Client Certificate in REST

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates how to use a client certificate with a REST connection. Chilkat2 PHP

<?php

use Chilkat2\Rest;
use Chilkat2\Socket;

// 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.
$rest = new Rest();
$socket = new Socket();

// Set the certificate to be used for mutual TLS authentication
// (i.e. sets the client-side certificate for two-way TLS authentication)
// Note: There are other ways to set the client certificate using Chilkat.
// For example, on Windows systems, a Chilkat certificate object could be loaded with certificate
// pre-installed (with private key) in a Windows certificate store, and then socket.SetSslClientCert could be called.
try {
    $socket->SetSslClientCertPfx('/home/bob/pfxFiles/myClientSideCertWithPrivateKey.pfx', 'pfxPassword');
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
    exit;
}

// Note: The certificate used for the client-side of TLS mutual authentication
// must have the associated private key available. (.pfx/.p12 files typically store both
// the certificate and associated private key.)

// Establish the connection using the socket object (with client certificate authentication).

try {
