Find and Load Certificate by Thumbprint

See more Certificates Examples

Demonstrates how to find and load a certificate by SHA1 thumbprint. This is a Microsoft Windows-only example. It assumes the certificate is already installed on the Windows system.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.83 or greater.

Unicode C

#include <C_CkCertW.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    BOOL success;
    HCkCertW cert;

    success = FALSE;

    // This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.83 or greater.

    cert = CkCertW_Create();

    // The thumbprint can be passed in any encoding, such as hex, base64, etc.
    // The 2nd argument indicates the encoding of the 1st argument.
    success = CkCertW_LoadByThumbprint(cert,L"ea5a129c1919a52d238ee28d9f3a8f345b768388",L"hex");
    if (success == FALSE) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",CkCertW_lastErrorText(cert));
        CkCertW_Dispose(cert);
        return;
    }

    wprintf(L"Found: %s\n",CkCertW_subjectDN(cert));


    CkCertW_Dispose(cert);
