CSR Get Extension Request

See more CSR Examples

If a CSR contains a 1.2.840.113549.1.9.14 extensionRequest, then this method will return the extension request in XML format.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.91 or greater.

VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

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

Dim csr As New Chilkat.Csr

' Load a CSR PEM file.  The file should contain content that looks like this:
' 
' 	-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
' 	MII...
' 	....
' 	....
' 	....
' 	-----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

Dim fac As New Chilkat.FileAccess
Dim csrPem As String = fac.ReadEntireTextFile("qa_data/csr/sample.pem","utf-8")

success = csr.LoadCsrPem(csrPem)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(csr.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Dim xml As New Chilkat.Xml

success = csr.GetExtensionRequest(xml)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine("CSR has no extensionRequest.")
    Exit Sub
End If


Dim xmlStr As String = xml.GetXml()
Debug.WriteLine(xmlStr)
