Use a Certificate Vault for Chain Building

See more PFX/P12 Examples

Demonstrates Pfx.UseCertVault, which adds the certificates in an XmlCertVault to the set of sources available for later chain-building operations such as AddCert.

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.

Background. The call captures a point-in-time snapshot of the vault's certificates. Providing extra intermediate certificates lets Chilkat complete certificate chains when building a PFX.
