    //  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.

    var pkcs11 = new chilkat.Pkcs11();

    //  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.SharedLibPath = "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.  

    success = pkcs11.Initialize();
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(pkcs11.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

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

    //  Open a read/write session.
    var readWrite = true;
    success = pkcs11.OpenSession(slotID,readWrite);
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(pkcs11.LastErrorText);
        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).

    success = pkcs11.CloseSession();
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(pkcs11.LastErrorText);
