(Swift) Use a Custom Set of Trusted Root Certificates

Demonstrates how to build a set of trusted root certificates to be used globally by all Chilkat classes.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

func chilkatTest() {

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

    let trustedRoots = CkoTrustedRoots()!

    //  Indicate that we will NOT trust any pre-installed certificates on the system.
    trustedRoots.trustSystemCaRoots = false

    // Thawte is a certificate authority that provides a .zip download of their
    // root CA certificates:  https://www.thawte.com/roots/index.html

    // Assuming the .zip has already been downloaded, open it and load each .pem file into
    // our trusted roots object.
    let zip = CkoZip()!

    // Open a .zip containing PEM files, among other things..
    success = zip.open("qa_data/certs/thawte-roots.zip")

    var pemStr: String?
    let cert = CkoCert()!

    var pattern: String? = "*.pem"
    var bHasMoreEntries: Bool = zip.entry(matching: pattern, entry: entry)

        print("Entry: \(entry.fileName!)")

        // Get the PEM of the CA cert:
        pemStr = entry.unzip(toString: 0, srcCharset: "utf-8")

        // Load it into a certificate object:
        success = cert.loadPem(pemStr)
        if success != true {
            print("\(cert.lastErrorText!)")
        }

        // Add it to the trusted roots.
        trustedRoots.add(cert)

        bHasMoreEntries = entry.getNextMatch(pattern)
    }

    //  Activate the trusted roots globally for all Chilkat objects.
    //  This call really shouldn't fail, so we're not checking the return value.
    success = trustedRoots.activate()
