Load Default Certificate from Smart Card or Token

See more Certificates Examples

Chilkat contains internal logic to examine a connected smart card or USB token, and will make decisions based on make/model to successfully interact with the hardware. When faced with a new smartcard or token, the best starting point is to call LoadFromSmartcard with an empty string argument to see what Chilkat discovers. Chilkat2 PHP

<?php

use Chilkat2\Cert;

$cert = new Cert();

// If you know the smart card PIN, it's good to set it prior to loading from the smartcard/USB token.
$cert->SmartCardPin = '12345678';

// To let Chilkat discover what smartcard or token is connected, pass an empty string to LoadFromSmartcard.
// When testing in this way, it's best to have only a single smartcard or token connected to the system.
try {
    $cert->LoadFromSmartcard('');
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
    echo "Certificate not loaded.\n";
    exit;
}

// The LastErrorText property on all Chilkat objects will contain
// information even when the method call is successful.
// You can examine the LastErrorText to see what Chilkat found and
// what decisions were made.
//
// For example, if a certificate was successfully loaded via LoadFromSmartcard,
// but then signing failed, such as w/ Pdf, XmlDSig, CAdES, etc.,
// then we would want to examine the LastErrorText from the call to
// LoadFromSmartcard to get detailed information about the card.
echo $cert->LastErrorText, "\n";

echo 'Found: ', $cert->SubjectDN, ' serial=', $cert->SerialNumber, "\n";
