CSR

Generate CSR (Certificate Signing Request) using Ruby and OpenSSL.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'csr'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install csr

Usage

require 'csr'

csr = CSR.new(
  country: 'US',
  state: 'CA',
  city: 'San Francisco',
  department: 'Web',
  organization: 'Example Inc.',
  common_name: 'example.com',
  email: '[email protected]'
)

csr.pem
csr.private_key_pem
csr.save_to '/tmp', 'server'
#=> creates /tmp/server.csr and /tmp/server.key

To use a passphrase on your private key, do it like this:

csr = CSR.new(
  country: 'US',
  state: 'CA',
  city: 'San Francisco',
  department: 'Web',
  organization: 'Example Inc.',
  common_name: 'example.com',
  email: '[email protected]',
  passphrase: 'sekret'
)

You can also verifiy CSR.

# If you did not use a passphrase on your private key
CSR.verify?(csr_content, pk_content)

# If you did use a passphrase on your private key
CSR.verify?(csr_content, pk_content, passphrase)
