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.

bool success = false;

Chilkat.Socket socket = new Chilkat.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.
string 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) {
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

bool bTls = true;
int maxWaitMs = 5000;
success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine("Connected with mutual TLS.");
