(VB.NET) Convert Java KeyStore to PEM

Loads a Java keystore file and saves the trusted certificate entries to a PEM file.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

Dim success As Boolean = False

' This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Dim jks As New Chilkat.JavaKeyStore

Dim jksPassword As String = "myJksPassword"

' Load the Java keystore from a file.  The JKS file password is used
' to verify the keyed digest that is found at the very end of the keystore.
' It verifies that the keystore has not been modified.
