See more CSR Examples

Demonstrates how to generate a CSR containing a 1.2.840.113549.1.9.14 extensionRequest with the following extensions:
  • 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2 enrollCerttypeExtension
  • 2.5.29.15 keyUsage
  • 2.5.29.37 extKeyUsage
  • 2.5.29.14 subjectKeyIdentifier

//  Add the following 1.2.840.113549.1.9.14 extensionRequest

//  get the extensionRequest from an existing CSR.
