PKCS11 Establish Session with Login (QuickSession)

See more PKCS11 Examples

Demonstrates a shorter and quicker way to establish a PKCS11 session.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.96 or later.

VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

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

' Note: Chilkat's PKCS11 implementation runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and other supported operating systems.

Dim pkcs11 As New Chilkat.Pkcs11

' Use the PKCS11 driver (.dll, .so, .dylib) for your particular HSM.
' For example:
pkcs11.SharedLibPath = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Gemalto/IDGo 800 PKCS#11/IDPrimePKCS1164.dll"

' Use your HSM's PIN to login.
' If you wish to establish a session without logging in, then set the pin equal to the empty string.
Dim pin As String = "0000"

' Normal user = 1
Dim userType As Integer = 1

' Establish a logged-on user session with the HSM.
' The call to QuickSession takes the place of calling Initialize, OpenSession, and Login.
success = pkcs11.QuickSession(userType,pin)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(pkcs11.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Do whatever is needed in your PKCS11 session.

pkcs11.Logout()
pkcs11.CloseSession()

Debug.WriteLine("Success.")
