Get the Configured Server-Side TLS Certificate

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.GetMyServerCert, which copies the TLS server certificate configured by InitSslServer into a Cert object.

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 fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

set socket = CreateObject("Chilkat.Socket")

'  The PFX password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
