(PHP ActiveX) DKIM Signature using Windows Current User Certificate Store

This is a Windows-specific example to load a certificate from the Current User (registry-based) certificate store, and then use the certificate's associated private key for a DKIM signature.

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Note: The php_com_dotnet.dll may need to be enabled inside of php.ini.

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

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Cert')
$cert = new COM("Chilkat.Cert");

// The LoadByCommonName method searches the Windows Local Machine and Current User 
// registry-based certificate stores for a certificate having the common name specified. 
// If found, the certificate is loaded and ready for use.
$success = $cert->LoadByCommonName('My Certificate ABC');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $cert->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// The certificate must have an associated private key installed, and it must be a
// private key that has been marked "exportable" when it was originally installed.
if (!$cert->HasPrivateKey()) {
    print 'This certificate does not have a private key available.' . "\n";
    exit;
}

// privKey is a Chilkat.PrivateKey
$privKey = $cert->ExportPrivateKey();
if ($cert->LastMethodSuccess == 0) {
    print $cert->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Dkim')
$dkim = new COM("Chilkat.Dkim");

// Load the private key into the DKIM object:
$success = $dkim->LoadDkimPk($privKey->getPkcs8Pem(),'');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $dkim->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// The private key has been loaded into the DKIM object.  See the other DKIM
// examples for guidance on how to create a DKIM signature...
