Generate a CSR with SAN (Subject Alternative Name) Extension

See more CSR Examples

Demonstrates how to generate a private key and a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) that includes the SAN extension. Objective-C

#import <CkoRsa.h>

#import <CkoCsr.h>
#import <NSString.h>
#import <CkoFileAccess.h>

BOOL success = NO;

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

//  First generate an RSA private key.
//  (It is also possible to create CSRs based on ECDSA private keys..)
CkoRsa *rsa = [[CkoRsa alloc] init];

//  Generate a random 2048-bit RSA key.
CkoPrivateKey *privKey = [[CkoPrivateKey alloc] init];
success = [rsa GenKey: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 2048] privKey: privKey];
if (success == NO) {
    NSLog(@"%@",rsa.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Create the CSR object and set properties.
CkoCsr *csr = [[CkoCsr alloc] init];

//  Specify the Common Name. 
csr.CommonName = @"mysubdomain.mydomain.com";

//  Country Name (2 letter code)
csr.Country = @"GB";

//  State or Province Name (full name)
csr.State = @"Yorks";

//  Locality Name (eg, city)
csr.Locality = @"York";

//  Organization Name (eg, company)
csr.Company = @"Internet Widgits Pty Ltd";

//  Organizational Unit Name (eg, secion/division)
csr.CompanyDivision = @"IT";

//  Email address
csr.EmailAddress = @"support@mydomain.com";

//  Add Subject Alternative Names
//  (The AddSan method is added in Chilkat v9.5.0.84)
//  Call AddSan for each alternative name.
success = [csr AddSan: @"dnsName" sanValue: @"mydomain.com"];
success = [csr AddSan: @"dnsName" sanValue: @"mysubdomain.mydomain.com"];
success = [csr AddSan: @"ipAddress" sanValue: @"192.168.0.123"];

//  Create the CSR using the private key.
NSString *pemStr = [csr GenCsrPem: privKey];
if (csr.LastMethodSuccess != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",csr.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Save the private key and CSR to a files.
[privKey SavePkcs8EncryptedPemFile: @"password" path: @"qa_output/privKey1.pem"];

CkoFileAccess *fac = [[CkoFileAccess alloc] init];
[fac WriteEntireTextFile: @"qa_output/csr1.pem" fileData: pemStr charset: @"utf-8" includePreamble: NO];

//  Show the CSR.
NSLog(@"%@",pemStr);
