    Common questions

    Can I use a Yubikey with step-ca for a homelab certificate authority?

    Yes, step-ca can be used as a homelab CA with ACME support and can be set up with a Yubikey.

    Can step-ca issue SSH certificates instead of managing authorized_keys files?

    Yes, it can delegate SSH authentication by issuing SSH certificates instead of public keys and authorized_keys entries. It can also connect SSH user certificates to an OAuth/OIDC provider for short-lived certificates and MFA.

    Is step-ca a simple option for setting up a home-lab CA?

    It is described as a simple self-hosted CA option because much of the certificate management is handled by the tool.
