### Certificate authority and Certificates
If you have no other way, we would suggest to use easy-rsa for certificate creation. You can get easy-rsa using your distribution package manager or the following git clone
Icinga2 comes with to scripts helping you to create CA and node certificates for you Icinga2 Cluster.
$ git clone https://github.com/OpenVPN/easy-rsa.git
The first step is the creation of CA using
Before you create your CA please add your minium local variables to /easy-rsa/vars
icinga2-build-ca
Please make sure to export a varialbe containing an empty folder for the created CA-files
export ICINGA_CA="/root/icinga-ca"
In the next step you have to create a certificate and a key file for every node using
icinga2-build-key icinga-node-1
If you don't want to fill in all the data multiple times, please export the following variables
* KEY_COUNTRY
* KEY_PROVINCE

* KEY_EMAIL
* KEY_OU
After that you have to export the defined var and clean-up all previously created files
source ./vars
./clean-all
Then you can start CA creation using
./build-ca
After that you can find your ca.crt and ca.key file in the keys directory and can create a server certificate for every node in the cluster using
./build-key <node-name>
Please don't use a passphrase during the certificate creation process.
Icinga 2 needs all certification information in one file which could be easily achieved using
cat <node-name>.crt <node-name>.key > <node-name>.pem
Please create a key-file for every node in the Icinga 2 Cluster and save the CA-Key for additional nodes at a later date
