Warning

DEPRECATION WARNING: The Certificates Plugin has been deprecated and will be removed in the P release.

Using the SnakeOil CA plugin

To evaluate Barbican certificate management, you can enable the snakeoil_ca certificate plugin. This is not suitable for production environment, but it can be useful as a development tool.

To do so, you simply need to set enabled_certificate_plugins in barbican.conf.

enabled_certificate_plugins = snakeoil_ca

And then restart your Barbican server. It will automatically generate an in-memory CA to create certificates.
