Examine SSL/TLS Server Certificate

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates how an application can examine and check a server's SSL/TLS certificate. Unicode C++

    bool success = false;

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

    int maxWaitMs = 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.
