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

# Note: Chilkat's PKCS11 implementation runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and other supported operating systems.

$pkcs11 = chilkat::CkPkcs11->new();

# Use the PKCS11 driver (.dll, .so, .dylib) for your particular HSM.
# For example:
$pkcs11->put_SharedLibPath("C:/Program Files (x86)/Gemalto/IDGo 800 PKCS#11/IDPrimePKCS1164.dll");

# Use your HSM's PIN to login.
# If you wish to establish a session without logging in, then set the pin equal to the empty string.
$pin = "0000";

# Normal user = 1
$userType = 1;

# Establish a logged-on user session with the HSM.
# The call to QuickSession takes the place of calling Initialize, OpenSession, and Login.
$success = $pkcs11->QuickSession($userType,$pin);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $pkcs11->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Do whatever is needed in your PKCS11 session.
# ...
# ...

$pkcs11->Logout();
$pkcs11->CloseSession();

print "Success." . "\r\n";
