# AS2ProfileMgr Class

The AS2ProfileMgr class is used to manage self and trading partner profiles used for AS2 communication.

## Syntax

```text
AS2ProfileMgr
```

## Remarks

AS2 communication require management of several configuration settings such as encryption certificate, signing certificate and TLS/SSL certificates. Both for your self and your trading partners.

The **AS2ProfileMgr** class allows you to manage such settings using simple XML files, furthermore these configuration files can be directly fed to the [AS2Sender](AS2Sender.md#AS2Sender) and [AS2Receiver](AS2Receiver.md#AS2Receiver) Class as a convenient way to set communication parameters.

To use the **AS2ProfileMgr** you should first set [DataDir](#datadir-property-as2profilemgr-class) to configure the directory that it will use to store the profiles. You can then set the properties to be retained and save them by invoking [SaveProfile](#saveprofile-method-as2profilemgr-class), alternatively you could retrieve previously saved settings using [LoadProfile](#loadprofile-method-as2profilemgr-class).

When a new trading partner profile is saved a sub-directory named after the trading partner is created within [DataDir](#datadir-property-as2profilemgr-class) and the file *partner.cfg* is saved in it. If [CreateDirStruct](#createdirstruct-property-as2profilemgr-class) is set to true, the following sub-directories are created within the partner directory. These can be helpful in managing other data for the trading partner.

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| [DirDeleted](#dirdeleted-property-as2profilemgr-class) | Deleted files. |
| [DirIncoming](#dirincoming-property-as2profilemgr-class) | Received files. |

LPWSTR Config(LPCWSTR lpszConfigurationString);
```

## Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve [configuration settings](#config-settings-as2profilemgr-class) for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these *internal properties* is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named *PROPERTY*, you must call *Config("PROPERTY=VALUE")*, where *VALUE* is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a [configuration setting](#config-settings-as2profilemgr-class), you must call *Config("PROPERTY")*. The value will be returned as a string.

## Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the *GetLastErrorCode()* method to obtain its result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

The profile of the partner identified by *partnerIdentifier* is deleted. This method also deletes the directory in which the partner profile is stored, consequently deleting file management directories of the partner.

If the *partnerOrganization* specified is "self", the self profile i.e. *me.cfg*, is cleared.

## Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the *GetLastErrorCode()* method after it returns.)

# GetProperty Method ([AS2ProfileMgr](#as2profilemgr-class) Class)

Gets the property propName .

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetProperty(const char* lpszpropName);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GetProperty(LPCWSTR lpszpropName);
```

## Remarks

**GetProperty** can be used to query any property from "self" or partner profile. It is specially useful in retrieving properties not interpreted by [AS2Sender](AS2Sender.md#AS2Sender) [AS2Receiver](AS2Receiver.md#AS2Receiver) classes and thus not exposed as **AS2ProfileMgr** properties.

**GetProperty** returns *null* if property *propName* was not read by [LoadProfile](#loadprofile-method-as2profilemgr-class).

## Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the *GetLastErrorCode()* method to obtain its result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

# GetTPInfo Method ([AS2ProfileMgr](#as2profilemgr-class) Class)

Gets the profile of the specified partner as a XML TPInfo.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetTPInfo(const char* lpszpartnerOrganization);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GetTPInfo(LPCWSTR lpszpartnerOrganization);
```

## Remarks

If the parameter *partnerOrganization* is "self", **GetTPInfo** returns a XML string representing the "self" profile otherwise it returns a XML string of partner profile. These strings can be directly fed to [AS2Sender](AS2Sender.md#AS2Sender) and [AS2Receiver](AS2Receiver.md#AS2Receiver) using the method *SetTPInfo*.

## Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the *GetLastErrorCode()* method to obtain its result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

# ListPartners Method ([AS2ProfileMgr](#as2profilemgr-class) Class)

Lists trading partners known to the AS2ProfileMgr .

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
int ListPartners();

Unicode (Windows)
INT ListPartners();
```

## Remarks

Invoking *ListPartners* causes the event [Partner](#partner-event-as2profilemgr-class) to be fired for each trading partner profile found by the **AS2ProfileMgr** class.

After this method returns [PartnerCount](#partnercount-property-as2profilemgr-class) is populated with the number of found partners.

## Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the *GetLastErrorCode()* method after it returns.)

# ListProperties Method ([AS2ProfileMgr](#as2profilemgr-class) Class)

Lists the properties read from self or partner profile.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
int ListProperties();

Unicode (Windows)
INT ListProperties();
```

If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the *GetLastErrorCode()* method after it returns.)

# LoadProfile Method ([AS2ProfileMgr](#as2profilemgr-class) Class)

Loads the profile of the trading partner identified by partnerOrganization .

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
int LoadProfile(const char* lpszpartnerOrganization);

Unicode (Windows)
INT LoadProfile(LPCWSTR lpszpartnerOrganization);
```

## Remarks

If the *partnerOrganization* is not "self", the properties of **AS2ProfileMgr** are read from the XML file *partner.cfg*. The file is expected to be in a sub-directory within [DataDir](#datadir-property-as2profilemgr-class). The name of the sub-directory is derived from *partnerOrganization*.

Although all properties are read from the partner profile, the following are interpreted by [AS2Sender](AS2Sender.md#AS2Sender) and [AS2Receiver](AS2Receiver.md#AS2Receiver) classes.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
int SaveProfile(const char* lpszpartnerOrganization);

Unicode (Windows)
INT SaveProfile(LPCWSTR lpszpartnerOrganization);
```

## Remarks

If the *partnerOrganization* is not "self", the properties of **AS2ProfileMgr** are saved to the XML file *partner.cfg* placed in a sub-directory within [DataDir](#datadir-property-as2profilemgr-class). The name of the sub-directory is derived from *partnerOrganization*. In addition to saving the partner profile, **SaveProfile** also creates the following directories if [CreateDirStruct](#createdirstruct-property-as2profilemgr-class) is set to true.

} AS2ProfileMgrPartnerEventParams;

Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FirePartner(AS2ProfileMgrPartnerEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  LPCWSTR partnerIdentifier;  LPCWSTR partnerURL;
  INT reserved;
} AS2ProfileMgrPartnerEventParams;
```

## Remarks

This event is fired when [ListPartners](#listpartners-method-as2profilemgr-class) is called. It fires for each partner found by the **AS2ProfileMgr** in [DataDir](#datadir-property-as2profilemgr-class). The parameter *partnerIdentifier* is same as provided to [SaveProfile](#saveprofile-method-as2profilemgr-class) to save the partner profile.

## Remarks

This event is fired every time *partner.cfg* needs to be accessed i.e when [LoadProfile](#loadprofile-method-as2profilemgr-class) or [GetTPInfo](#gettpinfo-method-as2profilemgr-class) are invoked with partner name not being "self". The *Name* provides the partner name and *Directory* indicates the directory in which partner profile is expected. Setting *Directory* to a different path will make the component look for *partner.cfg* in that directory. Note: PartnerDirectory event is not fired when [ListPartners](#listpartners-method-as2profilemgr-class) is invoked.

# Property Event ([AS2ProfileMgr](#as2profilemgr-class) Class)

Fired when ListProperties is invoked.

## Syntax

```text
ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireProperty(AS2ProfileMgrPropertyEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  const char *propName;  const char *propValue;
  int reserved;
} AS2ProfileMgrPropertyEventParams;

Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FireProperty(AS2ProfileMgrPropertyEventParams *e);
typedef struct {  LPCWSTR propName;  LPCWSTR propValue;
  INT reserved;
} AS2ProfileMgrPropertyEventParams;
```

## Remarks

This event is fired when [ListProperties](#listproperties-method-as2profilemgr-class) is called. It fires for each property read by [LoadProfile](#loadprofile-method-as2profilemgr-class). The parameters *propName* and *propValue* provide property name and value respectively.

The [StoreType](#Certificate_f_StoreType) field denotes the type of the certificate store specified by [Store](#Certificate_f_Store). If the store is password-protected, specify the password in [StorePassword](#Certificate_f_StorePassword).

[Store](#Certificate_f_Store) is used in conjunction with the [Subject](#Certificate_f_Subject) field to specify client certificates. If [Store](#Certificate_f_Store) has a value, and [Subject](#Certificate_f_Subject) or [Encoded](#Certificate_f_Encoded) is set, a search for a certificate is initiated. Please see the [Subject](#Certificate_f_Subject) field for details.

 Designations of certificate stores are platform dependent.

The following designations are the most common User and Machine certificate stores in Windows:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| MY | A certificate store holding personal certificates with their associated private keys. |
| CA | Certifying authority certificates. |
| ROOT | Root certificates. |

When the certificate store type is *cstPFXFile*, this property must be set to the name of the file. When the type is *cstPFXBlob*, the property must be set to the binary contents of a PFX file (i.e., PKCS#12 certificate store).

 **StorePassword** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

If the type of certificate store requires a password, this field is used to specify the password needed to open the certificate store.

 **StoreType** *int*
*Default Value: 0*

The type of certificate store for this certificate.

 The class supports both public and private keys in a variety of formats. When the *cstAuto* value is used, the class will automatically determine the type. This field can take one of the following values:

```csharp
sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11,
                               @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll",
                               "123456", // PIN
                               "CN=cert_subject");
sftp.SSHUser = "test";
sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);
```

```csharp
certmgr.CertStoreType = CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11;
certmgr.OnCertList += (s, e) => {
  secKeyBlob = e.CertEncoded;
};
certmgr.CertStore = @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll";
certmgr.CertStorePassword = "123456"; // PIN
certmgr.ListStoreCertificates();

sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, secKeyBlob, "123456", "*");
sftp.SSHUser = "test";
sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);
```

When using a certificate obtained with this approach, pass the previously saved security key information as the [Store](#Certificate_f_Store) and set [StorePassword](#Certificate_f_StorePassword) to the PIN. Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key (with CertMgr): |
| 99 (cstAuto) | The store type is automatically detected from the input data. This setting may be used with both public and private keys and can detect any of the supported formats automatically. |

 **SubjectAltNames** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

Comma-separated lists of alternative subject names for the certificate.

 **ThumbprintMD5** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

The MD5 hash of the certificate. It is primarily used for X.509 certificates. If the hash does not already exist, it is automatically computed.

 **ThumbprintSHA1** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

The SHA-1 hash of the certificate. It is primarily used for X.509 certificates. If the hash does not already exist, it is automatically computed.

 **ThumbprintSHA256** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

The SHA-256 hash of the certificate. It is primarily used for X.509 certificates. If the hash does not already exist, it is automatically computed.

 **Usage** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

The text description of [UsageFlags](#Certificate_f_UsageFlags).

This value will be one or more of the following strings and will be separated by commas:

- Digital Signature
- Non-Repudiation
- Key Encipherment
- Data Encipherment
- Key Agreement
- Certificate Signing
- CRL Signing
- Encipher Only

If the provider is OpenSSL, the value is a comma-separated list of X.509 certificate extension names.

 **UsageFlags** *int (read-only)*
*Default Value: 0*

The flags that show intended use for the certificate. The value of [UsageFlags](#Certificate_f_UsageFlags) is a combination of the following flags:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 0x80 | Digital Signature |
| 0x40 | Non-Repudiation |
| 0x20 | Key Encipherment |
| 0x10 | Data Encipherment |
| 0x08 | Key Agreement |
| 0x04 | Certificate Signing |
| 0x02 | CRL Signing |
| 0x01 | Encipher Only |

Please see the [Usage](#Certificate_f_Usage) field for a text representation of [UsageFlags](#Certificate_f_UsageFlags).

This functionality currently is not available when the provider is OpenSSL.

 **Version** *char* (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

The certificate's version number. The possible values are the strings "V1", "V2", and "V3".

 **Subject** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

The subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.

If a matching certificate is found, the field is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=example@email.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| CN | Common Name. This is commonly a hostname like www.server.com. |
| O | Organization |
| OU | Organizational Unit |
| L | Locality |
| S | State |
| C | Country |
| E | Email Address |

If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.

 **Encoded** *char**
*Default Value: ""*

The certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This field is used to assign a specific certificate. The [Store](#Certificate_f_Store) and [Subject](#Certificate_f_Subject) fields also may be used to specify a certificate.

When [Encoded](#Certificate_f_Encoded) is set, a search is initiated in the current [Store](#Certificate_f_Store) for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, [Subject](#Certificate_f_Subject) is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, [Subject](#Certificate_f_Subject) is set to an empty string.

## Constructors

```text
Certificate()
```

 Creates a instance whose properties can be set.

```text
Certificate(const char* lpEncoded, int lenEncoded)
```

 Parses * Encoded * as an X.509 public key.

```text
Certificate(int iStoreType, const char* lpStore, int lenStore, const char* lpszStorePassword, const char* lpszSubject)
```

 * StoreType * identifies the type of certificate store to use. See for descriptions of the different certificate stores. * Store * is a byte array containing the certificate data. * StorePassword * is the password used to protect the store.

 After the store has been successfully opened, the component will attempt to find the certificate identified by * Subject * . This can be either a complete or a substring match of the X.509 certificate's subject Distinguished Name (DN). The * Subject * parameter can also take an MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256 thumbprint of the certificate to load in a "Thumbprint=value" format.

# Config Settings ([AS2ProfileMgr](#as2profilemgr-class) Class)

 The class 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 class, access to these *internal properties* is provided through the [Config](#config-method-as2profilemgr-class) method.

### Base Config Settings

**BuildInfo**: Information about the product's build.When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build.

**CodePage**: The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).

**LicenseInfo**: Information about the current license.When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a class is using. It will return the following information:

- Product: The product the license is for.
- Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
- License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
- License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
- Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.

**MaskSensitiveData**: Whether sensitive data is masked in log messages.In certain circumstances it may be beneficial to mask sensitive data, like passwords, in log messages. Set this to *true* to mask sensitive data. The default is *true*.

**ProcessIdleEvents**: Whether the class uses its internal event loop to process events when the main thread is idle.If set to False, the class will not fire internal idle events. Set this to False to use the class in a background thread on Mac OS. By default, this setting is True.

**SelectWaitMillis**: The length of time in milliseconds the class will wait when DoEvents is called if there are no events to process.If there are no events to process when DoEvents is called, the class will wait for the amount of time specified here before returning. The default value is 20.

**UseFIPSCompliantAPI**: Tells the class whether or not to use FIPS certified APIs.When set to *true*, the class will utilize the underlying operating system's certified APIs. Java editions, regardless of OS, utilize Bouncy Castle Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS), while all other Windows editions make use of Microsoft security libraries.

FIPS mode can be enabled by setting the *UseFIPSCompliantAPI* configuration setting to *true*. This is a static setting that applies to all instances of all classes of the toolkit within the process. It is recommended to enable or disable this setting once before the component has been used to establish a connection. Enabling FIPS while an instance of the component is active and connected may result in unexpected behavior.

For more details, please see the [FIPS 140-2 Compliance](https://www.nsoftware.com/kb/articles/fips.rst) article.

NOTE: This setting is applicable only on Windows.

NOTE: Enabling FIPS compliance requires a special license; please contact [sales@nsoftware.com](mailto:sales@nsoftware.com) for details.

**UseInternalSecurityAPI**: Whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation. When set to *false*, the class will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable.

Setting this configuration setting to *true* tells the class to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.

 On Windows, this setting is set to *false* by default. On Linux/macOS, this setting is set to *true* by default.

 To use the system security libraries for Linux, OpenSSL support must be enabled. For more information on how to enable OpenSSL, please refer to the [OpenSSL Notes](platforms.md) section.

# Trappable Errors ([AS2ProfileMgr](#as2profilemgr-class) Class)

## Error Handling (C++)

Call the *GetLastErrorCode()* method to obtain the last called method's result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. Known error codes are listed below. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.
