IMAP Login Secure

Demonstrates how to use the LoginSecure method introduced in Chilkat v9.5.0.71. B4X

Dim success As Boolean = False

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

Dim imap As ChilkatImap
imap.Initialize("imap")

'  Connect to an IMAP server..
imap.Ssl = True
imap.Port = 993
success = imap.Connect("imap.mail.me.com")
If success <> True Then
    Log(imap.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


'  Imagine we've previously saved our encrypted login and password within a JSON config file
'  that contains this:

'  {
'    "imap_login": "fLkxsfnVaIWLiL/R32jo6g==",
'    "imap_password": "/NbaFBoCftBLFf8WBU9Xtw=="
'  }

Dim json As ChilkatJsonObject
json.Initialize
json.LoadFile("qa_data/passwords/imap.json")

Dim crypt As ChilkatCrypt2
crypt.Initialize("crypt")

'  These are the encryption settings we previously used to encrypt the credentials within the JSON config file.
crypt.CryptAlgorithm = "aes"
crypt.CipherMode = "cbc"
crypt.KeyLength = 128

crypt.EncodingMode = "base64"

Dim ssLogin As ChilkatSecureString
ssLogin.Initialize
Dim ssPassword As ChilkatSecureString
ssPassword.Initialize

'  Decrypt to the secure string.  (the strings will still held in memory encrypted, but are now encrypted using
'  a randomly generated session key.)

'  Pass the credentials to the LoginSecure method:
