Set a TLS Client Certificate from a PEM

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.SetSslClientCertPem, which loads and configures a TLS client certificate and private key from PEM data or a PEM file.

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 PEM password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
Dim pemPassword As String = "myPemPassword"

'  Load and configure the TLS client certificate and private key from a PEM file.  Configure the
'  client certificate before connecting.
success = socket.SetSslClientCertPem("qa_data/client.pem", pemPassword)
If success = False Then
    Log(socket.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


Dim bTls As Boolean = True
Dim maxWaitMs As Int = 5000
success = socket.Connect("example.com", 5000, bTls, maxWaitMs)
If success = False Then
    Log(socket.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

Log("Connected with mutual TLS.")
