Add a PFX Source to MailMan from BinData

See more POP3 Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat MailMan.AddPfxSourceBd method, which adds a PFX/PKCS#12 certificate store to the MailMan object's internal list of sources used for locating certificates and private keys. The first argument is a BinData containing the PFX bytes and the second is the PFX password. This example loads a PFX into a BinData, registers it, and fetches a message Chilkat can decrypt.

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

-- to the MailMan object's internal list of sources used for locating certificates and

local mailman = chilkat.MailMan.new()

-- Configure the POP3 server connection.
mailman.mail_host = "pop.example.com"
mailman.mail_port = 995
mailman.pop_ssl = true
mailman.pop_username = "user@example.com"
mailman.pop_password = "myPassword"

-- Load the PFX bytes into a BinData (they could come from a file, database, or secrets store).
local bdPfx = chilkat.BinData.new()
local success = bdPfx:load_file("qa_data/certs/decryption.pfx")
if not success then
    print(bdPfx.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Add the PFX as a source of certificates and private keys.
success = mailman:add_pfx_source_bd(bdPfx, "pfx_password")
if not success then
    print(mailman.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Fetch a message; if it is encrypted, Chilkat can decrypt it using the PFX source.
local email = chilkat.Email.new()
success = mailman:fetch_one(false, 0, 1, email)
if not success then
    print(mailman.last_error_text)
    return
end

print("Decrypted = " .. tostring(email.decrypted))

-- Note: The path "qa_data/certs/decryption.pfx" is a relative local filesystem path,
-- relative to the current working directory of the running application.

-- Note: Explicitly connecting/authenticating is optional.  Chilkat MailMan automatically
-- connects and authenticates -- using the property settings above -- whenever a server
-- operation requires it.  Calling the explicit connect/authenticate methods can still be
-- helpful to determine whether a failure occurs while connecting or while authenticating.
