import sys
import chilkat2

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 = chilkat2.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.
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 = pkcs11.QuickSession(userType,pin)
if (success == False):
    print(pkcs11.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

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

pkcs11.Logout()
pkcs11.CloseSession()

print("Success.")
