shib-keygen
SHIB-KEYGEN(8) Shibboleth SHIB-KEYGEN(8)
NAME
shib-keygen - Generate a key pair for a Shibboleth SP
SYNOPSIS
shib-keygen [-bf] [-e entity-id] [-g group]
[-h hostname] [-o output-dir] [-u user] [-y years]
DESCRIPTION
Generate a self-signed X.509 certificate for a Shibboleth SP. By default, the certificate will be for the local fully-qualified (as
returned by "hostname --fqdn") hostname. An entity ID can be specified with the -e flag. The openssl command-line client is used to
generate the key pair. By default, the public certificate will be created in /etc/shibboleth/sp-cert.pem and the private key in
/etc/shibboleth/sp-key.pem.
OPTIONS
-b Suppress all standard error output when creating the certificate. This option is normally only used by the package build.
-e entity-id
Add entity-id (which should be a URI) as an alternative name for the certificate.
-f Remove /etc/shibboleth/sp-cert.pem and /etc/shibboleth/sp-key.pem before generating a new certificate. Without this option, if those
files already exist, shib-keygen prints an error and exits rather than overwriting them.
-g group
After generating the key and certificate, change the group ownership of the key file to this group. By default, the group used is
"_shibd".
-h hostname
Specify the fully-qualified domain name for which to generate a certificate. If this option isn't given, the hostname defaults to the
result of "hostname --fqdn".
-o output-dir
Store sp-cert.pem and sp-key.pem in the directory output-dir rather than the default of /etc/shibboleth.
-u user
After generating the key and certificate, change the ownership of the key file to this user. This is used to allow the key to be read
by a non-root user so that shibd can be run as a non-root user. By default, the key is owned by "_shibd".
-y years
The number of years for which the certificate should be valid. The default expiration time is ten years into the future.
FILES
/etc/shibboleth/sp-cert.cnf
The OpenSSL configuration file used for generating the self-signed certificate. This configuration file is generated when the script
is run and deleted afterwards.
/etc/shibboelth/sp-cert.pem
The default location of the public certificate created by this script.
/etc/shibboleth/sp-key.pem
The default location of the private key for the certificate created by this script.
These three files are stored in the directory given with -o instead, if that option is given.
