A class to validate SSL certificates

The class provided by this package makes it incredibly easy to query the properties on an ssl certificate. We have three options for fetching a certficate. Here's an example:

use Spatie\SslCertificate\SslCertificate;

// fetch the certificate using an url
$certificate = SslCertificate::createForHostName('spatie.be');

// or from a certificate file
$certificate = SslCertificate::createFromFile($pathToCertificateFile);

// or from a string
$certificate = SslCertificate::createFromString($certificateData);

$certificate->getIssuer(); // returns "Let's Encrypt Authority X3"
$certificate->isValid(); // returns true if the certificate is currently valid
$certificate->validFromDate(); // returns a Carbon instance Carbon
$certificate->expirationDate(); // returns a Carbon instance Carbon
$certificate->lifespanInDays(); // return the amount of days between  validFromDate and expirationDate
$certificate->expirationDate()->diffInDays(); // returns an int
$certificate->getSignatureAlgorithm(); // returns a string
$certificate->getOrganization(); // returns the organization name when available

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require spatie/ssl-certificate

Important notice

Currently this package does not check if the certificate is signed by a trusted authority. We'll add this check soon in a next point release.

Usage

You can create an instance of Spatie\SslCertificate\SslCertificate with this named constructor:

$certificate = SslCertificate::createForHostName('spatie.be');

You can use this fluent style to specify a specific port to connect to.

SslCertificate::download()
   ->usingPort($customPort)
   ->forHost($hostName);

You can also check the certificate on a different IP address using the same style.

SslCertificate::download()
   ->fromIpAddress($ipAddress)
   ->forHost($hostName);

If the given ipAddress is invalid Spatie\SslCertificate\Exceptions\InvalidIpAddress will be thrown.

If the given hostName is invalid Spatie\SslCertificate\Exceptions\InvalidUrl will be thrown.

If the given hostName is valid but there was a problem downloading the certifcate Spatie\SslCertificate\Exceptions\CouldNotDownloadCertificate will be thrown.

Getting the issuer name

$certificate->getIssuer(); // returns "Let's Encrypt Authority X3"

Getting the domain name

Returns the primary domain name for the certificate

$certificate->getDomain(); // returns "spatie.be"

Getting the certificate's signing algorithm

Returns the algorithm used for signing the certificate

$certificate->getSignatureAlgorithm(); // returns "RSA-SHA256"

Getting the certificate's organization

Returns the organization belonging to the certificate

$certificate->getOrganization(); // returns "Spatie BVBA"

Getting the additional domain names

A certificate can cover multiple (sub)domains. Here's how to get them.

$certificate->getAdditionalDomains(); // returns ["spatie.be", "www.spatie.be]

A domain name return with this method can start with * meaning it is valid for all subdomains of that domain.

Getting the fingerprint

$certificate->getFingerprint(); // returns a fingerprint for the certificate

Getting the SHA256 fingerprint

$certificate->getFingerprintSha256(); // returns a SHA256 fingerprint for the certificate

Getting the date when the certificate becomes valid

$certificate->validFromDate(); // returns an instance of Carbon

Getting the expiration date

$certificate->expirationDate(); // returns an instance of Carbon

Determining if the certificate is still valid

Returns true if the current Date and time is between validFromDate and expirationDate.

$certificate->isValid(); // returns a boolean

You also use this method to determine if a given domain is covered by the certificate. Of course it'll keep checking if the current Date and time is between validFromDate and expirationDate.

$certificate->isValid('spatie.be'); // returns true;
$certificate->isValid('laravel.com'); // returns false;

Determining if the certificate is still valid until a given date

Returns true if the certificate is valid and if the expirationDate is after the given date.

$certificate->isValidUntil(Carbon::now()->addDays(7)); // returns a boolean

Determining if the certificate is expired

$certificate->isExpired(); // returns a boolean if expired
