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

    // In order to sign your HTTP requests, you have to add 2 headers to the HTTP request: Digest: the digest of the request payload and Signature: the actual signature of the request. 

    // POST /xs2a/customer-access-tokens HTTP/1.1
    // Host: api.ibanity.com
    // Content-Type: application/json
    // Digest: SHA-512=z4PhNX7vuL3xVChQ1m2AB9Yg5AULVxXcg/SpIdNs6c5H0NE8XYXysP+DGNKHfuwvY7kxvUdBeoGlODJ6+SfaPg==
    // Ibanity-Idempotency-Key: 61f02718-eeee-46e1-b5eb-e8fd6e799c2d
    // Signature: keyId="62f02718-eeee-46e1-b5eb-e8fd6e799c2e",created=1599659223,algorithm="hs2019",headers="(request-target) host digest (created) ibanity-idempotency-key",signature="SjWJWbWN7i0...zsbM="
    // 
    // {"data":{"type":"customerAccessToken", "attributes":{"applicationCustomerReference":"15874569"}}}

    // The payload (body) of the above HTTP request is the JSON.
    // Build the JSON above.
    // Use this online tool to generate code from sample JSON: 
    // Generate Code to Create JSON
    var json = new chilkat.JsonObject();
    json.UpdateString("data.type","customerAccessToken");
    json.UpdateString("data.attributes.applicationCustomerReference","15874569");

    var payload = json.Emit();
    console.log("payload = " + payload);

    // Step 1: Build the (created) virtual header

    var dtNow = new chilkat.CkDateTime();
    dtNow.SetFromCurrentSystemTime();
    var created = dtNow.GetAsUnixTimeStr(false);
    console.log("created = " + created);

    // Step 2: Build the Digest header
    var crypt = new chilkat.Crypt2();
    crypt.HashAlgorithm = "sha512";
    crypt.EncodingMode = "base64";
    crypt.Charset = "utf-8";

    var sbDigestHdrValue = new chilkat.StringBuilder();
    sbDigestHdrValue.Append("SHA-512=");
    sbDigestHdrValue.Append(crypt.HashStringENC(json.Emit()));

    console.log(sbDigestHdrValue.GetAsString());

    // Step 3: Build the (request target) virtual header

    // In order to build the signature you will need a virtual header named (request-target) (the parentheses are important). 
    // The (request-target) is the string concatenation of the HTTP method (in lowercase) with the path and query parameters.
    var request_target = "post /xs2a/customer-access-tokens";

    // Step 4: Build the signing string

    // The signing string is the concatenation of the signed header names (in lowercase) and values separated by a LF.

    // You must always sign the following headers: (request-target), host, (created), digest. 
    // If used, you must also sign the authorization header and any ibanity-* headers, such as ibanity-idempotency-key. 

    var sbSigningString = new chilkat.StringBuilder();
    sbSigningString.Append("(request-target): ");
    sbSigningString.AppendLine(request_target,false);
    sbSigningString.Append("host: ");
    sbSigningString.AppendLine("api.ibanity.com",false);
    sbSigningString.Append("digest: ");
    sbSigningString.AppendLine(sbDigestHdrValue.GetAsString(),false);
    sbSigningString.Append("(created): ");
    sbSigningString.AppendLine(created,false);
    sbSigningString.Append("ibanity-idempotency-key: ");
    var idempotencyKey = crypt.GenerateUuid();
    sbSigningString.Append(idempotencyKey);

    // Step 5: Build the signed headers list

    // To allow Ibanity to check the signed headers, you must provide a list of the header names. They should be lowercase and in the same order used to create the signing string. 
    var signed_headers_list = "(request-target) host digest (created) ibanity-idempotency-key";

    // Step 6: Build the Signature header

    // This is where the real signing happens. The signature header is a combination of several sub-headers -
    // 
    //     keyId: the identifier for the application's signature certificate, obtained from the Developer Portal
    //     algorithm: the digital signature algorithm used to generate the signature (must be hs2019)
    //     headers: The list of HTTP headers created in step 5
    //     signature: the Base64-encoded digital signature of the signing string created in step 4.

    var privKey = new chilkat.PrivateKey();
    success = privKey.LoadEncryptedPemFile("my_ibanity_signature_private_key.pem","pem_password");
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(privKey.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    var rsa = new chilkat.Rsa();
    rsa.PssSaltLen = 32;
    rsa.EncodingMode = "base64";
    // Use the RSASSA-PSS signature algorithm
    rsa.PkcsPadding = false;

    success = rsa.UsePrivateKey(privKey);
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(rsa.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    // Sign the signing string.
    var sigBase64 = rsa.SignStringENC(sbSigningString.GetAsString(),"sha-256");
    if (rsa.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
        console.log(rsa.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    // Build the signature header value.
    var sbSigHeaderValue = new chilkat.StringBuilder();
    sbSigHeaderValue.Append("keyId=\"");
    // Use your identifier for the application's signature certificate, obtained from the Developer Portal
    sbSigHeaderValue.Append("62f02718-eeee-46e1-b5eb-e8fd6e799c2e");
    sbSigHeaderValue.Append("\",created=");
    sbSigHeaderValue.Append(created);
    sbSigHeaderValue.Append(",algorithm=\"hs2019\",headers=\"");
    sbSigHeaderValue.Append(signed_headers_list);
