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

#  Add common CSR fields:
$csr->put_CommonName("mysubdomain.mydomain.com");
$csr->put_Country("GB");

#  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:

#  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
