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

// Note: This example is using a relative file path.  You can also specify a full file path, such as "C:/someDir/myCertAndKey.pfx"
// or a file path the makes sense on non-Windows operating systems..
