(PowerShell) HTTP TLS Mutual Authentication (Client-Side Certificate)This example demonstrates what to do when a TLS connection requires a client-side certificate, also known as "two-way authentication" or "mutual authentication". The Chilkat API provides a few standard methods for setting the client-side certificate:
These methods are present in any Chilkat class that has SSL/TLS functionality. When the SSL client cert is set via one of these methods, it tells the API to use it for two-way (i.e. mutual) authentication. In all possible tasks, whether it is a POST, GET, PUT, an Amazon S3 method, etc., the only thing required for implementing the two-way authentication is to make a successful call to one of the above SetSsl* methods.
[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("C:\myAssemblies\ChilkatDotNet2.dll") $http = New-Object Chilkat.Http # Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days. $success = $http.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial") if ($success -ne $true) { $($http.LastErrorText) exit } # Set the certificate to be used for mutual TLS authentication # (i.e. sets the client-side certificate for two-way TLS authentication) $success = $http.SetSslClientCertPfx("/home/bob/pfxFiles/myClientSideCertWithPrivateKey.pfx","pfxPassword") if ($success -ne $true) { $($http.LastErrorText) exit } # Note: The certificate used for the client-side of TLS mutual authentication # must have the associated private key available. (PFX files typically store both # the certificate and associated private key.) # At this point, the HTTP object is setup with the client-side cert, and any SSL/TLS # connection will automatically use it if the server demands a client-side cert. |
