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.

Dim success As Long
success = 0

Dim socket As New ChilkatSocket

'  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.
Dim pemPassword As String
pemPassword = "myPemPassword"

'  Load and configure the TLS client certificate and private key from a PEM file.  Configure the
'  client certificate before connecting.
success = socket.SetSslClientCertPem("qa_data/client.pem",pemPassword)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print socket.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

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

Debug.Print "Connected with mutual TLS."
