TrustedRoots PureBasic Reference Documentation
TrustedRoots
Current Version: 10.0.0
Used to set and manage the CA root certificates trusted by your application. This applies to PKCS7 (S/MIME) signature validation and SSL/TLS server certificates.
Object Creation
obj.i = CkTrustedRoots::ckCreate()
; Make sure to dispose of the object when finished like this:
CkTrustedRoots::ckDispose(obj);
Properties
DebugLogFilePath
Declare setCkDebugLogFilePath(obj.i, value.s)
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.
LastErrorHtml
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.
topLastErrorText
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.
LastErrorXml
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.
topLastMethodSuccess
Declare setCkLastMethodSuccess(obj.i, value.i)
Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of 1 indicates success, a value of 0 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 = 1 and failure = 0.
- 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 1. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.
topNumCerts
The number of certificates contained within this object.
This is the number of certificates explicitly added by the methods AddCert, AddJavaKeyStore, and LoadCaCertsPem.
topRejectSelfSignedCerts
Declare setCkRejectSelfSignedCerts(obj.i, value.i)
Indicates whether all self-signed certificates are to be rejected in SSL/TLS connections. The default value of this property is 0.
Note: This is for the case where the server certificate chain of authentication is 1 certificate long (i.e. the TLS server certificate itself is self-signed).
topTrustSystemCaRoots
Declare setCkTrustSystemCaRoots(obj.i, value.i)
Indicates whether the operating system's CA root certificates are automatically trusted.
On a Windows operating system, this would be the registry-based CA certificate stores. On a Linux system, this could be /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt, if it exists. The default value is 1. Set this property equal to 0 to prevent Chilkat from automatically trusting system-provided root CA certificates.
VerboseLogging
Declare setCkVerboseLogging(obj.i, value.i)
If set to 1, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is 0. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.

Methods
Activate
Activates this collection of trusted roots as the set of CA and self-signed root certificates that are to be trusted Chilkat-wide for PKCS7 signature validation and SSL/TLS server certificate validation.
AddCert
AddJavaKeyStore
Adds the trusted certificates from a Java key store to the collection of trusted roots.
Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.
AddJavaKeyStoreAsync (1)
Creates an asynchronous task to call the AddJavaKeyStore method with the arguments provided. (Async methods are available starting in Chilkat v9.5.0.52.)
Returns 0 on failure
topDeactivate
Deactivates a previous set of activated trusted roots so that all roots / self-signed certificates are implicitly trusted.
Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.
topGetCert
Returns the Nth cert contained within this object. The 1st certificate is at index 0.
Returns 0 on failure
LoadCaCertsPem
Loads a CA bundle in PEM format. This is a file containing CA root certificates that are to be trusted. An example of one such file is the CA certs from mozilla.org exported to a cacert.pem file by the mk-ca-bundle tool located here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html.
Note: This can also be called to load the /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt file on Linux systems.
LoadCaCertsPemAsync (1)
Creates an asynchronous task to call the LoadCaCertsPem method with the arguments provided. (Async methods are available starting in Chilkat v9.5.0.52.)
Returns 0 on failure
