PDF Pipeline Component

Properties   Config Settings  

The PDF pipeline component adds signature and encryption security to PDF processing.

Remarks

The PDF pipeline component may be used to add security features to your PDF generation and processing applications. Supported functions include password-based and certificate-based encryption, certificate-based signing, timestamping, and compression.

PDF Encoder Pipeline Component

If EncryptData is set to True the PDF will be encrypted. The following properties are applicable when encrypting:

When EncryptData is set to True the adapter uses the certificate set in the EncryptionCert properties or the password set in the Password property to encrypt the document. EncryptionType determines whether to use public key encryption (default) or password encryption. For more details on the use of certificates, please see the Notes on Using Certificates section below.

The EncryptionAlgorithm property specifies the algorithm to use when encrypting. The default is 0 (RC4).

Signing Notes

If SignData is set to True the PDF will be signed. The following properties are applicable when signing:

When SignData is set to True the adapter uses the certificate set in the SigningCertificate properties to sign the document. SignatureType determines whether to create a standard document signature (default) or a certification (MDP) signature.

If TimestampServer is set to a valid Timestamp server URL the adapter will attempt to timestamp the signature.

Signature Widget Notes

Information about the signature is displayed in a signature widget within the PDF document. The widget itself may be customized in a variety of ways including the type and values of information displayed, as well as its location within the document. The following properties control the most common signature widget values.

Additional configuration options are available to further customize the signature widget. These may be set via the Other property. See the Configuration section of the documentation for details.

PDF Decoder Pipeline Component

By default, the pipeline will automatically attempt to decrypt encrypted PDF documents. The following properties are applicable when decrypting:

RequireEncryption governs whether an error should be thrown if the PDF is not encrypted. RequirePublicKeyEncryption will throw an error if the document is encrypted with a password or is not encrypted at all. RequireNonEmptyPass will throw an error if the document is encrypted with a public key or not at all. The usage of the remaining properties depends on whether the PDF was encrypted with a certificate/public key, or with a password/string.

Depending on the value of EncryptionType, the adapter will either use the certificate specified in DecryptionCert or the Password to decrypt encrypted PDF documents. For more details on the use of certificates, please see the Notes on Using Certificates section below.

Signature Verification Notes

The pipeline can also verify signed or certified PDF documents. The following properties are applicable when verifying:

SignerCert must be set to the certificate(s) with the public key that is paired with the private key used to sign the document. To load a PKCS11 certificate, SignerCertPKCS11Params should be set instead.

RequireSignature governs whether an error should be thrown if the PDF is not signed. RequireAllSignatures, if set to True, will throw an error if any of the certificates specified in SignerCert were not used to sign the PDF. Set RequireTimestamp to True if the signature must be accompanied by a timestamp.

If ExtractLastSignedVersion is set to True, the pipeline will throw away any elements of the PDF document that were not signed during the most recent signature.

Notes on Using Certificates

The following properties can be used to load a single certificate via a certificate browser:

The certificate browser can load certificates from system stores or from a file on disk.

Alternate Certificates and Using Multiple Certificates

Certificates can also be loaded via the following set of configuration options:

These settings mirror the syntax from previous versions of the PDF components, BizCrypto, so users familiar with this syntax may prefer this approach over the certificate browser. If the certificate is stored directly as string/byte data rather than in a file or a system store, these settings must be used to load the certificate.

Additionally, these settings should be used if more than one certificate needs to be loaded to perform a single operation.

For example, if multiple certificates should be used to sign a PDF, only one of these can be specified as the SigningCert. The remaining certificates should be loaded using the AltCert* options listed above.

PKCS11 Certificates

Certificates in PKCS11 format (hardware tokens) should be loaded via the following properties:

PCKS11 Certificates are specified via the following list of parameters, in name=value syntax:

dllpathPath to PKCS11 driver DLL (required)Example:

This property is not available in the Disassembler/Decoder.

SigningCertPKCS11Params Property (PDF Pipeline component)

The PKCS11 certificate that will be used to sign or certify the PDF.

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

If a certificate should be set as a SigningCert and is in PKCS11 format, this property should be set instead of SigningCert.

PCKS11 Certificates are specified via the following list of parameters, in name=value syntax:

dllpathPath to PKCS11 driver DLL (required)Example:

DllPath="C:\Program Files\Token\cp11.dll"

slotSlot number. If not specified, the first slot with the inserted token is considered.Example:

Slot="5"

keyidThe value of the subject key identifier extension of the certificate in base16 format.Example:

keyid="112233445566"

This property is not available in the Disassembler/Decoder.

TempPath Property (PDF Pipeline component)

A temporary directory where data can be stored before the component processes it.

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property indicates a temporary directory where the adapter can store any data before the adapter processes it. If TempPath is empty, the adapter will receive all data to memory. If set, the adapter will generate and write all inbound data to a temporary file in the specified directory.

Once the file is submitted, the adapter will handle closing the file stream and deleting the temporary file. However, if the adapter is shut down during a transfer some temporary files may be left in the directory. To ensure optimal performance, server administrators should check the directory regularly and remove old or extraneous files.

This property accepts the "%TEMP%" macro, which will be replaced with the default system temporary directory at runtime. Note: by default, this property is empty and the adapter will use memory streams to store all inbound data before submitting it. It is recommended that you use a temporary directory when downloading large batches or batches containing large files to alleviate potential increased memory requirements.

TimestampServer Property (PDF Pipeline component)

The URL of the timestamp server.

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property optionally specifies the URL of the timestamp server. When SignData is set to True the adapter will attempt to timestamp the signature using the timestamp server URL provided here.

If no value is specified the signature is not timestamped.

This property is not available in the Disassembler/Decoder.

TransportLog Property (PDF Pipeline component)

Tells the component where and how to report information about its operations.

Data Type

Log

Remarks

This is a Log type property which contains fields describing how and where the adapter will record information about its execution.

This property may be configured on the adapter's static handler property page in the BizTalk Server administration console.

TrustAllCertificates Property (PDF Pipeline component)

Specifies whether Certificate validation should automatically succeed.

Data Type

Boolean

Default Value

true

Remarks

If true, the adapter will not attempt to validate certificate chains. If false, certificates must be a part of a trusted chain specified by TrustedCert and KnownCert.

This property is not available in the Assembler/Encoder.

TrustedCert Property (PDF Pipeline component)

Specifies a Certificate that can be used to validate the trust of other certificates.

Data Type

Certificate

Remarks

This setting is only relevant if TrustAllCertificates is set to False.

During signature verification, the adapter will attempt to validate the trust of the SignerCert. To succeed, the Certificate must be trusted directly or the root of the Certificate chain must be a trusted Certificate. Any intermediate Certificates between the trusted Certificate and the signer's Certificate must be included as a KnownCert.

In general, only root certificates received via a trusted channel should be set as a TrustedCert. Certificates that are not root or are less secure should be specified as a KnownCert to avoid affecting system security.

To include multiple unique Certificates as trusted Certificates, the following configuration options should be used:

TrustedCertPKCS11Params Property (PDF Pipeline component)

Specifies a PKCS11 Certificate that can be used to validate the trust of other certificates.

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

If a Certificate should be specified as a TrustedCert and is in PKCS11 format, this property should be set instead of TrustedCert. Please see the TrustedCert page for details on when Certificates should be specified as trusted.

PCKS11 Certificates are specified via the following list of parameters, in name=value syntax:

If the certificate store is of a type that requires a password, this property is used to specify that password in order to open the certificate store.

StoreType
CertStoreTypes

Default Value: 0

The type of certificate store for this certificate.

The adapter supports both public and private keys in a variety of formats. When the cstAuto value is used, the adapter will automatically determine the type. This field can take one of the following values:

0 (cstUser - default)For Windows, this specifies that the certificate store is a certificate store owned by the current user.

Note: This store type is not available in Java.

1 (cstMachine)For Windows, this specifies that the certificate store is a machine store.

Note: This store type is not available in Java.

2 (cstPFXFile)The certificate store is the name of a PFX (PKCS#12) file containing certificates.
3 (cstPFXBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in PFX (PKCS#12) format.
4 (cstJKSFile)The certificate store is the name of a Java Key Store (JKS) file containing certificates.

Note: This store type is only available in Java.

Note: This store type is only available in Java and .NET.

23 (cstPKCS11)The certificate is present on a physical security key accessible via a PKCS#11 interface.

To use a security key, the necessary data must first be collected using the CERTMGR adapter. 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);

99 (cstAuto)The store type is automatically detected from the input data. This setting may be used with both public and private keys and can detect any of the supported formats automatically.

Subject
String

Default Value: ""

The subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store certificate with matching subject.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

When setting the property to a partial subject, CN= should be omitted. For example, the following code would find the certificate with subject CN=Test Certificate, OU=People, C=US

Example (Searching with partial subject)

Control.CertSubject = "Test"

If a match is not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.

If a matching certificate is found, Subject is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.

Thumbprint
String (read-only)

Default Value: ""

The thumbprint of the certificate.

This field is used to specify the thumbprint of the certificate. When there are multiple certificates in the store that have the same subject, the thumbprint will be used to distinguish between them.

public OAuthAuthorizationParam();

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

Use the AuthScheme field to tell the adapter which type of authorization to perform when connecting to the proxy. This is only used 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 adapter. Look at the configuration file for the adapter being used to find more information about manually setting this token.

If AuthScheme is set to authNtlm (4), NTLM authentication will be used. This option is only available in the SSL package.

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

AutoDetect

Tells the adapter whether or not to automatically detect and use proxy system settings, if available.

Password
String

Default Value: ""

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
Integer

Default Value: 80

The 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 and 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

Determines when to use SSL for the connection to the proxy. The applicable values are the following:

psAutomatic (0)Default setting. The connection to the Server is SSL-enabled for 'https' URL-s, and non SSL-enabled for other URL-s.
psAlways (1)The connection is always SSL-enabled.
psNever (2)The connection is not SSL-enabled.
psTunnel (3)The connection is through a tunneling (HTTP) proxy.

User
String

Default Value: ""

A user name, 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.

Constructors

Constructors are only relevant when configuring adapters in orchestrations.

public Proxy();
public Proxy(string server, int port);
public Proxy(string server, int port, string user, string password);

Config Settings (PDF Pipeline component)

The adapter 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 adapter, access to these internal properties is provided through the Other property.

PDF Config Settings

AlgorithmInfo:   The displayed algorithm info in the signature widget.

This setting specifies information about algorithm to be displayed in the signature widget.

This setting is only applicable when AutoText; is False. When AutoText; is True (default) the value is automatically determined based on the information in the certificate. For instance RSA/1024 bits.

When AutoText; is False this may be set to a string value in the format "Algorithm/KeySize".

AllowComments:   Whether the recipient may add comments.

This setting specifies whether comments may be added by recipients. If set to True the recipient of the signed PDF may still add comments. The default is False.

AllowFillInForms:   Whether the recipient may fill in forms.

This setting specifies whether forms may be filled in by recipients. If set to True the recipient of the signed PDF may still fill in forms. The default is False.

AltCertPassword[index]:   Specifies the password for an alternate Certificate.

This setting is used in conjunction with AltCertSource[index], AltCertStore[index], and AltCertType[index] to load certificates in addition to (or instead of) the *Cert properties of the adapter.

AltCertPassword[index] specifies the password for the certificate at the given index, and is only required if the certificate is password-protected.

AltCertSource[index]:   Specifies the format from which an alternate Certificate should be loaded.

This setting is used in conjunction with AltCertType[index], AltCertStore[index], and AltCertPassword[index] to load certificates in addition to (or instead of) the *Cert properties of the adapter.

AltCertSource[index] specifies the current format of the certificate at the given index.

The possible formats are:

0 (File)The certificate is stored in a file
1 (Value)The raw certificate data is specified directly
2 (System)The certificate is held in a system store

AltCertStore[index]:   Specifies the store from which to load an alternate Certificate.

This setting is used in conjunction with AltCertSource[index], AltCertPassword[index], and AltCertType[index] to load certificates in addition to (or instead of) the *Cert properties of the adapter.

AltCertStore Notes

The AltCertStore[index] setting may be set to the path to a certificate file on disk, or may be a comma separated list of values used to identify the certificate location. The following are the parameters that may be used in the comma separated list:

issuer Specifies the issuer subject.issuer="/CN=John Johnson/O=Big Company, Inc/E=Johnson@b.com"
subjectThe certificate subject.subject="/CN=John Johnson/O=Big Company, Inc/E=Johnson@b.com"

  • CurrentService
  • CurrentUser
  • CurrentUserGroupPolicy
  • LocalMachine (default)
  • LocalMachineEnterprise
  • LocalMachineGroupPolicy
  • Services
  • Users

AccessType="CurrentUser"
AltCertType[index]:   Specifies how an alternate Certificate should be used.

This setting is used in conjunction with AltCertSource[index], AltCertStore[index], and AltCertPassword[index] to load certificates in addition to (or instead of) the *Cert properties of the adapter.

AltCertType[index] identifies the role/function of the certificate at the given index.

The possible roles are:

0 (Encryption)Used by the PDF encoder to encrypt a PDF
1 (Signing)Used by the PDF encoder to sign/certify a PDF
2 (Decryption)Used by the PDF decoder to decrypt a PDF
3 (Known)Used to validate the trust of signer certificates*
4 (Signer)Used by the PDF decoder to verify a signed/certified PDF
5 (Trusted)Used to validate the trust of signer certificates*

*Note: please see the KnownCert and TrustedCert properties for details on when a certificate should be in the Trusted role versus Known.

For example, if two certificates are required to sign a PDF, the first can be specified via SigningCert and the second should be specified under the Other property like this:

AltCertSource[0]=2

AltCertStore[0]="Store=MY, subject=/CN=Administrator, accessType=CurrentUser"

AltCertPassword[0]="test"

AltCertType[0]=1

A third certificate can be specified via AltCert*[1], and so on. It is also acceptable to specify all certificates via the AltCert* configuration options and ignore the *Cert properties (such as SignerCert).
