Load Certificate from PFX (PKCS#12)

See more Certificates Examples

Loads a digital certificate (and private key, if available) from a PFX file.(also known as PKCS#12) Go

    success := false

    cert := chilkat.NewCert()

    //  Load from the PFX file
    pfxFilename := "/Users/chilkat/testData/pfx/chilkat_ssl_pwd_is_test.pfx"
    pfxPassword := "test"

    //  A PFX typically contains certificates in the chain of authentication.
    //  The Chilkat cert object will choose the certificate w/
    //  private key farthest from the root authority cert.
    //  To access all the certificates in a PFX, use the 
    //  Chilkat certificate store object instead.
    success = cert.LoadPfxFile(pfxFilename,pfxPassword)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(cert.LastErrorText())
        cert.DisposeCert()
        return
    }

    //  Get some information about the digital certificate, 
    //  then get the private key...

    //  DN = "Distinguished Name"
    fmt.Println("SubjectDN:", cert.SubjectDN())

    fmt.Println("Common Name:", cert.SubjectCN())
    fmt.Println("Issuer Common Name:", cert.IssuerCN())

    fmt.Println("Serial Number:", cert.SerialNumber())

    privKey := chilkat.NewPrivateKey()
    success = cert.GetPrivateKey(privKey)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(cert.LastErrorText())
        cert.DisposeCert()
        privKey.DisposePrivateKey()
        return
    }

    //  The private key object may be used in any Chilkat methods
    //  (in other objects/classes) that expect a private key argument.

    //  In this case, save the private key to a PKCS8 Encrypted PEM format file:
    pemPassword := "secret"
    pemPath := "/Users/chilkat/testData/pem/chilkat_privKey.pem"
    success = privKey.SavePkcs8EncryptedPemFile(pemPassword,pemPath)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(privKey.LastErrorText())
        cert.DisposeCert()
        privKey.DisposePrivateKey()
        return
