Xojo Plugin Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Load Certificate from PFX (PKCS#12)

See more Certificates Examples

Loads a digital certificate (and private key, if available) from a PFX file.(also known as PKCS#12) Xojo Plugin

Dim pfxFilename As String

//  A PFX typically contains certificates in the chain of authentication.
//  The Chilkat cert object will choose the certificate w/
//  private key farthest from the root authority cert.
//  To access all the certificates in a PFX, use the 
//  Chilkat certificate store object instead.

//  The private key object may be used in any Chilkat methods
//  (in other objects/classes) that expect a private key argument.

//  In this case, save the private key to a PKCS8 Encrypted PEM format file:
