(PHP ActiveX) 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

<?php

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

// This example will generate a secp256r1 ECDSA key for the CSR.
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Ecc')
$ecc = new COM("Chilkat.Ecc");
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Prng')
$prng = new COM("Chilkat.Prng");

// privKey is a Chilkat.PrivateKey
$privKey = $ecc->GenEccKey('secp256r1',$prng);
if ($ecc->LastMethodSuccess == 0) {
    print 'Failed to generate a new ECDSA private key.' . "\n";
    exit;
}

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Csr')
$csr = new COM("Chilkat.Csr");

// Add common CSR fields:
$csr->CommonName = 'mysubdomain.mydomain.com';
$csr->Country = 'GB';
$csr->State = 'Yorks';
$csr->Locality = 'York';
$csr->Company = 'Internet Widgits Pty Ltd';
$csr->EmailAddress = 'support@mydomain.com';

// 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"?>
