django-ca is a small project to manage TLS certificate authorities and easily issue certificates. It is based on cryptography and Django. It can be used as an app in an existing Django project or stand-alone with the basic project included. Certificates can be managed through Djangos admin interface or via manage.py commands - so no webserver is needed, if you’re happy with the command-line.

Documentation is available at https://django-ca.readthedocs.org/.

1. Set up a secure local certificate authority in just a few minutes.
2. Written in Python2.7/Python3.5+, requires Django 1.11 or later.
3. Manage your entire certificate authority from the command line and/or via Djangos admin interface.
4. Get email notifications about certificates about to expire.
5. Certificate validation using Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) and via an included OCSP responder.

Ideas on what we could do for future releases:

1. Add parameter to add generic CRL/OCSP URLs to CAs.
2. Test CRL signing certificates.
3. Only send out one notification if multiple certificates expire for a user.
4. Add ability to automatically regenerate CRLs when a certificate is revoked.
