# Struct secureblackbox::SFTPClient

The SFTPClient struct provides client-side functionality for SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol).

## Syntax

```text
secureblackbox::SFTPClient
```

## Remarks

SFTP is a file transfer subsystem that runs on top of secure shell (SSH) connection. This means that SFTP uses the whole strength of security provided by the SSH protocol, at the same time providing strong file transfer capabilities.

Please do keep in mind that there exist two protocols that offer similar secure file transfer features. SFTP works on top of SSH and normally uses port 22. FTPS works on top of TLS (or SSL) and normally uses ports 21 and 990. The protocols are very different, so please make sure you are after the right component. This component works with SFTP. Use the FTPClient component to connect to FTPS servers.

Below are the typical steps that let you integrate SFTPClient to your project:

- Set up your [username](#username-property-sftpclient-struct) and [password](#password-property-sftpclient-struct). SSH uses mandatory client-side authentication, so in most cases you need to provide your username, your password, or, sometimes, your private key. Use key property to provide your key, if needed.
- Be ready to handle server authentication, which is also mandatory in SSH. SSH operates a concept of a trusted keys file, where keys of known servers are stored. You can assign a path to your own trusted keys file to the [trusted_keys_file](#trusted_keys_file-property-sftpclient-struct) property. When a client receives a server key, it reports it to your code via its [on_known_key_received](#on_known_key_received-event-sftpclient-struct) or [on_unknown_key_received](#on_unknown_key_received-event-sftpclient-struct) event, depending on whether the key was found in the trusted list. If you leave [trusted_keys_file](#trusted_keys_file-property-sftpclient-struct) empty, SFTPClient will only be able to fire the [on_unknown_key_received](#on_unknown_key_received-event-sftpclient-struct) event, since there will be no known keys to report.
- If needed, customize proxy parameters and ssh_settings.
- Consider interacting more with SFTPClient by subscribing to [on_auth_attempt](#on_auth_attempt-event-sftpclient-struct), [on_auth_failed](#on_auth_failed-event-sftpclient-struct), and [on_auth_succeeded](#on_auth_succeeded-event-sftpclient-struct) events to be notified about the client authentication progress.
- When you are ready to connect, call [connect](#connect-method-sftpclient-struct), passing the details of the server as parameters. During the initial handshake, the following events will fire: [on_unknown_key_received](#on_unknown_key_received-event-sftpclient-struct) (or [on_known_key_received](#on_known_key_received-event-sftpclient-struct)), and then one or more [on_auth_attempt](#on_auth_attempt-event-sftpclient-struct), [on_auth_failed](#on_auth_failed-event-sftpclient-struct) and [on_auth_succeeded](#on_auth_succeeded-event-sftpclient-struct).
- Upon completion of the [connect](#connect-method-sftpclient-struct) method, the component is ready for file operations. Use [download_file](#download_file-method-sftpclient-struct), [upload_file](#upload_file-method-sftpclient-struct), [list_dir](#list_dir-method-sftpclient-struct), [delete_file](#delete_file-method-sftpclient-struct) and other file transfer methods to work with the server file system.
- When you are done with your work, call [disconnect](#disconnect-method-sftpclient-struct) to close the connection.

Some SFTP servers, primarily older ones, may expose various transfer issues. If you come across a weird issue that you believe should not be happening (such as repeated connection closures in the middle of the transfer), please try adjusting the following properties:

- [auto_adjust_transfer_block](#auto_adjust_transfer_block-property-sftpclient-struct) to false,
- [pipeline_length](#pipeline_length-property-sftpclient-struct) to 1,
- [upload_block_size](#upload_block_size-property-sftpclient-struct) to 16384,
- [download_block_size](#download_block_size-property-sftpclient-struct) to 16384.

 These adjustments will put SFTPClient in very conservative transfer setup. While this setup may be quite sluggish with modern servers, it should make SFTPClient interoperable with most older servers.

### Object Lifetime

 The *new()* method returns a mutable reference to a struct instance. The object itself is kept in the global list maintained by SecureBlackbox. Due to this, the SFTPClient struct cannot be disposed of automatically. Please, call the *dispose(&mut; self)* method of SFTPClient when you have finished using the instance.

## Data Type

String

# external_crypto_key_id property ([SFTPClient](#struct-secureblackboxsftpclient) Struct)

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

## Syntax

*Rust Syntax*

```text
fn external_crypto_key_id(&self ) -> Result<String, SecureBlackboxError> fn set_external_crypto_key_id(&self, value : &str) ->  Option<SecureBlackboxError>
fn set_external_crypto_key_id_ref(&self, value : &String) ->  Option<SecureBlackboxError>
```

## 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 [external_crypto_key_secret](#external_crypto_key_secret-property-sftpclient-struct) 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

# external_crypto_key_secret property ([SFTPClient](#struct-secureblackboxsftpclient) Struct)

The pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.

## Syntax

*Rust Syntax*

```text
fn external_crypto_key_secret(&self ) -> Result<String, SecureBlackboxError> fn set_external_crypto_key_secret(&self, value : &str) ->  Option<SecureBlackboxError>
fn set_external_crypto_key_secret_ref(&self, value : &String) ->  Option<SecureBlackboxError>
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

The pre-shared key used for DC request authentication. This key must be set and match the key used by the DCAuth counterpart for the scheme to work.

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

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the struct, 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-sftpclient-struct), you must call *Config("PROPERTY")*. The value will be returned as a string.

| ehStopOnFailure | 0 | Stop on the first failure and throw an exception |
| ehIgnoreErrors | 1 | Ignore individual processing errors, just proceed to the next item on the list |
| ehTryAllItems | 2 | Try to process all the items by ignoring any mid-way errors, but throw an exception at the end of the processing if any of the items failed to process |

This method is a more efficient way to delete a group of files than deleting them one by one.

# dir_exists method ([SFTPClient](#struct-secureblackboxsftpclient) Struct)

Checks if a directory exists on the SFTP server.

## Syntax

*Rust Syntax*

```text
fn dir_exists(&self, remote_dir : &str) ->  Result<bool, SecureBlackboxError>

Supported authentication types:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| atRhosts | 0x01 | RHOSTS file authentication. Rarely used today. |
| atPublicKey | 0x02 | Public key (sometimes called private key) authentication |
| atPassword | 0x04 | Password-based authentication |
| atHostbased | 0x08 | Hostbased authentication |
| atKeyboard | 0x10 | Keyboard-interactive authentication. This is often used in place of generic password authentication. |
| atGssWithMic | 0x20 | GSS authentication |

  pub fn set_on_auth_failed(&mut self, value : &'a dyn SFTPClientAuthFailedEvent);
  ...
}
```

## Remarks

This event fires if an authentication attempt fails (for example, if a bad password had been provided). *AuthType* parameter indicates the authentication type.

AuthFailed may be fired more than once, depending on the configured authentication parameters and the value assigned to the [auth_attempts](#auth_attempts-property-sftpclient-struct) property.

This event does not necessarily lead to connection abortion, as the client may still have a chance of authenticating with a different method.

Supported authentication types:

|  |  |  |

*ErrorCode* contains an error code and *Description* contains a textual description of the error. For a list of error codes please refer to [SFTP](#trappable-errors-sftpclient-struct).

# on_external_sign event ([SFTPClient](#struct-secureblackboxsftpclient) Struct)

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

## Syntax

*Rust Syntax*

```text
// SFTPClientExternalSignEventArgs carries the SFTPClient ExternalSign event's parameters.
pub struct SFTPClientExternalSignEventArgs {
  fn operation_id(&self) -> &String
  fn hash_algorithm(&self) -> &String
  fn pars(&self) -> &String
  fn data(&self) -> &String
  fn signed_data(&self) -> &String
  fn set_signed_data(&self, value : &str)
  fn set_signed_data_ref(&self, value : &String)
}

// SFTPClientExternalSignEvent defines the signature of the SFTPClient ExternalSign event's handler function.
pub trait SFTPClientExternalSignEvent {
  fn on_external_sign(&self, sender : SFTPClient, e : &mut SFTPClientExternalSignEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> SFTPClient<'a> {
  pub fn on_external_sign(&self) -> &'a dyn SFTPClientExternalSignEvent;
  pub fn set_on_external_sign(&mut self, value : &'a dyn SFTPClientExternalSignEvent);
  ...
}
```

## 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 struct via the *SignedData* parameter.

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

The struct 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();
};
```

# on_file_name_change_needed event ([SFTPClient](#struct-secureblackboxsftpclient) Struct)

Asks the application for a new file name.

## Syntax

*Rust Syntax*

pub struct SFTPClientFileNameChangeNeededEventArgs {
  fn file_name(&self) -> &String
  fn set_file_name(&self, value : &str)
  fn set_file_name_ref(&self, value : &String)
  fn force(&self) -> bool
  fn set_force(&self, value : bool)
}

// SFTPClientFileNameChangeNeededEvent defines the signature of the SFTPClient FileNameChangeNeeded event's handler function.

```

## Remarks

The struct fires this event to tell the application that the server has introduced itself with a key not present in [trusted_keys_file](#trusted_keys_file-property-sftpclient-struct).

The details of the key are provided: *Algorithm* and *Bits* specify the key algorithm and the number of bits. *FingerprintSHA256* contains the key's fingerprint.

In this event handler, you need to make a decision whether to proceed with the connection. Use *Action* to tell the struct what it should do with the key:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| catAcceptOnce | 1 | Accept the key for the current session only. |
| catAcceptPermanently | 2 | Accept the key for the current session and store the key to the trusted keys list. |
| catReject | 3 | Reject the key and close the connection. |

 Note that accepting an unknown and unchecked key may be risky.

# Config Settings ([SFTPClient](#struct-secureblackboxsftpclient) Struct)

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

### SFTPClient Config Settings

**AdjustFileTimes**: Whether file times should be adjusted after upload/download.If this property value is True, file times (creation, access and last modification times) will be adjusted after upload/download operation.

**AllAlgorithms**: Returns the list of algorithms enabled in the component.Use this configuration setting to obtain the list of algorithms currently enabled in the component in the *kexinit* format.

**ASCIIMode**: Whether ASCII transfer mode is used.When this property is True, ASCII (text) transfer mode is used, otherwise the transfer is performed in binary mode.

**AvailableSpace**: Returns details of server disk space availability. This protocol extension must be supported by the server for this request to work.This config property returns the details of the server disk space. The information is provided in the form of semicolon-separated entries: BytesOnDevice, UnusedBytesOnDevice, BytesAvailableToUser, UnusedBytesAvailableToUser, BytesPerAllocationUnit. You can use this property without parameters, or provide a specific mounting point in brackets: AvailableSpace(./path).

**CaseConversion**: Whether file names and paths should be case-converted.Defines whether file names are converted (on the destination system) to: lowercase (1), uppercase (2).

**CaseSensitive**: Specifies if file paths are case-sensitive.Set this property to True if all file names, paths and file masks should be case-sensitive.

**CloseQuietly**: Controls the client's approach to session closure.The quiet closure entails the client shutting down the connection immediately without expecting graceful notifications from the other side. When closing non-quietly, the client will close the connection gradually, starting from the SSH session before proceeding to shutdown-based socket closure. Both options have their pros and cons; choose carefully the option that you want to use going forward.

**CommandTimeout**: Specifies the command timeout.Specifies the command timeout (the maximum time to expect the result from the SSH command), in milliseconds.

**CompressionAlgorithms**: Returns the list of compression algorithms enabled in the component.Use this configuration setting to get the list of compression algorithms currently enabled in the component, as a respective *kexinit* block line.

**CopyMode**: Tunes up the post-transfer action for batch uploads.Use this setting to adjust the post-transfer action for files that are uploaded or downloaded as part of a batch.

The following values are supported:

- 0 (the default setting) - no post-transfer action.
- 1 - delete each file immediately after it has been transferred to the destination system.
- 2 - delete all the original files after all the files have been transferred to the destination system.

 The difference between modes 1 and 2 is about error management. In the latter case, any (and all) files will only be deleted if the entire batch has been transferred successfully. Any transfer error that happens in the middle cancels the deletion.

In the former case, each file is deleted right after it has been transferred, independently of the outcome of transfer of other items in the batch.

Note that this setting only applies to batch (multi-file_ transfers. It has no effect on single-file transfers.

**DefaultTransferBlock**: Specifies the default transfer block size.This setting provides means to adjust the size of the SFTP transfer block (i.e. the size of the content of the write and read packets). It can be used to influence the transfer speed.

**DefOutboundBlockSize**: The default outbound block size.Use this property to configure the outbound data block size.

**DisablePacketFragmentation**: Enables or disables SSH packet fragmentation.Use this property to enable or disable SSH packet fragmentation. This is one of the settings that is worth a look if encountering unexplained transfer issues.

**EarlyIdString**: Enables the proactive approach to SSH handshake.The rule of thumb in the majority of SSH environments is for the server to initiate the handshake with its identification string (and for the client to respond). By setting this property to true you can tell the client to initiate the handshake by sending out the identification string proactively without waiting for the server to send one in. This setting may help in situations where your SSH or SFTP connection fails unexpectedly due to a timeout or network error.

**EncryptionAlgorithms**: Returns the list of encryption algorithms enabled in the component.Use this configuration setting to get the list of symmetric encryption algorithms currently enabled in the component, as a respective *kexinit* block line.

**ErrorOrigin**: Specifies whether the error is local or remote.Use this property to check where the error took place.

**ErrorSeverity**: Specifies whether the error is fatal.Use this property to check whether the error is fatal or not.

**FileHash**: Returns the hash of the specified file. This protocol extension must be supported by the server for this request to work.Use this property to request the hash of a remote file. Pass the file name in brackets: FileHash(./path/file.ext). You can adjust the hash algorithm using the HashAlgorithm configuration setting.

**HashAlgorithm**: The hash algorithm to use for the protocol operations.Specifies the hash algorithm to use for file protocol operations, such as FileHash.

**HomeDir**: Returns a user's home directory. This protocol extension must be supported by the server for this request to work.Use this property to request a specific user's home directory on the server. Provide the username in brackets: HomeDir(user2).

**IncomingSpeedLimit**: Specifies incoming speed limit.Use this property to limit the maximum number of bytes per second that client may receive. The value of 0 (zero) means "no limitation".

**KeepAlivePeriod**: The inactivity period after which a keep-alive signal will be sent.Use this property to specify tunnel inactivity period (in milliseconds) after which a keep-alive signal will be sent. The default value is 0 (no keep-alive signals).

**KexAlgorithms**: Returns the list of key exchange algorithms enabled in the component.Use this configuration setting to get the list of key exchange algorithms currently enabled in the component, as a respective *kexinit* block line.

**LocalCharset**: Charset used on the client machine.This property specifies the charset used on the local client computer.

**LocalNewLineConvention**: A character string for the end of line (EOL) indication on the local machine.This property contains a character string for the end of line (EOL) indication on the local machine.

**MacAlgorithms**: Returns the list of MAC algorithms enabled in the component.Use this configuration setting to get the list of MAC algorithms currently enabled in the component, as a respective *kexinit* block line.

**NewLineConvention**: A character string for the end of line (EOL) indication on the server.This property contains a character string for the end of line (EOL) indication used by the server. Usually its value is one of: 0x0d, 0x0d0x0a, 0x0a0x0d, or 0x0a, but it can differ for some servers.

**OutgoingSpeedLimit**: Specifies incoming speed limit.Use this property to limit the maximum number of bytes per second that client may send. The value of 0 (zero) means "no limitation".

**PreserveExistingFileTimes**: Whether original file times should be restored upon transfer.If the destination file exists and *PreserveExistingFileTimes* option is enabled, the struct will remember the file's times before transfer, and restore them after the file has been transferred. The default value is False.

**PublicKeyAlgorithms**: Returns the list of public key algorithms enabled in the component.Use this configuration setting to get the list of public key algorithms currently enabled in the component, as a respective *kexinit* block line.

**RedirectStdErr**: Whether to redirect output to StdErr.If this property is True, all output will be redirected to StdErr.

**RemoteCharset**: Charset used on the server.This property specifies the charset used on the server.

**SFTPBufferSize**: The size of internal buffer used for data transfer.Use this property to control the size of the internal buffers used for data transfer.

**SFTPServerExecutableLocations**: Location of the SFTP server executable.Specifies the location of the SFTP server executable.

**SocketRecvBufferSize**: The inbound socket buffer size.Use this property to adjust the size of the inbound socket buffer.

**SocketSendBufferSize**: The outbound socket buffer size.Use this property to adjust the size of the outbound socket buffer.

**StatVFS**: Returns VFS details. This protocol extension must be supported by the server for this request to work.This config property returns the VFS details of the server file system. The information is provided in the form of semicolon-separated entries. You can use this property without parameters, or provide a specific mounting point in brackets: StatVFS(./).

**StdErrData**: The buffer for writing StdErr data.This property represents a buffer where StdErr data is written by the struct.

**SuppressAuxTransferOps**: TBD.TBD

**TempFolder**: Returns the temporary directory offered by the server. This protocol extension must be supported by the server for this request to work.Use this property to request a path to the temporary directory maintained by the server.

**TempPath**: Path for storing temporary files.This setting specifies an absolute path to the location on disk where temporary files are stored. This setting is supported only in the Java edition for all applicable signing components except [PDFSigner](PDFSigner.md#PDFSigner), where this limitation does not apply.

**TreatZeroSizeAsUndefined**: Whether zero size returned by STAT should be considered as undefined.This property specifies if the size of zero returned by the STAT command for a particular file should be considered as undefined. It makes sense to set this property to True, because some operating systems (e.g. Unix-based) return zero size for the files of certain type. For instance, most of the files contained in the /proc directory are reported as 0-sized, while actually not being empty.

**TryPasswordAuth**: Specifies whether the component should attempt the password-based authentication if no password is set.If the Password property is not set, the component disables the password-based authentication. Set this property to true to make it try the empty password instead.

**UseStrictKeyExchange**: Specifies how strict key exchange is supported.This setting controls whether strict key exchange (strict kex) is enabled to mitigate the Terrapin attack. When enabled, the struct will indicate support for strict key exchange by automatically including the pseudo-algorithm *kex-strict-c-v00@openssh.com* for client structs and *kex-strict-s-v00@openssh.com* for server structs in the list of supported key exchange algorithms.

Since both client and server must implement strict key exchange to effectively mitigate the Terrapin attack, the struct provides options to further control the behavior in different scenarios. Possible values for this setting are:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 0 | Disabled. Strict key exchange is not supported in the struct. |
| 1 (default) | Enabled, but not enforced. This setting enables strict key exchange, but if the remote host does not support strict key exchange the connection is still allowed to continue. |
| 2 | Enabled, but reject affected algorithms if the remote host does not support strict key exchange. If the remote host supports strict key exchange all algorithms may be used. If the remote host does not support strict key exchange the connection will only continue if the selected encryption and MAC algorithms are not affected by the Terrapin attack. |
| 3 | Required. If the remote host does not support strict key exchange the connection will fail. |

**UseTruncateFlagOnUpload**: whether to use the 'truncate' flag on file upload.If this property is True, the existing files are opened truncated on upload, otherwise new files are created. The default value is True.

**UseUTF8OnV3**: Whether to apply UTF-8 conversion for SFTP protocol versions 3 and lower.If this property is True, UTF-8 encoding will be applied to file names for SFTP protocol versions 3 and lower.

### 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 struct.

Supported values are:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |

Note that you can provide the required number of iterations by using properties of the relevant key generation component; this global setting is used in scenarios where specific iteration count is not or cannot be provided.

**DNSLocalSuffix**: The suffix to assign for TLD names.Use this global setting to adjust the default suffix to assign to top-level domain names. The default is *.local*.

**EnableClientSideSSLFFDHE**: Enables or disables finite field DHE key exchange support in TLS clients.This global property enables or disables support for finite field DHE key exchange methods in TLS clients. FF DHE is a slower algorithm if compared to EC DHE; enabling it may result in slower connections.

This setting only applies to sessions negotiated with TLS version 1.3.

**EnableSSHMLKEM**: Enables support for ML-KEM/hybrid key exchange algorithms in SSH client and server components.Use this setting to enable hybrid key exchange algorithms in client and server SSH and SFTP components. This is a global setting that enables ML-KEM blanketly in all SSH-dependent components.

**EnableTLSMLKEM**: Enables support for ML-KEM and hybrid groups in TLS client and server components.Use this setting to enable ML-KEM and hybrid key exchange groups in client and server TLS components. This is a global setting that enables ML-KEM blanketly in all TLS-dependent components.

**GlobalCookies**: Gets or sets global cookies for all the HTTP transports.Use this property to get cookies from the GLOBAL cookie storage or restore them back between application sessions. These cookies will be used by all the structs that have its *CookieCaching* property set to "global".

**HardwareCryptoUsePolicy**: The hardware crypto usage policy.This global setting controls the hardware cryptography usage policy.

Supported Values:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| auto | Use hardware cryptography if available; otherwise, fall back to software-based cryptography (default). |
| enable | Always attempt to use hardware cryptography. If unavailable, exception will be thrown. |
| disable | Do not use hardware cryptography. |

**HttpUserAgent**: Specifies the user agent name to be used by all HTTP clients.This global setting defines the User-Agent field of the HTTP request provides information about the software that initiates the request. This value will be used by all the HTTP clients including the ones used internally in other structs.

**HttpVersion**: The HTTP version to use in any inner HTTP client components created.Set this property to 1.0 or 1.1 to indicate the HTTP version that any internal HTTP clients should use.

**IgnoreExpiredMSCTLSigningCert**: Whether to tolerate the expired Windows Update signing certificate.It is not uncommon for Microsoft Windows Update Certificate Trust List to be signed with an expired Microsoft certificate. Setting this global property to true makes SBB ignore the expired factor and take the Trust List into account.

**ListDelimiter**: The delimiter character for multi-element lists.Allows to set the delimiter for any multi-entry values returned by the component as a string object, such as file lists. For most of the components, this property is set to a newline sequence.

| trace |  | More detailed information. |

**LogMaxEventCount**: Specifies the maximum number of events to cache before further action is taken.Use this property to specify the log event number threshold. This threshold may have different effects, depending on the rotation setting and/or the flush mode.

The default value of this setting is 100.

**LogRotationMode**: Specifies the log rotation mode.Use this property to set the log rotation mode. The following values are defined:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| none |  | No rotation |

| keepolder |  | Keep older entries in the cache upon reaching LogMaxEventCount (newer entries are discarded) |

**MaxASN1BufferLength**: Specifies the maximal allowed length for ASN.1 primitive tag data.This global property limits the maximal allowed length for ASN.1 tag data for non-content-carrying structures, such as certificates, CRLs, or timestamps. It does not affect structures that can carry content, such as CMS/CAdES messages. This is a security property aiming at preventing DoS attacks.

**MaxASN1TreeDepth**: Specifies the maximal depth for processed ASN.1 trees.This global property limits the maximal depth of ASN.1 trees that the component can handle without throwing an error. This is a security property aiming at preventing DoS attacks.

**OCSPHashAlgorithm**: Specifies the hash algorithm to be used to identify certificates in OCSP requests.This global setting defines the hash algorithm to use in OCSP requests during chain validation. Some OCSP responders can only use older algorithms, in which case setting this property to SHA1 may be helpful.

**OldClientSideRSAFallback**: Specifies whether the SSH client should use a SHA1 fallback.Tells the SSH client to use a legacy ssh-rsa authentication even if the server indicates support for newer algorithms, such as rsa-sha-256. This is a backward-compatibility tweak.

**PKICache**: Specifies which PKI elements (certificates, CRLs, OCSP responses) should be cached.The PKICache setting specifies which Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) elements should be cached to optimize performance and reduce retrieval times. It supports comma-separated values to indicate the specific types of PKI data that should be cached.

Supported Values:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| certificate | Enables caching of certificates. |
| crl | Enables caching of Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs). |
| ocsp | Enables caching of OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) responses. |

Example (default value):

```text
PKICache=certificate,crl,ocsp
```

 In this example, the component caches certificates, CRLs, and OCSP responses.

**PKICachePath**: Specifies the file system path where cached PKI data is stored.The PKICachePath setting defines the file system path where cached PKI data (e.g., certificates, CRLs, OCSP responses and Trusted Lists) will be stored. This allows the system to persistently save and retrieve PKI cache data, even across application restarts.

The default value is an empty string - no cached PKI data is stored on disk.

Example:

```text
PKICachePath=C:\Temp\cache
```

 In this example, the cached PKI data is stored in the C:\Temp\cache directory.

**ProductVersion**: Returns the version of the SecureBlackbox library.This property returns the long version string of the SecureBlackbox library being used (major.minor.build.revision).

**ServerSSLDHKeyLength**: Sets the size of the TLS DHE key exchange group.Use this property to adjust the length, in bits, of the DHE prime to be used by the TLS server.

**StaticDNS**: Specifies whether static DNS rules should be used.Set this property to enable or disable static DNS rules for the struct. 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 struct) 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 struct is set to "*local*", the property returns/restores the rules from/to the internal storage of the struct. If *StaticDNS* of the struct 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 structs.

**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).

**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.

**UseLegacyAdESValidation**: Enables legacy AdES validation mode.Use this setting to switch the AdES component to the validation approach that was used in SBB 2020/SBB 2022 (less attention to temporal details).

**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).

**XMLRDNDescriptorSeparator**: Specifies the separator used between descriptors in RDN.Specifies the separator used between descriptors in the ds:IssuerRDN and ds:SubjectRDN elements during XML signing. By default, this property is set to ", " value.
