Load .crl, Convert to XML, Get Revoked Serial Numbers and Dates

See more Certificates Examples

Load a binary .crl file (Certificate Revocation List), converts to XML, and then gets the revoked certificate serial numbers and revocation dates.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.77 or greater.

Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    // Load a binary .crl file.
    let bdCrl = CkoBinData()!
    success = bdCrl.loadFile(path: "qa_data/crl/ca1.crl")
    if success != true {
        print("Failed to load CRL file.")
        return
    }

    let asn = CkoAsn()!
    success = asn.loadBd(bd: bdCrl)
    if success != true {
        print("\(asn.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Convert ASN.1 to XML and load into xml and re-emit for pretty printing..
    let xml = CkoXml()!
    xml.load(xmlData: asn.asnToXml())
    success = xml.save(path: "qa_output/crl.xml")
