Serialize a PFX to an Encoded String

See more PFX/P12 Examples

Demonstrates Pfx.ToEncodedString, which serializes the current PFX contents and returns the PKCS#12 bytes encoded as text using a named encoding.

integer li_rc
integer li_Success
oleobject loo_Pfx
string ls_Password
string ls_OutputPassword
string ls_Encoded

li_Success = 0

loo_Pfx = create oleobject
li_rc = loo_Pfx.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Pfx")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Pfx
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if

//  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.
//  The PFX password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
ls_Password = "myPfxPassword"
li_Success = loo_Pfx.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/identity.pfx",ls_Password)
if li_Success = 0 then
    Write-Debug loo_Pfx.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Pfx
    return
end if

//  Serialize the PFX contents using the given output password and return the PKCS#12 bytes encoded as
//  text.  Common encodings include base64 and hex.
ls_OutputPassword = "myOutputPassword"
ls_Encoded = loo_Pfx.ToEncodedString(ls_OutputPassword,"base64")
if loo_Pfx.LastMethodSuccess = 0 then
    Write-Debug loo_Pfx.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Pfx
