(Excel) Examine Client Certificates for an Accepted TLS Connection

Demonstrates how to access the client certificates for a TLS connection accepted by your application acting as the server.

' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Dim listenSslSocket As Chilkat.Socket
Set listenSslSocket = Chilkat.NewSocket

' An SSL/TLS server needs a digital certificate.  This example loads it from a PFX file.
' This is the server's certificate.

Dim cert As Chilkat.Cert
Set cert = Chilkat.NewCert

success = cert.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/serverCert/myServerCert.pfx","pfx_password")
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.Print cert.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' To accept client client certificates in the TLS handshake,
' we must indicate a list of acceptable client certificate root CA DN's
' that are allowed.  (DN is an acronym for Distinguished Name.)
' Call AddSslAcceptableClientCaDn once for each acceptable CA DN.
' Here are a few examples so you can see the general format of a DN.
success = listenSslSocket.AddSslAcceptableClientCaDn("C=SE, O=AddTrust AB, OU=AddTrust External TTP Network, CN=AddTrust External CA Root")
success = listenSslSocket.AddSslAcceptableClientCaDn("O=Digital Signature Trust Co., CN=DST Root CA X3")

' Initialize with our server's TLS certificate.
success = listenSslSocket.InitSslServer(cert)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.Print listenSslSocket.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' Bind and listen on a port:

myPort = 8123
' Allow for a max of 5 queued connect requests.

backLog = 5
success = listenSslSocket.BindAndListen(myPort,backLog)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.Print listenSslSocket.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' Accept the next incoming connection.

maxWaitMillisec = 20000

Set clientSock = listenSslSocket.AcceptNextConnection(maxWaitMillisec)
If (listenSslSocket.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.Print listenSslSocket.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' Examine the client certs chain.  The 1st cert will be the client certificate, and
' the subsequent certs will be the certs in the chain of authentication.

numClientCerts = clientSock.NumReceivedClientCerts
Debug.Print "numClientCerts = "; numClientCerts


i = 0
Do While i < numClientCerts

    Set clientCert = clientSock.GetReceivedClientCert(i)
    Debug.Print clientCert.SubjectDN

    i = i + 1
Loop

' Close the connection with the client
success = clientSock.Close(1000)
