Export a PFX as PEM Text

Demonstrates Pfx.ToPem, which exports all private keys and certificates currently held by the object as PEM-formatted text.

Background. Certificates are written as standard BEGIN CERTIFICATE blocks. This converts PKCS#12 material into the widely used PEM format.

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;
}

//  Export all private keys and certificates currently held by the object as PEM-formatted text.
var pem = pfx.ToPem();
if (pfx.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    console.log(pfx.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log(pem);
