I have a .cer file, .key and a password. I need to convert them to a .pfx file in .NET 6 but I have not a clear idea how to do it.
With the help of ChatGPT I came up with this code but it is not working as it should, I get an exception:
System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: ASN1 corrupted data.
---> System.Formats.Asn1.AsnContentException: The provided data is tagged with 'Universal' class value '16', but it should have been 'Universal' class value '2'.
My code:
public async Task<string> ConvertToPfx(string certFilePath, string keyFilePath, string password)
{
byte[] certData = await File.ReadAllBytesAsync(certFilePath);
var certificate = new X509Certificate2(certData);
byte[] keyData = await File.ReadAllBytesAsync(keyFilePath);
RSA rsa = RSA.Create();
rsa.ImportRSAPrivateKey(keyData, out _); // <-- Exception here
var certWithPrivateKey = certificate.CopyWithPrivateKey(rsa);
byte[] pfxData = certWithPrivateKey.Export(X509ContentType.Pfx, password);
string pfxPath = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), $"{Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(certFilePath)}.pfx");
await File.WriteAllBytesAsync(pfxPath, pfxData);
return pfxPath;
}
Feel free to make the necessary changes or propose other alternatives.
