Serialize a PFX to an Encoded String

Demonstrates Pfx.ToEncodedString, which serializes the current PFX contents and returns the PKCS#12 bytes encoded as text using a named encoding.

Background. Common encodings are base64 and hex. This is convenient when the PKCS#12 data must be stored or transmitted as printable text.

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.
//  The PFX password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
var password = "myPfxPassword";
success = pfx.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/identity.pfx",password);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(pfx.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Serialize the PFX contents using the given output password and return the PKCS#12 bytes encoded as
//  text.  Common encodings include base64 and hex.
var outputPassword = "myOutputPassword";
var encoded = pfx.ToEncodedString(outputPassword,"base64");
if (pfx.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    console.log(pfx.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log(encoded);
