Load a PFX from an Encoded String

See more PFX/P12 Examples

Demonstrates Pfx.LoadPfxEncoded, which decodes text using a named binary encoding (such as base64) and loads the resulting bytes as a PFX / PKCS#12 container.

#include <C_CkPfx.h>

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

    success = FALSE;

    pfx = CkPfx_Create();

    //  The PFX password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
    password = "myPfxPassword";

    //  Decode the base64 text into PFX / PKCS#12 bytes and load them.  Common encodings include base64
    //  and hex.
    encodedPfx = "MIIKrAIBAzCCCm...base64-encoded-pfx...";
    success = CkPfx_LoadPfxEncoded(pfx,encodedPfx,"base64",password);
    if (success == FALSE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkPfx_lastErrorText(pfx));
        CkPfx_Dispose(pfx);
        return;
    }

    printf("Loaded %d certificate(s).\n",CkPfx_getNumCerts(pfx));


    CkPfx_Dispose(pfx);
