Installation

Run

  • install and configure dependencies: snap, certbot, apache2

  • install asceds:

    echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://cert.mcs.cmu.edu/debian ./" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install asceds

Case 1: Certificate manager

  • initialize the certificate manager: asceds-certmanager-setup -w

  • configure the client (Case 2 below)

  • customize the website:

    • edit the apache2 site configuration file typically in /etc/apache2/sites-available/asceds.conf

    • decide on the authentication and add the right .htaccess (see examples in /usr/share/doc/asceds/examples/site-*)

    • edit the web php configuration in /usr/share/asceds/etc/config.php (see examples in /usr/share/doc/asceds/examples/php-etc)

    • enable the website in apache2: a2ensite asceds

  • add authorizied domains: asceds-authorized-domains -a <domainname>

  • add authorized users: asceds-web-user -a <username>

Case 2: Client

  • install asceds (no need for snap or certbot)

  • get info: certificate manager name, root password/sudo account/password

  • asceds-init -n -s <your.cert.manager>

    -n –> generates a new certificate
