This script is useful for quickly generating self-signed CA, server, and client
certificates for use with Asterisk. It is still recommended to obtain
certificates from a recognized Certificate Authority and to develop an
understanding how SSL certificates work. Real security is hard work.
OPTIONS:
-h Show this message
-m Type of cert "client" or "server". Defaults to server.
-f Config filename (openssl config file format)
-c CA cert filename (creates new CA cert/key as ca.crt/ca.key if not passed)
-k CA key filename
-C Common name (cert field)
For a server cert, this should be the same address that clients
attempt to connect to. Usually this will be the Fully Qualified
Domain Name, but might be the IP of the server. For a CA or client
cert, it is merely informational. Make sure your certs have unique
common names.
-O Org name (cert field)
An informational string (company name)
-o Output filename base (defaults to asterisk)
-d Output directory (defaults to the current directory)
Example:
To create a CA and a server (pbx.mycompany.com) cert with output in /tmp:
ast_tls_cert -C pbx.mycompany.com -O "My Company" -d /tmp
This will create a CA cert and key as well as asterisk.pem and the the two
files that it is made from: asterisk.crt and asterisk.key. Copy asterisk.pem
and ca.crt somewhere (like /etc/asterisk) and set tlscertfile=/etc/asterisk.pem
and tlscafile=/etc/ca.crt. Since this is a self-signed key, many devices will
require you to import the ca.crt file as a trusted cert.
To create a client cert using the CA cert created by the example above:
ast_tls_cert -m client -c /tmp/ca.crt -k /tmp/ca.key -C "Joe User" -O \
"My Company" -d /tmp -o joe_user
This will create client.crt/key/pem in /tmp. Use this if your device supports
a client certificate. Make sure that you have the ca.crt file set up as
a tlscafile in the necessary Asterisk configs. Make backups of all .key files
in case you need them later.
