XmlCertVault PureBasic Reference Documentation

XmlCertVault

Current Version: 10.1.0

Contains a collection of certificates and PFX files saved in an XML format.

Object Creation

obj.i = CkXmlCertVault::ckCreate()

; Make sure to dispose of the object when finished like this:
CkXmlCertVault::ckDispose(obj);

Properties

DebugLogFilePath
Declare.s ckDebugLogFilePath(obj.i)
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:

  1. a timeout related property was set to 0 to explicitly indicate that an infinite timeout is desired,
  2. the hang is actually a hang within an event callback (i.e. it is a hang within the application code), or
  3. there is an internal problem (bug) in the Chilkat code that causes the hang.

More Information and Examples
top
LastErrorHtml
Declare.s ckLastErrorHtml(obj.i) ; (read-only)

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.

top
LastErrorText
Declare.s ckLastErrorText(obj.i) ; (read-only)

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.

top
LastErrorXml
Declare.s ckLastErrorXml(obj.i) ; (read-only)

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.

top
LastMethodSuccess
Declare.i ckLastMethodSuccess(obj.i)
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.

top
MasterPassword
Declare.s ckMasterPassword(obj.i)
Declare setCkMasterPassword(obj.i, value.s)
Introduced in version 9.5.0.40

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.

top
VerboseLogging
Declare.i ckVerboseLogging(obj.i)
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.

top
Version
Declare.s ckVersion(obj.i) ; (read-only)

Version of the component/library, such as "9.5.0.94"

Methods

AddCert
Declare.i ckAddCert(obj.i, cert.i)
Introduced in version 9.5.0.40

Adds a certificate to the XML vault.

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

top
AddCertChain
Declare.i ckAddCertChain(obj.i, certChain.i)
Introduced in version 9.5.0.40

Adds a chain of certificates to the XML vault.

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

top
AddCertEncoded
Declare.i ckAddCertEncoded(obj.i, encodedBytes.s, encoding.s)
Introduced in version 9.5.0.40

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 1 for success, 0 for failure.

top
AddCertFile
Declare.i ckAddCertFile(obj.i, path.s)
Introduced in version 9.5.0.40

Adds a certificate to the XML vault.

top
AddCertString
Declare.i ckAddCertString(obj.i, certData.s)
Introduced in version 9.5.0.40

Adds a certificate from any string representation format such as PEM.

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

top
AddPemFile
Declare.i ckAddPemFile(obj.i, path.s, password.s)
Introduced in version 9.5.0.40
