Requirements

Building the API client library requires:

Java 1.8+
Maven (3.8.3+)/Gradle (7.2+)

Installation

To install the API client library to your local Maven repository, simply execute:

mvn clean install

To deploy it to a remote Maven repository instead, configure the settings of the repository and execute:

mvn clean deploy

Refer to the OSSRH Guide for more information.

Maven users

Add this dependency to your project's POM:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.keyfactor.ejbca</groupId>
  <artifactId>ejbca-java-client-sdk</artifactId>
  <version>1.0</version>
  <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

Gradle users

Add this dependency to your project's build file:

  repositories {
    mavenCentral()     // Needed if the 'ejbca-java-client-sdk' jar has been published to maven central.
    mavenLocal()       // Needed if the 'ejbca-java-client-sdk' jar has been published to the local maven repo.
  }

  dependencies {
     implementation "com.keyfactor.ejbca:ejbca-java-client-sdk:1.0"
  }

Others

At first generate the JAR by executing:

mvn clean package

Then manually install the following JARs:

target/ejbca-java-client-sdk-1.0.jar
target/lib/*.jar

Getting Started

Please follow the installation instruction and execute the following Java code:

// Import classes:
import com.keyfactor.ejbca.client.ApiClient;
import com.keyfactor.ejbca.client.ApiException;
import com.keyfactor.ejbca.client.Configuration;
import com.keyfactor.ejbca.client.model.*;
import com.keyfactor.ejbca.client.api.V1CaApi;

import java.nio.file.Path;

public class Example {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    ApiClient defaultClient = Configuration.getDefaultApiClient();
    // Set base path to EJBCA REST API
    defaultClient.setBasePath("http://localhost/ejbca/ejbca-rest-api");

    // Retrieve client certificate and key
    Path cert = Paths.get("path/to/clientcertificate");
    Path key = Paths.get("path/to/key");
    defaultClient.setClientCert(cert, key);

    V1CaApi apiInstance = new V1CaApi(defaultClient);
    String issuerDn = "issuerDn_example"; // String | the CRL issuers DN (CAs subject DN)
    Boolean deltacrl = false; // Boolean | true to also create the deltaCRL, false to only create the base CRL
    try {
      CreateCrlRestResponse result = apiInstance.createCrl(issuerDn, deltacrl);
      System.out.println(result);
    } catch (ApiException e) {
      System.err.println("Exception when calling V1CaApi#createCrl");
      System.err.println("Status code: " + e.getCode());
      System.err.println("Reason: " + e.getResponseBody());
      System.err.println("Response headers: " + e.getResponseHeaders());
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}
