Use a Certificate Vault for Chain Building

See more PFX/P12 Examples

Demonstrates Pfx.UseCertVault, which adds the certificates in an XmlCertVault to the set of sources available for later chain-building operations such as AddCert.

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.

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim pfx As New Chilkat.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.
'  Load additional certificates (such as intermediate CA certificates) into a certificate vault.
Dim vault As New Chilkat.XmlCertVault
success = vault.AddCertFile("qa_data/intermediate_ca.cer")
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(vault.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


'  Make the vault's certificates available as sources for later chain-building operations, such as
'  AddCert.  The call captures a point-in-time snapshot of the vault's certificates.
success = pfx.UseCertVault(vault)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(pfx.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.WriteLine("Certificate vault registered as a chain-building source.")
