Access the system certificate store on Windows, macOS and Linux.
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 the system store can be slow, especially on Windows. systemCertsAsync()
uses a worker thread under the hood on Windows and macOS.- 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/ssl
,/etc/pki
).
