This is mostly intended to be invoked from cryptsuite, so that I can make test certificates with various features to check the validation function. But it also has a command-line interface, which currently contains just enough features that I was able to generate a certificate and actually make sure OpenSSH accepted it (proving that I got the format right in this script). You _could_ expand this script into a full production CA, with a couple more command-line options, if you didn't mind the slightly awkward requirement that in command-line mode it insists on doing its signing via an SSH agent. But for the moment it's only intended for test purposes.
This is the README for PuTTY, a free Windows and Unix Telnet and SSH
client.
PuTTY is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the
simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in
the source directory:
cmake .
cmake --build .
Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the `doc'
subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. If you aren't using one of our
source snapshots, you'll need to do this yourself. Halibut can be
found at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
The PuTTY home web site is

If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the
Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line
reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as
ours.
