(Swift 2) Get Certificate User Principal Name (UPN)

See more Certificates Examples

Demonstrates how to get a certificate's UPN from the SAN (Subject Alternative Name). Most certificates do not have a UPN. This example only applies to those certificates that have a User Principal Name.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.90 or greater due to fixes made in getting the UPN from the SAN.

func chilkatTest() {
    let cert = CkoCert()

    var success: Bool = cert.LoadFromFile("qa_data/certs/sample.cer")
    if success == false {
        print("\(cert.LastErrorText)")

    }

    let xml = CkoXml()
    xml.LoadXml(cert.SubjectAlternativeName)

    // A certificate with a User Principal Name in the SAN might have this:

    // <SubjectAltName>
    //     <rfc822Name>joe@example.com</rfc822Name>
    //     <name type="oid" oid="1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2.3">joe@example.com</name>
    // </SubjectAltName>

    // The OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2.3 is for the User Principal Name.
    var upn: String? = xml.ChilkatPath("/A/name,oid,1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2.3|*")
    if xml.LastMethodSuccess == false {
        print("No user principle name.")
    }
    else {
        print("User Principle Name = \(upn!)")
