Carillon Pathfinder

(Version 0.2.4)

What is it?

Pathfinder is designed to provide a mechanism for any program to perform RFC3280-compliant path validation of X.509 certificates, even when some of the intermediate certificates are not present on the local machine. It will automatically download any such certificates (and their CRLs) from the Internet as needed using the AIA and CRL distribution point extensions of the certificates it is processing.

Current Status:

This initial release handles all current cases necessary to support the CertiPath commercial PKI Bridge, as well as more simple hierarchical PKI cases. For more information and instructions on use, please see the README file in the source distribution.

Pathfinder is presently under active development, but as of 0.2.4, is considered stable for production use.

NEW! We have developed a patch for the Stunnel 4.23 Universal SSL Wrapper, which allows it to use Pathfinder for remote certificate validation. This makes it even easier to add complete certificate validity checking to applications and servers that may not even already be SSL-aware. Read more...

NEW! We have developed a patch for the Apache 2.2.8 web server, which allows it to use Pathfinder for client certificate validation. Read more...

NEW! We have developed a patch for the OpenLDAP 2.3.41 LDAP server, which allows it to use Pathfinder for client certificate validation. We also include the Boeing ldap-proxy backend, modified to work with Pathfinder. Read more...

NEW! We have developed a patch for the FreeRADIUS 2.0.1 server, which allows it to use Pathfinder for client X.509 certificate validation during authentication requests. Read more...
