Creating certificate to sign GDB on Mac OS X from bash - macos

Question

I am trying to install gdb on Mac OS X by following link1 and link2. This process is done in four steps:
installing gdb using brew install gdb
creating a certificate
sign gdb using codesign -s [cert-name] [your-gdb-location]
How can I automate step 2 in a bash script?

Answer 1

This is my final code (based on here, here and here):
cat > myconfig.cnf << EOF
[ req ]
prompt = no
distinguished_name = my dn
[ my dn ]
# The bare minimum is probably a commonName
commonName = VENTOS
countryName = XX
localityName = Fun Land
organizationName = MyCo LLC LTD INC (d.b.a. OurCo)
organizationalUnitName = SSL Dept.
stateOrProvinceName = YY
emailAddress = ssl-admin#example.com
name = John Doe
surname = Doe
givenName = John
initials = JXD
dnQualifier = some
[ my server exts ]
keyUsage = digitalSignature
extendedKeyUsage = codeSigning
EOF
echo "generating the private key ..."
openssl genrsa -des3 -passout pass:foobar -out server.key 2048
echo ""
echo "generating the CSR (certificate signing request) ..."
openssl req -new -passin pass:foobar -passout pass:foobar -key server.key -out server.csr -config myconfig.cnf -extensions 'my server exts'
echo ""
echo "generating the self-signed certificate ..."
openssl x509 -req -passin pass:foobar -days 6666 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt -extfile myconfig.cnf -extensions 'my server exts'
echo ""
echo "convert crt + RSA private key into a PKCS12 (PFX) file ..."
openssl pkcs12 -export -passin pass:foobar -passout pass:foobar -in server.crt -inkey server.key -out server.pfx
echo ""
echo "importing the certificate ..."
sudo security import server.pfx -k /Library/Keychains/System.keychain -P foobar
Now you can see the certificate listed in System keychains:
To sign gdb
sudo codesign -s VENTOS "$(which gdb)"
