Get a .pfx/.p12 Safe Bag Attribute

See more PFX/P12 Examples

Demonstrates how to get the value of a private key or certificate safe bag attribute. Safe bag attributes are associated with a key or certificate. They are attributes stored in the .p12/.pfx alongside a key or certificate. Visual FoxPro

* The last JSON data provides information about the what is contained in the PFX.  It was collected in the call to LoadPfxFile.
* For example:

* In the above JSON, we can see the .pfx contains one private key (a pkcs8ShroudedKeyBag) and two certificates (each in a certBag).
* The certificates in a .pfx/.p12 are typicaly a single certificate with associated private key, along with the other certificates
* in the chain of authentication.

* We can see that the private key has 3 safebag attributes: localKeyId, keyContainerName, and msStorageProvider.
* The certificate associated with the private key contains one safebag attribute: localKeyId.
* Notice the localKeyId is the same.  The localKeyId helps associate the private key that corresponds to the given certificate.

* Let's demonstrate the GetSafeBagAttr method:

* Get each of the private key safebag attributes:
lnGetPrivateKeyAttr = 1
lnPrivateKeyIdx = 0
? "---- private key safebag attributes ----"
? loPfx.GetSafeBagAttr(lnGetPrivateKeyAttr,lnPrivateKeyIdx,"localKeyId")
? loPfx.GetSafeBagAttr(lnGetPrivateKeyAttr,lnPrivateKeyIdx,"keyContainerName")
? loPfx.GetSafeBagAttr(lnGetPrivateKeyAttr,lnPrivateKeyIdx,"storageProvider")

* Get the localKeyId attribute for the 1st certificate.
lnGetPrivateKeyAttr = 0
? "---- cert safebag attributes ----"
? loPfx.GetSafeBagAttr(lnGetPrivateKeyAttr,0,"localKeyId")
