// 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.

Chilkat.Pkcs11 pkcs11 = new Chilkat.Pkcs11();

// Use the PKCS11 driver (.dll, .so, .dylib) for your particular HSM.
// For example:
pkcs11.SharedLibPath = "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.
string pin = "0000";

// Normal user = 1
int userType = 1;

// Establish a logged-on user session with the HSM.
// The call to QuickSession takes the place of calling Initialize, OpenSession, and Login.
bool success = pkcs11.QuickSession(userType,pin);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(pkcs11.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

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

pkcs11.Logout();
pkcs11.CloseSession();

Debug.WriteLine("Success.");
