Load Certificate (.cer) and Private Key (.pvk) generated from makecert

See more Certificates Examples

Demonstrates how to load a certificate (.cer) and private key (.pvk) from the files produced by makecert, such as in the following command:

makecert -sv mycertificate.pvk -n "CN=My Simple Certificate" mycertificate.cer -sky Exchange

    // Next, load the .pvk file.
    // Note: The password "secret" is what you entered when makecert displayed the dialog asking for a password..

    defer pdf.deinit();

    // ...

    // Some Chilkat classes also provide a method where the cert and private key can be passed separately.
    // For example, if SetSigningCert2 is called, then we don't need to explicitly associate the private key with the cert.
    try pdf.setSigningCert2(cert, priv_key);
