Components

This work-in-progress app will be a web application to manage a Certificate Authority.

This application is composed of:

• ca-api, a Dropwizard application on the server side;
• ui, an Angular 2 frontend on the client side;
• java-ca-lib, a Java library providing a DSL to simplify the signing and manipulation of SSL certificates.

This last component can be used as a standalone Java library. It comes with its own abstraction layer, and uses both Bouncy Castle API and Java cryptographic APIs.

Using it

Testing it with Docker and docker-compose###

This application comes with three Docker containers:

• a Redis instance,
• an API instance (backend),
• a frontend instance (based on Nginx).

Using docker-compose, you can create the containers with:

docker-compose up

Your web application will be listening on port 80.
