PKCS11 Login / Logout

See more PKCS11 Examples

Sample code showing how to login and logout of a PKCS11 session. A session becomes authenticated when Login is called, and returns to the unauthenticated state when Logout is called. A smart card's PIN is passed to the Login method.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.88 or later.

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

* Note: Chilkat's PKCS11 implementation runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and other supported operating systems.

loPkcs11 = CreateObject('Chilkat.Pkcs11')

* Set your shared lib path -- either a full path to the DLL, .so, or .dylib,
* or just the filename if the driver is in a location that can be automatically found. (Such as in C:\Windows\System32)
loPkcs11.SharedLibPath = "aetpkss1.dll"

lnSuccess = loPkcs11.Initialize()
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loPkcs11.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loPkcs11
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Pass -1 for the slotID to open a session on the first non-empty slot.
lnSlotID = -1

* Open a session.
lnReadWrite = 1
lnSuccess = loPkcs11.OpenSession(lnSlotID,lnReadWrite)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loPkcs11.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loPkcs11
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Make it an authenticated session by calling Login.
* The smart card PIN is passed to the Login method.
* The user type can be one of three choices:
* 0 - Security Officer
* 1 - Normal User
* 2 - Context Specific.
* You'll likely always login as the Normal User.
lnUserType = 1
lcPin = "0000"
lnSuccess = loPkcs11.Login(lnUserType,lcPin)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loPkcs11.LastErrorText
    lnSuccess = loPkcs11.CloseSession()
    RELEASE loPkcs11
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Do what is needed with the authenticated session...
* ...
* ...

* Revert to an unauthenticated session by calling Logout.
lnSuccess = loPkcs11.Logout()
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loPkcs11.LastErrorText
    lnSuccess = loPkcs11.CloseSession()
    RELEASE loPkcs11
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* When finished, close the session.
* It is important to close the session (memory leaks will occur if the session is not properly closed).
