GISBSender Configuration
The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.GISBSender Configuration Settings
AllowOldPacketType:
Whether to allow the older encrypted packet type.By default the class will only encrypt data using the newer and more secure integrity protected data packet type.
Old implementations such as PGP 6.5.8 may require the older less secure data packet type.
When set to True the class will read the features from the recipient key to determine if the older packet type is required. If the key does require the old packet type, then the older packet type will be used. If the key does not require the old packet type, then the new integrity protected packet type will still be used. By default this value is False. This means under no conditions is the older less secure packet type used. The newer integrity protected packet type is always used. Only enable this setting if you have a requirement to do so. | |||||||||||||||
Authorization:
The Authorization string to be sent to the server.
If the Authorization setting contains a non-empty string,
an Authorization HTTP request header is added to the
request. This header conveys Authorization information to the
server.
This setting is provided so that the class can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the class. The AuthScheme; setting defines the authentication scheme used. In the case of HTTP Basic Authentication (default), every time User and Password are set, they are Base64 encoded, and the result is put in the Authorization setting in the form "Basic [encoded-user-password]". | |||||||||||||||
AuthScheme:
The authorization scheme to be used when server authorization is to be performed.
Use the AuthScheme property to tell the component which type of authorization to perform when the User
and Password properties are set.
Possible values are:
For security reasons, setting this value will clear the values of User and Password. | |||||||||||||||
LogFilename:
The base name of the log file.If set, this will be used as for the filename of the log file.
Note that only the base name should be specified as the component will append the appropriate file extension. | |||||||||||||||
LogLevel:
Specifies the level of detail that is logged.This setting is only applicable if PGPProviderType is set to Internal (1).
This setting controls the level of detail that is logged through the Status event. Possible values are:
| |||||||||||||||
Password:
A password if authentication is to be used.If AuthScheme is set to Basic, the User and Password are Base64 encoded and the result is put
in the Authorization configuration setting in the form "Basic [encoded-user-password]".
If AuthScheme is set to Digest, the User and Password properties are used to respond to the HTTP Digest Authentication challenge from the server. The User and Password properties must be set only after the URL property is set. When the URL property is set, for security reasons, User and Password are immediately cleared. | |||||||||||||||
PGPCombineSignAndEncrypt:
Whether to sign and encrypt in a single step or not.By default, when signing and encrypting the GISB data, the class will sign first and then
encrypt the signed message in a separate step. When this property is set to true, signing and
encrypting will be combined into a single step.
Note that if you are using an external provider (i.e. PGPProviderType is set to 0), setting PGPCombineSignAndEncrypt to true will cause the class to call the PGPProvider's SignAndEncrypt method. | |||||||||||||||
User:
A user name if authentication is to be used.If AuthScheme is set to Basic, the User and Password
are Base64 encoded and the result is put in the Authorization configuration setting
in the form "Basic [encoded-user-password]".
If AuthScheme is set to Digest, the User and Password properties are used to respond to the HTTP Digest Authentication challenge from the server. The User and Password properties must be set only after the URL property is set. When the URL property is set, for security reasons, User and Password are immediately cleared. |

BuildInfo: Information about the product's build.When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
CodePage:
The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).
The following is a list of valid code page identifiers:

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

UseInternalSecurityAPI: Tells the class whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation. By default the class will use the system security libraries to perform cryptographic functions. Setting this to True tells the class to use the internal implementation instead of using the system's security API. |
