CkPython Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Install PFX Certificates and Private Keys to Windows

See more PFX/P12 Examples

Demonstrates how to install the certificates and private keys contained in a PFX to the Windows certificate stores. CkPython

pfx = chilkat.CkPfx()

#  See the online reference documentation for more information about the ImportToWindows method.

#  Mark imported privae keys as exportable.
exportable = True

#  If userProtected is True, the user is to be notified through a dialog box or other method when certain attempts to use this key are made. 
userProtected = False

#  If machineKeyset is True, the private keys are stored under the local computer and not under the current user. 
machineKeyset = False

#  If allowOverwriteKey is True, allow overwrite of the existing key. 
allowOverwriteKey = False

#  If allowExport is True, then the imported key can later be exported back to a PFX.
#  (It also allows for applications to directly access the private key material.)
allowExport = True

#  Indicate where to import types of certs.

#  Show information about the certificates imported
json = chilkat.CkJsonObject()
