PowerBuilder

Convert Cert + Key to PEM and PFX

See more Certificates Examples

This example is based on the following question from a Chilkat customer:

We receive 2 files :

    MyCertificate.p7b
    MyCertificate-privatekey.pkey

We have to transform these certificate like this:

First convert it to PEM like this:

openssl pkcs7 -in MyCertificate.p7b -inform DER -out MyCertificate.pem -print_certs

Now we get MyCertificate.pem

Last step, we need to convert it to pfx file:

openssl pkcs12 -export -inkey moncertificat-privatekey.pkey  -in  moncertificat.pem -out moncertificat.pfx

Is there a way to make all these steps with Chilkat ?

I will be nice to include this directly in our software instead of askig the user to do it manualy.

    destroy loo_PrivKey
    return

// Write the cert as PEM.

// Or get the PEM string directly...
Write-Debug loo_Cert.ExportCertPem()

// Associate the private key with the cert object.

if li_Success <> 1 then
    Write-Debug loo_Cert.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Cert
    destroy loo_PrivKey

// Write the cert + private key to a .pfx file.
li_Success = loo_Cert.ExportToPfxFile("qa_data/myPfx.pfx","password",1)
if li_Success <> 1 then
    Write-Debug loo_Cert.LastErrorText

Write-Debug "Success."


destroy loo_Cert
