(PowerBuilder) PKCS11 Initialize

See more PKCS11 Examples

The first thing to do to interact with a smart card or USB security token using PKCS11 is to call Initialize. It loads the vendors DLL/shared library and initializes the Cryptoki library. (The Cryptoki library is the DLL/shared lib provided by the smart card vendor.)

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.88 or later.

integer li_rc
oleobject loo_Pkcs11
integer li_Success

// 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.

loo_Pkcs11 = create oleobject
// Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.Pkcs11" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0
li_rc = loo_Pkcs11.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Pkcs11")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Pkcs11
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if

// You'll need to know in advance the name and possibly the full path to the smart card vendor's shared library.
// On Windows systems it is a .dll.   On Linux it is a .so.  On Mac OS X it will be a .dylib.
// On Windows, if you set the SharedLibPath equal to just the name of the DLL, then it is assumed to be located in the Windows system directory
// which contains dynamic-link libraries and drivers. The Windows system directory is typically C:\Windows\System32

// In this example we will pass just the name of the DLL because it is located in C:\Windows\System32.
// On non-Windows systems you should specify the full path to the shared lib.
// Also use the full path on Windows systems where the smart card vendor's DLL does not install to C:\Windows\System32.
loo_Pkcs11.SharedLibPath = "aetpkss1.dll"

li_Success = loo_Pkcs11.Initialize()

    Write-Debug loo_Pkcs11.LastErrorText
else
    Write-Debug "PKCS11 successfully initialized."
