Access the system certificate store on Windows, macOS and Linux
npm install system-caAccess the system certificate store on Windows, macOS and Linux.
``js
import { systemCertsSync, systemCertsAsync } from 'system-ca';
console.log(systemCertsSync())
console.log(await systemCertsAsync())
tls.connect({
host: 'google.com',
port: 443,
ca: await systemCertsAsync({ includeNodeCertificates: true })
})
`
The systemCertsSync() and systemCertsAsync() functions perform the same
operation, namely, listing all trusted certificates as an array of PEM-formatted
X.509 certificates.
The result can be passed directly to the ca option of tls.connect()
and similar methods.
- Using systemCertsAsync() may be preferable, because accessing thesystemCertsAsync()
system store can be slow, especially on Windows.
- uses a worker thread under the hood on Windows and macOS./etc/ssl
- On Windows and macOS, this package always uses native addons for accessing
the system certificate store.
- On all other platforms, both the async and the sync variant read from the
typical system locations for storing trusted certificates (i.e. , /etc/pki`).
