CertPublicKeyAlgorithm Property

Textual description of the public key algorithm of the certificate.

Syntax

 certmgr.getCertPublicKeyAlgorithm([callback])
 certmgr.setCertPublicKeyAlgorithm( certPublicKeyAlgorithm, [callback])

Default Value

""

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 the getCertPublicKeyAlgorithm([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

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

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setCertPublicKeyAlgorithm([callback]) 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

Textual description of the public key algorithm of the certificate. The property contains either the name of the algorithm (such as "RSA" or "RSA_DH"), or an object identifier (OID) string representing the algorithm.
