Read a PFX Safe-Bag Attribute

See more PFX/P12 Examples

Demonstrates Pfx.GetSafeBagAttr, which reads a recognized safe-bag attribute from a private key or certificate inside the PFX.

The file path is relative to the application's current working directory. An absolute path may also be used. Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.

#include <C_CkPfx.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    BOOL success;
    HCkPfx pfx;
    const char *password;
    BOOL bForPrivateKey;
    const char *friendlyName;

    success = FALSE;

    pfx = CkPfx_Create();

    //  The file path is relative to the application's current working directory.  An absolute path
    //  may also be used.  Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.
    //  The PFX password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
    password = "myPfxPassword";
    success = CkPfx_LoadPfxFile(pfx,"qa_data/identity.pfx",password);
    if (success == FALSE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkPfx_lastErrorText(pfx));
        CkPfx_Dispose(pfx);
        return;
    }

    //  Read a recognized safe-bag attribute from an item inside the PFX.  The 1st argument is TRUE for a
    //  private key or FALSE for a certificate, and the 2nd is the zero-based index within that
    //  collection.
    bForPrivateKey = TRUE;
    friendlyName = CkPfx_getSafeBagAttr(pfx,bForPrivateKey,0,"friendlyName");
    if (CkPfx_getLastMethodSuccess(pfx) == FALSE) {
