(JavaScript) Get Certificate Chain Certs

Demonstrates how to get the certs in the chain of authentication for a certificate loaded from the Windows certificate store.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

var cert = new CkCert();

// This example will get the SSL server certificate for tools.chilkat.io
// which we happen to have locally installed in our Windows certificate store.
success = cert.LoadByCommonName("tools.chilkat.io");
if (success == false) {
    console.log(cert.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

var chain = new CkCertChain();
success = cert.BuildCertChain(chain);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(cert.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

var certInChain = new CkCert();
var numCerts = chain.NumCerts;
var i = 0;
while (i < numCerts) {
    chain.CertAt(i,certInChain);
    console.log((i+1) + ": " + certInChain.SubjectCN);

    // Get this certificate in base64 format
    var b64 = certInChain.GetEncoded();
    console.log(b64);

    i = i+1;
}

// The output of the above code is:
