This package is auto-updated.

Last update: 2024-04-22 21:03:34 UTC

README

Note this bundle is in active development (it is not ready for the moment).

The ACME protocol is a protocol defined by the Let's Encrypt Certificate Authority. You can see the complete specification on https://letsencrypt.github.io/acme-spec/.

The ACME PHP project aims to implement the ACME protocol in PHP to be able to use it easily in various projects.

This repository is the Symfony bundle based on the PHP library.

Installation

Step 1: Download AcmePhpBundle using composer

Require the acmephp/symfony-bundle with composer Composer.

$ composer require acmephp/symfony-bundle

Step 2: Enable the bundle

Enable the bundle in the kernel:

<?php

// app/AppKernel.php
public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new AcmePhp\Bundle\AcmePhpBundle(),
        // ...
    );
}

Step 3: Configure the AcmePhpBundle

Below is a minimal example of the configuration necessary to use the AcmePhpBundle in your application:

# app/config/config.yml

acme_php:
    contact_email: contact@mycompany.com
    default_distinguished_name:
        country: FR
        state: France
        locality: Paris
        organization_name: MyCompany
        organization_unit_name: IT
    domains:
        myapp.com: ~

Step 4: Import AcmePhpBundle routing files

Now that you have activated and configured the bundle, all that is left to do is import the AcmePhpBundle routing files.

# app/config/routing.yml

acme_php:
    resource: "@AcmePhpBundle/Resources/config/routing.xml"

Usage

Once the bundle is installed and configured, you can request your certificates by runnig the command acmephp:generate

$ ./bin/console acmephp:generate

The first time you run this command, AmePhpBundle will request a new certificate to the configured Certificate Autority (default Letsencrypt) and store the generated certificate in the configured folder (default ~/.acmephp).

Automatic renewal

Each time you run the command acmephp:generate the certificate will be renew with a lifetime of 90 days (defined by the Certificate Autority). You can add a crontab to perform this task.

$ crontab -e

0 0     1 * *     /var/www/my_app/bin/console acmephp:generate

After regenerating a certificate you have to reload the web server to take the changes into account.

If you use a dedicated cron file in /etc/cron.d/ be carrefull of the certificate storage location (configured by default in the $HOME directory) which is related to the user who run the command.

Configuration reference

# app/config/config.yml

acme_php:
    # Certificates locations. Default: `~/.acmephp`
    # Beware to use a directory readable by the web server
    # It should be writable too, to store certificates, keys and challenges.
    certificate_dir: ~/.acmephp
    
    # Certificate Authority used to deliver certificates. Default: `letsencrypt`. Available values : `letsencrypt`
    # You can use your own Certificate Authority by :
    #  - implementing the CertificateAuthorityConfigurationInterface interface
    #  - registering the service with the tag "acme_php.certificate_authority" and with an alias to use here
    certificate_authority: letsencrypt

    # Email addresse associated to the account used to generate certificate
    contact_email: contact@mycompany.com
    
    # Default Distinguished Name (or a DN) informations used to request certificates.
    default_distinguished_name: # https://scotthelme.co.uk/setting-up-le/
        # Country Name (2 letter code)
        country: FR
        
        # State or Province Name (full name)
        state: France
        
        # Locality Name (eg, city)
        locality: Paris
        
        # Organization Name (eg, company)
        organization_name: MyCompany
        
        # Organizational Unit Name (eg, section)
        organization_unit_name: IT
        
        # Email Address. When missing, the adresse defined in the parameter contact_email will be used
        email_address: john.doe@mycompany.com
    
    # List of domains to request
    domains:
    
        myapp.com: ~

        www.myapp.com: ~

        invoice.myapp.com:
            # You can override default distinguished name define above for each domain
            organization_unit_name: sales

Usage

You can both, request and renew a certificate with the single commande

$ bin/console acmephp:generate

The certificates will be stored in the folder defined by the parameter certificate_dir.

$ tree ~/.acmephp
├── account                   # Your account's keys
│   ├── private.pem
│   └── public.pem
├── challenges                # Pending challenges
├── domains                   # Contains all domain's certificate (1 sub directory per domain)
│   ├── company.com           # Contains the certificates for domain `company.com`
│   │   ├── cert.pem          # Server certificate only
│   │   ├── chain.pem         # All certificates that need to be served by the browser **excluding** server certificate
│   │   ├── combined.pem      # All certificates plus private key
│   │   ├── fullchain.pem     # All certificates, **including** server certificate
│   │   ├── private.pem       # Private key for the certificate
│   │   └── public.pem        # Public key for the certificate
│   └── www.company.com
│       └── ...
└── domains-backup            # Previous versions of the certificates
    ├── company.com           # domains as subdirectory
    │   └── 20160314-144416   # each subdirectory is a backup
    │       └── ...
    └── www.company.com
        └── ...

Monitoring

If your application use monolog (which should be the case by default), Acme PHP Symfony Bundle will log in a acme_php channel. By this way, you can handle logs and being notified on renewal failure.

Here is a sample of configuration

# app/config/config.yml

monolog:
    handlers:
        certificate_slack:
            type: slack
            token: # Your slack's token : https://api.slack.com/web
            channel: "#production" # name of the slack's channel
            bot_name: CertificatesBot
            icon_emoji: lock_with_ink_pen
            level: NOTICE
            channels: [acme_php]

Extensions

Certificate Authority: You can add your own certificate authority by implementing the interface AcmePhp\Bundle\Acme\CertificateAuthority\Configuration\CertificateAuthorityConfigurationInterface and adding the service with tag acme_php.certificate_authority as follow :

# app/config/services.yml

services:
    app.custom_certificate_authority:
        class: AppBundle\Acme\CustomConfiguration
        public: false
        tags:
            - name: acme_php.certificate_authority
              alias: custom

You just have to reference it in your configuration

# app/config/config.yml

acme_php:
    certificate_authority: custom

Domain Loader: By default, the bundle loads domain's configurations through the config's file. But, you can add your own loader by implementing the interface AcmePhp\Bundle\Acme\Domain\Loader\LoaderInterface and adding the service with tag acme_php.domains_configurations_loader as follow:

# app/config/services.yml

services:
    app.custom_certificate_authority:
        class: AppBundle\Acme\CustomLoader
        public: false
        tags:
            - name: acme_php.domains_configurations_loader

Certificate Formatter: When a new certificate is requested, it is dumped in several formats (cert.pem, chain.pem, combined.pem, ...). You can add your own formatter by implementing the interface AcmePhp\Bundle\Acme\Certificate\Formatter\FormatterInterface and adding the service with tag acme_php.certificate_formatter as follow:

# app/config/services.yml

services:
    app.custom_certificate_authority:
        class: AppBundle\Acme\CustomFormatter
        public: false
        tags:
            - name: acme_php.certificate_formatter

Events: AcmePhpBundle triggers many events:

  • CERTIFICATE_REQUESTED: When a certificate is requested on renewed
  • CHALLENGE_REQUESTED: When a new challenge is requested
  • CHALLENGE_CHECKED: When the challenge is checked (whether or not it have been accepted)
  • CHALLENGE_ACCEPTED: When the challenge have been accepted
  • CHALLENGE_REJECTED: When the challenge have been rejected

WebServer Configuration sample

Here are some basic configurations for the common web servers.

Mozilla provide a tool to generate more advance configuration: https://mozilla.github.io/server-side-tls/ssl-config-generator/

You can also check your online certificate with this tool: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/

Manual testing

Because Letsencrypt has a rate limiting, We recommends to use Boulder as Certificate Authority. Which is include and fully package in the docker image acmephp/testing-ca

You'll find a micro symfony application in the folder features/fixtures/TestApp.

It allow you to easily test the application. You just have to edit the config file in features/fixtures/TestApp/config/config.yml. Then start Boulder and the symfony's server (to handle challenge requests).

composer install

# Launch boulder
docker run -d --net host acmephp/testing-ca
docker run --rm --net host martin/wait -c localhost:4000 -t 120

# Launche the application to listen to challenge checks
features/fixtures/TestApp/console acmephp:server:start

# Generate the certificate
features/fixtures/TestApp/console acmephp:generate

ls -al features/fixtures/TestApp/certs/domains/*/
