    // --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // The FindCert method can find a particular certificate in a number of different ways.
    // I'll demonstrate some common ways..

    // 1) In many cases you'll be working with a smart card that contains one certificate that is to be used for 
    // signing, and it is the certificate that is associated with the private key also stored on the smart card (or USB token).
    // There may be other certificates on the card, but these are the issuer certificates in the chain of authentication.
    // You're just interested in getting the certificate with the private key.
    // You can do it like this:
    Get Create (RefClass(cComChilkatCert)) To hoCert
    If (Not(IsComObjectCreated(hoCert))) Begin
        Send CreateComObject of hoCert
    End
    // Pass the keyword "privateKey" in the 1st argument, and an empty string in the 2nd arg.
    // This returns the 1st certificate that has a private key.
    Get pvComObject of hoCert to vCert
    Get ComFindCert Of hoPkcs11 "privateKey" "" vCert To iSuccess
    If (iSuccess = True) Begin
        Get ComSubjectCN Of hoCert To sTemp1
        Showln "Cert with private key: " sTemp1
    End
    Else Begin
        Showln "No certificates having a private key were found."
    End

    // 2) Find a certificate by the Subject Common Name
    Get pvComObject of hoCert to vCert
    Get ComFindCert Of hoPkcs11 "subjectCN" "Chil application account (8c9be8e0-5544-4cd0-9062-290fbff353a7)" vCert To iSuccess
    If (iSuccess = True) Begin
        Get ComSubjectCN Of hoCert To sTemp1

    End
    Else Begin
        Get ComSubjectCN Of hoCert To sTemp1
        Showln "Not found: " sTemp1
    End

    // 3) Find a certificate by hex serial number
    Get pvComObject of hoCert to vCert
    Get ComFindCert Of hoPkcs11 "serial" "5087bf1feda006af54a02f23a851104948acc26f" vCert To iSuccess
