(PowerBuilder) Create XML Signature with KeyInfo / X509Data / X509Certificate

This example demonstrates how to create an XML Digital Signature where the KeyInfo element contains an X509Data element, which in turn contains an X509Certificate element which contains the base64-encoded certificate.

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

// To begin, we'll need a PFX containing a certificate and private key, and the SOAP XML to be signed.
// Chilkat provides sample data at chilkatsoft.com and chilkatdownload.com, and our first step is to download.

// -------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Step 1: Get the SOAP XML to be signed.
//

//     <SOAP-ENV:Header>
//         <wsse:Security xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd" SOAP-ENV:mustUnderstand="1"></wsse:Security>

//         <z:FooBar xmlns:z="http://example.com" />
//     </SOAP-ENV:Body>
// </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

// -------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Step 2: Get the test certificate and private key stored in a .pfx
// 
loo_PfxData = create oleobject
// Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.BinData" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0

// Note: "Body" refers to the XML element having an "id" equal to "Body", where "id" is case insensitive
// and where any namespace might qualify the attribute.  In this case, the SOAP-ENV:Body fragment is signed
// NOT because the tag = "Body", but because it has SOAP-SEC:id="Body"

// Note: Because our certificate was loaded from a PFX which also contained the private key,
// Chilkat automatically knows and has the private key associated with the certificate.
// We set bUsePrivateKey to tell the SetX509Cert method to automatically use the private key
// associated with the certificate for signing.  If, for example, we obtained the certificate
// by loading from a .cer file, then we would not already have the associated private key.
// In that case, the application could explicitly load the cert's private key from some
// other source, such as a .key, .pem, etc. and then call gen.SetPrivateKey.
