Use a PEM TLS Client Certificate

Demonstrates the Chilkat MailMan.SetSslClientCertPem method, which sets the client-side certificate for SSL/TLS connections, loading it from PEM data or from a PEM file. The first argument may contain the PEM text itself or a path to a PEM file; the second is the PEM password. This example loads the client certificate from a PEM file.

Background: PEM is the familiar Base64 text format bracketed by -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- lines, and a single PEM can hold both a certificate and its (optionally encrypted) private key. It is the common format in Unix/OpenSSL environments, whereas PFX is more typical on Windows. Because this method accepts either the PEM text or a filename, you can supply credentials straight from a config value or secret store without writing them to disk.
