PKCS11 Sessions

Sample code showing how to open a PKCS11 session and then later close it.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.88 or later.

// 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.

pkcs11 := TChilkatPkcs11.Create(Self);

// Set your shared lib path -- either a full path to the DLL, .so, or .dylib,
// or just the filename if the driver is in a location that can be automatically found. (Such as in C:\Windows\System32)
pkcs11.SharedLibPath := 'ShuttleCsp11_3003.dll';

// Starting in Chilkat v9.5.0.96, there is a shorter way to establish
// a PKCS11 session with login.
// The QuickSession method was added in v9.5.0.96 and is the equivalent of 
// calling Initialize, OpenSession, and Login.  

success := pkcs11.Initialize();
if (success = 0) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(pkcs11.LastErrorText);
    Exit;
  end;

// Pass -1 for the slotID to open a session on the first non-empty slot.
slotID := -1;

// Open a read/write session.
readWrite := 1;
success := pkcs11.OpenSession(slotID,readWrite);
if (success = 0) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(pkcs11.LastErrorText);
    Exit;
  end;

// Do whatever is needed...
// ...
// ...

// When finished, close the session.
// It is important to close the session (memory leaks will occur if the session is not properly closed).

success := pkcs11.CloseSession();
if (success = 0) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(pkcs11.LastErrorText);
    Exit;
