IMAP Login Secure

Demonstrates how to use the LoginSecure method introduced in Chilkat v9.5.0.71. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

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

imap = chilkat.CkImap()

# Connect to an IMAP server..
imap.put_Ssl(True)
imap.put_Port(993)
success = imap.Connect("imap.mail.me.com")
if (success != True):
    print(imap.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# Imagine we've previously saved our encrypted login and password within a JSON config file
# that contains this:

# {
#   "imap_login": "fLkxsfnVaIWLiL/R32jo6g==",
#   "imap_password": "/NbaFBoCftBLFf8WBU9Xtw=="
# }

json = chilkat.CkJsonObject()
json.LoadFile("qa_data/passwords/imap.json")

crypt = chilkat.CkCrypt2()

# These are the encryption settings we previously used to encrypt the credentials within the JSON config file.
crypt.put_CryptAlgorithm("aes")
crypt.put_CipherMode("cbc")
crypt.put_KeyLength(128)
crypt.SetEncodedKey("000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F","hex")
crypt.SetEncodedIV("000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F","hex")
crypt.put_EncodingMode("base64")

ssLogin = chilkat.CkSecureString()
ssPassword = chilkat.CkSecureString()

# Decrypt to the secure string.  (the strings will still held in memory encrypted, but are now encrypted using
# a randomly generated session key.)
crypt.DecryptSecureENC(json.stringOf("imap_login"),ssLogin)
crypt.DecryptSecureENC(json.stringOf("imap_password"),ssPassword)

# Pass the credentials to the LoginSecure method:
success = imap.LoginSecure(ssLogin,ssPassword)
if (success != True):
    print(imap.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# ...

imap.Disconnect()
