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:

$sbCsr = new StringBuilder();
try {
    $sbCsr->LoadFile('qa_data/csr/openssl_cnf/CSR.csr', 'utf-8');
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {
    echo "Failed to load CSR.csr\n";
    exit;
}

$csr0 = new Csr();
try {
    $csr0->LoadCsrPem($sbCsr->GetAsString());

    $xml0 = new Xml();
    $csr0->GetExtensionRequest($xml0);
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
    exit;
}

// Let's examine the extension request..
echo $xml0->GetXml(), "\n";
