Roadmap for Easy REST Client (Erce)

[mike-agrenius-kushner]

The Easy REST Client for EJBCA in its first version only supports

• Enrolling with keys
• Enrolling and having the client generate keys
• Revocation

What other features would you like to see? Comment below with your suggestions.

Cheers,
Mike

Not a feature per se, but I would love to have it delivered as a container image, making it a perfect companion to the EJBCA container image! It would make it way easier to consume for people who are unfamiliar with Java's toolchain.

Maybe consider using GitHub's own container registry over at ghcr.io and add a GitHub Action to build and publish a new image there whenever someone merges a pull request?

For example:

name: publish
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - 'main'
jobs:
  publish-container:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Checkout the code from GitHub
      uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - name: Build the container image
      run: docker build -t ghcr.io/keyfactor/erce .
    - name: Log in to the GitHub Container Registry
      uses: docker/login-action@v1
      with:
        registry: ghcr.io
        username: ${{ github.actor }}
        password: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
    - name: Push the container to GitHub's container registry
      run: docker push ghcr.io/keyfactor/erce

Any plans for a stable release, or please share information on release plans?

[mike-agrenius-kushner]

This is a pure community project, so there is no "stable" release planned as such. I'm mainly adding to it on my free time, and gladly taking any pull requests that come in.

Cheers,
Mike

Hello Mike,
I just start playing around with the REST API. I plan to utilize it for replacing the clienttoolbox.
The first unclear thing I detected is the usage of dates within the request "/v2/certificate/search".
The documentation says: "ISO 8601 Date string;"
But just one ISO 8601 format seems to be accepted: yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ
In my opinion it should be documented which formats are accepted. It would be nice if other ISO 8601 formats would be accepted, like yyyy-mm-dd or yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss+01:00

Kind regards,
Torsten

Hi Torsten,

I'd bounce this question towards the EJBCA-CE forums instead.
