Get Certificate User Principal Name (UPN)

See more Certificates Examples

Demonstrates how to get a certificate's UPN from the SAN (Subject Alternative Name). Most certificates do not have a UPN. This example only applies to those certificates that have a User Principal Name.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.90 or greater due to fixes made in getting the UPN from the SAN.

* A certificate with a User Principal Name in the SAN might have this:

* <SubjectAltName>
*     <rfc822Name>joe@example.com</rfc822Name>
*     <name type="oid" oid="1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2.3">joe@example.com</name>
* </SubjectAltName>

* The OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2.3 is for the User Principal Name.
