Extracts an X.509 certificate from a PKCS-7 "certs-only" certificate chain file.

VB6/VBA

Debug.Print "Testing X509_GetCertFromP7Chain ..."
Dim nRet As Long
Dim strListFile As String
Dim strCertFile As String
Dim nCerts As Long
Dim iCert As Long

strListFile = "bob.p7b"
' How many certificates?

' Enumerate through them all
If nCerts > 0 Then
    For iCert = 1 To nCerts
        strCertFile = "bobcert" & iCert & ".cer"
        nRet = X509_GetCertFromP7Chain(strCertFile, strListFile, iCert, 0)

X509_GetCertFromP7Chain(1) returns 555->bobcert1.cer
