Pem

When set to true, each of the Load* methods appends to the current contents of this PEM object. When set to false, a Load* method replaces the contents of this PEM object. The default is false.

If set to a file path, this property logs the LastErrorText of each Chilkat method or property call to the specified file. This logging helps identify the context and history of Chilkat calls leading up to any crash or hang, aiding in debugging.

Enabling the VerboseLogging property provides more detailed information. This property is mainly used for debugging rare instances where a Chilkat method call causes a hang or crash, which should generally not happen.

Possible causes of hangs include:

• A timeout property set to 0, indicating an infinite timeout.
• A hang occurring within an event callback in the application code.
• An internal bug in the Chilkat code causing the hang.

This is the number of milliseconds between each AbortCheck event callback. The AbortCheck callback allows an application to abort any event-enabled methods prior to completion. If HeartbeatMs is 0 (the default), no AbortCheck event callbacks will fire.

Provides HTML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

Provides plain text information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

Provides XML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

Indicates the success or failure of the most recent method call: true means success, false means failure. This property remains unchanged by property setters or getters. This method is present to address challenges in checking for null or Nothing returns in certain programming languages.

The number of certificates in the loaded PEM. To get the 1st certificate, call GetCert(0).

The number of certificate revocation lists (CRLs) in the loaded PEM.

The number of certificate signing requests (CSRs) in the loaded PEM.

The number of private keys in the loaded PEM. To get the 1st private key, call GetPrivateKey(0).

The number of public keys in the loaded PEM. To get the 1st public key, call GetPublicKey(0).

Controls the format to be used for unencrypted private keys when writing a PEM. Possible values are "pkcs1" and "pkcs8". (OpenSSL typically uses the "pkcs8" format.) When writing encrypted private keys to PEM, the format is always PKCS8, and the PEM header is "BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY". The default is "pkcs8".

The PKCS1 format uses the PEM header: BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY.
The PKCS8 format uses the PEM header: BEGIN PRIVATE KEY.

Controls the format to be used for public keys when writing a PEM. Possible values are "pkcs1" and "pkcs8". (OpenSSL typically uses the "pkcs8" format.) The default is "pkcs8".

The PKCS1 format uses the PEM header: BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY.
The PKCS8 format uses the PEM header: BEGIN PUBLIC KEY.

If set to true, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is false. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.

Version of the component/library, such as "10.1.0"

Adds a certificate, and potentially the certs in its chain of authentication to the PEM. If includeChain is true, then certificates in the cert's chain of authentication up to and including the root are automatically added.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

Adds a certificate, private key, public key, or csr to the PEM. The possible values for itemType are "certificate" (or "cert"), "privateKey", "publicKey", or "csr". The encoding can be "Base64", "modBase64", "Base32", "QP" (for quoted-printable), "URL" (for url-encoding), "Hex", "url_oauth", "url_rfc1738", "url_rfc2396", and "url_rfc3986". The itemData contains the ASN.1 data in string format according to the encoding specified in encoding.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

Loads the PEM from the contents of an PKCS7 container (.p7b) contained in bd.

A .p7b (or .p7c) file contains a PKCS#7 container, which may include:

• One or more X.509 certificates (a certificate chain)
• Optionally, CRLs (Certificate Revocation Lists)
• No private key

Common Use: Used to bundle intermediate and root certificates for things like SSL certificate chains.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

Adds a private key to the PEM object.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

Adds a private key and it's associated certificate chain to the PEM object.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

Adds a public key to the PEM object.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

Returns in cert the Nth certificate from the PEM. The first certificate is at index 0.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

Removes all content from this PEM object.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

Returns the encoded contents of the Nth item of a particular type (0-based index). The possible values for itemType are "certificate" (or "cert"), "privateKey", "publicKey", or "csr". Input string args are case-insensitive. If the itemType is "privateKey", the itemSubType may be "der" or "pkcs8". If the itemType is "publicKey", the itemSubType may be "der" or "pkcs1". The itemSubType is ignored for other values of itemType. The valid encoding modes are "Base64", "modBase64", "Base32", "Base58", "QP" (for quoted-printable), "URL" (for url-encoding), "Hex", "url_oauth", "url_rfc1738", "url_rfc2396", and "url_rfc3986".

Returns null on failure

Loads the PEM from the contents of an in-memory PKCS7 container (.p7b).

Returns true for success, false for failure.

Loads the contents of a PKCS7 container (.p7b file).

Returns true for success, false for failure.

Returns in privKey the Nth private key from the PEM. The first private key is at index 0.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

Returns in pubKey the Nth public key from the PEM. The first public key is at index 0.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

Removes the Nth private key from the PEM. The first private key is at index 0.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

This function converts this PEM to a Java KeyStore (JKS) object and stores it in jksObj. If alias is provided, it will be used as the alias for the first object in the PEM (either a private key or certificate), while subsequent objects will receive autogenerated aliases. The resulting JKS will be encrypted with password, unless the PEM contains only certificates, in which case password is not used.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

Write the PFX to a PEM formatted string. The resultant PEM will contain the private key, as well as the certs in the chain of authentication (or whatever certs are available in the PFX). For example:

 -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
...
... the private key associated with the main certificate.
...
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
...
... the main certificate
...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
...
... an intermediate CA certificate (if present)
...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
...
... the root CA certificate
...
-----END CERTIFICATE----- 

Returns null on failure

Write the PFX to a PEM formatted string. If extendedAttrs is true, then extended properties (Bag Attributes and Key Attributes) are output. If noKeys is true, then no private keys are output. If noCerts is true, then no certificates are output. If noCaCerts is true, then no CA certs or intermediate CA certs are output. If encryptAlg is not empty, it indicates the encryption algorithm to be used for encrypting the private keys (otherwise the private keys are output unencrypted). The possible choices for the encryptAlg are "des3", "aes128", "aes192", and "aes256". (All encryption algorithm choices use CBC mode.) If the private keys are to be encrypted, then password is the password to be used. Otherwise, password may be left empty. For example:

Bag Attributes
    Microsoft Local Key set: <No Values>
    localKeyID: 01 00 00 00 
    friendlyName: le-2b09a3d2-9037-4a05-95cc-4d44518e8607

Returns null on failure

Converts this PEM object, which must contain at least one private key, to PKCS12 and returns the PFX in pfxObj. Typically, a PKCS12 file includes one private key, its associated certificate, and the certificate chain.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

This method is deprecated. Applications should instead call CertAt.

Returns the Nth certificate from the PEM. The first certificate is at index 0.

Returns null on failure

This method is deprecated. Applications should instead call PrivateKeyAt.

Returns the Nth private key from the PEM. The first private key is at index 0.

Returns null on failure

This method is deprecated. Applications should instead call PublicKeyAt.

Returns the Nth public key from the PEM. The first public key is at index 0.

Returns null on failure

Applications should instead call ToJksObj.

Converts the PEM to JKS and returns the Java KeyStore object.
