RSA Signature with Certificate's Private Key from PFX

See more RSA Examples

Demonstrates how to use a certificate's private key from a PFX file to create an RSA signature. PHP ActiveX

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

// Create an instance of a certificate store object, load a PFX file,
// locate the certificate we need, and use it for signing.
// (a PFX file may contain more than one certificate.)
$certStore = new COM("Chilkat.CertStore");

// The 1st argument is the filename, the 2nd arg is the 
// PFX file's password:
$success = $certStore->LoadPfxFile('chilkat.pfx','test');

    print $certStore->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;

// Find the certificate by the subject common name:
$jsonCN = new COM("Chilkat.JsonObject");
$jsonCN->UpdateString('CN','cert common name');
