(Node.js) Duplicate CSR Created by OpenSSL with Config.cnf

See more CSR Examples

Demonstrates how to duplicate a CSR created by the following commands:

# Generate Private Key
openssl ecparam -name secp256k1 -genkey -noout -out PrivateKey.pem

#Generate CSR
openssl req -new -sha256 -key PrivateKey.pem -extensions v3_req -config Config.cnf -out CSR.csr

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

    // This example duplicates the CSR created by OpenSSL with the following config file:

    // oid_section = OIDs
    // [ OIDs ]
    // certificateTemplateName= 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2
    // 
    // [ req ]
    // default_bits 	= 2048
    // emailAddress 	= it@example.sa
    // req_extensions	= v3_req
    // x509_extensions 	= v3_ca
    // prompt = no
    // default_md = sha256
    // req_extensions = req_ext
    // distinguished_name = dn
    // 
    // [ v3_req ]
    // basicConstraints = CA:FALSE
    // keyUsage = digitalSignature, nonRepudiation, keyEncipherment
    // 
    // [req_ext]
    // certificateTemplateName = ASN1:PRINTABLESTRING:ZATCA-Code-Signing
    // subjectAltName = dirName:alt_names
    // 
    // [ dn ]
    // CN =EXAMPLE-CORP  				# Common Name
    // C=SA									# Country Code e.g SA
    // OU=HEAD-OFFICE							# Organization Unit Name
    // O=ASC									# Organization Name
    // 
    // [alt_names]
    // SN=1-ASC|2-V01|3-1234567890				# EGS Serial Number 1-ABC|2-PQR|3-XYZ
    // UID=312345678900003						# Organization Identifier (VAT Number)

    // The OpenSSL commands we are duplicating:

    // openssl ecparam -name secp256k1 -genkey -noout -out PrivateKey.pem
    // openssl req -new -sha256 -key PrivateKey.pem -extensions v3_req -config Config.cnf -out CSR.csr

    // The 1st step is to actually use OpenSSL to generate a sample CSR.csr that we wish to duplicate.
    // With the sample CSR.csr, we get the ExtensionRequest as XML.  
    // For example:

    var sbCsr = new chilkat.StringBuilder();
    var success = sbCsr.LoadFile("qa_data/csr/openssl_cnf/CSR.csr","utf-8");
    if (success == false) {
        console.log("Failed to load CSR.csr");
        return;
    }

    var csr0 = new chilkat.Csr();
    success = csr0.LoadCsrPem(sbCsr.GetAsString());
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(csr0.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    var xml0 = new chilkat.Xml();
    success = csr0.GetExtensionRequest(xml0);
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(csr0.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    // Let's examine the extension request..
    console.log(xml0.GetXml());
