# BlockedCertCount Property ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

The number of records in the BlockedCert arrays.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property int BlockedCertCount = { read=FBlockedCertCount, write=FSetBlockedCertCount };
```

## Default Value

0

## Remarks

This property controls the size of the following arrays:

- [BlockedCertBytes](#blockedcertbytes-property-tlsclient-component)
- [BlockedCertHandle](#blockedcerthandle-property-tlsclient-component)

The array indices start at *0* and end at *BlockedCertCount - 1*.

This property is not available at design time.

## Data Type

Integer

# BlockedCertBytes Property ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property DynamicArray BlockedCertBytes[int BlockedCertIndex] = { read=FBlockedCertBytes };
```

## Remarks

Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.

The *BlockedCertIndex* parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the [BlockedCertCount](#blockedcertcount-property-tlsclient-component) property.

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

## Data Type

Byte Array

# BlockedCertHandle Property ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

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

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property __int64 BlockedCertHandle[int BlockedCertIndex] = { read=FBlockedCertHandle, write=FSetBlockedCertHandle };
```

## 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 *BlockedCertIndex* parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the [BlockedCertCount](#blockedcertcount-property-tlsclient-component) property.

This property is not available at design time.

String

# ExternalCryptoKeyID Property ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

The ID of the pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String ExternalCryptoKeyID = { read=FExternalCryptoKeyID, write=FSetExternalCryptoKeyID };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

The ID of the pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.

Asynchronous DCAuth-driven communication requires that parties authenticate each other with a secret pre-shared cryptographic key. This provides an extra protection layer for the protocol and diminishes the risk of the private key becoming abused by foreign parties. Use this property to provide the pre-shared key identifier, and use [ExternalCryptoKeySecret](#externalcryptokeysecret-property-tlsclient-component) to pass the key itself.

The same KeyID/KeySecret pair should be used on the DCAuth side for the signing requests to be accepted.

Note: The KeyID/KeySecret scheme is very similar to the AuthKey scheme used in various Cloud service providers to authenticate users.

Example:

```text
  signer.ExternalCrypto.KeyID = "MainSigningKey";
  signer.ExternalCrypto.KeySecret = "abcdef0123456789";
```

## Data Type

String

# ExternalCryptoKeySecret Property ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property DynamicArray TLSServerCertBytes[int TLSServerCertIndex] = { read=FTLSServerCertBytes };
```

## Remarks

Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.

The *TLSServerCertIndex* parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the [TLSServerCertCount](#tlsservercertcount-property-tlsclient-component) property.

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

## Data Type

Byte Array

# TLSServerCertFingerprint Property ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

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

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String TLSServerCertFingerprint[int TLSServerCertIndex] = { read=FTLSServerCertFingerprint };
```

## 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 *TLSServerCertIndex* parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the [TLSServerCertCount](#tlsservercertcount-property-tlsclient-component) property.

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

## Data Type

String

# TLSServerCertHandle Property ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

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

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property __int64 TLSServerCertHandle[int TLSServerCertIndex] = { read=FTLSServerCertHandle };
```

## 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());
```

# TLSRevocationCheck Property ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

Specifies the kind(s) of revocation check to perform.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property TsbxTLSClientTLSRevocationChecks TLSRevocationCheck = { read=FTLSRevocationCheck, write=FSetTLSRevocationCheck };
enum TsbxTLSClientTLSRevocationChecks {
  crcNone=0,

  crcAllCRLAndOCSP=4,
  crcAnyCRL=5,
  crcAnyOCSP=6,
  crcAnyCRLOrOCSP=7,
  crcAnyOCSPOrCRL=8
};
```

## Default Value

crcAuto

## Remarks

Specifies the kind(s) of revocation check to perform.

Revocation checking is necessary to ensure the integrity of the chain and obtain up-to-date certificate validity and trustworthiness information.

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| crcNone | 0 | No revocation checking. |
| crcAuto | 1 | Automatic mode selection. Currently this maps to crcAnyOCSPOrCRL, but it may change in the future. |
| crcAllCRL | 2 | All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed. |
| crcAllOCSP | 3 | All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed. |
| crcAllCRLAndOCSP | 4 | All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed. |
| crcAnyCRL | 5 | All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. |
| crcAnyOCSP | 6 | All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. |
| crcAnyCRLOrOCSP | 7 | All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. CRL endpoints are checked first. |
| crcAnyOCSPOrCRL | 8 | All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. OCSP endpoints are checked first. |

This setting controls the way the revocation checks are performed for every certificate in the chain. Typically certificates come with two types of revocation information sources: CRL (certificate revocation lists) and OCSP responders. CRLs are static objects periodically published by the CA at some online location. OCSP responders are active online services maintained by the CA that can provide up-to-date information on certificate statuses in near real time.

There are some conceptual differences between the two. CRLs are normally larger in size. Their use involves some latency because there is normally some delay between the time when a certificate was revoked and the time the subsequent CRL mentioning that is published. The benefits of CRL is that the same object can provide statuses for all certificates issued by a particular CA, and that the whole technology is much simpler than OCSP (and thus is supported by more CAs).

This setting lets you adjust the validation course by including or excluding certain types of revocation sources from the validation process. The crcAnyOCSPOrCRL setting (give preference to the faster OCSP route and only demand one source to succeed) is a good choice for most typical validation environments. The "crcAll*" modes are much stricter, and may be used in scenarios where bulletproof validity information is essential.

NOTE: If no CRL or OCSP endpoints are provided by the CA, the revocation check will be considered successful. This is because the CA chose not to supply revocation information for its certificates, meaning they are considered irrevocable.

NOTE: Within each of the above settings, if any retrieved CRL or OCSP response indicates that the certificate has been revoked, the revocation check fails.

This property is not available at design time.

Integer

# TrustedCertBytes Property ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property DynamicArray TrustedCertBytes[int TrustedCertIndex] = { read=FTrustedCertBytes };
```

## Remarks

Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.

The *TrustedCertIndex* parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the [TrustedCertCount](#trustedcertcount-property-tlsclient-component) property.

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

## Data Type

Byte Array

# TrustedCertHandle Property ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

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

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property __int64 TrustedCertHandle[int TrustedCertIndex] = { read=FTrustedCertHandle, write=FSetTrustedCertHandle };
```

## 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 *TrustedCertIndex* parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the [TrustedCertCount](#trustedcertcount-property-tlsclient-component) property.

This property is not available at design time.

## Data Type

Long64

# Config Method ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-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-tlsclient-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-tlsclient-component), you must call *Config("PROPERTY")*. The value will be returned as a string.

# Connect Method ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

Establishes connection to a remote server.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall Connect(String Address, int Port);
```

## Remarks

Call this method to establish connection to a TLS server at *Address*:*Port*.

# Disconnect Method ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

Disconnects from the server.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall Disconnect();
```

## Remarks

Call this method to close an active connection to the server.

# DoAction Method ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

Performs an additional action.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
String __fastcall DoAction(String ActionID, String ActionParams);
```

## Remarks

DoAction is a generic method available in every component. It is used to perform an additional action introduced after the product major release. The list of actions is not fixed, and may be flexibly extended over time.

The unique identifier (case insensitive) of the action is provided in the *ActionID* parameter.

*ActionParams* contains the value of a single parameter, or a list of multiple parameters for the action in the form of *PARAM1=VALUE1;PARAM2=VALUE2;...*.

Common ActionIDs:

|  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Action | Parameters | Returned value | Description |
| ResetTrustedListCache | none | none | Clears the cached list of trusted lists. |
| ResetCertificateCache | none | none | Clears the cached certificates. |
| ResetCRLCache | none | none | Clears the cached CRLs. |
| ResetOCSPResponseCache | none | none | Clears the cached OCSP responses. |

# ExportKeyMaterial Method ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

Derives key material from the session's master key using the TLS exporters scheme.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall ExportKeyMaterial(String Lbl, DynamicArray<Byte> Context, int Len);
```

## Remarks

Some protocols - for example, SRTP - use TLS exporters to derive their own session keys from the TLS master key. This method lets you employ the exporters scheme to obtain such keys, or to generate secure keys for your own needs from the current TLS session.

The exported keys depend on the master key, and are different for every TLS session. However, a client and server sharing a session will always end up with the same key material, as long as they use the same values of *Lbl*, *Context*, and *Len*.

# ReceiveAllData Method ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

Reads data from the connection.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall ReceiveAllData(int Size);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to read *Size* bytes from the connection. The method will block until the requested number of bytes is received.

Use [OutputBytes](#outputbytes-property-tlsclient-component) (or [OutputString](#outputstring-property-tlsclient-component)) to access the received data.

Use [ReceiveData](#receivedata-method-tlsclient-component) method to read all the data there is and return without waiting for the whole piece.

# ReceiveData Method ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

Reads data from the connection.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall ReceiveData(int Size);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to read *Size* or less bytes from the connection. The method will read as much data is possible (but no more than *Size*) and return without blocking.

Use [OutputBytes](#outputbytes-property-tlsclient-component) (or [OutputString](#outputstring-property-tlsclient-component)) to access the received data.

# Reset Method ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

Resets the component settings.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall Reset();
```

## Remarks

Reset is a generic method available in every component.

# SendData Method ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

Sends a buffer to the server.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall SendData(DynamicArray<Byte> Buffer);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to send a byte array to the server.

# SendKeepAlive Method ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

Sends a keep-alive packet.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall SendKeepAlive();
```

## Remarks

Use this method to send a keep-alive packet to the server. Keep alive is an empty packet; keep-alive signals sent occasionally can be used to keep connection up.

# SendText Method ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

Sends a text string to the server.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall SendText(String Text);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to send a text string to the server.

# StartTLS Method ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

Starts TLS negotiation on an established TCP connection.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall StartTLS();
```

## Remarks

Use this method to initiate a TLS handshake on a plain TCP connection. This method is handy for establishing explicit TLS connections manually.

# StopTLS Method ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

Downgrades the protected connection to plain TCP.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall StopTLS(bool Quiet);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to make the component stop encrypting session data with TLS and downgrade the connection to plain unencrypted TCP. Use the *Quiet* parameter to suppress sending of the close_notify alert upon closing the TLS session.

# Error Event ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

Information about errors during data delivery.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
typedef struct {
  int ErrorCode;
  bool Fatal;
  bool Remote;
  String Description;
} TsbxTLSClientErrorEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxTLSClientErrorEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxTLSClientErrorEventParams *e);
__property TsbxTLSClientErrorEvent OnError = { read=FOnError, write=FOnError };
```

## Remarks

The event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing.

*ErrorCode* contains an error code and *Description* contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the [HTTPS](#trappable-errors-tlsclient-component) section.

# ExternalSign Event ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

Handles remote or external signing initiated by the SignExternal method or other source.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
typedef struct {
  String OperationId;
  String HashAlgorithm;
  String Pars;
  String Data;
  String SignedData;
} TsbxTLSClientExternalSignEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxTLSClientExternalSignEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxTLSClientExternalSignEventParams *e);
__property TsbxTLSClientExternalSignEvent OnExternalSign = { read=FOnExternalSign, write=FOnExternalSign };
```

## Remarks

Assign a handler to this event if you need to delegate a low-level signing operation to an external, remote, or custom signing engine. Depending on the settings, the handler will receive a hashed or unhashed value to be signed.

The event handler must pass the value of *Data* to the signer, obtain the signature, and pass it back to the component via the *SignedData* parameter.

*OperationId* provides a comment about the operation and its origin. It depends on the exact component being used, and may be empty. *HashAlgorithm* specifies the hash algorithm being used for the operation, and *Pars* contains algorithm-dependent parameters.

The component uses base16 (hex) encoding for the *Data*, *SignedData*, and *Pars* parameters. If your signing engine uses a different input and output encoding, you may need to decode and/or encode the data before and/or after the signing.

A sample MD5 hash encoded in base16: a0dee2a0382afbb09120ffa7ccd8a152 - lower case base16 A0DEE2A0382AFBB09120FFA7CCD8A152 - upper case base16

A sample event handler that uses the .NET RSACryptoServiceProvider class may look like the following:

```text
signer.OnExternalSign += (s, e) =>
{
       var cert = new X509Certificate2("cert.pfx", "", X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable);
       var key = (RSACryptoServiceProvider)cert.PrivateKey;

       var dataToSign = e.Data.FromBase16String();
       var signedData = key.SignHash(dataToSign, "2.16.840.1.101.3.4.2.1");
       e.SignedData = signedData.ToBase16String();
};
```

# Notification Event ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

This event notifies the application about an underlying control flow event.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
typedef struct {
  String EventID;
  String EventParam;
} TsbxTLSClientNotificationEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxTLSClientNotificationEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxTLSClientNotificationEventParams *e);
__property TsbxTLSClientNotificationEvent OnNotification = { read=FOnNotification, write=FOnNotification };
```

## Remarks

The component fires this event to let the application know about some event, occurrence, or milestone in the component. For example, it may fire to report completion of the document processing. The list of events being reported is not fixed, and may be flexibly extended over time.

The unique identifier of the event is provided in the *EventID* parameter. *EventParam* contains any parameters accompanying the occurrence. Depending on the type of the component, the exact action it is performing, or the document being processed, one or both may be omitted.

This component can fire this event with the following *EventID* values:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| TLSExtensions.CertificateStatus | TBD |
| TLSExtensions.PreSharedIdentityHint | TBD |

# TLSCertNeeded Event ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

Fires when a remote TLS party requests a client certificate.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
typedef struct {
  String Host;
  String CANames;
} TsbxTLSClientTLSCertNeededEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxTLSClientTLSCertNeededEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxTLSClientTLSCertNeededEventParams *e);
__property TsbxTLSClientTLSCertNeededEvent OnTLSCertNeeded = { read=FOnTLSCertNeeded, write=FOnTLSCertNeeded };
```

## Remarks

This event fires to notify the implementation that a remote TLS server has requested a client certificate. The *Host* parameter identifies the host that makes a request, and the *CANames* parameter (optional, according to the TLS spec) advises on the accepted issuing CAs.

Use the TLSClientChain property in response to this event to provide the requested certificate. Please make sure the client certificate includes the associated private key. Note that you may set the certificates before the connection without waiting for this event to fire.

This event is preceded by the [TLSHandshake](#tlshandshake-event-tlsclient-component) event for the given host and, if the certificate was accepted, succeeded by the [TLSEstablished](#tlsestablished-event-tlsclient-component) event.

# TLSCertValidate Event ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

This event is fired upon receipt of the TLS server's certificate, allowing the user to control its acceptance.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
typedef struct {
  String ServerHost;
  String ServerIP;
  bool Accept;
} TsbxTLSClientTLSCertValidateEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxTLSClientTLSCertValidateEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxTLSClientTLSCertValidateEventParams *e);
__property TsbxTLSClientTLSCertValidateEvent OnTLSCertValidate = { read=FOnTLSCertValidate, write=FOnTLSCertValidate };
```

## Remarks

This event is fired during a TLS handshake. Use the TLSServerChain property to access the certificate chain. In general, components may contact a number of TLS endpoints during their work, depending on their configuration.

*Accept* is assigned in accordance with the outcome of the internal validation check performed by the component, and can be adjusted if needed.

# TLSEstablished Event ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

Fires when a TLS handshake with Host successfully completes.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
typedef struct {
  String Host;
  String Version;
  String Ciphersuite;
  DynamicArray ConnectionId;
  bool Abort;
} TsbxTLSClientTLSEstablishedEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxTLSClientTLSEstablishedEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxTLSClientTLSEstablishedEventParams *e);
__property TsbxTLSClientTLSEstablishedEvent OnTLSEstablished = { read=FOnTLSEstablished, write=FOnTLSEstablished };
```

## Remarks

The component uses this event to notify the application about a successful completion of a TLS handshake.

The *Version*, *Ciphersuite*, and *ConnectionId* parameters indicate the security parameters of the new connection. Use the *Abort* parameter if you need to terminate the connection at this stage.

# TLSHandshake Event ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

Fires when a new TLS handshake is initiated, before the handshake commences.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
typedef struct {
  String Host;
  bool Abort;
} TsbxTLSClientTLSHandshakeEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxTLSClientTLSHandshakeEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxTLSClientTLSHandshakeEventParams *e);
__property TsbxTLSClientTLSHandshakeEvent OnTLSHandshake = { read=FOnTLSHandshake, write=FOnTLSHandshake };
```

## Remarks

The component uses this event to notify the application about the start of a new TLS handshake to *Host*. If the handshake is successful, this event will be followed by the [TLSEstablished](#tlsestablished-event-tlsclient-component) event. If the server chooses to request a client certificate, the [TLSCertNeeded](#tlscertneeded-event-tlsclient-component) event will also be fired.

# TLSPSK Event ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

Notifies the application about the PSK key exchange.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
typedef struct {
  String Host;
  String Hint;
} TsbxTLSClientTLSPSKEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxTLSClientTLSPSKEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxTLSClientTLSPSKEventParams *e);
__property TsbxTLSClientTLSPSKEvent OnTLSPSK = { read=FOnTLSPSK, write=FOnTLSPSK };
```

## Remarks

The component fires this event to notify the application about the beginning of TLS-PSK key exchange with *Host*. The *Hint* parameter may be used by the server to identify the key or service to use. Use the PreSharedKey field of TLSSettings to provide the pre-shared key to the component.

# TLSShutdown Event ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-component) Component)

Reports the graceful closure of a TLS connection.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
typedef struct {
  String Host;
} TsbxTLSClientTLSShutdownEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxTLSClientTLSShutdownEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxTLSClientTLSShutdownEventParams *e);
__property TsbxTLSClientTLSShutdownEvent OnTLSShutdown = { read=FOnTLSShutdown, write=FOnTLSShutdown };
```

## Remarks

This event notifies the application about the closure of an earlier established TLS connection. Note that only graceful connection closures are reported.

# Config Settings ([TLSClient](#tlsclient-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-tlsclient-component) method.

### TLSClient Config Settings

**CachedCRLMaxAge**: Specifies the maximum age of a cached CRL.Use this setting to specify the maximum number of seconds that may pass since a CRL was added to the global cache. When the cached CRL is older than this value, it is disregarded and a new CRL should be fetched.

The default value is 0, which disables the absolute CRL age check. See [RevocationCacheAgePolicy](#RevocationCacheAgePolicy) for configuring this setting together with the related cached revocation freshness settings.

**CachedCRLMaxAgeRatio**: Specifies the maximum age of a cached CRL as a percentage of its remaining lifetime.Use this setting to specify the percentage of the CRL's remaining lifetime, measured from the time the CRL was added to the global cache to the CRL's NextUpdate. When this portion of the remaining lifetime has passed, the cached CRL is disregarded and a new CRL should be fetched.

The default value is 0, which disables the CRL ratio check. Values are interpreted in the 0..100 range. See [RevocationCacheAgePolicy](#RevocationCacheAgePolicy) for configuring this setting together with the related cached revocation freshness settings.

**CachedCRLOverlapTime**: Specifies the time period before a cached CRL's NextUpdate when it is considered stale and must be refreshed.Use this setting to specify the number of seconds before the NextUpdate time at which the cached CRL should be disregarded, and a new CRL should be fetched.

The default value is 0, which disables the CRL overlap check. See [RevocationCacheAgePolicy](#RevocationCacheAgePolicy) for configuring this setting together with the related cached revocation freshness settings.

This setting is evaluated independently from [CachedCRLMaxAge](#CachedCRLMaxAge) and [CachedCRLMaxAgeRatio](#CachedCRLMaxAgeRatio). If several cached CRL freshness settings are enabled, the cached CRL is used only if it satisfies all of them.

**CachedOCSPResponseMaxAge**: Specifies the maximum age of a cached OCSP response.Use this setting to specify the maximum number of seconds that may pass since an OCSP response was added to the global cache. When the cached OCSP response is older than this value, it is disregarded and a new OCSP response should be fetched.

The default value is 0, which disables the absolute OCSP response age check. This setting is also used to limit open-ended OCSP responses that do not have NextUpdate. See [RevocationCacheAgePolicy](#RevocationCacheAgePolicy) for configuring this setting together with the related cached revocation freshness settings.

**CachedOCSPResponseMaxAgeRatio**: Specifies the maximum age of a cached OCSP response as a percentage of its remaining lifetime.Use this setting to specify the percentage of the OCSP response's remaining lifetime, measured from the time the OCSP response was added to the global cache to the response's NextUpdate. When this portion of the remaining lifetime has passed, the cached OCSP response is disregarded and a new OCSP response should be fetched.

The default value is 0, which disables the OCSP response ratio check. Values are interpreted in the 0..100 range. Open-ended OCSP responses without NextUpdate ignore this setting; use [CachedOCSPResponseMaxAge](#CachedOCSPResponseMaxAge) to limit their age. See [RevocationCacheAgePolicy](#RevocationCacheAgePolicy) for configuring this setting together with the related cached revocation freshness settings.

**CachedOCSPResponseOverlapTime**: Specifies the time period before a cached OCSP response's NextUpdate when it is considered stale and must be refreshed.Use this setting to specify the number of seconds before the NextUpdate time at which the cached OCSP response should be disregarded, and a new OCSP response should be fetched.

The default value is 0, which disables the OCSP response overlap check. See [RevocationCacheAgePolicy](#RevocationCacheAgePolicy) for configuring this setting together with the related cached revocation freshness settings.

This setting is evaluated independently from [CachedOCSPResponseMaxAge](#CachedOCSPResponseMaxAge) and [CachedOCSPResponseMaxAgeRatio](#CachedOCSPResponseMaxAgeRatio). If several cached OCSP response freshness settings are enabled, the cached OCSP response is used only if it satisfies all of them.

**DeltaCRLPreference**: Specifies whether complete or delta CRLs are preferred.Use this setting to specify which CRL type should be preferred during TLS certificate revocation checks.

The default value is **dcrlpPreferDelta** (0).

Supported values:

- **dcrlpPreferDelta** (0): retrieve and use delta CRLs when available, falling back to complete CRLs when needed.
- **dcrlpPreferComplete** (1): try complete CRLs first, and use delta CRLs only if complete CRLs cannot be retrieved.

**EvaluateSystemTrust**: Enables or disables usage of the platform's built-in trust validation facilities.Enable this property to delegate the chain validation to the operating system's native trust evaluation mechanism (e.g. SecTrustEvaluate on Apple platforms). This functionality is currently available on macOS and iOS systems only. This property is enabled by default.

**IgnoreSystemTrust**: Whether trusted Windows Certificate Stores should be treated as trusted.Specifies whether, during chain validation, the component should respect the trust to CA certificates as configured in the operating system. In Windows this effectively defines whether the component should trust the certificates residing in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store.

If [IgnoreSystemTrust](#IgnoreSystemTrust) is True, certificates residing in the trusted root store are treated as if they are known, rather than trusted. Only certificates provided via other means (such as the TrustedCertificates property) are considered trusted.

**RevocationCacheAgePolicy**: Specifies a preset policy for cached CRL and OCSP response freshness settings.Use this setting to configure all cached revocation freshness settings at once. The default value is Disabled.

Supported values are case-insensitive:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| Disabled | Sets [CachedCRLOverlapTime](#CachedCRLOverlapTime), [CachedOCSPResponseOverlapTime](#CachedOCSPResponseOverlapTime), [CachedCRLMaxAge](#CachedCRLMaxAge), [CachedOCSPResponseMaxAge](#CachedOCSPResponseMaxAge), [CachedCRLMaxAgeRatio](#CachedCRLMaxAgeRatio), and [CachedOCSPResponseMaxAgeRatio](#CachedOCSPResponseMaxAgeRatio) to 0. This value is the default. It only disables the cache-age freshness policy; it does not disable revocation checking or use of the revocation cache. |
| Default | Applies the component default freshness settings. For this component, Default is equivalent to Disabled. |
| Short | Uses crl:43200;50;300,ocsp:1800;50;300. This means: CRL maximum age 12 hours, CRL age ratio 50%, CRL overlap 5 minutes; OCSP response maximum age 30 minutes, OCSP response age ratio 50%, OCSP response overlap 5 minutes. |
| Long | Uses crl:518400;50;3600,ocsp:21600;50;3600. This means: CRL maximum age 6 days, CRL age ratio 50%, CRL overlap 1 hour; OCSP response maximum age 6 hours, OCSP response age ratio 50%, OCSP response overlap 1 hour. |
| N | Interprets N as an integer number of seconds. The overlap settings are set to N seconds, CRL maximum age is set to N * 144, OCSP response maximum age is set to N * 6, and both ratio settings are set to 50. |
| crl:<maxAge>;<ratio>;<overlap>,ocsp:<maxAge>;<ratio>;<overlap> | Sets the CRL and OCSP response freshness values explicitly. |

Ratios must be in the 0..100 range. Maximum age and overlap values must be non-negative. Short and Long are time-scale profiles: Long allows older cached revocation information by increasing maximum ages, but also uses a larger pre-expiry safety margin by increasing overlap times. For individual [CachedCRLOverlapTime](#CachedCRLOverlapTime), [CachedOCSPResponseOverlapTime](#CachedOCSPResponseOverlapTime), [CachedCRLMaxAge](#CachedCRLMaxAge), [CachedOCSPResponseMaxAge](#CachedOCSPResponseMaxAge), [CachedCRLMaxAgeRatio](#CachedCRLMaxAgeRatio), and [CachedOCSPResponseMaxAgeRatio](#CachedOCSPResponseMaxAgeRatio) settings, a value of 0 disables the corresponding freshness check. The individual settings remain available for advanced configuration and can be used after this setting to override specific values.

**StaticDNS**: Specifies whether static DNS rules should be used.Set this property to enable or disable static DNS rules for the component. Works only if *UseOwnDNSResolver* is set to *true*.

Supported values are:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| none |  | No static DNS rules (default) |
| local |  | Local static DNS rules |
| global |  | Global static DNS rules |

**StaticIPAddress[domain]**: Gets or sets an IP address for the specified domain name.Use this property to get or set an IP address for the specified domain name in the internal (of the component) or global DNS rules storage depending on the *StaticDNS* value. The type of the IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) is determined automatically. If both addresses are available, they are divided by the | (pipe) character.

**StaticIPAddresses**: Gets or sets all the static DNS rules.Use this property to get static DNS rules from the current rules storage or restore them back between application sessions. 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.

**TLSCiphersuites**: Returns the list of ciphersuites activated in the component for the current session.Check this property to enumerate the list of TLS ciphersuites enabled in the component. A good place to do that is OnTLSHandshake event handler.

**TLSExtensions**: TBD.TBD

**TLSGroups**: Returns the list of TLS key exchange groups enabled in the component.Check this property to enumerate the list of TLS key exchange groups enabled in the component.

**TLSPeerExtensions**: TBD.TBD

**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).

**TLSSessionPurgeInterval**: Specifies how often the session cache should remove the expired TLS sessions.Use this property to specify the time interval of purging the expired TLS sessions from the session cache. Default value is 60 seconds (1 minute).

**TLSVersions**: Returns the list of TLS versions enabled in the component.Check this property to obtain the list of TLS versions enabled in the component, as an integer bitmask.

**TolerateMinorChainIssues**: Whether to tolerate minor chain issues.This parameter controls whether the chain validator should tolerate minor technical issues when validating the chain. Those are:

- CA, revocation source, TLS key usage requirements are not mandated
- Violation of OCSP issuer requirements are ignored
- The AuthorityKeyID extension in CRL- and certificate-issuing CAs are ignored (helps with incorrectly renewed certificates)
- Basic constraints and name constraints of CA certificates are ignored
- Some weaker algorithms are tolerated

**UseEnvStorages**: Enables or disables use of the environment storages.Enable this property to make the chain validation module automatically look up missing CA and intermediate certificates in the environment storages.

**UseMicrosoftCTL**: Enables or disables the automatic use of the Microsoft online certificate trust list.Enable this property to make the chain validation module automatically look up missing CA certificates in the public Windows Update repository.

**UseSystemCertificates**: Enables or disables the use of the system certificates.Use this property to tell the chain validation module to automatically look up missing CA certificates in the system certificates. In many cases it is beneficial to switch this property on, as the operating system certificate configuration provides a representative trust framework.

### Base Config Settings

**ASN1UseGlobalTagCache**: Controls whether ASN.1 module should use a global object cache.This is a performance setting. It is unlikely that you will ever need to adjust it.

**AssignSystemSmartCardPins**: Specifies whether CSP-level PINs should be assigned to CNG keys.This is a low-level tweak for certain cryptographic providers. It is unlikely that you will ever need to adjust it.

**CheckKeyIntegrityBeforeUse**: Enables or disable private key integrity check before use.This global property enables or disables private key material check before each signing operation. This slows down performance a bit, but prevents a selection of attacks on RSA keys where keys with unknown origins are used.

You can switch this property off to improve performance if your project only uses known, good private keys.

**CookieCaching**: Specifies whether a cookie cache should be used for HTTP(S) transports.Set this property to enable or disable cookies caching for the component.

Supported values are:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| off |  | No caching (default) |
| local |  | Local caching |
| global |  | Global caching |

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).

**UseCRLObjectCaching**: Specifies whether reuse of loaded CRL objects is enabled.This setting enables or disables the caching of CRL objects. When set to true (the default value), the system checks if a CRL 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 CRL objects are frequently used.

**UseInternalRandom**: Switches between SecureBlackbox-own and platform PRNGs.Allows to switch between internal/native PRNG implementation and the one provided by the platform.

**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.

**UseSystemOAEPAndPSS**: Enforces or disables the use of system-driven RSA OAEP and PSS computations.This global setting defines who is responsible for performing RSA-OAEP and RSA-PSS computations where the private key is stored in a Windows system store and is exportable. 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:

```text
Config("XMLRDNDescriptorName[OID]=PrimaryName,Alias1,Alias2");
```

Where:

OID: The Object Identifier from the certificate's IssuerRDN or SubjectRDN that you want to map.

PrimaryName: The main descriptor name used in the XML signature when the OID is encountered.

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).
