Tcl Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Generate Key and Certificate Signing Request (CSR)

See more CSR Examples

Demonstrates how to generate a new RSA key and a Certificate Signing Request (CSR).

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

Tcl

load ./chilkat.dll

set success 0

#  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.

#  First generate an RSA private key.
set rsa [new_CkRsa]

#  Generate a random 2048-bit RSA key.
set privKey [new_CkPrivateKey]

set success [CkRsa_GenKey $rsa 2048 $privKey]
if {$success == 0} then {
    puts [CkRsa_lastErrorText $rsa]
    delete_CkRsa $rsa
    delete_CkPrivateKey $privKey
    exit
}

#  Create the CSR object and set properties.
set csr [new_CkCsr]

#  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. 
CkCsr_put_CommonName $csr "mysubdomain.mydomain.com"

#  Country Name (2 letter code)
CkCsr_put_Country $csr "GB"

#  State or Province Name (full name)
CkCsr_put_State $csr "Yorks"

#  Locality Name (eg, city)
CkCsr_put_Locality $csr "York"

#  Organization Name (eg, company)
CkCsr_put_Company $csr "Internet Widgits Pty Ltd"

#  Organizational Unit Name (eg, secion/division)
CkCsr_put_CompanyDivision $csr "IT"

#  Email address
CkCsr_put_EmailAddress $csr "support@mydomain.com"

#  Create the CSR using the private key.
set pemStr [CkCsr_genCsrPem $csr $privKey]
if {[CkCsr_get_LastMethodSuccess $csr] != 1} then {
    puts [CkCsr_lastErrorText $csr]
    delete_CkRsa $rsa
    delete_CkPrivateKey $privKey
    delete_CkCsr $csr
    exit
}

#  Save the private key and CSR to a files.
CkPrivateKey_SavePkcs8EncryptedPemFile $privKey "password" "qa_output/privKey1.pem"

set fac [new_CkFileAccess]

CkFileAccess_WriteEntireTextFile $fac "qa_output/csr1.pem" $pemStr "utf-8" 0

#  Show the CSR.
puts "$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
