Boulder Test Hierarchy
This directory contains certificates which are analogues of Let's Encrypt's active hierarchy. These are useful for ensuring that our tests cover all of our actual situations, such as cross-signed intermediates, cross-signed roots, both RSA and ECDSA roots and intermediates, and having issuance chains with more than one intermediate in them. Also included are a selection of fake end-entity certificates, issued from each of the intermediates. This directory does not include private keys for the roots, as Boulder should never perform any operations which require access to root private keys.
Usage
These certificates (particularly their subject info and public key info) are
subject to change at any time. Values derived from these certificates, such as
their Serial, IssuerID, Fingerprint, or IssuerNameID should never be
hard-coded in tests or mocks. If you need to assert facts about those values
in a test, load the cert from disk and compute those values dynamically.
In general, loading and using one of these certificates for a test might look like:
ee, _ := CA.IssuePrecertificate(...)
cert, _ := core.LoadCert("test/hierarchy/int-e1.cert.pem")
id := issuance.Certificate{Certificate: cert}.NameID()
test.AssertEqual(t, issuance.GetIssuerNameID(ee), id)
