ediSecurityKeyContainers. ImportKeyContainer

Imports a file containing the Public/Private key pair to the key container.

Syntax:

• Set <oKeyContainer> = object. ImportKeyContainer(<sNewContainerName>, <sImportFileName>, <sPassword>, <sNewContainerName>, <sHashAlgIdName>, <sEncryptAlgIdName>)

Parameters:

• sImportFileName - Name of the file containing the key pair to import.
• sPassword - Password to import the key pair.
• sNewContainerName - Name of the new container to create and store the key pair.

Returns:

Returns the object FREDI.ediSecurityKeyContainer if successful; otherwise returns an empty object if the operation failed.

Remarks:

A new key container specified by sNewContainerName is created before the keys are imported to the new key container. If the key fails to import to the new key container, the new key container will not be deleted. It is left up to the user to delete the key container. The keys imported must belong to the same service provider that exported the keys.
