Get Certificate CRL Distribution Points

See more Certificates Examples

Demonstrates how to get a certificate's CRL Distribution Points extension data (assuming it exists). In the vast majority of cases, there will be one CRL Distribution Point.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.76 or greater.
