DKIM Signature using Windows Current User Certificate Store

See more DKIM / DomainKey Examples

This is a Windows-specific example to load a certificate from the Current User (registry-based) certificate store, and then use the certificate's associated private key for a DKIM signature. Java

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

    CkCert cert = new CkCert();

    // The LoadByCommonName method searches the Windows Local Machine and Current User 
    // registry-based certificate stores for a certificate having the common name specified. 
    // If found, the certificate is loaded and ready for use.
    success = cert.LoadByCommonName("My Certificate ABC");

        System.out.println(cert.lastErrorText());

        }

    // The certificate must have an associated private key installed, and it must be a
    // private key that has been marked "exportable" when it was originally installed.
    if (!cert.HasPrivateKey()) {
        System.out.println("This certificate does not have a private key available.");
        return;
