# CertificateStorage Component

The CertificateStorage component works with collections of certificates.

## Syntax

```text
TsbxCertificateStorage
```

## Remarks

CertificateStorage can work with certificates residing on a variety of media. Among others, it can access certificates residing in files, Windows and macOS system stores, and PKCS#11 devices. All such kinds of media can be accessed via a simple, unified interface, which makes CertificateStorage a handy certificate access option. Most users of SecureBlackbox use this component to access certificates residing on hardware devices. CertificateStorage is also a good alternative to CertificateManager where the certificate file contains more than one certificate.

To access certificates stored on certain type of media, start with the [Open](#open-method-certificatestorage-component) method. Provide the location of your certificates via a uniform URI-like specifier. Once the storage has been opened, you can access the certificates contained in it via the Certificates property.

Iterate over certificates by using the Certificates property, or use filtering facilities such as [Select](#select-method-certificatestorage-component) and [SelectChain](#selectchain-method-certificatestorage-component). You can add certificates to the storage with the [ImportBytes](#importbytes-method-certificatestorage-component), [ImportFromFile](#importfromfile-method-certificatestorage-component), and [ImportPinned](#importpinned-method-certificatestorage-component) methods. In the latter case please assign the certificate object to be imported to the PinnedCert property.

Use [CreateNew](#createnew-method-certificatestorage-component) method to create a new storage. Note that not all storage kinds can be created.

When you have finished working with the certificate storage, close it with the [Close](#close-method-certificatestorage-component) method.

Certain types of stores must be kept open for the certificates to continue to be usable. This means that while you can copy a certificate to a different storage, or assign it to a different component, you still must keep the storage it originates from open for as long as you intend to use that certificate in your code. This is because the storage is often a bridge between a certificate and its private key, and by closing the storage early you are destroying this bridge prematurely. See the code example below:

```text
  // This code, although syntactically correct, will fail because the storage is closed too early:
  storage.Open("pkcs11://user:12345@localhost/C:/Windows/System32/asepkcs.dll");
  pdfSigner.SigningCertificate = storage.Certificates[0];
  storage.Close(false); // the private key of the SigningCertificate gets lost after this call
  pdfSigner.Sign(); // returns an error

  // This code will work as expected
  storage.Open("pkcs11://user:12345@localhost/C:/Windows/System32/asepkcs.dll");
  pdfSigner.SigningCertificate = storage.Certificates[0];
  pdfSigner.Sign();
  storage.Close(false);
```

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

Integer

# CertBytes Property ([CertificateStorage](#certificatestorage-component) Component)

Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property DynamicArray CertBytes[int CertIndex] = { read=FCertBytes };
```

## Remarks

Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.

The *CertIndex* parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the [CertCount](#certcount-property-certificatestorage-component) property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

Byte Array

# CertCA Property ([CertificateStorage](#certificatestorage-component) Component)

Indicates whether the certificate has a CA capability.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property bool CertCA[int CertIndex] = { read=FCertCA };
```

## Default Value

false

## Remarks

Indicates whether the certificate has a CA capability. For the certificate to be considered a CA, it must have its Basic Constraints extension set with the CA indicator enabled.

Set this property when generating a new certificate to have its Basic Constraints extension generated automatically.

The *CertIndex* parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the [CertCount](#certcount-property-certificatestorage-component) property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

Boolean

# CertCAKeyID Property ([CertificateStorage](#certificatestorage-component) Component)

A unique identifier (fingerprint) of the CA certificate's cryptographic key.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property DynamicArray CertCAKeyID[int CertIndex] = { read=FCertCAKeyID };
```

## Remarks

A unique identifier (fingerprint) of the CA certificate's cryptographic key.

Authority Key Identifier is a certificate extension which allows identification of certificates belonging to the same issuer, but with different public keys. It is a de-facto standard to include this extension in all certificates to facilitate chain building.

This setting cannot be set when generating a certificate as it always derives from another certificate property. [CertificateManager](#CertificateManager) generates this setting automatically if enough information is available to it: for self-signed certificates, this value is copied from the [CertSubjectKeyID](#certsubjectkeyid-property-certificatestorage-component) setting, and for lower-level certificates, from the parent certificate's subject key ID extension.

The *CertIndex* parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the [CertCount](#certcount-property-certificatestorage-component) property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

Byte Array

# CertType Property ([CertificateStorage](#certificatestorage-component) Component)

Returns the type of the entity contained in the Certificate object.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property TsbxCertificateStorageCertTypes CertType[int CertIndex] = { read=FCertType };
enum TsbxCertificateStorageCertTypes {
  ctUnknown=0,
  ctX509Certificate=1,
  ctX509CertificateRequest=2
};
```

## Default Value

ctUnknown

## Remarks

Returns the type of the entity contained in the [Certificate](#Type_Certificate) object.

A [Certificate](#Type_Certificate) object can contain two types of cryptographic objects: a ready-to-use X.509 certificate, or a certificate request ("an unsigned certificate"). Certificate requests can be upgraded to full certificates by signing them with a CA certificate.

Use the [CertificateManager](#CertificateManager) component to load or create new certificate and certificate requests objects.

The *CertIndex* parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the [CertCount](#certcount-property-certificatestorage-component) property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

Integer

# CertCRLDistributionPoints Property ([CertificateStorage](#certificatestorage-component) Component)

Contains a list of locations of CRL distribution points used to check this certificate's validity.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String CertCRLDistributionPoints[int CertIndex] = { read=FCertCRLDistributionPoints };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

Contains a list of locations of CRL distribution points used to check this certificate's validity. The list is taken from the respective certificate extension.

Use this property when generating a certificate to provide a list of CRL endpoints that should be made part of the new certificate.

The endpoints are provided as a list of CRLF-separated URLs. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the location separator.

The *CertIndex* parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the [CertCount](#certcount-property-certificatestorage-component) property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

String

# CertCurve Property ([CertificateStorage](#certificatestorage-component) Component)

Specifies the elliptic curve associated with the certificate's public key.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String CertCurve[int CertIndex] = { read=FCertCurve };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

Specifies the elliptic curve associated with the certificate's public key. This setting only applies to certificates containing EC keys.

The *CertIndex* parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the [CertCount](#certcount-property-certificatestorage-component) property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

String

# CertFingerprint Property ([CertificateStorage](#certificatestorage-component) Component)

Contains the fingerprint (a hash imprint) of this certificate.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String CertFingerprint[int CertIndex] = { read=FCertFingerprint };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

Contains the fingerprint (a hash imprint) of this certificate.

While there is no formal standard defining what a fingerprint is, a SHA1 hash of the certificate's DER-encoded body is typically used.

The *CertIndex* parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the [CertCount](#certcount-property-certificatestorage-component) property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

String

# CertFriendlyName Property ([CertificateStorage](#certificatestorage-component) Component)

Contains an associated alias (friendly name) of the certificate.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String CertFriendlyName[int CertIndex] = { read=FCertFriendlyName };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

Contains an associated alias (friendly name) of the certificate. The friendly name is not a property of a certificate: it is maintained by the certificate media rather than being included in its DER representation. Windows certificate stores are one example of media that does support friendly names.

The *CertIndex* parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the [CertCount](#certcount-property-certificatestorage-component) property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

String

# CertHandle Property ([CertificateStorage](#certificatestorage-component) Component)

Allows to get or set a 'handle', a unique identifier of the underlying property object.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property __int64 CertHandle[int CertIndex] = { read=FCertHandle };
```

## Default Value

0

## Remarks

Allows to get or set a 'handle', a unique identifier of the underlying property object. Use this property to assign objects of the same type in a quicker manner, without copying them fieldwise.

When you pass a handle of one object to another, the source object is copied to the destination rather than assigned. It is safe to get rid of the original object after such operation.

```text
  pdfSigner.setSigningCertHandle(certMgr.getCertHandle());
```

The *CertIndex* parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the [CertCount](#certcount-property-certificatestorage-component) property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

Long64

# CertHashAlgorithm Property ([CertificateStorage](#certificatestorage-component) Component)

Provides means to set the hash algorithm to be used in the subsequent operation on the certificate (such as generation or key signing).

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String CertHashAlgorithm[int CertIndex] = { read=FCertHashAlgorithm };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

Provides means to set the hash algorithm to be used in the subsequent operation on the certificate (such as generation or key signing). It is not a property of a certificate; use [CertSigAlgorithm](#certsigalgorithm-property-certificatestorage-component) to find out the hash algorithm that is part of the certificate signature.

```

## Remarks

A unique identifier (fingerprint) of the CA certificate's cryptographic key.

Authority Key Identifier is a certificate extension which allows identification of certificates belonging to the same issuer, but with different public keys. It is a de-facto standard to include this extension in all certificates to facilitate chain building.

This setting cannot be set when generating a certificate as it always derives from another certificate property. [CertificateManager](#CertificateManager) generates this setting automatically if enough information is available to it: for self-signed certificates, this value is copied from the [SelectedCertSubjectKeyID](#selectedcertsubjectkeyid-property-certificatestorage-component) setting, and for lower-level certificates, from the parent certificate's subject key ID extension.

The *SelectedCertIndex* parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the [SelectedCertCount](#selectedcertcount-property-certificatestorage-component) property.

  ctX509Certificate=1,
  ctX509CertificateRequest=2
};
```

## Default Value

ctUnknown

## Remarks

Returns the type of the entity contained in the [Certificate](#Type_Certificate) object.

A [Certificate](#Type_Certificate) object can contain two types of cryptographic objects: a ready-to-use X.509 certificate, or a certificate request ("an unsigned certificate"). Certificate requests can be upgraded to full certificates by signing them with a CA certificate.

Use the [CertificateManager](#CertificateManager) component to load or create new certificate and certificate requests objects.

The *SelectedCertIndex* parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the [SelectedCertCount](#selectedcertcount-property-certificatestorage-component) property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

Integer

# SelectedCertCRLDistributionPoints Property ([CertificateStorage](#certificatestorage-component) Component)

Contains a list of locations of CRL distribution points used to check this certificate's validity.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String SelectedCertCRLDistributionPoints[int SelectedCertIndex] = { read=FSelectedCertCRLDistributionPoints };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

Contains a list of locations of CRL distribution points used to check this certificate's validity. The list is taken from the respective certificate extension.

Use this property when generating a certificate to provide a list of CRL endpoints that should be made part of the new certificate.

The endpoints are provided as a list of CRLF-separated URLs. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the location separator.

The *SelectedCertIndex* parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the [SelectedCertCount](#selectedcertcount-property-certificatestorage-component) property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

String

# SelectedCertCurve Property ([CertificateStorage](#certificatestorage-component) Component)

Specifies the elliptic curve associated with the certificate's public key.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String SelectedCertCurve[int SelectedCertIndex] = { read=FSelectedCertCurve };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

Specifies the elliptic curve associated with the certificate's public key. This setting only applies to certificates containing EC keys.

The *SelectedCertIndex* parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the [SelectedCertCount](#selectedcertcount-property-certificatestorage-component) property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

String

# SelectedCertFingerprint Property ([CertificateStorage](#certificatestorage-component) Component)

Contains the fingerprint (a hash imprint) of this certificate.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String SelectedCertFingerprint[int SelectedCertIndex] = { read=FSelectedCertFingerprint };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

Contains the fingerprint (a hash imprint) of this certificate.

While there is no formal standard defining what a fingerprint is, a SHA1 hash of the certificate's DER-encoded body is typically used.

The *SelectedCertIndex* parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the [SelectedCertCount](#selectedcertcount-property-certificatestorage-component) property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

String

# SelectedCertFriendlyName Property ([CertificateStorage](#certificatestorage-component) Component)

Contains an associated alias (friendly name) of the certificate.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String SelectedCertFriendlyName[int SelectedCertIndex] = { read=FSelectedCertFriendlyName };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

Contains an associated alias (friendly name) of the certificate. The friendly name is not a property of a certificate: it is maintained by the certificate media rather than being included in its DER representation. Windows certificate stores are one example of media that does support friendly names.

The *SelectedCertIndex* parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the [SelectedCertCount](#selectedcertcount-property-certificatestorage-component) property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

String

# SelectedCertHandle Property ([CertificateStorage](#certificatestorage-component) Component)

Allows to get or set a 'handle', a unique identifier of the underlying property object.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property __int64 SelectedCertHandle[int SelectedCertIndex] = { read=FSelectedCertHandle };
```

## Default Value

0

## Remarks

Allows to get or set a 'handle', a unique identifier of the underlying property object. Use this property to assign objects of the same type in a quicker manner, without copying them fieldwise.

When you pass a handle of one object to another, the source object is copied to the destination rather than assigned. It is safe to get rid of the original object after such operation.

```text
  pdfSigner.setSigningCertHandle(certMgr.getCertHandle());
```

The *SelectedCertIndex* parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the [SelectedCertCount](#selectedcertcount-property-certificatestorage-component) property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

Long64

# SelectedCertHashAlgorithm Property ([CertificateStorage](#certificatestorage-component) Component)

Provides means to set the hash algorithm to be used in the subsequent operation on the certificate (such as generation or key signing).

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String SelectedCertHashAlgorithm[int SelectedCertIndex] = { read=FSelectedCertHashAlgorithm };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

Provides means to set the hash algorithm to be used in the subsequent operation on the certificate (such as generation or key signing). It is not a property of a certificate; use [SelectedCertSigAlgorithm](#selectedcertsigalgorithm-property-certificatestorage-component) to find out the hash algorithm that is part of the certificate signature.

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall Close(bool Save);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to close the storage component and clean up any resources associated with it.

This method releases all memory objects and handles associated with the certificates contained in the storage. Any certificate objects originating from the storage become invalid as soon as the storage is closed, and should not be used.

*Save* parameter only applies to certain types of stores, such as file stores. Set it to True to commit any changes to the underlying media. Note that PKCS#11 and Win32 storage types are of transactional nature and commit any changes immediately, so the value of the *Save* parameter does not make any difference with them.

# Config Method ([CertificateStorage](#certificatestorage-component) Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
String __fastcall Config(String ConfigurationString);
```

## Remarks

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

These 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.

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-certificatestorage-component), you must call *Config("PROPERTY")*. The value will be returned as a string.

# CreateNew Method ([CertificateStorage](#certificatestorage-component) Component)

Creates a new storage.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall CreateNew(String StorageLocation, String StorageID);

This method is currently support for PKCS#11 storage type only.

# Open Method ([CertificateStorage](#certificatestorage-component) Component)

Opens existing storage or creates one in memory.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall Open(String StorageID);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to open the storage with the given *StorageID*. Certificate storages can come from several different locations, detailed below.

**Memory**

A storage can be created in memory by passing an empty string ("").

**File**

A storage can be opened from a file using one of two syntaxes:

- *C:\Certs\certs.pem*
- *file://C:/Certs/certs.pem*

**Windows System**

A storage can be opened from the Windows System using this syntax: *system://{user}@{host}/?{params}*

 *user* is one of these values:

- currentuser
- localmachine
- currentservice

 *host* is either "localhost", an IP address, or FQDN.

 *params* are chosen from this list:

- store (required), is the name of the Windows store to access (e.g. "MY")
- readonly, whether to access the store with only read permissions. Use 0 for false, and 1 for true.

 Example: *system://currentuser@localhost/?store=MY&readonly=1*

**PKCS#11 Device**

A storage can be opened from a PKCS#11 device using this syntax: *pkcs11://{user}:{pin}@/{driverpath}?{params}*

 *user* is the username used to access the device; typically it's either "user" or "admin".

*pin* is the pin code used to access the device.

*driverpath* is the path to the driver used to access the device.

*params* are chosen from this list:

- *slot*, the token slot to access on the device. If not provided, one will be chosen automatically. If set to -1, no session will be opened.
- *readonly*, whether to access the device with only read permissions. Use 0 for false, and 1 for true.
- *login*, whether to sign in to the device with a PIN. Use 0 or *no* to avoid signing in, or 1 or *yes* to enforce it. When not specified, the *yes* mode is used.
- *slotevt* enables slot event notifications. Set to 'standard' or 'true' to enable native PKCS#11 notifications, or to 'synchronous' to enable polling-based notifications for drivers that do not support native notifications. Set to 'false' to disable notifications.

The following parameters can be used to tweak the low-level behaviour of the component and may be handy when overcoming compatibility issues with certain drivers:

- *singlethreaded* allows to use or enforce the simplest, thread-agnostic access mode when working with the driver. Setting this to 1 (try) or 2 (enforce) may help overcome issues with certain drivers.
- *accessmode* allows to choose the compatibility mode ('full' or 'compatible').
- *importfirst* specifies which object is created first when importing a new certificate. The options are: key, cert, pubkey.
- *ptrsize*, *intsize*, *alignment* allow to provide the details of the system architecture manually.
- *slotevtinterval* specifies the polling interval for polling-based notifications. The default is 1000 (one second).
- *slotevtsync* (Delphi only) when set to true tells the component to align all the slot events with the main thread through a Synchronize() envelope.

 Example: *pkcs11://user:1234@/c:/windows/system32/asepkcs.dll?slot=0&readonly=1*

**macOS**

A keychain can be opened on macOS using this syntax: *macos://:{password}@/{keychain}?{params}*

This is the right way to perform cryptographic operations using private keys, including non-exportable private keys. By now, only certificates with RSA keys are supported, other certificates are not listed and are not used.

*keychain* is the path to a keychain file. If no keychain specified, the default keychain is opened.

*password* is the keychain access password. If no password is provided, it will be asked by macOS UI if necessary. To access a keychain in readonly mode, no password is needed usually.

*params* are chosen from this list:

- *readonly*, whether to access the keychain with only read permissions. Use 0 for false, and 1 for true.

 Example: *macos://:f00Keys@/Users/test/Documents/test.keychain?readonly=0*

**iOS**

A keychain can be opened on iOS using this syntax: *ios:///?{params}*

iOS doesn't support keychains located in files. By now, only certificates with RSA keys are supported, other certificates are not listed and are not used.

*params* are chosen from this list:

- *readonly*, whether to access the keychain with only read permissions. Use 0 for false, and 1 for true.

 Example: *ios:///?readonly=1*

**KMIP Server**

A storage can be opened from a KMIP server using this syntax: *mailto:{password}@{remotehost}:{remoteport}/?{params}*

 *password* is the password use to authenticate to the server.

*remotehost* is the FQDN to the server.

*remoteport* is the server port to connect to.

*params* are chosen from this list:

- encoder, the message encoding used to communicate with the server. Possible values are:

  - 1 (XML)
  - 2 (JSON)
  - 3 (TTLV)

 Example: *mailto:password@kmip.website.com:5696/?encoder=1*

**Apple**

A storage can be opened on macOS using this syntax: *apple:///{path}/?{params}*

This is a legacy way to work with keychains on macOS and iOS.

*path* is the path for storage file.

*params* are chosen from this list:

- keychainindex, key chain index. If not provided, one will be set to 0.
- readonly, whether to access the storage with only read permissions. Use 0 for false, and 1 for true.

 Example: *apple:///Users/test/Documents/test.storage?readonly=1* A storage can be opened on iOS using this syntax: *apple:///?{params}*

 *params* are chosen from this list:

- readonly, whether to access the storage with only read permissions. Use 0 for false, and 1 for true.

 Example: *apple:///?readonly=1*

In Xamarin projects for iOS keychain support should be enabled manually. To do this: 1. Double click on Entitlements.plist file, go to "Entitlements" tab and turn "Enable Keychain" option on. 2. Go to project options, select "iOS Bundle Signing", choose correct configuration and platform and set "Custom Entitlements" to "Entitlements.plist" value.

**Azure Key Vault**

A storage can be opened from the Azure Key Vault service using this syntax: *vault://{clientid}:{clientsecret}@{vaultname}.{vaulthost}/*

 *clientid* is the client id obtained from Azure Portal when registering an app.

*clientsecret* is the client secret obtained from Azure Portal when registering an app.

*vaultname* is the name of the vault to connect to.

*vaulthost* is the Cloud environment where the vault is located; supported environments are:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| Cloud environment | vaulthost |
| Azure Cloud | vault.azure.net |
| Azure China Cloud | vault.azure.cn |
| Azure US Government | vault.usgovcloudapi.net |
| Azure German Cloud | vault.microsoftazure.de |

 Example: *vault://xxxx:yyyy@myvault.vault.azure.net/*

**Environment Storages**

An environment storage can be opened using this syntax: *env:///?{store}*

 *store* is one of these values:

- trusted
- known
- blocked

 To enable usage of those environment storages use UseEnvStorages configuration setting.

 Example: *env:///?store=trusted*

```

## Remarks

This method, together with [GetStorageProperty](#getstorageproperty-method-certificatestorage-component), provides an extensible way of managing the certificate storage's settings that are not available through the primary properties of the component. The list of settings may be extended in future, in response to emergence of new storage variants and recognition of non-obvious storage usage scenarios.

The following certificate storage properties can be read using this method:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| PKCS11PIN | Use this property to provide your PIN on the fly for an operation requiring the private key (e.g. signing). This may be useful if the PIN was not provided on the Open stage. |
| PKCS11NewUserPIN | Setting this property will register a new PIN to the HSM user account. This property is the way to administratively reset the user's PIN, and can only be set from under the 'admin' session. |
| PKCS11NewPIN | Setting this property will change the current users' PIN to the provided value. Most HSMs require the user to be signed in to perform this operation. This is the way to change your own PIN, either for admin or regular user accounts. |
| PKCS11TextEncodingMode | The string encoding mode to apply to the PIN when passing it to C_Login() method. This can be changed by passing the relevant setting to SetStorageProperty. |
| PKCS11Slot | Specifies the slot number to open, from 0 to (PKCS11SlotCount - 1). Use the 'auto' value to let the component pick the slot automatically, or -1 to stop the component from opening any slots. |
| PKCS11Login | Provides a PKCS#11 user ID to sign in with. The following options are available: 'user' (normal user), 'so' (security officer), or 'no' (do not sign in). |

# Error Event ([CertificateStorage](#certificatestorage-component) Component)

In the handler of this event, assign the password to the *Password* parameter, or set *Cancel* to true to abort the operation.

The *NeededFor* parameter identifies the certificate for which the password is requested.

# Config Settings ([CertificateStorage](#certificatestorage-component) Component)

 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](#config-method-certificatestorage-component) method.

### CertificateStorage Config Settings

**AuthAttempts**: The number of auth/login attempts to try.Specifies the number of tries to authenticate to the storage (the default is 3). The control will fire PasswordNeeded event after each unsuccessful attempt. Applicable to: PKCS11.

**CertValidationTimes[i]**: .Returns the validation moments for every certificate in the store.

**CertValidities[i]**: .Returns the validity markers of the certificate objects.

**CertValidityReasons[i]**: .Returns the validation details for each of the certificate objects in the store.

**ContainerName**: Specifies the key container name for the imported certificate.This setting allows to provide a key container name for the certificate that is to be imported. This is often used when associating CA-provided certificate with a previously generated private key.

If *StaticDNS* of the component is set to "*local*", the property returns/restores the rules from/to the internal storage of the component. If *StaticDNS* of the component is set to "*global*", the property returns/restores the rules from/to the GLOBAL storage. The rules list is returned and accepted in JSON format.

**Tag**: Allows to store any custom data.Use this config property to store any custom data.

**TLSSessionGroup**: Specifies the group name of TLS sessions to be used for session resumption.Use this property to limit the search of cached TLS sessions to the specified group. Sessions from other groups will be ignored. By default, all sessions are cached with an empty group name and available to all the components.

**TLSSessionLifetime**: Specifies lifetime in seconds of the cached TLS session.Use this property to specify how much time the TLS session should be kept in the session cache. After this time, the session expires and will be automatically removed from the cache. Default value is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

**UseOCSPResponseObjectCaching**: Specifies whether reuse of loaded OCSP response objects is enabled.This setting enables or disables the caching of OCSP response objects. When set to true (the default value), the system checks if a OCSP response object is already loaded in memory before attempting to load a new instance. If the object is found, the existing instance is reused, and its reference count is incremented to track its usage. When the reference count reaches zero, indicating that no references to the object remain, the system will free the object from memory. This setting enhances performance by minimizing unnecessary object instantiation and promotes efficient memory management, particularly in scenarios where OCSP response objects are frequently used.

**UseOwnDNSResolver**: Specifies whether the client components should use own DNS resolver.Set this global property to false to force all the client components to use the DNS resolver provided by the target OS instead of using own one.

**UseSharedSystemStorages**: Specifies whether the validation engine should use a global per-process copy of the system certificate stores.Set this global property to false to make each validation run use its own copy of system certificate stores.

**UseSystemNativeSizeCalculation**: An internal CryptoAPI access tweak.This is an internal setting. Please do not use it unless instructed by the support team.

If set to true, SBB will delegate the computations to Windows via a CryptoAPI call. Otherwise, it will export the key material and perform the computations using its own OAEP/PSS implementation.

This setting only applies to certificates originating from a Windows system store.

**UseSystemRandom**: Enables or disables the use of the OS PRNG.Use this global property to enable or disable the use of operating system-driven pseudorandom number generation.

**XMLRDNDescriptorName[OID]**: Defines an OID mapping to descriptor names for the certificate's IssuerRDN or SubjectRDN.This property defines custom mappings between Object Identifiers (OIDs) and descriptor names. This mapping specifies how the certificate's issuer and subject information (ds:IssuerRDN and ds:SubjectRDN elements respectively) are represented in XML signatures.

The property accepts comma-separated values where the first descriptor name is used when the OID is mapped, and subsequent values act as aliases for parsing.

Syntax:

Alias1, Alias2, ...: Optional alternative names recognized during parsing.

Usage Examples:

Map OID 2.5.4.5 to SERIALNUMBER:

```text
Config("XMLRDNDescriptorName[2.5.4.5]=SERIALNUMBER");
```

Map OID 1.2.840.113549.1.9.1 to E, with aliases EMAIL and EMAILADDRESS:

```text
Config("XMLRDNDescriptorName[1.2.840.113549.1.9.1]=E,EMAIL,EMAILADDRESS");
```

**XMLRDNDescriptorPriority[OID]**: Specifies the priority of descriptor names associated with a specific OID.This property specifies the priority of descriptor names associated with a specific OID that allows to reorder descriptors in the ds:IssuerRDN and ds:SubjectRDN elements during signing.

**XMLRDNDescriptorReverseOrder**: Specifies whether to reverse the order of descriptors in RDN.Specifies whether to reverse the order of descriptors in the ds:IssuerRDN and ds:SubjectRDN elements during XML signing. By default, this property is set to true (as specified in RFC 2253, 2.1).
