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

// The Chilkat PEM class was introduced in v9.5.0.49.  
// It requires the bundle to be unlocked, as shown above.
Chilkat.Pem pem = new Chilkat.Pem();

// Load the PEM from a file.
// If the PEM is encrypted, provide a password.  Otherwise pass an empty string for the password.
string password = "myPassword";
bool success = pem.LoadPemFile("../myPemFiles/myPem.pem",password);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(pem.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Note: If the app already has the PEM pre-loaded in a string variable, then load it 
// by calling LoadPem instead.  
string pemContent = "... the PEM contents ...";
success = pem.LoadPem(pemContent,password);
// Check for success as before..

// Convert to a JavaKeyStore object.
// The alias, if a non-empty string, will be applied to the 1st private key or 
// certificate.  All other keys and/or certificates will be assigned an auto-generated
// alias.
string alias = "anything_I_want_here";

// This is the passord that will be required to access the created JKS.
string jksPassword = "myJksSecret";
Chilkat.JavaKeyStore jks = pem.ToJks(alias,jksPassword);
if (pem.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(pem.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Save the JKS to a file.  The password passed here is used for the keyed hash of the
// entire JKS file.  This may be different (if desired) than the password for individual private keys
// contained within the JKS.  
success = jks.ToFile(jksPassword,"../myJksFiles/myJks.jks");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(jks.LastErrorText);
