Serialize a PFX to BinData

See more PFX/P12 Examples

Demonstrates Pfx.ToBd, which serializes the current PFX contents as PKCS#12 data into a BinData object, using the supplied output password.

import { BinData, Pfx } from '@chilkat/react-native'

function chilkatExample() {
  const pfx = new Pfx();

  // 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.
  const password = 'myPfxPassword';
  try {
    pfx.loadPfxFile('qa_data/identity.pfx', password);
  } catch {
    console.log(pfx.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Serialize the PFX contents as PKCS#12 data into a BinData, using the given output password.
  const outputPassword = 'myOutputPassword';
  const bd = new BinData();
  try {
    pfx.toBd(outputPassword, bd);
  } catch {
    console.log(pfx.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  console.log(`Serialized ${bd.numBytes} bytes of PKCS#12 data.`);
