Load Base64-encoded X.509 Certificate (.cer)

See more Certificates Examples

Loads a digital certificate from a base64 encoded DER X.509 Certificate (.cer, .crt) and fetches information about the cert. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

cert = chilkat.CkCert()

# LoadFromFile will load virtually any certificate format file.
# It will auto-recognize the format and load appropiately.
# A base64-encoded DER X.509 certificate file
# contains the binary DER in base64 encoded form.
# Therefore, it is a text file that will begin like this:
# -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
# MIIFbjCCBFagAwIBAgIGdDPNv/L0MA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAMIHKMQswCQYDVQQG
# EwJVUzEQMA4GA1UECBMHQXJpem9uYTETMBEGA1UEBxMKU2NvdHRzZGFsZTEaMBgG
# ...

success = cert.LoadFromFile("/Users/chilkat/testData/cer/chilkat_base64.cer")
if (success != True):
    print(cert.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# DN = "Distinguished Name"
print("SubjectDN:" + cert.subjectDN())

print("Common Name:" + cert.subjectCN())
print("Issuer Common Name:" + cert.issuerCN())

print("Serial Number:" + cert.serialNumber())
