Get the Configured Server-Side TLS Certificate

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.GetMyServerCert, which copies the TLS server certificate configured by InitSslServer into a Cert object.

The file path is relative to the application's current working directory. An absolute path may also be used. Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim socket As ChilkatSocket
socket.Initialize("socket")

'  The file path is relative to the application's current working directory.  An absolute path
'  may also be used.  Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.
'  The PFX password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
Dim pfxPassword As String = "myPfxPassword"
Dim cert As ChilkatCert
cert.Initialize("cert")
success = cert.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/server.pfx", pfxPassword)
If success = False Then
    Log(cert.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


success = socket.InitSslServer(cert)
If success = False Then
    Log(socket.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


'  Copy the TLS server certificate configured by InitSslServer, then inspect it.
Dim myCert As ChilkatCert
myCert.Initialize("myCert")
success = socket.GetMyServerCert(myCert)
If success = False Then
    Log(socket.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

Log("Server certificate subject: " & myCert.SubjectCN)
