ImportFromFile Method

Loads a certificate from a file.

Syntax

certificatemanager.importFromFile(path, password, [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 can load certificates saved in one of the following formats: DER, PEM, PFX, SPC.

Use the Path parameter to provide a path to the certificate, and Password to specify the password. The Password parameter is optional. If it is omitted and it is later discovered that the certificate is password-encrypted, the PasswordNeeded event will be fired to request it.
