Load Certificate from PFX (PKCS#12)

See more Certificates Examples

Loads a digital certificate (and private key, if available) from a PFX file.(also known as PKCS#12) Chilkat2-Python

success = False

cert = chilkat2.Cert()

# Load from the PFX file
pfxFilename = "/Users/chilkat/testData/pfx/chilkat_ssl_pwd_is_test.pfx"

# A PFX typically contains certificates in the chain of authentication.
# The Chilkat cert object will choose the certificate w/
# private key farthest from the root authority cert.
# To access all the certificates in a PFX, use the 
# Chilkat certificate store object instead.
success = cert.LoadPfxFile(pfxFilename,pfxPassword)
if (success == False):
    print(cert.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Get some information about the digital certificate, 
# then get the private key...

# DN = "Distinguished Name"
print("SubjectDN:" + cert.SubjectDN)

print("Common Name:" + cert.SubjectCN)
print("Issuer Common Name:" + cert.IssuerCN)

print("Serial Number:" + cert.SerialNumber)

privKey = chilkat2.PrivateKey()
success = cert.GetPrivateKey(privKey)
if (success == False):
    print(cert.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# The private key object may be used in any Chilkat methods
# (in other objects/classes) that expect a private key argument.

# In this case, save the private key to a PKCS8 Encrypted PEM format file:
pemPassword = "secret"
pemPath = "/Users/chilkat/testData/pem/chilkat_privKey.pem"
success = privKey.SavePkcs8EncryptedPemFile(pemPassword,pemPath)
