Generate a CSR with keyUsage, extKeyUsage, and other Extensions

See more CSR Examples

Demonstrates how to generate a CSR containing a 1.2.840.113549.1.9.14 extensionRequest with the following extensions:

• 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2 enrollCerttypeExtension
• 2.5.29.15 keyUsage
• 2.5.29.37 extKeyUsage
• 2.5.29.14 subjectKeyIdentifier

// Add the following 1.2.840.113549.1.9.14 extensionRequest
// Note: The easiest way to know the content and format of the XML to be added is to examine
// a pre-existing CSR with the same desired extensionRequest.  You can use Chilkat to
// get the extensionRequest from an existing CSR. 

// 
// Here is a sample extension request:

// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

//     <sequence>
//         <sequence>
