Export Selected PFX Contents as PEM

Demonstrates Pfx.ToPemEx, which exports selected PFX contents as PEM-formatted text with control over which parts are included and how private keys are encrypted.

Background. Private keys are written in PKCS #8 form. Supported key-encryption algorithms include aes128, aes192, aes256, and 3des; leaving the algorithm empty produces unencrypted keys.

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);

//  Export selected PFX contents as PEM-formatted text.  The boolean arguments control what is
//  included: extended attributes, and whether to omit private keys, certificates, or CA certificates.

//  Encrypt the exported private keys.  Supported algorithms include aes128, aes192, aes256, and 3des;
//  leave the algorithm empty for unencrypted keys.  The key password should come from a secure source.
