The GISBSender component implements an GISB / EDM client.

Syntax

nsoftware.IPWorksEDI.Gisbsender

Remarks

The GISBSender component is used to send EDI or other documents using the GISB (Gas Industry Standards Board) / NAESB (North American Energy Standards Board) EDM (Electronic Delivery Mechanism) protocol.

When sending an EDI message, the client should specify, at a minimum, DataFrom, DataTo, URL, Data, and EDIType. The Post method should then be invoked.

Basic Features: GISB Versions 1.4 and above

Security is provided via the use of PGP. If you want to sign and/or encrypt your message set the SignData and EncryptData properties to true. The component does not itself implement PGP, instead it uses a

The following table defines possible values that may be passed to the SetPGPParam.

homedirThe directory containing the public keyring, secret keyring and trust database. Please note this defaults to the application preferences directory of the user, hence if the GNUPG provider is being used from a ASP.NET application, homedir should be specified.
passphraseThe passphrase to access the secret keys in the secret-keyring.
useridThe identifier used to identify a secret key within the secret-keyring. Note: When decrypting if this value is not specified the component will attempt to find the key within the keyring automatically based on information available in the PGP message itself.
recipient-useridThe identifier used to identify a public key within the public keyring. Note: When verifying a signature if this value is not specified the component will attempt to find the key within the keyring automatically based on information available in the PGP message itself.
timeoutThe timeout in milliseconds that the provider will wait for a response from the OpenPGP executable. The default is 5000 (5 seconds).
usetempfileIf set to "true" the provider will write data to be processed to a temporary file on disk. This is useful when working with large files or binary files.
signingalgorithmThe signing algorithm to use when SignData is True. Possible values are:
  • SHA1
  • MD5
  • SHA256 (default)
  • SHA384
  • SHA512
  • SHA224
  • RIPEMD160
encryptingalgorithmThe encrypting algorithm to use when EncryptData is True. Possible values are:
  • CAST5
  • 3DES
  • AES256
  • AES192
  • AES128 (default)
  • BLOWFISH
  • TWOFISH
  • IDEA
compressionmethodThe compression method to use. Possible values are:
  • zip (default)
  • zlib
  • bzip2
  • none
to allow you to process the PGP data with a library of your choice.

TLS/SSL will also be used if the scheme in URL is "https". In case your trading partner is using a self-signed certificate you may set SSLAcceptServerCert or trap the SSLServerAuthentication event to accept the certificate.

After you Post the server will issue a brief reply. If the server indicates some sort of an error an exception will be thrown. However, the absence of an error message does not necessarily mean that the server was able to read the EDI data. The server may attempt to process the data after closing the connection; if it finds an error it might send a separate error notification which may be processed by the GISBReceiver component.

Extended Security Options: NAESB Version 1.6

Version 1.6 of the NAESB/GISB protocol includes extensions to allow additional security. Like the AS2 protocol, version 1.6 allows for the use of receipts.

To request a receipt, set the ReceiptTo property. The ReceiptType and ReceiptSecurity properties may be used to customize the receipt request; by default, the component will request a GISB-Acknowledgement-Receipt signed over an SHA-1 hash. The receipt will be returned in the HTTP reply, and will automatically be verified by the component.

Instructs the component to unconditionally accept the server certificate that matches the supplied certificate.

Syntax

public Certificate SSLAcceptServerCert { get; set; }
Public Property SSLAcceptServerCert As Certificate

Remarks

If it finds any issues with the certificate presented by the server, the component will normally terminate the connection with an error.

You may override this behavior by supplying a value for SSLAcceptServerCert. If the certificate supplied in SSLAcceptServerCert is the same as the certificate presented by the server, then the server certificate is accepted unconditionally, and the connection will continue normally.

Please note that this functionality is provided only for cases where you otherwise know that you are communicating with the right server. If used improperly, this property may create a security breach. Use it at your own risk.

Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.

SSLCert Property (GISBSender Component)

The certificate to be used during SSL negotiation.

Syntax

public Certificate SSLCert { get; set; }
Public Property SSLCert As Certificate

Remarks

The digital certificate that the component will use during SSL negotiation. Set this property to a valid certificate before starting SSL negotiation. To set a certificate, you may set the Encoded field to the encoded certificate. To select a certificate, use the store and subject fields.

Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.

SSLProvider Property (GISBSender Component)

This specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use.

Syntax

public GisbsenderSSLProviders SSLProvider { get; set; }

enum GisbsenderSSLProviders { sslpAutomatic, sslpPlatform, sslpInternal }
Public Property SSLProvider As GisbsenderSSLProviders

Enum GisbsenderSSLProviders sslpAutomatic sslpPlatform sslpInternal End Enum

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use. In most cases the default value of 0 (Automatic) is recommended and should not be changed. When set to 0 (Automatic) the component will select whether to use the platform implementation or the internal implementation depending on the operating system as well as the TLS version being used.

Possible values are:

0 (sslpAutomatic - default)Automatically selects the appropriate implementation.
1 (sslpPlatform) Uses the platform/system implementation.
2 (sslpInternal) Uses the internal implementation.
Additional Notes

In most cases using the default value (Automatic) is recommended. The component will select a provider depending on the current platform.

When Automatic is selected, on Windows the component will use the platform implementation. On Linux/macOS the component will use the internal implementation. When TLS 1.3 is enabled via SSLEnabledProtocols the internal implementation is used on all platforms.

The .NET Standard library will always use the internal implementation on all platforms.

SSLServerCert Property (GISBSender Component)

The server certificate for the last established connection.

Syntax

public Certificate SSLServerCert { get; }
Public ReadOnly Property SSLServerCert As Certificate

Remarks

SSLServerCert contains the server certificate for the last established connection.

Remarks

The optional human-readable subject of the message.

Timeout Property (GISBSender Component)

A timeout for the component.

Syntax

public int Timeout { get; set; }
Public Property Timeout As Integer

Default Value

60

Remarks

If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations will run uninterrupted until successful completion or an error condition is encountered.

If Timeout is set to a positive value, the component will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.

The component will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not "freeze" and remains responsive.

If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the component throws an exception.

Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, i.e. the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.

The default value for the Timeout property is 60 seconds.

TransactionId Property (GISBSender Component)

The transaction ID of the message.

Syntax

public string TransactionId { get; }
Public ReadOnly Property TransactionId As String

Default Value

""

Remarks

A unique ID for the transaction. In GISB the TransactionId will be generated by the server, so this property will be populated whenever you receive a response from the server.

This property is read-only.

URL Property (GISBSender Component)

The URL to post to.

Syntax

public string URL { get; set; }
Public Property URL As String

Default Value

""

Remarks

Async Version
Public Function Config(ByVal ConfigurationString As String) As Task(Of String)
Public Function Config(ByVal ConfigurationString As String, cancellationToken As CancellationToken) As Task(Of String)

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings 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, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

DoEvents Method (GISBSender Component)

public void DoEvents();

Async Version
public async Task DoEvents();
public async Task DoEvents(CancellationToken cancellationToken);
Public Sub DoEvents()

Async Version
Public Sub DoEvents() As Task
Public Sub DoEvents(cancellationToken As CancellationToken) As Task

Remarks

When DoEvents is called, the component processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.

Post Method (GISBSender Component)

Post data to the server, and check the receipt.

Syntax

public void Post();

Async Version
public async Task Post();
public async Task Post(CancellationToken cancellationToken);
Public Sub Post()

Async Version
Public Sub Post() As Task
Public Sub Post(cancellationToken As CancellationToken) As Task

Remarks

Invoke SetPGPParam to set parameters of your PGP provider. Please refer to the documentation provided with the PGP provider for the parameters required.

The following table defines possible values that may be passed to the SetPGPParam.

homedirThe directory containing the public keyring, secret keyring and trust database. Please note this defaults to the application preferences directory of the user, hence if the GNUPG provider is being used from a ASP.NET application, homedir should be specified.
passphraseThe passphrase to access the secret keys in the secret-keyring.
useridThe identifier used to identify a secret key within the secret-keyring. Note: When decrypting if this value is not specified the component will attempt to find the key within the keyring automatically based on information available in the PGP message itself.
recipient-useridThe identifier used to identify a public key within the public keyring. Note: When verifying a signature if this value is not specified the component will attempt to find the key within the keyring automatically based on information available in the PGP message itself.
timeoutThe timeout in milliseconds that the provider will wait for a response from the OpenPGP executable. The default is 5000 (5 seconds).
usetempfileIf set to "true" the provider will write data to be processed to a temporary file on disk. This is useful when working with large files or binary files.

SetUploadStream Method (GISBSender Component)

Sets the stream to be uploaded to the server.

Syntax

public void SetUploadStream(System.IO.Stream uploadStream);

Async Version
public async Task SetUploadStream(System.IO.Stream uploadStream);
public async Task SetUploadStream(System.IO.Stream uploadStream, CancellationToken cancellationToken);
Public Sub SetUploadStream(ByVal UploadStream As System.IO.Stream)

Async Version
Public Sub SetUploadStream(ByVal UploadStream As System.IO.Stream) As Task
Public Sub SetUploadStream(ByVal UploadStream As System.IO.Stream, cancellationToken As CancellationToken) As Task

Remarks

If you specify EDIData the data will be taken from there instead. Otherwise the contents of the stream will be written to EDIData before transmission. The stream should be open and normally set to position 0.

The component will automatically close this stream if CloseStreamAfterTransfer is true (default). If the stream is closed, you will need to call SetUploadStream again before the next send.

The content of the stream will be read from the current position all the way to the end.

Connected Event (GISBSender Component)

This event is fired immediately after a connection completes (or fails).

Syntax

public event OnConnectedHandler OnConnected;

}
Public Event OnSetCookie As OnSetCookieHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnSetCookieHandler(sender As Object, e As GisbsenderSetCookieEventArgs)

Public Class GisbsenderSetCookieEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property Name As String
  Public ReadOnly Property Value As String
  Public ReadOnly Property Expires As String
  Public ReadOnly Property Domain As String
  Public ReadOnly Property Path As String
  Public ReadOnly Property Secure As Boolean
End Class

Remarks

The SetCookie event is fired for every Set-Cookie: header received from the HTTP server.

The Name parameter contains the name of the cookie, with the corresponding value supplied in the Value parameter.

The Expires parameter contains an expiration time for the cookie (if provided by the server). The time format used is "Weekday, DD-Mon-YY HH:MM:SS GMT". If the server does not provide an expiration time, the Expires parameter will be an empty string. In this case, the convention is to drop the cookie at the end of the session.

The Domain parameter contains a domain name to limit the cookie to (if provided by the server). If the server does not provide a domain name, the Domain parameter will be an empty string. The convention in this case is to use the server specified in the URL (URLServer) as the cookie domain.

The Path parameter contains a path name to limit the cookie to (if provided by the server). If the server does not provide a cookie path, the Path parameter will be an empty string. The convention in this case is to use the path specified in the URL (URLPath) as the cookie path.

The Secure parameter specifies whether the cookie is secure. If the value of this parameter is True, the cookie value must be submitted only through a secure (HTTPS) connection.

SSLServerAuthentication Event (GISBSender Component)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

public event OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler OnSSLServerAuthentication;

public delegate void OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler(object sender, GisbsenderSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs e);

public class GisbsenderSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs : EventArgs {

Public ReadOnly Property CertEncodedB As Byte() Public ReadOnly Property CertSubject As String Public ReadOnly Property CertIssuer As String Public ReadOnly Property Status As String Public Property Accept As Boolean End Class

Remarks

This event is where the client can decide whether to continue with the connection process or not. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether to continue or not.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string "OK").

SSLStatus Event (GISBSender Component)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

public event OnSSLStatusHandler OnSSLStatus;

To use a security key, the necessary data must first be collected using the CertMgr component. The ListStoreCertificates method may be called after setting CertStoreType to cstPKCS11, CertStorePassword to the PIN, and CertStore to the full path of the PKCS#11 DLL. The certificate information returned in the CertList event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use.

When using a certificate, pass the previously saved security key information as the Store and set StorePassword to the PIN.

Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key: certmgr.CertStoreType = CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11; certmgr.OnCertList += (s, e) => { secKeyBlob = e.CertEncoded; }; certmgr.CertStore = @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll"; certmgr.CertStorePassword = "123456"; //PIN certmgr.ListStoreCertificates(); sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, secKeyBlob, "123456", "*"); sftp.SSHUser = "test"; sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);

Constructors

public Certificate();
Public Certificate()

Creates a Certificate instance whose properties can be set. This is useful for use with CERTMGR when generating new certificates.

public Certificate(string certificateFile);
Public Certificate(ByVal CertificateFile As String)

Opens CertificateFile and reads out the contents as an X.509 public key.

public Certificate(byte[] certificateData);
Public Certificate(ByVal CertificateData As Byte())

Parses CertificateData as an X.509 public key.

public Certificate(CertStoreTypes certStoreType, string store, string storePassword, string subject);
Public Certificate(ByVal CertStoreType As CertStoreTypes, ByVal Store As String, ByVal StorePassword As String, ByVal Subject As String)

CertStoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See StoreType for descriptions of the different certificate stores. Store is a file containing the certificate store. StorePassword is the password used to protect the store. After the store has been successfully opened, the component will attempt to find the certificate identified by Subject . This can be either a complete or a substring match of the X.509 certificate's subject Distinguished Name (DN).

public Certificate(CertStoreTypes certStoreType, string store, string storePassword, string subject, string configurationString);
Public Certificate(ByVal CertStoreType As CertStoreTypes, ByVal Store As String, ByVal StorePassword As String, ByVal Subject As String, ByVal ConfigurationString As String)

CertStoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See StoreType for descriptions of the different certificate stores. Store is a file containing the certificate store. StorePassword is the password used to protect the store. ConfigurationString is a newline separated list of name-value pairs that may be used to modify the default behavior. Possible values include "PersistPFXKey", which shows whether or not the PFX key is persisted after performing operations with the private key. This correlates to the PKCS12_NO_PERSIST_KEY CryptoAPI option. The default value is True (the key is persisted). "Thumbprint" - an MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256 thumbprint of the certificate to load. When specified, this value is used to select the certificate in the store. This is applicable to cstUser, cstMachine, cstPublicKeyFile, and cstPFXFile store types. "UseInternalSecurityAPI" shows whether the platform (default) or the internal security API is used when performing certificate-related operations. After the store has been successfully opened, the component will attempt to find the certificate identified by Subject .

An HTTP cookie can be either sent to or received from the server.

Remarks

An HTTP cookie can store the cookies that are to be sent to the server. It also may store the cookies sent by the server.

Cookies that are to be sent to the server must have the Name and Value fields supplied before submitting the URL. When the SetCookie event is fired, however, all of the fields of an HTTPCookie are filled out accordingly.

Fields

Domain
string (read-only)

Default Value: ""

This is the domain of a received cookie. This field contains a domain name to limit the cookie to (if provided by the server). If the server does not provide a domain name, this field will contain an empty string. The convention in this case is to use the server name specified by URLServer as the cookie domain.

Expiration
string (read-only)

Default Value: ""

This field contains an expiration time for the cookie (if provided by the server). The time format used is "Weekday, DD-Mon-YY HH:MM:SS GMT". If the server does not provide an expiration time, this field will contain an empty string. The convention is to drop the cookie at the end of the session.

Public HTTPCookie(ByVal Name As String, ByVal Value As String)

Proxy Type

The proxy the component will connect to.

Remarks

When connecting through a proxy, this type is used to specify different properties of the proxy, such as the Server and the AuthScheme.

Fields

AuthScheme
ProxyAuthSchemes

Default Value: 0

This field is used to tell the component which type of authorization to perform when connecting to the proxy. This is used only when the User and Password fields are set.

AuthScheme should be set to authNone (3) when no authentication is expected.

By default, AuthScheme is authBasic (0), and if the User and Password fields are set, the component will attempt basic authentication.

If AuthScheme is set to authDigest (1), digest authentication will be attempted instead.

If AuthScheme is set to authProprietary (2), then the authorization token will not be generated by the component. Look at the configuration file for the component being used to find more information about manually setting this token.

If AuthScheme is set to authNtlm (4), NTLM authentication will be used.

For security reasons, setting this field will clear the values of User and Password.

AutoDetect
bool

Default Value: False

This field tells the component whether or not to automatically detect and use proxy system settings, if available. The default value is false.

Password
string

Default Value: ""

This field contains a password if authentication is to be used for the proxy.

If AuthScheme is set to Basic Authentication, the User and Password are Base64 encoded and the proxy authentication token will be generated in the form Basic [encoded-user-password].

If AuthScheme is set to Digest Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to respond to the Digest Authentication challenge from the server.

If AuthScheme is set to NTLM Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to authenticate through NTLM negotiation.

Port
int

Default Value: 80

This field contains the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port for the proxy Server (default 80). See the description of the Server field for details.

Server
string

Default Value: ""

If a proxy Server is given, then the HTTP request is sent to the proxy instead of the server otherwise specified.

If the Server field is set to a domain name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the Server field is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

SSL
ProxySSLTypes

Default Value: 0

This field determines when to use a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for the connection to the proxy. The applicable values are as follows:

psAutomatic (0)Default setting. If the URL is an https URL, the component will use the psTunnel option. If the URL is an http URL, the component will use the psNever option.
psAlways (1)The connection is always SSL enabled.
psNever (2)The connection is not SSL enabled.
psTunnel (3)The connection is made through a tunneling (HTTP) proxy.

User
string

Default Value: ""

This field contains a username if authentication is to be used for the proxy.

If AuthScheme is set to Basic Authentication, the User and Password fields are Base64 encoded and the proxy authentication token will be generated in the form Basic [encoded-user-password].

If AuthScheme is set to Digest Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to respond to the Digest Authentication challenge from the server.

If AuthScheme is set to NTLM Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to authenticate through NTLM negotiation.

Constructors

public Proxy();
Public Proxy()
public Proxy(string server, int port);

Config Settings (GISBSender 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 method.

GISBSender Config Settings

AllowOldPacketType:   Whether to allow the older encrypted packet type.

By default the component 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 component 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 component can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the component.

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:

0 (default)Basic
1Digest
2Proprietary
3None
4NTLM
5Negotiate
6OAuth
By default, AuthScheme is Basic (0), and if the User and Password configuration settings are set, the component will attempt basic authentication. If AuthScheme is set to Digest (1), digest authentication will be attempted instead.

For security reasons, setting this value will clear the values of User and Password.

ForceV3Signature:   Whether to use v3 signatures.

This setting is used to force v3 signatures for compatibility with older PGP implementations (versions 5 through 7).

The default value is False.

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:

0 (None)No events are logged.
1 (Info - default)Informational events are logged.
2 (Verbose)Detailed data is logged.
3 (Debug)Debug data is logged.
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 component 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 component 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.

Base Config Settings

BuildInfo:   Information about the product's build.

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

GUIAvailable:   Whether or not a message loop is available for processing events.

In a GUI-based application, long-running blocking operations may cause the application to stop responding to input until the operation returns. The component will attempt to discover whether or not the application has a message loop and, if one is discovered, it will process events in that message loop during any such blocking operation.

In some non-GUI applications, an invalid message loop may be discovered that will result in errant behavior. In these cases, setting GUIAvailable to false will ensure that the component does not attempt to process external events.

LicenseInfo:   Information about the current license.

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

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

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

This setting only works on these components: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.

UseFIPSCompliantAPI:   Tells the component whether or not to use FIPS certified APIs.

When set to true, the component will utilize the underlying operating system's certified APIs. Java editions, regardless of OS, utilize Bouncy Castle FIPS, while all the other Windows editions make use of Microsoft security libraries.

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

For more details please see the FIPS 140-2 Compliance article.

Note: This setting is only applicable on Windows.

Note: Enabling FIPS-compliance requires a special license; please contact sales@nsoftware.com for details.

UseInternalSecurityAPI:   Whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation.

When set to false, the component will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable. In this case, calls to unmanaged code will be made. In certain environments, this is not desirable. To use a completely managed security implementation, set this setting to true.

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

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

If using the .NET Standard Library, this setting will be true on all platforms. The .NET Standard library does not support using the system security libraries.

Note: This setting is static. The value set is applicable to all components used in the application.

When this value is set, the product's system dynamic link library (DLL) is no longer required as a reference, as all unmanaged code is stored in that file.
