ABN AMRO Create Signed JSON Web Token

Demonstrates how to create a signed JWT to be used for authenticating requests to the ABN AMRO REST API's. Visual Basic 6.0

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

' Create public/private key pair (RSA)

' Write one PEM file for the private key, and one for the public key.

' Note: Please share your public key along with your app name and developer email id at api.support@nl.abnamro.com. 
' Token generation will not work unless public key is associated with your app.

' Create the JWT.
