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

# The Chilkat PEM class was introduced in v9.5.0.49.  
# It requires the bundle to be unlocked, as shown above.
$pem = New-Object Chilkat.Pem

# Add the private key found in alice.key to this PEM.
# 
$privKey = New-Object Chilkat.PrivateKey

$success = $privKey.LoadAnyFormatFile("qa_data/alice.key","")
if ($success -ne $true) {
    $($privKey.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# Add it to the PEM:
$success = $pem.AddPrivateKey($privKey)

# Add the certificate found in alice.crt to this PEM.
# 
$cert = New-Object Chilkat.Cert

$success = $cert.LoadFromFile("qa_data/alice.crt")

# Add it to the PEM:

$success = $pem.AddCert($cert,$includeCertChain)

# Write the PEM containing the private key and certificate.
# The private key will be output in PKCS8 encrypted form.
# Certificates are never encrypted.

# This is the password that will be required to open and access the private key
# from the PEM we're about to write..
