    // Connect to a server.
    var useTls: Bool = true
    var maxWaitMs: Int = 2000

    // If we get here, the TLS connection ws made..
    // In any SSL/TLS handshake, the server sends its certificate in a TLS handshake message.
    // Chilkat will keep it cached within the object that made the connection.
    // Get the server's cert and examine a few things.
    var cert: CkoCert? = socket.GetSslServerCert()

    print("Distinguished Name: \(cert!.SubjectDN)")
    print("Common Name: \(cert!.SubjectCN)")
    print("Issuer Distinguished Name: \(cert!.IssuerDN)")
