Load a PFX from an Encoded String

Demonstrates Pfx.LoadPfxEncoded, which decodes text using a named binary encoding (such as base64) and loads the resulting bytes as a PFX / PKCS#12 container.

Background. This is useful when the PKCS#12 data has been transported or stored as printable text, such as base64.

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

//  Decode the base64 text into PFX / PKCS#12 bytes and load them.  Common encodings include base64
//  and hex.
var encodedPfx = "MIIKrAIBAzCCCm...base64-encoded-pfx...";
success = pfx.LoadPfxEncoded(encodedPfx,"base64",password);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(pfx.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

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