PKCS11 Sessions

Sample code showing how to open a PKCS11 session and then later close it. Chilkat2 Perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Chilkat2;

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

# Note: Chilkat's PKCS11 implementation runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and other supported operating systems.

my $pkcs11 = Chilkat2::Pkcs11->new;

# Set your shared lib path -- either a full path to the DLL, .so, or .dylib,
# or just the filename if the driver is in a location that can be automatically found. (Such as in C:\Windows\System32)
$pkcs11->SharedLibPath('ShuttleCsp11_3003.dll');

# There is a shorter way to establish
# a PKCS11 session with login.
# The QuickSession method is the equivalent of
# calling Initialize, OpenSession, and Login.

my $success = $pkcs11->Initialize();
if (!$success) {
    print $pkcs11->LastErrorText, "\n";
    exit;
}

# Pass -1 for the slotID to open a session on the first non-empty slot.
my $slotID = -1;

# Open a read/write session.
my $readWrite = 1;
$success = $pkcs11->OpenSession($slotID, $readWrite);
if (!$success) {
    print $pkcs11->LastErrorText, "\n";
    exit;
}

# Do whatever is needed...
# ...
# ...

# When finished, close the session.
# It is important to close the session (memory leaks will occur if the session is not properly closed).

$success = $pkcs11->CloseSession();
if (!$success) {
    print $pkcs11->LastErrorText, "\n";
    exit;
}
