Get Certificate User Principal Name (UPN)

See more Certificates Examples

Demonstrates how to get a certificate's UPN from the SAN (Subject Alternative Name). Most certificates do not have a UPN. This example only applies to those certificates that have a User Principal Name.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.90 or greater due to fixes made in getting the UPN from the SAN.

Go

    success := false

    cert := chilkat.NewCert()

    success = cert.LoadFromFile("qa_data/certs/sample.cer")
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(cert.LastErrorText())
        cert.DisposeCert()
        return
    }

    xml := chilkat.NewXml()
    xml.LoadXml(cert.SubjectAlternativeName())
    fmt.Println(*xml.GetXml())

    // A certificate with a User Principal Name in the SAN might have this:

    // <SubjectAltName>
    //     <rfc822Name>joe@example.com</rfc822Name>
    //     <name type="oid" oid="1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2.3">joe@example.com</name>
    // </SubjectAltName>

    // The OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2.3 is for the User Principal Name.
    upn := xml.ChilkatPath("/A/name,oid,1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2.3|*")
    if xml.LastMethodSuccess() == false {
        fmt.Println("No user principle name.")
    } else {
        fmt.Println("User Principle Name = ", *upn)
    }
