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

// Most of the time a .jks contains one certificate with it's associated private key.
// (Similar to how a .pfx/.p12 usually contains a particular certificate with private key.)
// This example demonstrates how to get the certificate with private key such that it can be used
// by other Chilkat classes wherever a cert w/ private key is needed.
Dim jks As New Chilkat.JavaKeyStore
Dim password As String
password = "secret"
Dim success As Boolean
success = jks.LoadFile(password,"qa_data/jks/test_secret.jks")
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(jks.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Make sure we have a private key.
If (jks.NumPrivateKeys < 1) Then
    System.DebugLog("No private key available.")
    Return
End If

// -------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Get the certificate chain associated with the 1st (and probably only) private key in the JKS.
Dim chain As Chilkat.CertChain
chain = jks.GetCertChain(0)
If (jks.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(jks.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

Dim cert As Chilkat.Cert
cert = chain.GetCert(0)
If (chain.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(chain.LastErrorText)

    Return
End If

// Verify again that this cert has a private key.
If (cert.HasPrivateKey() <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog("Certificate has no associated private key.")

    Return
End If

// We now have the cert object with it's associated private key, and it can be used in other Chilkat classes where needed.
// For example..

Dim crypt As New Chilkat.Crypt2
success = crypt.SetSigningCert(cert)
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(crypt.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If
