Set the Decryption Certificate and Private Key
See more Email Object Examples
Demonstrates the Chilkat Email.SetDecryptCert2 method, which explicitly provides a certificate and its corresponding private key as separate objects for decrypting a received encrypted email. Set them before loading the encrypted message. This example loads a .cer certificate and a PEM private key, sets both, then loads an encrypted email.
Background: Sometimes the certificate and its private key are stored separately — a public
.cer file plus a PEM (or other format) key file — rather than combined in a PFX. SetDecryptCert2 accepts the two objects individually, which is the natural fit for that arrangement. It is the two-object counterpart to SetDecryptCert, which takes a single certificate that already carries its private key.Chilkat Dart Downloads
