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

loDsa = CreateObject('Chilkat.Dsa')

* Load a PEM private key.

lcPemPrivateKey = loDsa.LoadText("dsa_priv.pem")
* Import the unencrypted PEM into the DSA object.
lnSuccess = loDsa.FromPem(lcPemPrivateKey)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loDsa.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loDsa
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Write it out as a DER file:
lnSuccess = loDsa.ToDerFile("dsa_priv.der")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loDsa.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loDsa
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Load an encrypted PEM private key.
lcPemPrivateKey = loDsa.LoadText("dsa_privEncrypted.pem")
* Import the encrypted PEM into the DSA object.
lnSuccess = loDsa.FromEncryptedPem("myPassword",lcPemPrivateKey)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loDsa.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loDsa
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Write it out as an unencrypted DER file:
lnSuccess = loDsa.ToDerFile("dsa_priv2.der")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loDsa.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loDsa
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? "Finished!"

RELEASE loDsa
