#  This example demonstrates how to list the certificates
#  in a Windows Local Machine Certificate Store.

#  This is our certificate store factory object:
ccs = chilkat.CkCreateCS()
ccs.put_ReadOnly(True)

#  Open the local machine store:

cs = ccs.OpenLocalSystemStore()

if (not (cs == None )):

    numCerts = cs.get_NumCertificates()

    #  Print the distinguished name of each certificate
    for i in range(0,numCerts):
        cert = cs.GetCertificate(i)
        print cert.subjectDN()

else:
    print ccs.lastErrorText()
