function chilkatExample() {

    var success = false;

    // On MacOS or iOS, this searches both the Default keychains and System keychains for the certificate
    // having the specified CN.
    var cert = new chilkat.Cert();
    success = cert.LoadByCommonName("Certum CA");
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(cert.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    console.log(cert.SubjectDN);

    // Note: In the Apple Keychain, a certificate with its private key represents an identity because it combines the certificate and its private key.
    // When Chilkat loads a certificate from the Apple Keychain, it also gets the associated private key.
    // You can simply use the cert in other places in Chilkat where a cert w/ private key is required.
    var cert2 = new chilkat.Cert();
    success = cert2.LoadByCommonName("Chilkat Software, Inc.");
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(cert2.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    console.log(cert2.SubjectDN);
    var hasPrivKey = cert2.HasPrivateKey();
    console.log("Has private key: " + hasPrivKey);

    console.log("Success.");
