ReadCertificate Method

Loads a certificate from a file.

Syntax

certmgr.readCertificate(fileName, [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

Note: This method is present for backwards compatibility. It is recommended to specify the Cert* properties to load a certificate.

This method will load a certificate from a file. The file contents can be encoded in base64 (PEM) or ASN (DER) format.
