Load a PFX from BinData

Demonstrates Pfx.LoadPfxBd, which loads a PFX / PKCS#12 container from the bytes held in a BinData object.

The file path is relative to the application's current working directory. An absolute path may also be used. Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.

Background. This is the in-memory equivalent of LoadPfxFile, for when the PKCS#12 data is already available as bytes rather than in a file.

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.

JavaScript

var success = false;

var pfx = new CkPfx();

//  The file path is relative to the application's current working directory.  An absolute path
//  may also be used.  Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.
//  Load the PFX bytes into a BinData.
var bd = new CkBinData();
var bLoaded = bd.LoadFile("qa_data/identity.pfx");
if (bLoaded !== true) {
    console.log("Failed to load the PFX file.");
    return;
}

//  The PFX password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
var password = "myPfxPassword";

//  Load the PFX / PKCS#12 container from the bytes held in the BinData.
success = pfx.LoadPfxBd(bd,password);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(pfx.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log("Loaded " + pfx.NumCerts + " certificate(s).");
