Set a TLS Client Certificate from a PEM

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.SetSslClientCertPem, which loads and configures a TLS client certificate and private key from PEM data or a PEM file.

The file path is relative to the application's current working directory. An absolute path may also be used. Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local socket = chilkat.Socket.new()

-- The file path is relative to the application's current working directory.  An absolute path
-- may also be used.  Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.
-- The PEM password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
local pemPassword = "myPemPassword"

-- Load and configure the TLS client certificate and private key from a PEM file.  Configure the
-- client certificate before connecting.
local success = socket:set_ssl_client_cert_pem("qa_data/client.pem", pemPassword)
if not success then
    print(socket.last_error_text)
    return
end

local bTls = true
local maxWaitMs = 5000
success = socket:connect("example.com", 5000, bTls, maxWaitMs)
if not success then
    print(socket.last_error_text)
    return
end

print("Connected with mutual TLS.")
