Perl Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Use a Custom Set of Trusted Root Certificates

See more Certificates Examples

Demonstrates how to build a set of trusted root certificates to be used globally by all Chilkat classes. Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

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

$trustedRoots = chilkat::CkTrustedRoots->new();

#   Indicate that we will NOT trust any pre-installed certificates on the system.
$trustedRoots->put_TrustSystemCaRoots(0);

#  Thawte is a certificate authority that provides a .zip download of their
#  root CA certificates:  https://www.thawte.com/roots/index.html
#  The direct download link is: https://www.verisign.com/support/thawte-roots.zip
#  Note: The above URLs are valid at the time of writing this example (29-May-2015).

#  Assuming the .zip has already been downloaded, open it and load each .pem file into
#  our trusted roots object.
$zip = chilkat::CkZip->new();

#  Open a .zip containing PEM files, among other things..
$success = $zip->OpenZip("qa_data/certs/thawte-roots.zip");
if ($success == 0) {
    print $zip->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

$entry = chilkat::CkZipEntry->new();

$cert = chilkat::CkCert->new();

$pattern = "*.pem";
$bHasMoreEntries = $zip->EntryMatching($pattern,$entry);
while ($bHasMoreEntries == 1) {

    print "Entry: " . $entry->fileName() . "\r\n";

    #  Get the PEM of the CA cert:
    $pemStr = $entry->unzipToString(0,"utf-8");

    #  Load it into a certificate object:
    $success = $cert->LoadPem($pemStr);
    if ($success != 1) {
        print $cert->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    }

    #  Add it to the trusted roots.
    $trustedRoots->AddCert($cert);

    $bHasMoreEntries = $entry->GetNextMatch($pattern);
}

#   Activate the trusted roots globally for all Chilkat objects.
#   This call really shouldn't fail, so we're not checking the return value.
$success = $trustedRoots->Activate();
