chilkat.CertChain

If set to a file path, this property logs the LastErrorText of each Chilkat method or property call to the specified file. This logging helps identify the context and history of Chilkat calls leading up to any crash or hang, aiding in debugging.

Enabling the VerboseLogging property provides more detailed information. This property is mainly used for debugging rare instances where a Chilkat method call causes a hang or crash, which should generally not happen.

Possible causes of hangs include:

• A timeout property set to 0, indicating an infinite timeout.
• A hang occurring within an event callback in the application code.
• An internal bug in the Chilkat code causing the hang.

Provides HTML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

Provides plain text information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

Provides XML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

Indicates the success or failure of the most recent method call: true means success, false means failure. This property remains unchanged by property setters or getters. This method is present to address challenges in checking for null or Nothing returns in certain programming languages. Note: This property does not apply to methods that return integer values or to boolean-returning methods where the boolean does not indicate success or failure.

The number of certificates currently contained in the chain.

The number of certificates in the chain whose validity period has expired.

Retrieve individual certificates with CertAt when the application needs to inspect exact validity dates or identify which certificates are expired.

true if the chain extends to a terminal root certificate rather than stopping at an intermediate certificate. When this property is true, the certificate at index NumCerts - 1 is the root-end certificate of the chain.

A value of false means the chain is incomplete at the root end; the final certificate may be an intermediate CA for which no issuer certificate was available.

Specifies uncommon behavior as a comma-separated list of keywords. The default is the empty string, which enables the standard behavior.

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.

Version of the component/library, such as "10.1.0"

Populates cert with the certificate at the specified zero-based index. Valid indices range from 0 through NumCerts - 1.

Returns true on success. Returns false if the index is invalid or the certificate cannot be returned; in that case, do not use the contents of cert as a successful result.

Returns true on success, nil, err on failure. The second return value, err, is the object's last_error_text; wrap the call in assert() to raise an error instead.

Tests whether the certificate at the root end of this chain is present in the TrustedRoots collection passed in trusted_roots. Returns true when a matching trusted-root certificate is found; otherwise returns false.

A complete certificate-validation decision may also require checking signature linkage, certificate validity periods, revocation status, basic constraints, key usage, policies, name constraints, and application-specific identity requirements.

Returns true or false: an answer, not a success flag.

Loads the certificate chain from the x5c member of the JWK contained in jwk. Returns true if the chain is loaded successfully; otherwise returns false.

As defined by RFC 7517, x5c is a JSON array of DER-encoded X.509 certificates represented using standard Base64—not Base64URL. The first certificate contains the key associated with the JWK. Each following certificate should certify the certificate immediately before it, so the array order is target certificate first and rootward certificates afterward.

Returns true on success, nil, err on failure. The second return value, err, is the object's last_error_text; wrap the call in assert() to raise an error instead.

Verifies the cryptographic signature linkage of the certificates in this chain. Starting with the target certificate at index 0, each certificate's signature is checked using the public key of the next issuer certificate in the chain. Returns true when the certificate signatures are valid through the root end of the chain; otherwise returns false.

Returns true or false: an answer, not a success flag.

Returns the Base64 representation of a DER-encoded ASN.1 PkiPath containing the certificates in this chain. This representation is commonly identified as the X509PKIPathv1 token type in WS-Security and may also be encountered in XML-signature workflows.

A PkiPath is a SEQUENCE OF Certificate ordered from the root or most-trusted end toward the target certificate. This is the reverse of the indexing used by CertAt, where index 0 is the target certificate.

By default, the root certificate is included when it is present in the chain. Set UncommonOptions to PkiPathV1.ExcludeRoot when the receiving protocol expects the trust anchor to be supplied separately.

Returns the string, or nil, err on failure (or when nothing is found). The second return value, err, is the object's last_error_text; wrap the call in assert() to raise an error instead.
