(DataFlex) Get a .pfx/.p12 Safe Bag Attribute

Demonstrates how to get the value of a private key or certificate safe bag attribute. Safe bag attributes are associated with a key or certificate. They are attributes stored in the .p12/.pfx alongside a key or certificate.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.83 or greater.

    // Generate Parsing Code from JSON

    // In the above JSON, we can see the .pfx contains one private key (a pkcs8ShroudedKeyBag) and two certificates (each in a certBag).
    // The certificates in a .pfx/.p12 are typicaly a single certificate with associated private key, along with the other certificates
    // in the chain of authentication.

    // We can see that the private key has 3 safebag attributes: localKeyId, keyContainerName, and msStorageProvider.
    // The certificate associated with the private key contains one safebag attribute: localKeyId.
    // Notice the localKeyId is the same.  The localKeyId helps associate the private key that corresponds to the given certificate.

    // Let's demonstrate the GetSafeBagAttr method:

    // Get each of the private key safebag attributes:
    Move True To iGetPrivateKeyAttr
    Move 0 To iPrivateKeyIdx
    Showln "---- private key safebag attributes ----"
    Get ComGetSafeBagAttr Of hoPfx iGetPrivateKeyAttr iPrivateKeyIdx "localKeyId" To sTemp1
    Showln sTemp1
    Get ComGetSafeBagAttr Of hoPfx iGetPrivateKeyAttr iPrivateKeyIdx "keyContainerName" To sTemp1
    Showln sTemp1
    Get ComGetSafeBagAttr Of hoPfx iGetPrivateKeyAttr iPrivateKeyIdx "storageProvider" To sTemp1
    Showln sTemp1

    // Get the localKeyId attribute for the 1st certificate.
    Move False To iGetPrivateKeyAttr
    Showln "---- cert safebag attributes ----"
    Get ComGetSafeBagAttr Of hoPfx iGetPrivateKeyAttr 0 "localKeyId" To sTemp1
