(Go) Using Client Certificate w/ IMAP SSL

Demonstrates how to use a client-side certificate with an IMAP SSL connection. The SetSslClientCert method is called to specify a certificate to be used for the SSL connection.

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

    imap := chilkat.NewImap()

    // To use a secure SSL connection, set SSL and the port:
    imap.SetSsl(true)
    // The typical port for IMAP SSL is 993
    imap.SetPort(993)

    // Load a certificate from a PFX file and use it.
    // Note: Other methods are available to load pre-installed
    // certificates from registry-based certificate stores.

    // Create an instance of a certificate store object, load a PFX file,
    // locate the certificate we need, and use it for signing.
    // (a PFX file may contain more than one certificate.)
    certStore := chilkat.NewCertStore()
    // The 1st argument is the filename, the 2nd arg is the 
    // PFX file's password:
    success := certStore.LoadPfxFile("myCertWithPrivateKey.pfx","secret")

    // If a PFX file is known to contain a single certificate,
    // you may load it directly into a Chilkat certificate object.
    // This snippet of source code shows how:

    // The 1st argument is the filename, the 2nd arg is the 
    // PFX file's password:
