  • GC-6: As a system integrator, I want to issue server certificates so I can deploy them for use with server applications I use

  • GC-7: As a system integrator, I want to issue client certificates so I can deploy them for use with client applications I use

  • GC-8: As a system integrator, I want to get status of current CA hierarchy and issued certificates so I could determine if I need to take an action

  • GC-9: As a system integrator, I want to renew server or client certificate in order to change the additional naming or renew expigration date

  • GC-10: As a system integrator, I want to be able to see tool’s help in CLI so I can remind myself what commands are available

  • GC-21: As a system integrator, I want to be able to issue certificates using a CSR so I can generate my own private key

• Feature requests:

  • GC-2: Project skeleton

  • GC-3: Ability to initialise CA hierarchy
