Validate a Smartcard PIN

See more Certificates Examples

Validates a smartcard PIN. This example only runs on Windows and requires Chilkat v9.5.0.77 or greater. C++

#include <CkCert.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    // Note: Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.77 or greater.

    CkCert cert;

    cert.put_SmartCardPin("000000");

    // Load the certificate on the smartcard currently in the reader (or on the USB token).
    // Pass an empty string to allow Chilkat to automatically choose the CSP (Cryptographi Service Provider).
    // See Load Certificate on Smartcard for information about explicitly selecting a particular CSP.
    success = cert.LoadFromSmartcard("");
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << cert.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // Check to see if the SmartCardPin property contains the valid PIN for the smartcard.
    int pinValid = cert.CheckSmartCardPin();
    if (pinValid < 0) {
        std::cout << "Unable to check the PIN validity." << "\r\n";
        std::cout << cert.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    if (pinValid == 1) {
        std::cout << "PIN is valid." << "\r\n";
    }
    else {
        std::cout << "PIN is invalid." << "\r\n";
    }
    }
