13          passphrase        => 's3cr3t s0urc3',

DESCRIPTION

32       This is a role that may be applied to Web::ID::Certificate. It is not
33       consumed by Web::ID::Certificate by default as I was trying to avoid
34       tainting the class with the horror that's found in this role.
35
36       The "import" routine of this package applies the role to
37       Web::ID::Certificate, so it is sufficient to do:
38
39        use Web::ID::Certificate::Generator;
40
41       You don't need to muck around with "apply_all_roles" yourself.
42
43   Constructor
44       "generate(%options)"
45           Generates a brand new WebID-enabled certificate.
46
47   Options
48       The following options can be passed to "generator"
49
50       •   "cert_output"
51
52           A passphrase-protected PKCS12 certificate file is generated as part
53           of the certificate generation process. The PKCS12 file is what
54           you'd typically import into a browser.
55
56           You can pass a scalar reference, in which case the PKCS12 data will
57           be written to that scalar; or a file handle or string file name.
58
59           This is a required option.
60
61       •   "passphrase"
62
63           The password for the PKCS12 file.
64
65           This is a required option.
66
67       •   "rdf_output"
68
69           RDF data is also generated as part of the certificate generation
70           process.
71
72           Again a file handle or string file name can be passed, or an
73           RDF::Trine::Model.
74
75           This is a required option.
76
77       •   "subject_alt_names"
78
79           List of Web::ID::SAN objects to generate the certificate's
80           subjectAltNames field. You want at least one Web::ID::SAN::URI in
81           there.
82
83           This is a required option.
84
85       •   "subject_name"
86
87           The name of the person who will hold the certificate. (e.g. "Alice
88           Smith".)
89
90           This is a required option.
91
92       •   "subject_org"
93
94           The certificate holder's organisation.
95
96           Not required.
97
98       •   "subject_locality"
99
100           The locality (e.g. city) of the certificate holder's address.
101
102           Not required.
103
104       •   "subject_region"
105
106           The region (e.g. state or county) of the certificate holder's
107           address.
108
109           Not required.
110
111       •   "subject_country"
112
113           Two letter ISO code for the country of the certificate holder's
114           address.
115
116           Not required.
117
118       •   "openssl_path"
119
120           The path to the OpenSSL binary. Yes that's right, this role calls
121           the OpenSSL binary via "system" calls. Defaults to automatic
122           discovery via Web::ID::Util::FindOpenSSL.
123
124       •   "key_size"
125
126           Key size in bits. Defaults to 1024. Bigger keys are more secure.
127           Keys bigger than 2048 bits will take a ridiculously long time to
128           generate.  Keys less than 512 bits are pretty poor.
129
130       •   "not_after"
131
132           Date when the certificate should expire, as a DateTime object.
133           Defaults to 365 days.
134

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

136       Generating the private key results in shedloads of nasty crud being
137       spewed out on STDERR.
