PKCS11 Login / Logout

See more PKCS11 Examples

Sample code showing how to login and logout of a PKCS11 session. A session becomes authenticated when Login is called, and returns to the unauthenticated state when Logout is called. A smart card's PIN is passed to the Login method.

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

# 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.

# Set your shared lib path -- either a full path to the DLL, .so, or .dylib,
# or just the filename if the driver is in a location that can be automatically found. (Such as in C:\Windows\System32)

# Make it an authenticated session by calling Login.
# The smart card PIN is passed to the Login method.
# The user type can be one of three choices:
# 0 - Security Officer
# 1 - Normal User
# 2 - Context Specific.
# You'll likely always login as the Normal User.
