Generate a CSR with keyUsage, extKeyUsage, and other Extensions
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
' Note: The easiest way to know the content and format of the XML to be added is to examine
' a pre-existing CSR with the same desired extensionRequest. You can use Chilkat to
' get the extensionRequest from an existing CSR.
' Here is a sample extension request:
' <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
