(Swift 3,4,5...) Generate CSR from Pre-Existing Private Key

Demonstrates how to generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) from a pre-existing RSA private key.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

func chilkatTest() {
    // Note: Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

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

    let privKey = CkoPrivateKey()!

    // Load the private key from a file.
    // (Chilkat provides the ability to load private keys from many different
    // formats and sources..)
    var success: Bool = privKey.loadEncryptedPemFile("qa_data/rsa/privKey1.pem", password: "password")
    if !success {
        print("\(privKey.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

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

    // Specify the Common Name.  This is the only required property.
    // For SSL/TLS certificates, this would be the domain name. 
    // For email certificates this would be the email address. 
    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"

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

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

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

    // Sample output:
    // The CSR PEM can be checked here:
    // https://www.networking4all.com/en/support/tools/csr+check/
    // Copy-and-paste the PEM into the online CSR Decoding / CSR Verification form
