CopiaFacts™ Reference Manual

Display Certificate Contents

CFCERTINFO [certfile | scanpath]

This utility displays the full content of a certificate file.  A password will be requested if necessary.  It can also be used to scan (recursively) a folder which may contain .CER public key files and display the validity dates of each one.

The left button at top right selects a file to view, the right button a folder to scan for .CER files.

If you enter an incorrect password, a button will appear to the left of the certificate file name; click this button to re-enter the password.  On the right of the same field, the button displays a menu of the last 16 entries in this field.

The button at bottom left copies the displayed information to the Windows clipboard.

The program supports the following file types:

Certificate files:.pem .crt .cer .p7b .p7c .der .pfx .p12
Signed program files:.exe .dll .sys .ocx .msi

If the file contains a chain of certificates, details of all will be displayed.

Extracting a Public Key

For .pfx and .p12 files containing a public signing key in addition to the private key, a button will be displayed below the display window which can be clicked to extract the public key to a .cer file.  The file will be named with the CopiaFacts naming convention of name#doman.cer and placed in the same folder as the input file.  Any existing file of that name will be overwritten.
