Generate Key and Certificate Signing Request (CSR)

See more CSR Examples

Demonstrates how to generate a new RSA key and a Certificate Signing Request (CSR).

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loRsa
LOCAL loPrivKey
LOCAL loCsr
LOCAL lcPemStr
LOCAL loFac

lnSuccess = 0

* Note: Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

* This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
* See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

* First generate an RSA private key.
loRsa = CreateObject('Chilkat.Rsa')

* Generate a random 2048-bit RSA key.
loPrivKey = CreateObject('Chilkat.PrivateKey')
lnSuccess = loRsa.GenKey(2048,loPrivKey)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loRsa.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loRsa
    RELEASE loPrivKey
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Create the CSR object and set properties.
loCsr = CreateObject('Chilkat.Csr')

* Specify the Common Name.  This is the only required property.
* For SSL/TLS certificates, this would be the domain name. 
* For email certificates this would be the email address. 
loCsr.CommonName = "mysubdomain.mydomain.com"

* Country Name (2 letter code)
loCsr.Country = "GB"

* State or Province Name (full name)
loCsr.State = "Yorks"

* Locality Name (eg, city)
loCsr.Locality = "York"

* Organization Name (eg, company)
loCsr.Company = "Internet Widgits Pty Ltd"

* Organizational Unit Name (eg, secion/division)
loCsr.CompanyDivision = "IT"

* Email address
loCsr.EmailAddress = "support@mydomain.com"

* Create the CSR using the private key.
lcPemStr = loCsr.GenCsrPem(loPrivKey)
IF (loCsr.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loCsr.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loRsa
    RELEASE loPrivKey
    RELEASE loCsr
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Save the private key and CSR to a files.
loPrivKey.SavePkcs8EncryptedPemFile("password","qa_output/privKey1.pem")

loFac = CreateObject('Chilkat.FileAccess')
loFac.WriteEntireTextFile("qa_output/csr1.pem",lcPemStr,"utf-8",0)

* Show the CSR.
? lcPemStr

* Sample output:
* The CSR PEM can be checked here:
* https://www.networking4all.com/en/support/tools/csr+check/
* Copy-and-paste the PEM into the online CSR Decoding / CSR Verification form
