Iterate over Certificates on Connected Smart Cards and USB Tokens

See more Cert Store Examples

Demonstrates how to iterate over the certificates on connected smart cards and USB tokens.

Note: Requires Chilkat v10.1.2 or later.

VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim certStore As New Chilkat.CertStore

' Detects connected smart cards and USB tokens
' and loads the certificate store object with the certificates found.
' Works on Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Linux.
' Note: If something is not detected, contact info@chilkatsoft.com
' for help or for workarounds.
Dim argNotUsed As String = ""
success = certStore.OpenSmartcard(argNotUsed)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(certStore.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Dim cert As New Chilkat.Cert

Dim numCerts As Integer = certStore.NumCertificates
Dim i As Integer = 0

While i < numCerts
    ' Load the cert object with the Nth certificate found in the connected HSMs
    certStore.GetCert(i,cert)
    Debug.WriteLine(i & ": " & cert.SubjectCN)
    i = i + 1
End While
