PKCS11 Establish Session with Login (QuickSession)

See more PKCS11 Examples

Demonstrates a shorter and quicker way to establish a PKCS11 session.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.96 or later.

C

#include <C_CkPkcs11.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    BOOL success;
    HCkPkcs11 pkcs11;
    const char *pin;
    int userType;

    success = FALSE;

    // 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.

    pkcs11 = CkPkcs11_Create();

    // Use the PKCS11 driver (.dll, .so, .dylib) for your particular HSM.
    // For example:
    CkPkcs11_putSharedLibPath(pkcs11,"C:/Program Files (x86)/Gemalto/IDGo 800 PKCS#11/IDPrimePKCS1164.dll");

    // Use your HSM's PIN to login.
    // If you wish to establish a session without logging in, then set the pin equal to the empty string.
    pin = "0000";

    // Normal user = 1
    userType = 1;

    // Establish a logged-on user session with the HSM.
    // The call to QuickSession takes the place of calling Initialize, OpenSession, and Login.
    success = CkPkcs11_QuickSession(pkcs11,userType,pin);
    if (success == FALSE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkPkcs11_lastErrorText(pkcs11));
        CkPkcs11_Dispose(pkcs11);
        return;
    }

    // Do whatever is needed in your PKCS11 session.
    // ...
    // ...

    CkPkcs11_Logout(pkcs11);
    CkPkcs11_CloseSession(pkcs11);

    printf("Success.\n");


    CkPkcs11_Dispose(pkcs11);
