File README.SUSE of Package step-ca

 Quickstart guide
==================

1. initialize a new CA with

$ /usr/sbin/step-ca-init

It is a small wrapper script that calls step ca as the correct user.
You can pass in more arguments an they will be passed to "step ca init"

e.g.

$ /usr/sbin/step-ca-init --ssh --password-file=/etc/step-ca/password.txt

This enables the ssh CA part and reuses an existing password file.

2. store the password in

/etc/step-ca/password.txt

The file should have the following permissions:

root:_step-ca u=rw,g=r,o=

3. If you want to use ACME with your step-ca

sudo -u _step-ca step ca provisioner add acme --type ACME

4. systemctl enable --now step-ca
