ticketgen

ticketgen.sh is a utility script to generate a valid onboarding ticket for OCS Provider/Consumer Mode. It expects the user to have already generated a public/private RSA key pair to use for signing and validating the onboarding ticket. This directory also includes some example implementations of ticket validation as both a shell script and a Go program.

The following files are included in this directory, run with -h to see the full usage message:

• ticketgen.sh - Generates a new random Consumer ID with an expiration of 48 hours after the ID was generated. It places these values in a JSON struct, generates a signature using the provided private key file, then concatenates them as base64-encoded strings. The output is sent to STDOUT.
• ticketcheck.sh - A sample script showing how to validate an onboarding ticket (as output by ticketgen.sh) using openssl dgst with the provided public key file. It expects the onboarding ticket to be provided as a plain file, defaulting to a file named onboarding_ticket.txt in the same directory.
• ticketcheck.go - Another example of onboarding ticket validation, implemented in Go to showcase the required imports and functions.
