See more Apple Keychain Examples

Send encrypted (S/MIME) email using a certificate found in the Apple Keychain.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v10.1.2 or later.

Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

email = Chilkat::CkEmail.new()
email.put_Subject("This email is encrypted")
email.put_Body("This is a S/MIME encrypted mail")
email.put_From("Joe <joe@example.com>")

# Emails are encrypted using the recipient's certificate.
recipientEmailAddr = "jane@example2.com"
email.AddTo("",recipientEmailAddr)

# Indicate that the email is to be sent encrypted.
email.put_SendEncrypted(true)

cert = Chilkat::CkCert.new()

# -----------------------------------------------
# This example requires Chilkat v10.1.2 or later.

# The recipient's certificate is used to encrypt.
# This will load the certificate from the Apple Keychain.

    print cert.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Specify the certificate to be used for encryption.
success = email.SetEncryptCert(cert)

# We'll get the SMTP password from the Apple Keychain.
# See how we originally saved the email credentials to the Keychain here:
# Save Email Credentials in Apple Keychain or Windows Credentials Manager

# On Windows, this is the Windows Credentials Manager
# On MacOS/iOS, it is the Apple Keychain

# Specify the name of the secret.
# service and username are required.
# appName and domain are optional.
# Note: The values are arbitrary and can be anything you want.
