This tool assists you in the generation of X.509 certificates and certificate signing requests for use with SSL/TLS in the Elastic stack.
The 'ca' mode generates a new 'certificate authority' This will create a new X.509 certificate and private key that can be used to sign certificate when running in 'cert' mode.
Use the 'ca-dn' option if you wish to configure the 'distinguished name' of the certificate authority
By default the 'ca' mode produces a single PKCS#12 output file which holds: * The CA certificate * The CA's private key
If you elect to generate PEM format certificates (the -pem option), then the output will be a zip file containing individual files for the CA certificate and private key
Please enter the desired output file [elastic-stack-ca.p12]: {①} Enter password for elastic-stack-ca.p12 : {②}
This tool assists you in the generation of X.509 certificates and certificate signing requests for use with SSL/TLS in the Elastic stack.
The 'cert' mode generates X.509 certificate and private keys. * By default, this generates a single certificate and key for use on a single instance. * The '-multiple' option will prompt you to enter details for multiple instances and will generate a certificate and key for each one * The '-in' option allows for the certificate generation to be automated by describing the details of each instance in a YAML file
* An instance is any piece of the Elastic Stack that requires a SSL certificate. Depending on your configuration, Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, and Beats may all require a certificate and private key. * The minimum required value for each instance is a name. This can simply be the hostname, which will be used as the Common Name of the certificate. A full distinguished name may also be used. * A filename value may be required for each instance. This is necessary when the name would result in an invalid file or directory name. The name provided here is used as the directory name (within the zip) and the prefix for the key and certificate files. The filename is required if you are prompted and the name is not displayed in the prompt. * IP addresses and DNS names are optional. Multiple values can be specified as a comma separated string. If no IP addresses or DNS names are provided, you may disable hostname verification in your SSL configuration.
* All certificates generated by this tool will be signed by a certificate authority (CA). * The tool can automatically generate a new CA for you, or you can provide your own with the -ca or -ca-cert command line options.
By default the 'cert' mode produces a single PKCS#12 output file which holds: * The instance certificate * The private key for the instance certificate * The CA certificate
If you specify any of the following options: * -pem (PEM formatted output) * -keep-ca-key (retain generated CA key) * -multiple (generate multiple certificates) * -in (generate certificates from an input file) then the output will be be a zip file containing individual certificate/key files
