Get Public Key from Certificate PEM

See more Certificates Examples

Loads a certificate from a PEM file and gets the cert's public key. C++

#include <CkCert.h>
#include <CkPublicKey.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    CkCert cert;

    success = cert.LoadFromFile("qa_data/certs/someCert.pem");
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << cert.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // Get the certificate's public key:
    CkPublicKey pubkey;
    cert.GetPublicKey(pubkey);

    std::cout << pubkey.getPem(false) << "\r\n";

    // OK.. we have the public key which can be used in other Chilkat classes/methods...
    }
