Using Client Certificate w/ IMAP SSL

Demonstrates how to use a client-side certificate with an IMAP SSL connection. The SetSslClientCert method is called to specify a certificate to be used for the SSL connection. C#

bool success = false;

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Chilkat.Imap imap = new Chilkat.Imap();

// To use a secure SSL connection, set SSL and the port:
imap.Ssl = true;
// The typical port for IMAP SSL is 993
imap.Port = 993;

// Load a certificate from a PFX file and use it.
// Note: Other methods are available to load pre-installed
// certificates from registry-based certificate stores.

// Create an instance of a certificate store object, load a PFX file,
// locate the certificate we need, and use it for signing.
// (a PFX file may contain more than one certificate.)
Chilkat.CertStore certStore = new Chilkat.CertStore();
// The 1st argument is the filename, the 2nd arg is the 
// PFX file's password:
success = certStore.LoadPfxFile("myCertWithPrivateKey.pfx","secret");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(certStore.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Find the certificate by the subject common name:
Chilkat.JsonObject jsonCN = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
jsonCN.UpdateString("CN","cert common name");

Chilkat.Cert cert = new Chilkat.Cert();
success = certStore.FindCert(jsonCN,cert);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(certStore.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// If a PFX file is known to contain a single certificate,
// you may load it directly into a Chilkat certificate object.
// This snippet of source code shows how:
Chilkat.Cert cert2 = new Chilkat.Cert();
// The 1st argument is the filename, the 2nd arg is the 
// PFX file's password:
success = cert2.LoadPfxFile("myClientCert.pfx","secret");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(cert.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Use the cert:
success = imap.SetSslClientCert(cert);

// Connect to an IMAP server.
success = imap.Connect("imap.example.com");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Login
success = imap.Login("myLogin","myPassword");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Select an IMAP mailbox
success = imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Get the message IDs of all the emails in the mailbox
bool fetchUids = true;
Chilkat.MessageSet messageSet = new Chilkat.MessageSet();
success = imap.QueryMbx("ALL",fetchUids,messageSet);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Fetch the emails into a bundle object:
Chilkat.EmailBundle bundle = new Chilkat.EmailBundle();
bool headersOnly = false;
success = imap.FetchMsgSet(headersOnly,messageSet,bundle);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Loop over the bundle and display the FROM and SUBJECT of each.
Chilkat.Email email = new Chilkat.Email();
int i = 0;
int numEmails = bundle.MessageCount;
while (i < numEmails) {
    bundle.EmailAt(i,email);

    Debug.WriteLine(email.From);
    Debug.WriteLine(email.Subject);
    Debug.WriteLine("--");
    i = i + 1;
}

// Disconnect from the IMAP server.
success = imap.Disconnect();
