var success = false;

// On MacOS or iOS, this searches both the Default keychains and System keychains for the certificate
// having the specified CN.
var cert = new CkCert();
success = cert.LoadByCommonName("Certum CA");
if (success == false) {
    console.log(cert.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log(cert.SubjectDN);

// Note: In the Apple Keychain, a certificate with its private key represents an identity because it combines the certificate and its private key.
// When Chilkat loads a certificate from the Apple Keychain, it also gets the associated private key.
// You can simply use the cert in other places in Chilkat where a cert w/ private key is required.
var cert2 = new CkCert();
success = cert2.LoadByCommonName("Chilkat Software, Inc.");
if (success == false) {
    console.log(cert2.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log(cert2.SubjectDN);
var hasPrivKey = cert2.HasPrivateKey();
console.log("Has private key: " + hasPrivKey);

console.log("Success.");
