servers are generated on demand using +a Search request returning only the userCertificate;binary and +userPrivateKey;binary attributes. Any Search for anything besides +exactly these two attributes is ignored by the overlay. Note that +these values are stored in ASN.1 DER form in the directory so the +";binary" attribute option is mandatory. +.LP +Entries that do not belong to selected objectClasses will be +ignored by the overlay. By default, entries of objectClass +.B person +will be treated as users, and entries of objectClass +.B ipHost +will be treated as servers. There are slight differences in the +set of X.509V3 certificate extensions added to the certificate +between users and servers. +.LP +The CA's private key is stored in a +.B cAPrivateKey +attribute, and user and server private keys are stored in the +.B userPrivateKey +attribute. The private key values are encoded in PKCS#8 format. +It is essential that access to these attributes be +properly secured with ACLs. Both of these attributes inherit +from the +.B pKCS8PrivateKey +attribute, so it is sufficient to use a single ACL rule like + +.nf + access to attrs=pKCS8PrivateKey by self ssf=128 write +.fi + +at the beginning of the rules. +.LP +Currently there is no automated management for expiration or revocation. +Obsolete certificates and keys must be manually removed by deleting +an entry's userCertificate and userPrivateKey attributes. + +.SH CONFIGURATION +These +.B slapd.conf +options apply to the Automatic CA overlay. +They should appear after the +.B overlay +directive. +.TP +.B userClass <objectClass> +Specify the objectClass to be treated as user entries. +.TP +.B serverClass <objectClass> +Specify the objectClass to be treated as server entries. +.TP +.B userKeybits <integer> +Specify the size of the private key to use for user certificates. +The default is 2048 and the minimum is 512. +.TP +.B serverKeybits <integer> +Specify the size of the private key to use for server certificates. +The default is 2048 and the minimum is 512. +.TP +.B caKeybits <integer> +Specify the size of the private key to use for the CA certificate. +The default is 2048 and the minimum is 512. +.TP +.B userDays <integer> +Specify the duration for a user certificate's validity. +The default is 365, 1 year. +.TP +.B serverDays <integer> +Specify the duration for a server certificate's validity. +The default is 1826, 5 years. +.TP +.B caDays <integer> +Specify the duration for the CA certificate's validity. +The default is 3652, 10 years. +.TP +.B localDN <DN> +Specify the DN of an entry that represents this server. Requests +to generate a certificate/key pair for this DN will also install +the certificate and key into slapd's TLS settings in cn=config +for immediate use. + +.SH EXAMPLES +.nf + database mdb + ... + overlay autoca + caKeybits 4096 +.fi +.SH FILES +.TP +ETCDIR/slapd.conf +default slapd configuration file +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR slapd.conf (5), +.BR slapd\-config (5). +.SH AUTHOR +Howard Chu |
