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

# The Chilkat PEM class was introduced in v9.5.0.49.  
# It requires the bundle to be unlocked, as shown above.
$pem = chilkat::CkPem->new();

# 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 != 1) {
    print $pem->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# 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..

# Convert to a JavaKeyStore object.
# The alias, if a non-empty string, will be applied to the 1st private key or 
# certificate.  All other keys and/or certificates will be assigned an auto-generated
# alias.
$alias = "anything_I_want_here";

# This is the passord that will be required to access the created JKS.
$jksPassword = "myJksSecret";
# jks is a JavaKeyStore
$jks = $pem->ToJks($alias,$jksPassword);
if ($pem->get_LastMethodSuccess() == 0) {
    print $pem->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Save the JKS to a file.  The password passed here is used for the keyed hash of the
# entire JKS file.  This may be different (if desired) than the password for individual private keys
# contained within the JKS.
