CheckCertificate (Stringlist function)

Check format of base64 encoded certificate (Stringlist class)

[Requires Janus Network Security]

This method checks an SSL certificate against a private key.

Syntax

%rc = sl:CheckCertificate( [PrivateKey=] stringlist, [[Password=] string])

Syntax terms

%rc	An, optional, numeric variable that is set to zero if the function is a success. The possible return codes are described elsewhere in "Return codes".
sl	A Stringlist object that contains the certificate to be checked.
PrivateKey	This name allowed parameter is a Stringlist object that contains an RSA-generated private key.
Password	This optional, name allowed, parameter is a string that contains a password to decrypt the private key, if necessary.

Examples

In the following example, the CheckCertificate method checks a Janus Security-generated certificate (loaded to Stringlist %cert) against its Janus Security-generated private key (loaded to Stringlist %pk).
