(Go) Iterate Keys and Certs in PEM

Demonstrates how to access each of the private keys and certs contained within a PEM.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

    success := false

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

    pem := Pem_Ref.html">chilkat.NewPem()

    // Load the PEM from a file.
    // If the PEM is encrypted, provide a password.  Otherwise pass an empty string for the password.
    password := "myPassword"
    success = pem.LoadPemFile("../myPemFiles/myPem.pem",password)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(pem.LastErrorText())

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