    // Most of the time a .jks contains one certificate with it's associated private key.
    // (Similar to how a .pfx/.p12 usually contains a particular certificate with private key.)
    // This example demonstrates how to get the certificate with private key such that it can be used
    // by other Chilkat classes wherever a cert w/ private key is needed.
    let jks = CkoJavaKeyStore()!

    var success: Bool = jks.loadFile(password, path: "qa_data/jks/test_secret.jks")
    if success != true {

        return
    }

    // Make sure we have a private key.
    if jks.numPrivateKeys.intValue < 1 {
        print("No private key available.")
        return
    }

    // -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Get the certificate chain associated with the 1st (and probably only) private key in the JKS.
    var chain: CkoCertChain? = jks.getCertChain(0)
    if jks.lastMethodSuccess != true {
        print("\(jks.lastErrorText!)")

        chain = nil
        return
    }

    chain = nil

    // Verify again that this cert has a private key.
    if cert!.hasPrivateKey() != true {
        print("Certificate has no associated private key.")
        cert = nil
        return
    }

    // We now have the cert object with it's associated private key, and it can be used in other Chilkat classes where needed.
    // For example..
