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.

    CkPfx 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.
    //  The PFX password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
    const char *password = "myPfxPassword";
    success = pfx.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/identity.pfx",password);
