See more CSR Examples

Demonstrates how to generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) from a pre-existing RSA private key.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

    // This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    var privKey = new chilkat.PrivateKey();

    // Load the private key from a file.

    // formats and sources..)

    var csr = new chilkat.Csr();

    // Specify the Common Name.  This is the only required property.
    // For SSL/TLS certificates, this would be the domain name. 
    // For email certificates this would be the email address.

    // Sample output:
    // The CSR PEM can be checked here:

    // Copy-and-paste the PEM into the online CSR Decoding / CSR Verification form
