(Node.js) Find and Load Certificate by Thumbprint

Demonstrates how to find and load a certificate by SHA1 thumbprint. This is a Microsoft Windows-only example. It assumes the certificate is already installed on the Windows system.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.83 or greater.

Install Chilkat for Node.js and Electron using npm at Chilkat npm packages for Node.js Chilkat npm packages for Electron on Windows, Linux, MacOSX, and ARM
