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.

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 using the given output password and return the PKCS#12 bytes encoded as
'  text.  Common encodings include base64 and hex.
Dim outputPassword As String
outputPassword = "myOutputPassword"
Dim encoded As String
encoded = pfx.ToEncodedString(outputPassword,"base64")
If (pfx.LastMethodSuccess = 0) Then
    Debug.Print pfx.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.Print encoded
