Serialize a PFX to BinData

See more PFX/P12 Examples

Demonstrates Pfx.ToBd, which serializes the current PFX contents as PKCS#12 data into a BinData object, using the supplied output password.

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim pfx As ChilkatPfx
pfx.Initialize

'  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.
Dim password As String = "myPfxPassword"
success = pfx.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/identity.pfx", password)
If success = False Then
    Log(pfx.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


'  Serialize the PFX contents as PKCS#12 data into a BinData, using the given output password.
Dim outputPassword As String = "myOutputPassword"
Dim bd As ChilkatBinData
bd.Initialize
success = pfx.ToBd(outputPassword, bd)
If success = False Then
    Log(pfx.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

Log("Serialized " & bd.NumBytes & " bytes of PKCS#12 data.")
