Set a TLS Client Certificate from a PFX

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.SetSslClientCertPfx, which loads and configures a TLS client certificate and private key from a PFX/P12 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.

import sys
import chilkat2

success = False

socket = chilkat2.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.
pfxPassword = "myPfxPassword"

# Load and configure the TLS client certificate and private key from a PFX/P12 file.  Configure the
# client certificate before connecting.
success = socket.SetSslClientCertPfx("qa_data/client.pfx",pfxPassword)
if (success == False):
    print(socket.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

bTls = True
maxWaitMs = 5000
success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs)
if (success == False):
    print(socket.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

print("Connected with mutual TLS.")
