win32-certstore

Build status Gem Version

Ruby library for accessing the certificate store on Microsoft Windows:

Subcommands

This library provides the following features.

Open certificate store

Any valid certificate store can be opened in two ways:

Win32::Certstore.open("Root") do |store|
    //your code should be here!
end

or

store = Win32::Certstore.open("Root")

Add certificate

This method adds a new certificate to an open certificate store.

Input   - Certificate Object (OpenSSL::X509)
Return  - True/False

Notes: The certificate must be passed as an OpenSSL::X509 object.

raw = File.read "C:\GlobalSignRootCA.pem"
certificate_object = OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.new raw

Win32::Certstore.open('Root') do |store|
  store.add(certificate_object)
end

or

raw = File.read "C:\GlobalSignRootCA.pem"
certificate_object = OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.new raw

store = Win32::Certstore.open('Root')
store.add(certificate_object)
store.close

Get certificate

Gets a certificate from an open certificate store and returns it as an OpenSSL::X509 object.

Input   - Certificate thumbprint
Return  - Certificate Object (OpenSSL::X509)

Win32::Certstore.open("Root") do |store|
    store.get(certificate_thumbprint)
end

or

store = Win32::Certstore.open("Root")
store.get(certificate_thumbprint)
store.close

List certificates

Lists all certificates in a certificate store.

Input   - NA
Return  - Certificate List in JSON format.

Win32::Certstore.open("Root") do |store|
    store.list
end

or

store = Win32::Certstore.open("Root")
store.list
store.close

Delete certificate

Deletes a certificate from a certificate store.

Input   - Certificate thumbprint
Return  - True/False

Win32::Certstore.open("Root") do |store|
    store.delete(certificate_thumbprint)
end

or

store = Win32::Certstore.open("Root")
store.delete(certificate_thumbprint)
store.close

Search certificate

Searches for a certificate in an open certificate store.

Input   - Search Token as: Comman name, Friendly name, RDN and other attributes
Return  - Matching certificate list

Win32::Certstore.open("Root") do |store|
    store.search(search_token)
end

or

store = Win32::Certstore.open("Root")
store.search(search_token)
store.close

Validate certificate

Validates a certificate in a certificate store on the basis of time validity.

Input   - Certificate thumbprint
Return  - True/False


Win32::Certstore.open("Root") do |store|
    store.valid?(certificate_thumbprint)
end

or

store = Win32::Certstore.open("Root")
store.valid?(certificate_thumbprint)
store.close

Performing multiple operations

To perform more than one operations with single certificate store object

raw = File.read "C:\GlobalSignRootCA.pem"
certificate_object = OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.new raw

Win32::Certstore.open('Root') do |store|
  store.add(certificate_object)
  store.list
end

or

raw = File.read "C:\GlobalSignRootCA.pem"
certificate_object = OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.new raw

store = Win32::Certstore.open('Root')
store.add(certificate_object)
store.list
store.close
