Export Selected PFX Contents as PEM

See more PFX/P12 Examples

Demonstrates Pfx.ToPemEx, which exports selected PFX contents as PEM-formatted text with control over which parts are included and how private keys are encrypted.

import { 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;
  }

  // Export selected PFX contents as PEM-formatted text.  The boolean arguments control what is
  // included: extended attributes, and whether to omit private keys, certificates, or CA certificates.
  const bExtendedAttrs = false;
  const bNoKeys = false;
  const bNoCerts = false;
  const bNoCaCerts = false;

  // Encrypt the exported private keys.  Supported algorithms include aes128, aes192, aes256, and 3des;
  // leave the algorithm empty for unencrypted keys.  The key password should come from a secure source.
  const keyPassword = 'myKeyPassword';
  let pem: string;
  try {
    pem = pfx.toPemEx(bExtendedAttrs, bNoKeys, bNoCerts, bNoCaCerts, 'aes256', keyPassword);
