Duplicate CSR Created by OpenSSL with Config.cnf

See more CSR Examples

Demonstrates how to duplicate a CSR created by the following commands:
# Generate Private Key
openssl ecparam -name secp256k1 -genkey -noout -out PrivateKey.pem

#Generate CSR
openssl req -new -sha256 -key PrivateKey.pem -extensions v3_req -config Config.cnf -out CSR.csr

    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // This example duplicates the CSR created by OpenSSL with the following config file:

    // oid_section = OIDs
    // [ OIDs ]
    // certificateTemplateName= 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2
    //
    // [ req ]
    // default_bits     = 2048

    // x509_extensions     = v3_ca
    // prompt = no
    // default_md = sha256
    // req_extensions = req_ext
    // distinguished_name = dn
    //
    // [ v3_req ]
    // basicConstraints = CA:FALSE
    // keyUsage = digitalSignature, nonRepudiation, keyEncipherment
    //
    // [req_ext]
    // certificateTemplateName = ASN1:PRINTABLESTRING:ZATCA-Code-Signing
    // subjectAltName = dirName:alt_names

    // The OpenSSL commands we are duplicating:

    // openssl ecparam -name secp256k1 -genkey -noout -out PrivateKey.pem
    // openssl req -new -sha256 -key PrivateKey.pem -extensions v3_req -config Config.cnf -out CSR.csr

    // The 1st step is to actually use OpenSSL to generate a sample CSR.csr that we wish to duplicate.
    // With the sample CSR.csr, we get the ExtensionRequest as XML.
    // For example:

    const sb_csr = try chilkat.StringBuilder.init();
    defer sb_csr.deinit();
    sb_csr.loadFile("qa_data/csr/openssl_cnf/CSR.csr", "utf-8") catch {
        std.debug.print("Failed to load CSR.csr\n", .{});
        return;
    };

    const csr0 = try chilkat.Csr.init();
    defer csr0.deinit();
    csr0.loadCsrPem(try sb_csr.getAsString(alloc)) catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try csr0.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    const xml0 = try chilkat.Xml.init();
    defer xml0.deinit();
    csr0.getExtensionRequest(xml0) catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try csr0.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    // Let's examine the extension request..
