Client Certificate in REST (USB Token or Smartcard)

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates how to use a client certificate with a REST connection where the certificate and private key are located on a USB token or smart card. PowerShell

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

# This example shows how to use the Chilkat socket object's connection.
$rest = New-Object Chilkat.Rest
$socket = New-Object Chilkat.Socket

# Set the certificate to be used for mutual TLS authentication
$cert = New-Object Chilkat.Cert

# If the smartcard or token requires a PIN...
$cert.SmartCardPin = "000000"

$success = $cert.LoadFromSmartcard("")

    exit
}

$success = $socket.SetSslClientCert($cert)
if ($success -ne $true) {
    $($socket.LastErrorText)

# Establish the connection using the socket object (with client certificate authentication).

# At this point we are connected and can make REST calls...
# For example..
$responseJson = $rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/someQuery")
