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 fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

success = 0

set socket = CreateObject("Chilkat.Socket")

'  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.
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
    outFile.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

bTls = 1
maxWaitMs = 5000
success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs)
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

outFile.WriteLine("Connected with mutual TLS.")

outFile.Close
