Write a PFX to a File

Demonstrates Pfx.ToFile, which serializes the current PFX contents and writes the resulting PKCS#12 data to a file, using the supplied output password.

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. The .pfx and .p12 extensions both denote PKCS#12 files. The output password protects the private keys in the resulting 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.

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 and write the PKCS#12 data to a file, using the given output password.
