TOTP Configuration

The component accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

TOTP Configuration Settings


	CurrentTime: The current time in milliseconds. Specifies the current time Unix time in milliseconds (time since January 1 1970). Normally the component will query the system for the current time when creating or validating TOTP passwords. In the event that the system time is incorrect or cannot be retrieved you may set this value to the current time. This value will be reset to 0 after calling CreatePassword.
	ValidityTime: The validity time of the created TOTP password. This setting returns the remaining validity time in seconds of the created TOTP password. After calling CreatePassword this setting may be queried to determine for how many more seconds the password will be valid. If the password is no longer valid this setting returns 0. This is not applicable to HOTP passwords.
	SecretLength: The length of secret to generated. When Secret is empty and CreatePassword is called a random secret value will be generated. This setting determines the length of the randomly generated secret. The default value is 32.

Base Configuration Settings


	GUIAvailable: Tells the component whether or not a message loop is available for processing events. In a GUI-based application, long-running blocking operations may cause the application to stop responding to input until the operation returns. The component will attempt to discover whether or not the application has a message loop and, if one is discovered, it will process events in that message loop during any such blocking operation. In some non-GUI applications an invalid message loop may be discovered that will result in errant behavior. In these cases, setting GuiAvailable to false will ensure that the component does not attempt to process external events.
	UseBackgroundThread: Whether threads created by the component are background threads. If set to True, when the component creates a thread the thread's IsBackground property will be explicitly set to True. By default this setting is False.
	UseManagedSecurityAPI: Tells the component whether or not to use the system security libraries or a managed implementation. By default the component will use the system security libraries to perform cryptographic functions. This means calls to unmanaged code will be made. In certain environments this is not desirable. To use a completely managed security implementation set this setting to True. Setting this to True tells the component to use the internal managed implementation instead of using the system's security API. Note that when this value is set the product's system dll is no longer required as a reference, as all unmanaged code is stored in this file.
