#  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.new()
ccs.put_ReadOnly(true)

#  Open the local machine store:

cs = ccs.OpenLocalSystemStore()

if (!(cs == nil ))

    numCerts = cs.get_NumCertificates()

    #  Print the distinguished name of each certificate
    for i in 0 .. numCerts - 1
        cert = cs.GetCertificate(i)
        print cert.subjectDN() + "\n";
    end

else
    print ccs.lastErrorText() + "\n"
end

#  The Chilkat Certificate, Certificate Store, Private Key,
#  Public Key, and Key Container classes / objects are freeware.

#  They are used by and included with the Chilkat Email,
#  Crypt, S/MIME, and other commercial Chilkat components.
