Duplicate CSR Created by OpenSSL with Config.cnf

See more CSR Examples

Demonstrates how to duplicate a CSR created by the following commands:
# Generate Private Key
openssl ecparam -name secp256k1 -genkey -noout -out PrivateKey.pem

#Generate CSR
openssl req -new -sha256 -key PrivateKey.pem -extensions v3_req -config Config.cnf -out CSR.csr

-- This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

-- This example duplicates the CSR created by OpenSSL with the following config file:

-- oid_section = OIDs
-- [ OIDs ]
-- certificateTemplateName= 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2
--
-- [ req ]
-- default_bits     = 2048
-- emailAddress     = it@example.sa
-- req_extensions    = v3_req
-- x509_extensions     = v3_ca
-- prompt = no
-- default_md = sha256
-- req_extensions = req_ext
-- distinguished_name = dn
--
-- [ v3_req ]
-- basicConstraints = CA:FALSE
-- keyUsage = digitalSignature, nonRepudiation, keyEncipherment
--
-- [req_ext]
-- certificateTemplateName = ASN1:PRINTABLESTRING:ZATCA-Code-Signing
-- subjectAltName = dirName:alt_names
--
-- [ dn ]
-- CN =EXAMPLE-CORP                  # Common Name
-- C=SA                                    # Country Code e.g SA
-- OU=HEAD-OFFICE                            # Organization Unit Name
-- O=ASC                                    # Organization Name
--
-- [alt_names]
-- SN=1-ASC|2-V01|3-1234567890                # EGS Serial Number 1-ABC|2-PQR|3-XYZ
-- UID=312345678900003                        # Organization Identifier (VAT Number)
-- title=1100                                # Invoice Type
-- registeredAddress=Dammam                   # Address
-- businessCategory=IT                        # Business Category

-- The OpenSSL commands we are duplicating:

-- openssl ecparam -name secp256k1 -genkey -noout -out PrivateKey.pem
-- openssl req -new -sha256 -key PrivateKey.pem -extensions v3_req -config Config.cnf -out CSR.csr

-- The 1st step is to actually use OpenSSL to generate a sample CSR.csr that we wish to duplicate.
-- With the sample CSR.csr, we get the ExtensionRequest as XML.
-- For example:

local sbCsr = chilkat.StringBuilder.new()
local success = sbCsr:load_file("qa_data/csr/openssl_cnf/CSR.csr", "utf-8")
if not success then
    print("Failed to load CSR.csr")
    return
end

local csr0 = chilkat.Csr.new()
success = csr0:load_csr_pem(sbCsr:get_as_string())
if not success then
    print(csr0.last_error_text)
    return
end

local xml0 = chilkat.Xml.new()
success = csr0:get_extension_request(xml0)
if not success then
    print(csr0.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Let's examine the extension request..
print(xml0:get_xml())
