#1062 Simplifying getting transport certificate.
Closed: Fixed Opened by edewata.

Closed: Fixed
Reopen Issue

Currently the SystemCertClient.get_transport_cert() in the Python client library returns the transport certificate in PEM format which needs to parsed and decoded before it can be used in other operations. This makes the library more difficult to use because the client code will be more cryptic and could be error prone.

systemCertClient = pki.systemcert.SystemCertClient(connection)
transport_pem = systemCertClient.get_transport_cert()
transport_b64 = transport_pem[len(pki.CERT_HEADER):len(transport_pem) - len(pki.CERT_FOOTER)]
transport_crt = base64.decodestring(transport_b64)
crypto.import_cert(nickname, transport_crt, "u,u,u")

To simplify the usage, the Python library should have parsed and decoded the transport certificate before returning it to the client.

systemCertClient = pki.systemcert.SystemCertClient(connection)
transport_crt = systemCertClient.get_transport_cert()
crypto.import_cert(nickname, transport_crt, "u,u,u")
