Overview

This demonstrator uses a combination of fabric-ca-client cli, docker and bash scripts acting as a client node connecting to a instance of fabric-ca-server

In this demonstrator, you will find the following artefacts:

• A Dockerfile to help you build an image of fabric-ca-client.
• A Docker Compose file create a running instance of fabric-ca-client container and a running instance of fabric-ca-server container.
• Enroll a registrant who is designated to register a credential (see script registring-admin2.sh);
• Revoke a credential (see script revoke-idenity.sh);
• Perform ad hoc query (see note for technical limitation) of Fabric CA database (see script query.sh)).

NOTE: The Fabric CA server in this case uses sqlite.

The demonstrator has been verified to work on macOS these versions of Hyperledger Fabric components:

How to use this demonstrator

To use it to enroll and register users in the dev network’s Fabric CA server please perform the following steps:

1. git clone https://github.com/fabric-devkit/core-ca and navigate into the core-ca folder.

2. Run the command ./fabricOps.sh start, to instantiate a running Fabric CA client and server. This will open up a cli in the fabric-ca-client container simiilar to this:

   root@ca1a0eb25240:/opt#
   

3. You can: a. registration a credential name admin2 by running the command root@594ed3d57171:/opt# ./scripts/registering-admin2.sh, or b. revoke an identity by running the command root@594ed3d57171:/opt# ./scripts/revoke-identity.sh or c. perform an ad hoc query of the Fabric CA root@594ed3d57171:/opt# ./scripts/query.sh.

4. You can observed the end result of the Fabric CA client interaction with Fabric CA server via these folders:

   a. ./fabric-ca-server folder, this containers the internals of server;

   b. ./fabric-ca-client-home folder, this contains msp at the client ent.
