Use our free, open-source REST CLI tool for easy interaction with EJBCA or branch it to create your own REST-based client application.
Why You Should Use the Easy REST Client for EJBCA
For automated certificate issuance and a flexible and scalable integration, engineers and security architects should investigate interacting with EJBCA through the available REST API.
The newly released open-source Easy REST Client for EJBCA (ERCE) was developed to make it easier to get started with the REST API for issuing certificates for your application. And with EJBCA’s deployment flexibility, you can start prototyping – and grow flexibly over time.
The Easy REST Client for EJBCA features:
- Fully functional command-line interface app with self-building man function for documentation
- Requires no EJBCA libraries
- Perfect for branching and implementing custom solutions
- Licensed under GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) 2.1
ERCE is a self-contained Maven project.
