Serialize a PFX to an Encoded String

See more PFX/P12 Examples

Demonstrates Pfx.ToEncodedString, which serializes the current PFX contents and returns the PKCS#12 bytes encoded as text using a named encoding.

#include <CkPfx.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    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);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << pfx.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    //  Serialize the PFX contents using the given output password and return the PKCS#12 bytes encoded as
    //  text.  Common encodings include base64 and hex.
    const char *outputPassword = "myOutputPassword";
    const char *encoded = pfx.toEncodedString(outputPassword,"base64");
    if (pfx.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
        std::cout << pfx.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    std::cout << encoded << "\r\n";
    }
