Dart Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Generate Key and Certificate Signing Request (CSR)

See more CSR Examples

Demonstrates how to generate a new RSA key and a Certificate Signing Request (CSR).

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

Dart

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

void main() {
  // Note: Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

  // This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  // First generate an RSA private key.
  final rsa = CkRsa();

  // Generate a random 2048-bit RSA key.
  final privKey = CkPrivateKey();
  try {
    rsa.genKey(2048, privKey);
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Create the CSR object and set properties.
  final csr = CkCsr();

  // Specify the Common Name.  This is the only required property.
  // For SSL/TLS certificates, this would be the domain name. 
  // For email certificates this would be the email address. 
  csr.commonName = 'mysubdomain.mydomain.com';

  // Country Name (2 letter code)
  csr.country = 'GB';

  // State or Province Name (full name)
  csr.state = 'Yorks';

  // Locality Name (eg, city)
  csr.locality = 'York';

  // Organization Name (eg, company)
  csr.company = 'Internet Widgits Pty Ltd';

  // Organizational Unit Name (eg, secion/division)
  csr.companyDivision = 'IT';

  // Email address
  csr.emailAddress = 'support@mydomain.com';

  // Create the CSR using the private key.
  final String pemStr;
  try {
    pemStr = csr.genCsrPem(privKey);
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Save the private key and CSR to a files.
  privKey.savePkcs8EncryptedPemFile('password', 'qa_output/privKey1.pem');

  final fac = CkFileAccess();
  fac.writeEntireTextFile('qa_output/csr1.pem', pemStr, 'utf-8', false);

  // Show the CSR.
  print(pemStr);

  // Sample output:
  // The CSR PEM can be checked here:
  // https://www.networking4all.com/en/support/tools/csr+check/
  // Copy-and-paste the PEM into the online CSR Decoding / CSR Verification form
