    success = FALSE;

    // On MacOS or iOS, this searches both the Default keychains and System keychains for the certificate
    // having the specified CN.
    cert = CkCert_Create();
    success = CkCert_LoadByCommonName(cert,"Certum CA");

    // Note: In the Apple Keychain, a certificate with its private key represents an identity because it combines the certificate and its private key.
    // When Chilkat loads a certificate from the Apple Keychain, it also gets the associated private key.
    // You can simply use the cert in other places in Chilkat where a cert w/ private key is required.
