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. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

pfx = Chilkat::CkPfx.new()

success = pfx.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/pfx/test_secret.pfx","secret")
if (success == false)
    print pfx.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# 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.
leafStore = "My"
intermediateStore = "CertificationAuthority"
rootStore = "AuthRoot"

success = pfx.ImportToWindows(exportable,userProtected,machineKeyset,allowOverwriteKey,allowExport,leafStore,intermediateStore,rootStore,"")
if (success == false)
    print pfx.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Show information about the certificates imported
json = Chilkat::CkJsonObject.new()
pfx.GetLastJsonData(json)

json.put_EmitCompact(false)
print json.emit() + "\n";
