X509CertificateToXmlDoc (String function)
Convert BER encoded X.509 certificate to XML (String class)
[Introduced in Sirius Mods 8.0]
X509 is a general authentication framework that establishes standard formats for for public-key certificates, certificate revocation lists (CRLs), and more. X509CertificateToXmlDoc converts a string (Longstring) that contains a certificate to an XmlDoc.
Syntax
%doc = string:X509CertificateToXmlDoc Throws InvalidBerData
Syntax terms
| %doc | An XmlDoc object variable to contain the decoded value of the method object, string. |
|---|---|
| string | A DER encoded string that contains the contents of a digital certificate. |
Usage notes
- X509CertificateToXmlDoc is very similar to DerToXmlDoc, except that X509CrlToXmlDoc understands the semantics of the certificate tags, so it provides more meaningful XML element names. Contrast the DerToXmlDoc example with the X509CertificateToXmlDoc example, below.
- X509CertificateToXmlDoc is a complete implementation of the PKCS standards for X509 certificates.
- Currently, no method is available to produce a DER stream from an XmlDoc nor to validate the signature on a certificate.
Examples
In the following example, the PemToString method loads Longstring %ls with the contents of a base64 encoded Certificate. The Longstring is then converted to the %doc XmlDoc whose contents are printed:
... text to %sl = new raw -----BEGIN X509 CERTIFICATE----- MIIDyjCCArICBQG6t2wFMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBAUAMIGpMQswCQYDVQQGEwJVUzEL MAkGA1UECBMCTUExEjAQBgNVBAcTCUNhbWJyaWRnZTEdMBsGA1UEChMUU2lyaXVz IFNvZnR3YXJlIEluYy4xHTAbBgNVBAsTFFNvZnR3YXJlIERldmVsb3BtZW50MTsw OQYDVQQDEzJzaXJpdXN8c2lyaXVzLXNvZnR3YXJlLmNvbXx3d3cuc2lyaXVzLXNv ... 3YJysceP8RdU9u6KMFca9AaXKIiBhDClAq0jXk/0ew4xlXJM8bRUXEVVWPGjXiP6 owT5jqCxVO6YyYMabVa1+fIu7g2EKOW26+2xdOBoti8wUHV5u/v7EhX4gl1SFRA0 HDqjT/PVYzAkLPr7LrMVUtPaE6ostjP4uLKr5K8IUz/Q7oab+sHeiTGk9qhflTMA K7EE6AGXgEWr5q18Xc0= -----END X509 CERTIFICATE----- end text %ls = %sl:pemToString('X509 CERTIFICATE') %doc = %ls:x509certificateTOXMLDOC %doc:print ...
The result is shown below:
