PKCS11 Sessions

See more PKCS11 Examples

Sample code showing how to open a PKCS11 session and then later close it.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.88 or later.

Zig

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // Note: Chilkat's PKCS11 implementation runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and other supported operating systems.

    const pkcs11 = try chilkat.Pkcs11.init();
    defer pkcs11.deinit();

    // Set your shared lib path -- either a full path to the DLL, .so, or .dylib,
    // or just the filename if the driver is in a location that can be automatically found. (Such as in C:\Windows\System32)
    pkcs11.setSharedLibPath("ShuttleCsp11_3003.dll");

    // Starting in Chilkat v9.5.0.96, there is a shorter way to establish
    // a PKCS11 session with login.
    // The QuickSession method was added in v9.5.0.96 and is the equivalent of
    // calling Initialize, OpenSession, and Login.

    pkcs11.initialize() catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try pkcs11.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    // Pass -1 for the slotID to open a session on the first non-empty slot.
    const slot_id = -1;

    // Open a read/write session.
    const read_write = true;
    pkcs11.openSession(slot_id, read_write) catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try pkcs11.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    // Do whatever is needed...
    // ...
    // ...

    // When finished, close the session.
    // It is important to close the session (memory leaks will occur if the session is not properly closed).

    pkcs11.closeSession() catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try pkcs11.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    std.debug.print("PKCS11 session successfully opened and closed.\n", .{});
