Generate a CSR with SAN (Subject Alternative Name) Extension

See more CSR Examples

Demonstrates how to generate a private key and a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) that includes the SAN extension. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    // First generate an RSA private key.
    // (It is also possible to create CSRs based on ECDSA private keys..)
    let rsa = CkoRsa()!

    // Generate a random 2048-bit RSA key.
    let privKey = CkoPrivateKey()!
    success = rsa.genKey(numBits: 2048, privKey: privKey)
    if success == false {
        print("\(rsa.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Create the CSR object and set properties.
    let csr = CkoCsr()!

    // Specify the Common Name. 
    csr.commonName = "mysubdomain.mydomain.com"

    // Country Name (2 letter code)
    csr.country = "GB"

    // State or Province Name (full name)
    csr.state = "Yorks"

    // Locality Name (eg, city)
    csr.locality = "York"

    // Organization Name (eg, company)
    csr.company = "Internet Widgits Pty Ltd"

    // Organizational Unit Name (eg, secion/division)
    csr.companyDivision = "IT"

    // Email address
    csr.emailAddress = "support@mydomain.com"

    // Add Subject Alternative Names
    // (The AddSan method is added in Chilkat v9.5.0.84)
    // Call AddSan for each alternative name.
    success = csr.addSan(sanType: "dnsName", sanValue: "mydomain.com")
    success = csr.addSan(sanType: "dnsName", sanValue: "mysubdomain.mydomain.com")
    success = csr.addSan(sanType: "ipAddress", sanValue: "192.168.0.123")

    // Create the CSR using the private key.
    var pemStr: String? = csr.genPem(privKey: privKey)
    if csr.lastMethodSuccess != true {
        print("\(csr.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Save the private key and CSR to a files.
    privKey.savePkcs8EncryptedPemFile(password: "password", path: "qa_output/privKey1.pem")

    let fac = CkoFileAccess()!
    fac.writeEntireTextFile(path: "qa_output/csr1.pem", fileData: pemStr, charset: "utf-8", includePreamble: false)

    // Show the CSR.
    print("\(pemStr!)")

    // Sample output:
