(C) Find and Load Certificate by Thumbprint

Demonstrates how to find and load a certificate by SHA1 thumbprint. This is a Microsoft Windows-only example. It assumes the certificate is already installed on the Windows system.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.83 or greater.

    // The thumbprint can be passed in any encoding, such as hex, base64, etc.
    // The 2nd argument indicates the encoding of the 1st argument.

    printf("Found: %s\n",CkCert_subjectDN(cert));


    CkCert_Dispose(cert);
