Ntlm Configuration

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.

NTLM Configuration Settings

DecodeToken:   Whether to Base64 encode the token.

This setting specifies whether to Base64 decode the ChallengeToken. The default value is True.

EncodeToken:   Whether to Base64 encode the token.

This setting specifies whether AuthToken and rpChallengeToken are Base64 encoded after calling CreateAuthToken and rmCreateNegotiateToken;. The default value is True.

UsePlatformNTLMAPI:   Whether to use the platform NTLM API.

This setting specifies whether to use the platform NTLM API. The default value is False.

Workstation:   The workstation name.

This setting optionally specifies the workstation name of the client. By default this value is empty and the component will automatically determine the correct value.

Note: This setting is not applicable when UsePlatformNTLMAPI is True. The platform NTLM API will always use the current workstation's name.

Base Configuration Settings

BuildInfo:   Information about the product's build.

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

GUIAvailable:   Tells the component 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).
UseDaemonThreads:   Whether threads created by the component are daemon threads.

If set to True (default), when the component creates a thread the thread's Daemon property will be explicitly set to True. When set to False the component will not set the Daemon property on the created thread. The default value is True.

UseInternalSecurityAPI:   Tells the component whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation.

By default the component will use the system security libraries to perform cryptographic functions. Setting this to True tells the component to use the internal implementation instead of using the system's security API.
