Generate a CSR with keyUsage, extKeyUsage, and other Extensions

See more CSR Examples

Demonstrates how to generate a CSR containing a 1.2.840.113549.1.9.14 extensionRequest with the following extensions:

• 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2 enrollCerttypeExtension
• 2.5.29.15 keyUsage
• 2.5.29.37 extKeyUsage
• 2.5.29.14 subjectKeyIdentifier

require 'chilkat'

success = false

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

# This example will generate a secp256r1 ECDSA key for the CSR.
ecc = Chilkat::CkEcc.new()
prng = Chilkat::CkPrng.new()
privKey = Chilkat::CkPrivateKey.new()
success = ecc.GenKey("secp256r1",prng,privKey)
if (success == false)
    print "Failed to generate a new ECDSA private key." + "\n";
    exit
end

csr = Chilkat::CkCsr.new()

# Add common CSR fields:
csr.put_CommonName("mysubdomain.mydomain.com")
csr.put_Country("GB")
csr.put_State("Yorks")
csr.put_Locality("York")
csr.put_Company("Internet Widgits Pty Ltd")
csr.put_EmailAddress("support@mydomain.com")

# Add the following 1.2.840.113549.1.9.14 extensionRequest
# Note: The easiest way to know the content and format of the XML to be added is to examine
# a pre-existing CSR with the same desired extensionRequest.  You can use Chilkat to
# get the extensionRequest from an existing CSR. 

# 
# Here is a sample extension request:

# <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

#     <sequence>
#         <sequence>
#             <oid>1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2</oid>
