Renew locally issued certificates
=================================
[◀ Go back to main README](../README.md)
🛈 This script can not be used on its own but requires the base installation.
See [main README](../README.md) for details.
Description
-----------
This script renews certificates issued by a local certificate authority (CA).
Optionally the certificates are exported with individual passphrases for
easy pick-up.
Requirements and installation
-----------------------------
Just install the script:
$ScriptInstallUpdate certificate-renew-issued;
Configuration
-------------
The configuration goes to `global-config-overlay`, there is just one
parameter:
* `CertRenewPass`: an array holding individual passphrases for certificates
Usage and invocation
--------------------
Run the script to renew certificates issued from a local CA.
/ system script run certificate-renew-issued;
Only scripts with a remaining lifetime of three weeks or less are renewed.
The old certificate is revoked automatically. If a passphrase for a specific
certificate is given in `CertRenewPass` the certificate is exported and
PKCS#12 file (`cert-issued/CN.p12`) can be found on device's storage.
