Demonstrates how to convert the .pem files provided by Let's Encrypt to a single PFX.

' This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

' Let's Encrypt provides four .pem files
' 1. fullchain.pem
' 2. privkey.pem
' 3. cert.pem
' 4. chain.pem

' The cert.pem and chain.pem are redundant. 
' The fullchain.pem is composed of the cert.pem and chain.pem.

' To convert the PEM's to a single .pfx, we don't need the redundant data.
' The privkey.pem and fullchain.pem provide the required data.
' We can ignore cert.pem and chain.pem (because those certs are already found in fullchain.pem).

' We need a single .pem file that contains both the private key, the cert,
' and the certs in the chain of authentication.
' Let's combine priveky.pem and fullchain.pem into a single .pem


Dim sbPem As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
Dim success As Boolean = sbPem.LoadFile("qa_data/pem/lets_encrypt/privkey.pem","utf-8")
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine("Failed to load privkey.pem")
    Exit Sub
End If


' To be safe, append a blank line..
sbPem.AppendLine("",False)

Dim sbFullChainPem As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
success = sbFullChainPem.LoadFile("qa_data/pem/lets_encrypt/fullchain.pem","utf-8")
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine("Failed to load fullchain.pem")
    Exit Sub
End If


' Append the full cert chain PEM to the private key PEM.
sbPem.AppendSb(sbFullChainPem)

' Load the combined PEM into a Chilkat PFX object.
Dim pfx As New Chilkat.Pfx
success = pfx.LoadPem(sbPem.GetAsString(),"no password required")
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(pfx.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Write the PFX w/ a password.
Dim pfxPassword As String = "secret"
success = pfx.ToFile(pfxPassword,"qa_output/sample.pfx")
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(pfx.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Debug.WriteLine("Success!")
