Generate CSR from Pre-Existing Private Key

See more CSR Examples

Demonstrates how to generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) from a pre-existing RSA private key.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

PowerBuilder

integer li_rc
integer li_Success
oleobject loo_PrivKey
oleobject loo_Csr
string ls_PemStr

// Note: Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

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

loo_PrivKey = create oleobject

if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_PrivKey

// Load the private key from a file.
// (Chilkat provides the ability to load private keys from many different
// formats and sources..)

// For SSL/TLS certificates, this would be the domain name. 
// For email certificates this would be the email address.

// Email address

// Create the CSR using the private key.

// Save the CSR..

loo_Fac.WriteEntireTextFile("qa_output/csr1.pem",ls_PemStr,"utf-8",0)

// Show the CSR.
Write-Debug ls_PemStr

// Sample output:
// The CSR PEM can be checked here:

// Copy-and-paste the PEM into the online CSR Decoding / CSR Verification form
