XmlCertVault Delphi DLL Reference Documentation
XmlCertVault
Current Version: 10.0.0
Contains a collection of certificates and PFX files saved in an XML format.
Create/Dispose
var myObject: HCkXmlCertVault; begin myObject := CkXmlCertVault_Create(); // ... CkXmlCertVault_Dispose(myObject); end;
Creates an instance of the HCkXmlCertVault object and returns a handle (i.e. a Pointer). The handle is passed in the 1st argument for the functions listed on this page.
Objects created by calling CkXmlCertVault_Create must be freed by calling this method. A memory leak occurs if a handle is not disposed by calling this function.
Properties
DebugLogFilePath
procedure CkXmlCertVault_putDebugLogFilePath(objHandle: HCkXmlCertVault; newPropVal: PWideChar); stdcall;
function CkXmlCertVault__debugLogFilePath(objHandle: HCkXmlCertVault): PWideChar; stdcall;
If set to a file path, causes each Chilkat method or property call to automatically append it's LastErrorText to the specified log file. The information is appended such that if a hang or crash occurs, it is possible to see the context in which the problem occurred, as well as a history of all Chilkat calls up to the point of the problem. The VerboseLogging property can be set to provide more detailed information.
This property is typically used for debugging the rare cases where a Chilkat method call hangs or generates an exception that halts program execution (i.e. crashes). A hang or crash should generally never happen. The typical causes of a hang are:
- a timeout related property was set to 0 to explicitly indicate that an infinite timeout is desired,
- the hang is actually a hang within an event callback (i.e. it is a hang within the application code), or
- there is an internal problem (bug) in the Chilkat code that causes the hang.
See the notes about PWideChar memory ownership and validity.
LastErrorHtml
function CkXmlCertVault__lastErrorHtml(objHandle: HCkXmlCertVault): PWideChar; stdcall;
Provides information in HTML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.
See the notes about PWideChar memory ownership and validity.
topLastErrorText
function CkXmlCertVault__lastErrorText(objHandle: HCkXmlCertVault): PWideChar; stdcall;
Provides information in plain-text format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.
See the notes about PWideChar memory ownership and validity.
LastErrorXml
function CkXmlCertVault__lastErrorXml(objHandle: HCkXmlCertVault): PWideChar; stdcall;
Provides information in XML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.
See the notes about PWideChar memory ownership and validity.
topLastMethodSuccess
procedure CkXmlCertVault_putLastMethodSuccess(objHandle: HCkXmlCertVault; newPropVal: wordbool); stdcall;
Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of True indicates success, a value of False indicates failure. This property is automatically set for method calls. It is not modified by property accesses. The property is automatically set to indicate success for the following types of method calls:
- Any method that returns a string.
- Any method returning a Chilkat object, binary bytes, or a date/time.
- Any method returning a standard boolean status value where success = True and failure = False.
- Any method returning an integer where failure is defined by a return value less than zero.
Note: Methods that do not fit the above requirements will always set this property equal to True. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.
topMasterPassword
procedure CkXmlCertVault_putMasterPassword(objHandle: HCkXmlCertVault; newPropVal: PWideChar); stdcall;
function CkXmlCertVault__masterPassword(objHandle: HCkXmlCertVault): PWideChar; stdcall;
The master password for the vault. Certificates are stored unencrypted, but private keys are stored 256-bit AES encrypted using the individual PFX passwords. The PFX passwords are stored 256-bit AES encrypted using the master password. The master password is required to acces any of the private keys stored within the XML vault.
See the notes about PWideChar memory ownership and validity.
topVerboseLogging
procedure CkXmlCertVault_putVerboseLogging(objHandle: HCkXmlCertVault; newPropVal: wordbool); stdcall;
If set to True, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is False. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.
topVersion
function CkXmlCertVault__version(objHandle: HCkXmlCertVault): PWideChar; stdcall;
Version of the component/library, such as "9.5.0.94"
See the notes about PWideChar memory ownership and validity.
Methods
AddCert
AddCertBinary
certBytes: HCkByteData): wordbool; stdcall;
Adds a certificate to the XML vault from any binary format, such as DER.
Returns True for success, False for failure.
topAddCertChain
certChain: HCkCertChain): wordbool; stdcall;
AddCertEncoded
encodedBytes: PWideChar;
encoding: PWideChar): wordbool; stdcall;
Adds a certificate to the XML vault where certificate is passed directly from encoded bytes (such as Base64, Hex, etc.). The encoding is indicated by encoding.
Returns True for success, False for failure.
topAddCertFile
path: PWideChar): wordbool; stdcall;
Adds a certificate to the XML vault.
Returns True for success, False for failure.
AddCertString
certData: PWideChar): wordbool; stdcall;
Adds a certificate from any string representation format such as PEM.
Returns True for success, False for failure.
AddPemFile
path: PWideChar;
password: PWideChar): wordbool; stdcall;
Adds the contents of a PEM file to the XML vault. The PEM file may be encrypted, and it may contain one or more certificates and/or private keys. The password is optional and only required if the PEM file contains encrypted content that requires a password.
Returns True for success, False for failure.
topAddPfx
AddPfxBinary
pfxBytes: HCkByteData;
password: PWideChar): wordbool; stdcall;
Adds a PFX to the XML vault where PFX is passed directly from in-memory binary bytes.
Returns True for success, False for failure.
topAddPfxEncoded
encodedBytes: PWideChar;
encoding: PWideChar;
password: PWideChar): wordbool; stdcall;
Adds a PFX to the XML vault where PFX is passed directly from encoded bytes (such as Base64, Hex, etc.). The encoding is indicated by encoding.
