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

# This example will duplicate the following Java code:
# 
# Signature sign = Signature.getInstance("SHA256withRSA");
# sign.initSign(privateKey);
# sign.update(original.getBytes(Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1")));
# 
# ...
# byte[] resultado = sign.sign();
# sello = encodeByteArrayToBase64(resultado);
# 

# Load an RSA private key for signing.
# You can load any format file.  This example loads a .pem, but you can provide path to any type of file holding a private key.
privKey = chilkat2.PrivateKey()
success = privKey.LoadAnyFormatFile("qa_data/pem/rsa_passwd.pem","passwd")
