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)
//  title=1100								# Invoice Type
//  registeredAddress=Dammam  	 			# Address
//  businessCategory=IT						# Business Category

//  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:

$sbCsr = new COM("Chilkat.StringBuilder");
$success = $sbCsr->LoadFile('qa_data/csr/openssl_cnf/CSR.csr','utf-8');
if ($success == 0) {
    print 'Failed to load CSR.csr' . "\n";
    exit;
}

$csr0 = new COM("Chilkat.Csr");
$success = $csr0->LoadCsrPem($sbCsr->getAsString());
if ($success == 0) {
    print $csr0->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

$xml0 = new COM("Chilkat.Xml");
$success = $csr0->GetExtensionRequest($xml0);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $csr0->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

//  Let's examine the extension request..
print $xml0->getXml() . "\n";
