LOCAL loKey
LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL lcKeyStr
LOCAL lcFingerprint


loKey = CreateObject('Chilkat.SshKey')

*  Load an SSH key from an encrypted OpenSSH-formatted private key:
loKey.Password = "secret"

*  First load the PEM into a string:
lcKeyStr = loKey.LoadText("privkey_openssh_encrypted.pem")

*  Import into the SSH key object:
lnSuccess = loKey.FromOpenSshPrivateKey(lcKeyStr)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    =MESSAGEBOX(loKey.LastErrorText)
    QUIT
ENDIF

*  Generate the fingerprint:

lcFingerprint = loKey.GenFingerprint()

? lcFingerprint

*  A sample fingerpring looks like this:
*  ssh-dss 2048 d0:5f:f7:d6:49:60:7b:50:19:f4:41:59:d4:1f:61:7a
