wopenssl

Simple OpenSSL wrapper for NodeJS.

Notice

This is based on the awesome work of https://github.com/yorkie/node-x509

This project is not yet ready for production and a work in progress.

This project aim to implement OpenSSL commonly used features as a NodeJS module.

Installation

This package works for:

• node >= 4.4.5

From NPM (recommended): npm install wopenssl

Building and testing from source:

sudo npm install -g node-gyp
npm install
npm test

Usage

Reading from a file:

var wopenssl = require('wopenssl');
 
var issuer = wopenssl.x509.getIssuer(__dirname + '/certs/your.crt');

Reading from a string:

var fs = require('fs'),
    wopenssl = require('wopenssl');
 
var issuer = wopenssl.x509.getIssuer(fs.readFileSync('./certs/your.crt').toString());

x509 Methods

Notes:

• cert may be a filename or a raw base64 encoded PEM string in any of these methods.

wopenssl.x509.getAltNames(cert)

Parse certificate with wopenssl.x509.parseCert and return the alternate names.

var wopenssl = require('wopenssl');
 
var altNames = wopenssl.x509.getAltNames(__dirname + '/certs/nodejitsu.com.crt');
/*
altNames = [ '*.nodejitsu.com', 'nodejitsu.com' ]
*/

wopenssl.x509.getIssuer(cert)

Parse certificate with wopenssl.x509.parseCert and return the issuer.

var wopenssl = require('wopenssl');
 
var issuer = wopenssl.x509.getIssuer(__dirname + '/certs/nodejitsu.com.crt');
/*
issuer = { countryName: 'GB',
  stateOrProvinceName: 'Greater Manchester',
  localityName: 'Salford',
  organizationName: 'COMODO CA Limited',
  commonName: 'COMODO High-Assurance Secure Server CA' }
*/

wopenssl.x509.getSubject(cert)

Parse certificate with wopenssl.x509.parseCert and return the subject.

var wopenssl = require('wopenssl');
 
var subject = wopenssl.x509.getSubject(__dirname + '/certs/nodejitsu.com.crt');
/*
subject = { countryName: 'US',
  postalCode: '10010',
  stateOrProvinceName: 'NY',
  localityName: 'New York',
  streetAddress: '902 Broadway, 4th Floor',
  organizationName: 'Nodejitsu',
  organizationalUnitName: 'PremiumSSL Wildcard',
  commonName: '*.nodejitsu.com' }
*/

wopenssl.x509.parseCert(cert)

Parse subject, issuer, valid before and after date, and alternate names from certificate.

var wopenssl = require('wopenssl');
 
var cert = wopenssl.x509.parseCert(__dirname + '/certs/nodejitsu.com.crt');
/*
cert = { subject: 
   { countryName: 'US',
     postalCode: '10010',
     stateOrProvinceName: 'NY',
     localityName: 'New York',
     streetAddress: '902 Broadway, 4th Floor',
     organizationName: 'Nodejitsu',
     organizationalUnitName: 'PremiumSSL Wildcard',
     commonName: '*.nodejitsu.com' },
  issuer: 
   { countryName: 'GB',

  signatureAlgorithm: 'sha1WithRSAEncryption',
  fingerPrint: 'E4:7E:24:8E:86:D2:BE:55:C0:4D:41:A1:C2:0E:06:96:56:B9:8E:EC',
  publicKey: {
    algorithm: 'rsaEncryption',
    e: '65537',
    n: '.......' } }
*/

PKCS#12 Methods

wopenssl.pkcs12.extract

Parse and extract a PKCS#12 file.

var wopenssl = require('wopenssl');
 
var p12 = wopenssl.pkcs12.extract(__dirname + '/p12/cert.p12 + ', 'password');
 
var subject = wopenssl.x509.getSubject(p12.certificate);
 

Examples

Checking the date to make sure the certificate is active:

var wopenssl = require('wopenssl'),
    cert = wopenssl.x509.parseCert('yourcert.crt'),
    date = new Date();
 
if (cert.notBefore > date) {
  // Certificate isn't active yet.
}
if (cert.notAfter < date) {
  // Certificate has expired.
}
