Using Client Certificate w/ IMAP SSL

Demonstrates how to use a client-side certificate with an IMAP SSL connection. The SetSslClientCert method is called to specify a certificate to be used for the SSL connection. C++

    {
    bool success = false;

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

    CkImap imap;

    // To use a secure SSL connection, set SSL and the port:
    imap.put_Ssl(true);
    // The typical port for IMAP SSL is 993
    imap.put_Port(993);

    // Load a certificate from a PFX file and use it.
    // Note: Other methods are available to load pre-installed
    // certificates from registry-based certificate stores.

    // Create an instance of a certificate store object, load a PFX file,
    // locate the certificate we need, and use it for signing.
    // (a PFX file may contain more than one certificate.)
    CkCertStore certStore;
    // The 1st argument is the filename, the 2nd arg is the 
    // PFX file's password:
    success = certStore.LoadPfxFile("myCertWithPrivateKey.pfx","secret");
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << certStore.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";

    CkJsonObject jsonCN;
    jsonCN.UpdateString("CN","cert common name");

        return;
    }

    // If a PFX file is known to contain a single certificate,
    // you may load it directly into a Chilkat certificate object.
    // This snippet of source code shows how:
    CkCert cert2;
    // The 1st argument is the filename, the 2nd arg is the 
    // PFX file's password:
    success = cert2.LoadPfxFile("myClientCert.pfx","secret");

    CkEmailBundle bundle;
    bool headersOnly = false;
    success = imap.FetchMsgSet(headersOnly,messageSet,bundle);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << imap.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // Loop over the bundle and display the FROM and SUBJECT of each.
