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.

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 using the given output password and return the PKCS#12 bytes encoded as
//  text.  Common encodings include base64 and hex.
string outputPassword = "myOutputPassword";
string encoded = pfx.ToEncodedString(outputPassword,"base64");
if (pfx.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(pfx.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine(encoded);
