API

The module exports the following functions and objects

• KeyChain: *Handle to the KeyChain constructor function
• KeyGen: *Handle to the underlying ssl-keygen module
• createKeyChain(options): *function returning a new ssl-keychain with specified options
• createKeyGen(options): *function returning a new ssl-keygen with specified options

The following options are available:

• root: *Project root folder will default to process.cwd()
• folder: *The certs folder name default to 'certs'
• incoming: *The folder where incoming certs are stored defaults to 'incoming'
• clearIncoming: *Wheter to delete incoming folder upon startup, default true
• sync: *Wheter to map folders synchronously
• ns: *Array of certificate descriptor objects

Certificate descriptions

Each certificate can be described with the following properties

• type: *Type of the certificate - can be 'ca', 'csr' or 'crt'
• ca: *CA to use when signing cert
• clear: *Wheter to delete previous certs, default false
