(C++) Generate a CSR containing an Extension Request

See more CSR Examples

Demonstrates how to generate a CSR containing a 1.2.840.113549.1.9.14 extensionRequest.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.91 or greater.

    // 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:
