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

loCert = CreateObject('Chilkat.Cert')

lcPfxFilepath = "qa_data/pfx/my.pfx"
lcPfxPassword = "secret"

* A PFX typically contains certificates in the chain of authentication.
* The Chilkat cert object will choose the certificate w/
* private key farthest from the root authority cert.
* To access all the certificates in a PFX, use the 
* Chilkat certificate store object instead.

* Authenticate with the SSH server using a username + private key.
* (The private key serves as the password.  The username identifies
* the SSH user account on the server.)

? "OK, the connection and authentication with the SSH server is completed."

* This example is only to show the connection + authentication using a private key associated with a certificate in the Windows certificate store...
