Set a TLS Client Certificate from a PEM

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.SetSslClientCertPem, which loads and configures a TLS client certificate and private key from PEM data or a PEM file.

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.

import { Socket } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  const socket = new Socket();

  // 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.
  // The PEM password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
  const pemPassword = 'myPemPassword';

  // Load and configure the TLS client certificate and private key from a PEM file.  Configure the
  // client certificate before connecting.
  try {
    socket.setSslClientCertPem('qa_data/client.pem', pemPassword);
  } catch {
    console.log(socket.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  const bTls = true;
  const maxWaitMs = 5000;
  try {
    await socket.connectAsync('example.com', 5000, bTls, maxWaitMs);
  } catch {
    console.log(socket.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  console.log('Connected with mutual TLS.');
