  easy-rsa - Simple shell based CA utility

  

Project mention: Running one’s own root Certificate Authority in 2023 | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-16

Easy-rsa to the rescue. Been using it for a while, works great and makes life easier :)

Link: https://github.com/OpenVPN/easy-rsa

Summary from that page:

easy-rsa is a CLI utility to build and manage a PKI CA. In laymen's terms, this means to create a root certificate authority, and request and sign certificates, including intermediate CAs and certificate revocation lists (CRL).

• OpenID

  10 947 9.3 C

  OpenID Certified™ OpenID Connect Relying Party implementation for Apache HTTP Server 2.x

  

Project mention: Keycloak SSO with Docker Compose and Nginx | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-11

I did something similar, though picked Apache with mod_auth_openidc, which is a certified Relying Party implementation: https://github.com/OpenIDC/mod_auth_openidc

In other words, I can protect arbitrary applications through my reverse proxy and require either certain claims/roles, or simplify auth to the point where my downstream app/API will just receive a bunch of headers like OIDC_CLAIM_sub, OIDC_CLAIM_name, OIDC_CLAIM_email through the internal network, not making me bother with configuring OIDC libraries for all of my APIs and configure them in each stack that I might use, but rather contain all of that complexity in the web server.

Basically:

  user <==> Apache (with mod_auth_openidc) <==> API (with OIDC_ headers, if logged in)
