(Node.js) Load a CSR and Get the SANs (Subject Alternative Names)

See more CSR Examples

Demonstrates how to load a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and get the Subject Alternative Names (if any).

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.91 or greater.

Install Chilkat for Node.js and Electron using npm at Chilkat npm packages for Node.js Chilkat npm packages for Electron on Windows, Linux, MacOSX, and ARM
