Set a PFX Safe-Bag Attribute
See more PFX/P12 Examples
Demonstrates Pfx.SetSafeBagAttr, which sets a safe-bag attribute on a private key or certificate inside the PFX.
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. A safe-bag attribute is metadata attached to an item inside a PKCS#12/PFX container; it does not change the certificate or private-key material. Recognized attributes include friendlyName, keyContainerName, keyName, and localKeyId. The encoding argument names the value's binary representation for binary attributes and is ignored for text-valued attributes such as friendlyName.
