Example 1:
index.js
// Node.js program to demonstrate the // x509.subject function // Importing crypto module const {X509Certificate} = require( 'crypto' ) // Importing fs module const fs = require( 'fs' ) // getting object of a PEM encoded X509 Certificate. const x509 = new X509Certificate(fs.readFileSync( 'public-cert.pem' )); // getting subject included in this certificate. // by using x509.subject function const value = x509.subject // display the result console.log( "subject :- " + value) |
Run the index.js file using the following command.
node index.js
