Example

The code snippet below demonstrates how you can use the SetCertificate method to define the certificate.

JavaScript, JScript

function ServiceSertificate()
{
  var MyWebService, Crd, Certificate;
  
  // Obtain the tested web service
  MyWebService = WebServices.SampleWebService;
  
  // Call a web service Credentials property
  Crd = MyWebService.Credentials;
  
  // Obtain the client certificate object
  Certificate = Crd.ClientCertificate;
  
  // Defines the client certificate
  Certificate.SetCertificate(slLocalMachine, snMy, "CN = sample_subject_name.com");
}

Python

def ServiceCertificate():
  # Obtain the tested web service
  MyWebService = WebServices.SampleWebService
  # Call a web service Credentials property 
  Crd = MyWebService.Credentials
  # Obtain the client certificate object
  Certificate = Crd.ClientCertificate
  # Defines the client certificate
  Certificate.SetCertificate(slLocalMachine, snMy, "CN = sample_subject_name.com")

VBScript

Sub ServiceSertificate

  Dim MyWebService, Crd, Certificate
  
  ' Obtain the tested web service
  Set MyWebService = WebServices.SampleWebService
  
  ' Call a web service Credentials property
  Set Crd = MyWebService.Credentials
  
  ' Obtain the client certificate object
  Set Certificate = Crd.ClientCertificate
  
  ' Defines the client certificate
  Call Certificate.SetCertificate(slLocalMachine, snMy, "CN = sample_subject_name.com")

End Sub

DelphiScript

function ServiceSertificate();
var MyWebService, Crd, Certificate: OleVariant;
begin
  
  // Obtain the tested web service
  MyWebService := WebServices.SampleWebService;
  
  // Call a web service Credentials property
  Crd := MyWebService.Credentials;
  
  // Obtain the client certificate object
  Certificate := Crd.ClientCertificate;
  
  // Defines the client certificate
  Certificate.SetCertificate(slLocalMachine, snMy, 'CN = sample_subject_name.com');

end;

C++Script, C#Script

function ServiceSertificate()
{
  var MyWebService, Crd, Certificate;
  
  // Obtain the tested web service
  MyWebService = WebServices["SampleWebService"];
  
  // Call a web service Credentials property
  Crd = MyWebService["Credentials"];
  
  // Obtain the client certificate object
  Certificate = Crd["ClientCertificate"];
  
  // Defines the client certificate
  Certificate["SetCertificateEx"]( slLocalMachine, snMy, "CN = sample_subject_name.com" );
}
