(PHP Extension) 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

Chilkat PHP Downloads PHP Extension for Windows, Linux, MacOS, Alpine Linux, Solaris

<?php

// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.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.
$ecc = new CkEcc();
$prng = new CkPrng();

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

$csr = new CkCsr();

// Add common CSR fields:
$csr->put_CommonName('mysubdomain.mydomain.com');
$csr->put_Country('GB');
$csr->put_State('Yorks');
$csr->put_Locality('York');
$csr->put_Company('Internet Widgits Pty Ltd');
$csr->put_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"?>

//     <sequence>
//         <sequence>
