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

;  Chilkat recommends the following free tool for interactively examining the contents of your smart card
;  through the ScMinidriver interface:  MGTEK Tool for Minidriver enabled Smart Cards

;  Let's first look at our smart card before importing a private key.
;  Here's the view of our Gemalto (Thales) IDPrime MD T=0 smart card in the MGTEK tool:

;  (image:https://example-code.com/images/gemalto_idprime_md_t0.JPG/endImage)

;  First let's load a private key into the Chilkat private key object.
;  (Chilkat provides the ability to load private keys from many different sources and formats.
;  this example loads from a PEM file.)
$oPrivKey = ObjCreate("Chilkat.PrivateKey")
$bSuccess = $oPrivKey.LoadPemFile("qa_data/rsa/rsaPrivKey_pkcs8.pem")
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oPrivKey.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

$oScmd = ObjCreate("Chilkat.ScMinidriver")

;  First we need to acquire a context to the smart card in the reader where it is inserted.
;  Reader names (smart card readers or USB tokens) can be discovered
;  via List Readers or Find Smart Cards
Local $sReaderName = "Alcor Micro USB Smart Card Reader 0"
$bSuccess = $oScmd.AcquireContext($sReaderName)
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oScmd.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

;  If successful, the name of the currently inserted smart card is available:
ConsoleWrite("Card name: " & $oScmd.CardName & @CRLF)

;  To import a private key, we'll need to be PIN authenticated.
;  For more details about smart card PIN authentication, see the Smart Card PIN Authentication Example
Local $sPinId = "user"
Local $iRetval = $oScmd.PinAuthenticate($sPinId,"0000")
If ($iRetval <> 0) Then
    ConsoleWrite("PIN Authentication failed." & @CRLF)
    $oScmd.DeleteContext()
    Exit
EndIf

;  Let's import into the "key exchange" position in key container #7.
$bSuccess = $oScmd.ImportKey(7,"kex",$oPrivKey,"user")
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite("PIN Authentication failed." & @CRLF)
    $oScmd.DeleteContext()
    Exit
EndIf

$oScmd.DeleteContext()

ConsoleWrite("Success." & @CRLF)
