Get the Server Certificate from a TLS Connection

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.GetServerCert, which copies the certificate presented by the remote TLS server into a Cert object for inspection.

Dim success As Long
success = 0

Dim socket As New ChilkatSocket

'  Connect to the server using TLS.
Dim bTls As Long
bTls = 1
Dim maxWaitMs As Long
maxWaitMs = 5000
success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print socket.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

'  Copy the certificate presented by the remote TLS server, then inspect it.  This can be used to
'  validate the server's identity.
Dim cert As New ChilkatCert
success = socket.GetServerCert(cert)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print socket.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.Print "Server certificate subject: " & cert.SubjectCN
Debug.Print "Issued by: " & cert.IssuerCN
