		Description: `**step certificate create** generates a certificate or a
certificate signing request (CSR) that can be signed later using 'step
certificate sign' (or some other tool) to produce a certificate.

By default this command creates x.509 certificates or CSRs for use with TLS. If
you need something else, you can customize the output using templates. See **TEMPLATES** below.

## POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

<subject>
: The subject of the certificate. Typically this is a hostname for services or an email address for people.

<crt_file>
: File to write CRT or CSR to (PEM format)

<key_file>
: File to write private key to (PEM format). This argument is optional if **--key** is passed.

## EXIT CODES

This command returns 0 on success and \>0 if any error occurs.

## TEMPLATES

With templates, you can customize the generated certificate or CSR.
Templates are JSON files representing a [certificate](https://pkg.go.dev/go.step.sm/crypto/x509util?tab=doc#Certificate) [1]
or a [certificate request](https://pkg.go.dev/go.step.sm/crypto/x509util?tab=doc#CertificateRequest) [2].
They use Golang's [<text/template>](https://golang.org/pkg/text/template/) package [3] and
[<Sprig>](https://masterminds.github.io/sprig/) functions [4].

Here's the default template used for generating a leaf certificate:
'''
{
	"subject": {{ toJson .Subject }},
	"sans": {{ toJson .SANs }},
{{- if typeIs "*rsa.PublicKey" .Insecure.CR.PublicKey }}
	"keyUsage": ["keyEncipherment", "digitalSignature"],
{{- else }}
	"keyUsage": ["digitalSignature"],
{{- end }}
	"extKeyUsage": ["serverAuth", "clientAuth"]
}
'''

And this is the default template for a CSR:
'''
{
	"subject": {{ toJson .Subject }},
	"sans": {{ toJson .SANs }}
}
'''

In a custom template, you can change the **subject**, **dnsNames**,
**emailAddresses**, **ipAddresses**, and **uris**, and you can add custom
x.509 **extensions** or set the **signatureAlgorithm**.

For certificate templates, the common extensions **keyUsage**, **extKeyUsage**, and
**basicConstraints** are also represented as JSON fields.

Two variables are available in templates: **.Subject** contains the <subject> argument,
and **.SANs** contains the SANs provided with the **--san** flag.

Both .Subject and .SANs are objects, and they must be converted to JSON to be used in
the template, you can do this using Sprig's **toJson** function. On the .Subject
object you can access the common name string using the template variable
**.Subject.CommonName**. In **EXAMPLES** below, you can see how these
variables are used in a certificate request.

For more information on the template properties and functions see:

## EXAMPLES

Create a CSR and key:

'''
$ step certificate create foo foo.csr foo.key --csr
'''

Create a CSR using an existing private key:

'''
$ step certificate create --csr --key key.priv foo foo.csr
'''

Create a CSR using an existing encrypted private key:

'''
$ step certificate create --csr --key key.priv --password-file key.pass foo foo.csr
'''

Create a CSR and key with custom Subject Alternative Names:

'''
$ step certificate create foo foo.csr foo.key --csr \
  --san inter.smallstep.com --san 1.1.1.1 --san ca.smallstep.com
'''

Create a CSR and key - do not encrypt the key when writing to disk:

'''
$ step certificate create foo foo.csr foo.key --csr --no-password --insecure
'''

Create a root certificate and key:

'''
$ step certificate create root-ca root-ca.crt root-ca.key --profile root-ca
'''

Create an intermediate certificate and key:

'''
$ step certificate create intermediate-ca intermediate-ca.crt intermediate-ca.key \
  --profile intermediate-ca --ca ./root-ca.crt --ca-key ./root-ca.key
'''

Create a leaf certificate and key:

'''
$ step certificate create foo foo.crt foo.key --profile leaf \
  --ca ./intermediate-ca.crt --ca-key ./intermediate-ca.key
'''

Create a leaf certificate and encrypt the private key:

'''
$ step certificate create foo foo.crt foo.key --profile leaf \
   --password-file ./leaf.pass \
   --ca ./intermediate-ca.crt --ca-key ./intermediate-ca.key
'''

Create a leaf certificate and decrypt the CA private key:

'''
$ step certificate create foo foo.crt foo.key --profile leaf \
   --ca ./intermediate-ca.crt --ca-key ./intermediate-ca.key --ca-password-file ./intermediate.pass
'''

Create a leaf certificate and key with custom Subject Alternative Names:

'''
$ step certificate create foo foo.crt foo.key --profile leaf \
  --ca ./intermediate-ca.crt --ca-key ./intermediate-ca.key \
  --san inter.smallstep.com --san 1.1.1.1 --san ca.smallstep.com
'''

Create a leaf certificate and key with custom validity:

'''
$ step certificate create foo foo.crt foo.key --profile leaf \
  --ca ./intermediate-ca.crt --ca-key ./intermediate-ca.key \
  --not-before 24h --not-after 2160h
'''

Create a self-signed leaf certificate and key:

'''
$ step certificate create self-signed-leaf.local leaf.crt leaf.key --profile self-signed --subtle
'''

Create a root certificate and key with underlying OKP Ed25519:

'''
$ step certificate create root-ca root-ca.crt root-ca.key --profile root-ca \
  --kty OKP --curve Ed25519
'''

Create an intermediate certificate and key with underlying EC P-256 key pair:

'''
$ step certificate create intermediate-ca intermediate-ca.crt intermediate-ca.key \
  --profile intermediate-ca --ca ./root-ca.crt --ca-key ./root-ca.key --kty EC --curve P-256
'''

Create a leaf certificate and key with underlying RSA 2048 key pair:

'''
$ step certificate create foo foo.crt foo.key --profile leaf \
  --ca ./intermediate-ca.crt --ca-key ./intermediate-ca.key --kty RSA --size 2048
'''

Create a CSR and key with underlying OKP Ed25519:

'''
$ step certificate create foo foo.csr foo.key --csr --kty OKP --curve Ed25519
'''

Create a root certificate using a custom template. The root certificate will
have a path length constraint that allows at least 2 intermediates:
'''
$ cat root.tpl
{
	"subject": {
		"commonName": "Acme Corporation Root CA"
	},
	"issuer": {
		"commonName": "Acme Corporation Root CA"
	},
	"keyUsage": ["certSign", "crlSign"],
	"basicConstraints": {
		"isCA": true,
		"maxPathLen": 2
	}
}
$ step certificate create --template root.tpl \
  "Acme Corporation Root CA" root_ca.crt root_ca_key
'''

Create an intermediate certificate using the previous root. This intermediate
will be able to sign also new intermediate certificates:
'''
$ cat intermediate.tpl
{
	"subject": {
		"commonName": "Acme Corporation Intermediate CA"
	},
	"keyUsage": ["certSign", "crlSign"],
	"basicConstraints": {
		"isCA": true,
		"maxPathLen": 1
	}
}
$ step certificate create --template intermediate.tpl \
  --ca root_ca.crt --ca-key root_ca_key \
  "Acme Corporation Intermediate CA" intermediate_ca.crt intermediate_ca_key
'''

Sign a new intermediate using the previous intermediate, now with path
length 0 using the **--profile** flag:
'''
$ step certificate create --profile intermediate-ca \
  --ca intermediate_ca.crt --ca-key intermediate_ca_key \
  "Coyote Corporation" coyote_ca.crt coyote_ca_key
'''

Create a leaf certificate, that is the default profile and bundle it with
the two intermediate certificates and validate it:
'''
$ step certificate create --ca coyote_ca.crt --ca-key coyote_ca_key \
  "coyote@acme.corp" leaf.crt coyote.key
$ cat leaf.crt coyote_ca.crt intermediate_ca.crt > coyote.crt
$ step certificate verify --roots root_ca.crt coyote.crt
'''

Create a certificate request using a template:
'''
$ cat csr.tpl
{
    "subject": {
        "country": "US",
        "organization": "Coyote Corporation",
        "commonName": "{{ .Subject.CommonName }}"
    },
	"sans": {{ toJson .SANs }}
}
$ step certificate create --csr --template csr.tpl --san coyote@acme.corp \
  "Wile E. Coyote" coyote.csr coyote.key
'''`,
