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

    // 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"?>
    // <set>
