Syntax

certmgr.importCertificate(PFXFile, password, subject, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method will import a certificate from a PFX file into the current certificate store. The certificate specified by Subject and its private key are loaded from the PKCS12 file specified by PFXFile. If the file is password-protected Password is used to open it.

Subject is optional. If empty, the first certificate in the store is loaded instead of the matching certificate.

If the provider is OpenSSL, the current version just loads the first certificate and its private key. Subject is ignored.
