Load Certificate (.cer) and Private Key (.pvk) generated from makecert

See more Certificates Examples

Demonstrates how to load a certificate (.cer) and private key (.pvk) from the files produced by makecert, such as in the following command:

makecert -sv mycertificate.pvk -n "CN=My Simple Certificate" mycertificate.cer -sky Exchange

AutoIt

Local $bSuccess = False

; First load the .cer file.
; The certificate file (.cer) contains only the certificate (does not include the private key)
$oCert = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Cert")
$bSuccess = $oCert.LoadFromFile("qa_data/certs_and_keys/makecert/mycertificate.cer")
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oCert.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; Next, load the .pvk file.
; Note: The password "secret" is what you entered when makecert displayed the dialog asking for a password..
$oPrivKey = ObjCreate("Chilkat.PrivateKey")
$bSuccess = $oPrivKey.LoadPvkFile("qa_data/certs_and_keys/makecert/mycertificate.pvk","secret")
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oPrivKey.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; Finally, associate the private key with the certificate.
$bSuccess = $oCert.SetPrivateKey($oPrivKey)
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oCert.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; At this point, the certificate can be used for signing.  For example..
$oPdf = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Pdf")

; ....
; ....

$bSuccess = $oPdf.SetSigningCert($oCert)

; ...
; ....

; Some Chilkat classes also provide a method where the cert and private key can be passed separately.
; For example, if SetSigningCert2 is called, then we don't need to explicitly associate the private key with the cert.
$bSuccess = $oPdf.SetSigningCert2($oCert,$oPrivKey)
