(JavaScript) Import a PFX/P12 into the Windows Certificate Stores

Demonstrates how to import the certificates contained in a .pfx/.p12 to the Windows certificate stores.

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 pfx = new CkPfx();

success = pfx.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/pfx/example.p12","p12Password");
if (success == false) {
    console.log(pfx.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// See the online reference documentation for more information about the ImportToWindows method.

// Mark imported privae keys as exportable.
var exportable = true;

// If userProtected is true, the user is to be notified through a dialog box or other method when certain attempts to use this key are made. 
var userProtected = false;

// If machineKeyset is true, the private keys are stored under the local computer and not under the current user. 
var machineKeyset = false;

// If allowOverwriteKey is true, allow overwrite of the existing key. 
var allowOverwriteKey = false;

// If allowExport is true, then the imported key can later be exported back to a PFX.
// (It also allows for applications to directly access the private key material.)
var allowExport = true;

// Indicate where to import types of certs.
var leafStore = "My";
var intermediateStore = "CertificationAuthority";
var rootStore = "AuthRoot";

success = pfx.ImportToWindows(exportable,userProtected,machineKeyset,allowOverwriteKey,allowExport,leafStore,intermediateStore,rootStore,"");
if (success == false) {
    console.log(pfx.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Show information about the certificates imported
var json = new CkJsonObject();
pfx.GetLastJsonData(json);

json.EmitCompact = false;
console.log(json.Emit());
