var success = false;

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

// First load the PKCS12 (.p12 / .pfx) into a PFX object.
var pfx = new CkPfx();
success = pfx.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/pfx/chilkat25-cbd7b42afbd8.p12","notasecret");
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(pfx.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

var gAuth = new CkAuthGoogle();
success = gAuth.SetP12(pfx);

// The ISS is your service account email address ending in gserviceaccount.com.
var iss = "chilkatsvc@chilkat25.iam.gserviceaccount.com";

// The scope is always the following string:
var scope = "https://mail.google.com/";

// The sub is your company email address
var oauth_sub = "info@chilkat.xyz";

// The access token is valid for this number of seconds.
var numSec = 3600;

gAuth.EmailAddress = iss;
gAuth.Scope = scope;
gAuth.ExpireNumSeconds = numSec;
gAuth.SubEmailAddress = oauth_sub;

// Connect to www.googleapis.com
var tlsSock = new CkSocket();
success = tlsSock.Connect("www.googleapis.com",443,true,5000);
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(tlsSock.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Send the request to obtain the access token.
success = gAuth.ObtainAccessToken(tlsSock);
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(gAuth.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Examine the access token:
console.log("Access Token: " + gAuth.AccessToken);
