(JavaScript) Load Certificate from PFX (PKCS#12)

Loads a digital certificate (and private key, if available) from a PFX file.(also known as PKCS#12)

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();

// Load from the PFX file
var pfxFilename = "/Users/chilkat/testData/pfx/chilkat_ssl_pwd_is_test.pfx";
var pfxPassword = "test";

// A PFX typically contains certificates in the chain of authentication.
// The Chilkat cert object will choose the certificate w/
// private key farthest from the root authority cert.
// To access all the certificates in a PFX, use the 
// Chilkat certificate store object instead.
success = cert.LoadPfxFile(pfxFilename,pfxPassword);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(cert.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Get some information about the digital certificate, 
// then get the private key...

// DN = "Distinguished Name"
console.log("SubjectDN:" + cert.SubjectDN);

console.log("Common Name:" + cert.SubjectCN);
console.log("Issuer Common Name:" + cert.IssuerCN);

console.log("Serial Number:" + cert.SerialNumber);

var privKey = new CkPrivateKey();
success = cert.GetPrivateKey(privKey);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(cert.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// The private key object may be used in any Chilkat methods
// (in other objects/classes) that expect a private key argument.

// In this case, save the private key to a PKCS8 Encrypted PEM format file:
var pemPassword = "secret";
var pemPath = "/Users/chilkat/testData/pem/chilkat_privKey.pem";
success = privKey.SavePkcs8EncryptedPemFile(pemPassword,pemPath);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(privKey.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log("Private key saved to PKCS8 Encrypted PEM...");
