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.

Dim success As Long
success = 0

Dim pfx As New ChilkatPfx

'  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.
Dim password As String
password = "myPfxPassword"
success = pfx.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/identity.pfx",password)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print pfx.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

'  Serialize the PFX contents as PKCS#12 data into a BinData, using the given output password.
Dim outputPassword As String
outputPassword = "myOutputPassword"
Dim bd As New ChilkatBinData
success = pfx.ToBd(outputPassword,bd)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print pfx.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.Print "Serialized " & bd.NumBytes & " bytes of PKCS#12 data."
