liftCA is a fast, pragmatic and minimalistic web-based TLS certificate management tool.
It was built to simplify the work of generating certificates in an enclosed lab environment where a TLS certificate authority setup is required, but where learning to operate complex TLS tools is not the objective.
Please be sure to understand the security implications of trusting new certificate authorities or certificates within the environment you use liftCA in. Playing with these settings without fully understanding the implications can be dangerous.
liftCA is available in source form at https://github.com/jeanfric/liftca.
To build this tool, install Go (http://golang.org/), clone the repository, place it in your GOPATH
, then run go build
in src/liftca/cmd/liftca
. The resulting liftca
binary can then be started from that directory.
$ git clone https://github.com/jeanfric/liftca
$ export GOPATH="$(pwd)/liftca:$GOPATH"
$ cd liftca/src/liftca/cmd/liftca
$ go get
$ go build
$ ./liftca
