(DataFlex) Generate RSA Key and Export to Encrypted PEM

DataFlex sample showing how to generate an RSA key and export to encrypted PEM.

Procedure Test
    Handle hoRsa
    Boolean iSuccess
    String sKeyXml
    Handle hoPrivKey
    String sStrEncPem
    String sTemp1

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

    Get Create (RefClass(cComChilkatRsa)) To hoRsa
    If (Not(IsComObjectCreated(hoRsa))) Begin
        Send CreateComObject of hoRsa
    End

    // Generate a 1024-bit key.  Chilkat RSA supports
    // key sizes ranging from 512 bits to 4096 bits.
    Get ComGenerateKey Of hoRsa 1024 To iSuccess
    If (iSuccess <> True) Begin
        Get ComLastErrorText Of hoRsa To sTemp1
        Showln sTemp1
        Procedure_Return
    End

    // Get the private key as unencrypted XML:
    Get ComExportPrivateKey Of hoRsa To sKeyXml
    Showln sKeyXml

    // To encrypt the key -- meaning to get the key in
    // an encrypted PEM format -- load it into a PrivateKey object,
    // and then export to encrypted PEM:
    Get Create (RefClass(cComChilkatPrivateKey)) To hoPrivKey
    If (Not(IsComObjectCreated(hoPrivKey))) Begin
        Send CreateComObject of hoPrivKey
    End

    Get ComLoadXml Of hoPrivKey sKeyXml To iSuccess
    If (iSuccess <> True) Begin
        Get ComLastErrorText Of hoPrivKey To sTemp1
        Showln sTemp1
        Procedure_Return
    End

    Get ComGetPkcs8EncryptedPem Of hoPrivKey "myPassword" To sStrEncPem

    // You now have the private key in an encrypted format,
    // which may be (for example) saved to a database
