(Visual Basic 6.0) Get a .pfx/.p12 Safe Bag Attribute

Demonstrates how to get the value of a private key or certificate safe bag attribute. Safe bag attributes are associated with a key or certificate. They are attributes stored in the .p12/.pfx alongside a key or certificate.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.83 or greater.

Dim pfx As New ChilkatPfx

Dim success As Long
success = pfx.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/pfx/test_ecdsa_secret.pfx","secret")
If (success = 0) Then

End If

Dim json As ChilkatJsonObject
Set json = pfx.LastJsonData()

' The LastJsonData provides information about the what is contained in the PFX after loading.

' In the above JSON, we can see the .pfx contains one private key (a pkcs8ShroudedKeyBag) and two certificates (each in a certBag).
' The certificates in a .pfx/.p12 are typicaly a single certificate with associated private key, along with the other certificates
' in the chain of authentication.

' We can see that the private key has 3 safebag attributes: localKeyId, keyContainerName, and msStorageProvider.
' The certificate associated with the private key contains one safebag attribute: localKeyId.
' Notice the localKeyId is the same.  The localKeyId helps associate the private key that corresponds to the given certificate.

' Let's demonstrate the GetSafeBagAttr method:

' Get each of the private key safebag attributes:
Dim getPrivateKeyAttr As Long
getPrivateKeyAttr = 1
Dim privateKeyIdx As Long
privateKeyIdx = 0
Debug.Print "---- private key safebag attributes ----"
Debug.Print pfx.GetSafeBagAttr(getPrivateKeyAttr,privateKeyIdx,"localKeyId")
Debug.Print pfx.GetSafeBagAttr(getPrivateKeyAttr,privateKeyIdx,"keyContainerName")
Debug.Print pfx.GetSafeBagAttr(getPrivateKeyAttr,privateKeyIdx,"storageProvider")

' Get the localKeyId attribute for the 1st certificate.
getPrivateKeyAttr = 0
Debug.Print "---- cert safebag attributes ----"
Debug.Print pfx.GetSafeBagAttr(getPrivateKeyAttr,0,"localKeyId")
