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.

bool success = false;

Chilkat.Pfx pfx = new Chilkat.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.
string password = "myPfxPassword";
success = pfx.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/identity.pfx",password);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(pfx.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Serialize the PFX contents as PKCS#12 data into a BinData, using the given output password.
string outputPassword = "myOutputPassword";
Chilkat.BinData bd = new Chilkat.BinData();
success = pfx.ToBd(outputPassword,bd);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(pfx.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine("Serialized " + Convert.ToString(bd.NumBytes) + " bytes of PKCS#12 data.");
