Question:
We are using the "sending signed email" functionality of the Chilkat Email component. We are wondering what happens if the certificate used to sign the cert expires. Does function fail, or does the email still go out and the receiver gets the error the cert has expired?
Answer:
The method should not fail. It will still sign the email, even if the certificate is expired. However, your program may first check to see if a certificate is expired and then react appropriately (before trying to send the email). Here are examples showing how to check if a digital certificate is expired:
ASP: Check if Certificate Expired
SQL Server: Check if Certificate Expired
C#: Check if Certificate Expired
C++: Check if Certificate Expired
Delphi: Check if Certificate Expired
Visual FoxPro: Check if Certificate Expired
Java: Check if Certificate Expired
Perl: Check if Certificate Expired
Python: Check if Certificate Expired
Ruby: Check if Certificate Expired
VB.NET: Check if Certificate Expired
Visual Basic: Check if Certificate Expired
VBScript: Check if Certificate Expired
