DKIM Signature using Windows Current User Certificate Store

See more DKIM / DomainKey Examples

This is a Windows-specific example to load a certificate from the Current User (registry-based) certificate store, and then use the certificate's associated private key for a DKIM signature. Delphi ActiveX

var
success: Integer;
cert: TChilkatCert;
privKey: TPrivateKey;
dkim: TChilkatDkim;

begin
success := 0;

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

cert := TChilkatCert.Create(Self);

//  The LoadByCommonName method searches the Windows Local Machine and Current User 
//  registry-based certificate stores for a certificate having the common name specified. 
//  If found, the certificate is loaded and ready for use.
success := cert.LoadByCommonName('My Certificate ABC');
if (success = 0) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(cert.LastErrorText);
    Exit;
  end;

//  The certificate must have an associated private key installed, and it must be a
//  private key that has been marked "exportable" when it was originally installed.
if (not cert.HasPrivateKey()) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add('This certificate does not have a private key available.');
