(Go) Subject Alternative Name

Demonstrates the usage of the SubjectAlternativeName property to get the certificate SAN (subject alternative name) as XML.

    // Note: Not all certificates contain a Subject Alternative Name.
    // If it does not, the SubjectAlternativeName property will contain the empty string.

    cert := chilkat.NewCert()

    success := cert.LoadFromFile("qa_data/certs/testIcpBrasil.cer")
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(cert.LastErrorText())
        cert.DisposeCert()
        return
    }

    subjectAltNameXml := cert.SubjectAlternativeName()

    fmt.Println(subjectAltNameXml)

    // Here's a sample of the subjectAltNameXml:

    // <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    // <SubjectAltName>
    //     <name type="oid" oid="2.16.76.1.3.4">...</name>
    //     <name type="oid" oid="2.16.76.1.3.2">...</name>
    //     <name type="oid" oid="2.16.76.1.3.3">...</name>
    //     <name type="oid" oid="2.16.76.1.3.7">...</name>
    //     <rfc822Name>...</rfc822Name>
    // </SubjectAltName>

    // The XML can be parsed like this:

    xml := chilkat.NewXml()

    xml.LoadXml(subjectAltNameXml)

    var oid *string = new(string)
    var name *string = new(string)

    i := 0
    count_i := xml.NumChildrenHavingTag("name")
    for i < count_i {
        xml.SetI(i)
        oid = xml.ChilkatPath("name[i]|(oid)")
        name = xml.GetChildContent("name[i]")
        i = i + 1
    }

    rfc822Name := xml.GetChildContent("rfc822Name")

    cert.DisposeCert()
    xml.DisposeXml()
