Get a .pfx/.p12 Safe Bag Attribute

See more PFX/P12 Examples

Demonstrates how to get the value of a private key or certificate safe bag attribute. Safe bag attributes are associated with a key or certificate. They are attributes stored in the .p12/.pfx alongside a key or certificate.

    ;  In the above JSON, we can see the .pfx contains one private key (a pkcs8ShroudedKeyBag) and two certificates (each in a certBag).
    ;  The certificates in a .pfx/.p12 are typicaly a single certificate with associated private key, along with the other certificates
    ;  in the chain of authentication.

    ;  We can see that the private key has 3 safebag attributes: localKeyId, keyContainerName, and msStorageProvider.
    ;  The certificate associated with the private key contains one safebag attribute: localKeyId.
    ;  Notice the localKeyId is the same.  The localKeyId helps associate the private key that corresponds to the given certificate.

    ;  Let's demonstrate the GetSafeBagAttr method:

    ;  Get each of the private key safebag attributes:
    getPrivateKeyAttr.i = 1
    privateKeyIdx.i = 0
    Debug "---- private key safebag attributes ----"
    Debug CkPfx::ckGetSafeBagAttr(pfx,getPrivateKeyAttr,privateKeyIdx,"localKeyId")
    Debug CkPfx::ckGetSafeBagAttr(pfx,getPrivateKeyAttr,privateKeyIdx,"keyContainerName")
    Debug CkPfx::ckGetSafeBagAttr(pfx,getPrivateKeyAttr,privateKeyIdx,"storageProvider")

    ;  Get the localKeyId attribute for the 1st certificate.
    getPrivateKeyAttr = 0
    Debug "---- cert safebag attributes ----"
    Debug CkPfx::ckGetSafeBagAttr(pfx,getPrivateKeyAttr,0,"localKeyId")
