Load Default Certificate from Smart Card or Token

See more Certificates Examples

Chilkat contains internal logic to examine a connected smart card or USB token, and will make decisions based on make/model to successfully interact with the hardware. When faced with a new smartcard or token, the best starting point is to call LoadFromSmartcard with an empty string argument to see what Chilkat discovers. Xbase++

LOCAL nSuccess
LOCAL oCert

nSuccess := 0

oCert := CreateObject("Chilkat.Cert")

//  If you know the smart card PIN, it's good to set it prior to loading from the smartcard/USB token.
oCert:SmartCardPin := "12345678"

//  To let Chilkat discover what smartcard or token is connected, pass an empty string to LoadFromSmartcard.
//  When testing in this way, it's best to have only a single smartcard or token connected to the system.
nSuccess := oCert:LoadFromSmartcard("")
IF (nSuccess == 0)
    ? oCert:LastErrorText
    ? "Certificate not loaded."
    oCert:destroy()
    RETURN
ENDIF

//  The LastErrorText property on all Chilkat objects will contain 
//  information even when the method call is successful.
//  You can examine the LastErrorText to see what Chilkat found and
//  what decisions were made.
//  
//  For example, if a certificate was successfully loaded via LoadFromSmartcard,
//  but then signing failed, such as w/ Pdf, XmlDSig, CAdES, etc.,
//  then we would want to examine the LastErrorText from the call to
//  LoadFromSmartcard to get detailed information about the card.
