CertMgr Component

Properties   Methods   Events   Configuration Settings   Errors  

The CertMgr component is used to manage the digital certificates installed on a system.

Syntax

nsoftware.IPWorksEncrypt.Certmgr

Remarks

The component methods, such as ListCertificateStores or ListStoreCertificates, are used to list certificate stores and certificates. The corresponding lists are returned via the StoreList and CertList events. Encoded certificates are provided through the events.

You can load a certificate by setting the Cert property of the component, then you can get information about the certificate through the corresponding fields of the Cert property (described below).

The Subject, SerialNumber, and Issuer fields identify the certificate. The EffectiveDate and ExpirationDate show the time boundaries of the certificate.

PublicKey, PublicKeyAlgorithm, PublicKeyLength, and Version provide information about the certificate keys and the certificate format (version).

UsageFlags specifies the intended usage of the certificate. The Usage field provides a text description of these flags.
