Get a .pfx/.p12 Safe Bag Attribute

See more PFX/P12 Examples

Demonstrates how to get the value of a private key or certificate safe bag attribute. Safe bag attributes are associated with a key or certificate. They are attributes stored in the .p12/.pfx alongside a key or certificate. Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

$pfx = chilkat::CkPfx->new();

$success = $pfx->LoadPfxFile("qa_data/pfx/test_ecdsa_secret.pfx","secret");
if ($success == 0) {
    print $pfx->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

$json = chilkat::CkJsonObject->new();
$pfx->GetLastJsonData($json);

$json->put_EmitCompact(0);
print $json->emit() . "\r\n";

# The last JSON data provides information about the what is contained in the PFX.  It was collected in the call to LoadPfxFile.

# In the above JSON, we can see the .pfx contains one private key (a pkcs8ShroudedKeyBag) and two certificates (each in a certBag).
# The certificates in a .pfx/.p12 are typicaly a single certificate with associated private key, along with the other certificates
# in the chain of authentication.

# We can see that the private key has 3 safebag attributes: localKeyId, keyContainerName, and msStorageProvider.
# The certificate associated with the private key contains one safebag attribute: localKeyId.
# Notice the localKeyId is the same.  The localKeyId helps associate the private key that corresponds to the given certificate.

# Let's demonstrate the GetSafeBagAttr method:

# Get each of the private key safebag attributes:
$getPrivateKeyAttr = 1;
$privateKeyIdx = 0;
print "---- private key safebag attributes ----" . "\r\n";
print $pfx->getSafeBagAttr($getPrivateKeyAttr,$privateKeyIdx,"localKeyId") . "\r\n";
print $pfx->getSafeBagAttr($getPrivateKeyAttr,$privateKeyIdx,"keyContainerName") . "\r\n";
print $pfx->getSafeBagAttr($getPrivateKeyAttr,$privateKeyIdx,"storageProvider") . "\r\n";

# Get the localKeyId attribute for the 1st certificate.
$getPrivateKeyAttr = 0;
print "---- cert safebag attributes ----" . "\r\n";
print $pfx->getSafeBagAttr($getPrivateKeyAttr,0,"localKeyId") . "\r\n";
