(JavaScript) Client Certificate in REST (USB Token or Smartcard)

See more REST Examples

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

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

// This example shows how to use the Chilkat socket object's connection.
var rest = new CkRest();
var socket = new CkSocket();

// Set the certificate to be used for mutual TLS authentication
var cert = new CkCert();

// If the smartcard or token requires a PIN...
cert.SmartCardPin = "000000";

success = cert.LoadFromSmartcard("");
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(cert.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

success = socket.SetSslClientCert(cert);
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Establish the connection using the socket object (with client certificate authentication).
var bTls = true;
var port = 443;
var maxWaitMs = 5000;
success = socket.Connect("www.example.com",port,bTls,maxWaitMs);
if (success !== true) {
    console.log("Connect Failure Error Code: " + socket.ConnectFailReason);
    console.log(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

var bAutoReconnect = true;

// Use the connection:
success = rest.UseConnection(socket,bAutoReconnect);
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// At this point we are connected and can make REST calls...
// For example..
var responseJson = rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/someQuery");
if (rest.LastMethodSuccess !== true) {
    console.log(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}
