PKCS11 Establish Session with Login (QuickSession)

See more PKCS11 Examples

Demonstrates a shorter and quicker way to establish a PKCS11 session.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.96 or later.

C++

#include <CkPkcs11.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool 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.

    CkPkcs11 pkcs11;

    // Use the PKCS11 driver (.dll, .so, .dylib) for your particular HSM.
    // For example:
    pkcs11.put_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.
    const char *pin = "0000";

    // Normal user = 1
    int 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) {
        std::cout << pkcs11.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

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

    pkcs11.Logout();
    pkcs11.CloseSession();

    std::cout << "Success." << "\r\n";
    }
