Client Certificate in REST (USB Token or Smartcard)

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates how to use a client certificate with a REST connection where the certificate and private key are located on a USB token or smart card. Go

    success := false

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

    // This example shows how to use the Chilkat socket object's connection.
    rest := chilkat.NewRest()
    socket := chilkat.NewSocket()

    // Set the certificate to be used for mutual TLS authentication
    cert := chilkat.NewCert()

    // If the smartcard or token requires a PIN...
    cert.SetSmartCardPin("000000")

    success = cert.LoadFromSmartcard("")
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(cert.LastErrorText())
        rest.DisposeRest()
        socket.DisposeSocket()
        cert.DisposeCert()
        return
    }

    success = socket.SetSslClientCert(cert)
    if success != true {
