Test Keys and Certificates

This folder is dedicated to test keys and certificates provided in multiple formats. Primary use are unit test suites and cross language tests.

test/keys

The files in this directory must never be used on production systems.

SSL Keys and Certificates

create certificates

we use the following parameters for test key and certificate creation

C=US,
ST=Maryland,
L=Forest Hill,
O=The Apache Software Foundation,
OU=Apache Thrift,
CN=localhost/emailAddress=dev@thrift.apache.org

create self-signed server key and certificate

openssl req -new -x509 -nodes  -days 3000 -out server.crt -keyout server.key
openssl x509 -in server.crt -text > CA.pem
cat server.crt server.key > server.pem

Export password is “thrift” without the quotes

openssl pkcs12 -export -clcerts -in server.crt -inkey server.key -out server.p12

create client key and certificate

openssl genrsa -out client.key

create a signing request:

openssl req -new -key client.key -out client.csr

sign the client certificate with the server.key

openssl x509 -req -days 3000 -in client.csr -CA CA.pem -CAkey server.key -set_serial 01 -out client.crt

export certificate in PKCS12 format (Export password is “thrift” without the quotes)

openssl pkcs12 -export -clcerts -in client.crt -inkey client.key -out client.p12

export certificate in PEM format for OpenSSL usage

openssl pkcs12 -in client.p12 -out client.pem -clcerts

create client key and certificate with altnames

copy openssl.cnf from your system e.g. /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf and append following to the end of [ v3_req ]

subjectAltName=@alternate_names

[ alternate_names ]
IP.1=127.0.0.1
IP.2=::1
IP.3=::ffff:127.0.0.1

create a signing request:

openssl req -new -key client_v3.key -out client_v3.csr -config openssl.cnf \
    -subj "/C=US/ST=Maryland/L=Forest Hill/O=The Apache Software Foundation/OU=Apache Thrift/CN=localhost" -extensions v3_req

sign the client certificate with the server.key

openssl x509 -req -days 3000 -in client_v3.csr -CA CA.pem -CAkey server.key -set_serial 01 -out client_v3.crt -extensions v3_req -extfile openssl.cnf

Java key and certificate import

Java Test Environment uses key and trust store password “thrift” without the quotes

list keystore entries

keytool -list -storepass thrift -keystore ../../lib/java/test/.keystore

list truststore entries

keytool -list -storepass thrift -keystore ../../lib/java/test/.truststore

delete an entry

keytool -delete -storepass thrift -keystore ../../lib/java/test/.truststore -alias ssltest

import certificate into truststore

keytool -importcert -storepass thrift -keystore ../../lib/java/test/.truststore -alias localhost --file server.crt

import key into keystore

keytool -importkeystore -storepass thrift -keystore ../../lib/java/test/.keystore -srcstoretype pkcs12 -srckeystore server.p12

Test SSL server and clients

openssl s_client -connect localhost:9090
openssl s_server -accept 9090 -www
