Simple X509 certificate parser.
Reading from a file:
var x509 = require('x509');
var issuer = x509.getIssuer(__dirname + '/certs/your.crt');
Reading from a string:
var fs = require('fs'),
x509 = require('x509');
var issuer = x509.getIssuer(fs.readFileSync('./certs/your.crt').toString());
Notes:
cert
may be a filename or a raw base64 encoded PEM string in any of these methods.
Parse certificate with x509.parseCert
and return the alternate names.
var x509 = require('x509');
var altNames = x509.getAltNames(__dirname + '/certs/nodejitsu.com.crt');
/*
altNames = [ '*.nodejitsu.com', 'nodejitsu.com' ]
*/
Parse certificate with x509.parseCert
and return the issuer.
var x509 = require('x509');
var issuer = 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' }
*/
Parse certificate with x509.parseCert
and return the subject.
var x509 = require('x509');
var subject = 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' }
*/
Parse subject, issuer, valid before and after date, and alternate names from certificate.
var x509 = require('x509');
var cert = x509.parseCert(__dirname + '/certs/nodejitsu.com.crt');
/*
