Get Certificate User Principal Name (UPN)

See more Certificates Examples

Demonstrates how to get a certificate's UPN from the SAN (Subject Alternative Name). Most certificates do not have a UPN. This example only applies to those certificates that have a User Principal Name.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.90 or greater due to fixes made in getting the UPN from the SAN.
