Generate a CSR with keyUsage, extKeyUsage, and other Extensions

See more CSR Examples

Demonstrates how to generate a CSR containing a 1.2.840.113549.1.9.14 extensionRequest with the following extensions:

• 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2 enrollCerttypeExtension
• 2.5.29.15 keyUsage
• 2.5.29.37 extKeyUsage
• 2.5.29.14 subjectKeyIdentifier

Go

    success := false

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

    // This example will generate a secp256r1 ECDSA key for the CSR.
    ecc := chilkat.NewEcc()
    prng := chilkat.NewPrng()
    privKey := chilkat.NewPrivateKey()
    success = ecc.GenKey("secp256r1",prng,privKey)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println("Failed to generate a new ECDSA private key.")
        ecc.DisposeEcc()
        prng.DisposePrng()
        privKey.DisposePrivateKey()

    csr := chilkat.NewCsr()

    // Add common CSR fields:
    csr.SetCommonName("mysubdomain.mydomain.com")
    csr.SetCountry("GB")
    csr.SetState("Yorks")
    csr.SetLocality("York")
    csr.SetCompany("Internet Widgits Pty Ltd")
    csr.SetEmailAddress("support@mydomain.com")

    // Add the following 1.2.840.113549.1.9.14 extensionRequest
    // Note: The easiest way to know the content and format of the XML to be added is to examine
    // a pre-existing CSR with the same desired extensionRequest.  You can use Chilkat to
    // get the extensionRequest from an existing CSR. 

    // 
    // Here is a sample extension request:
