PKCS11 Find All Certificates on Smart Card or USB Token

See more PKCS11 Examples

Sample code showing how to examine all the certificates on a smart card or USB token.

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

Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

# 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.
# 
# If we don't authenticate, then we won't be able to see the private keys, and thus
# we won't know which certificates have an associated private key stored on the smart card.

# The smart card PIN is passed to the Login method.
# userType 1 indicates a "Normal User".
