The OpenID class is used to verify the identify of a user as well as get basic profile information.

Syntax

OpenID

Remarks

The OpenID class implements an OpenID Connect (OIDC) Relying Party (RP) capable of authenticating a user and retrieving user information. OIDC is a simple identity layer on top of OAuth 2.0 and re-uses much of the functionality and concepts defined by OAuth 2.0.

To begin using the class you will first need to register your application with the service you want to use. During this process you should obtain a ClientId and ClientSecret. The following sections discuss the typical steps to verify the identify of a user and obtain profile information.

Get the Discovery Document

Many OpenID Providers (OPs) provide information via a Discovery Document. The Discovery Document defines information such as the endpoint URLs for authentication, tokens, and user information requests. In addition details about the allowed parameters such as supported authorization scopes are defined in this document. The document at a URL which can be fetched and parsed by calling the GetDiscoveryDoc method.

The discovery document URL is typically published by an OpenID Provider (OP) and must be known before calling this method. The format of the URL is standardized and typically takes the form:

https://www.youropenidserver.com/.well-known/openid-configuration

Call GetDiscoveryDoc before calling GetAuthorization to populate the class properties with information required to complete the authorization. The retrieved information includes endpoint URLs as well as the OpenID public certificates used to verify the signature on the ID token. After calling this method the following properties are populated:

The above values may be stored, and later populated from the stored values, to avoid the requirement of calling GetDiscoveryDoc on subsequent authorization requests.

The following discovery document fields are populated after GetDiscoveryDoc returns:

To access values not automatically parsed by the class the XPath configuration setting may be set to retrieve a specific value. Alternatively the RawJSON setting returns the entire JSON document which may be parsed separately.

Note: Calling GetDiscoveryDoc is not mandatory. If server information was stored from a previous call or is otherwise known ahead of time the following properties may be set in place of calling GetDiscoveryDoc:

Examples of the above points: openid.GetDiscoveryDoc("https://accounts.google.com/.well-known/openid-configuration"); // ... or ... openid.ServerAuthURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth"; openid.ServerTokenURL = "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token"; openid.ServerUserInfoURL = "https://openidconnect.googleapis.com/v1/userinfo"; openid.SignerCertURL = "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/certs"; // ... or ... string rawjson = openid.Config("RawJSON");

Get Authorization

Before calling GetAuthorization the class may be configured for one of several flows defined by the GrantType property. These flows determine which information is returned by the authorization server and which information (if any) is returned by the token server.

Possible values for GrantType are:

  • 0 (Authorization Code - Default)
  • 1 (Implicit)
  • 2 (Hybrid)

When using 0 (Authorization Code Flow - Default) an authorization code is returned from the ServerAuthURL and the class automatically contacts the ServerTokenURL exchanges the authorization code for an ID token and access token.

When using 1 (Implicit Flow) the ServerAuthURL returns an ID token and access token directly. This is only recommended for implementations that are in-browser as this potentially exposes the tokens to the end-user and user agent itself.

When using 2 (Hybrid Flow) an authorization code and potentially one or more tokens are returned by the ServerAuthURL. The class will automatically contact the ServerTokenURL to exchange the authorization code for an ID token and access token.

When GrantType and any other optional settings are set as desired, call GetAuthorization.

GetAuthorization performs several operations automatically depending on the value of ClientProfile. Please see the introduction section for the OpenID class for a detailed overview of the typical scenarios.

After authorization is complete UserDetails will be populated with the claims parsed from the ID token. This method also returns an authorization string. The authorization string grants access to additional resources as requested via the AuthorizationScope property. If access to another resource was requested the access token returned here may be set in the Authorization property of any other class (or passed as the value of the HTTP Authorization header).

GetUserInfo may be called after calling this method.

The following properties are applicable when calling this method:

For the default Authorization Code flow GetAuthorization could work like this: openid.ClientId = "client id"; openid.ClientSecret = "client secret"; openid.AuthorizationScope += " profile email"; // default value is 'openid' openid.State = "application state"; string authToken = openid.GetAuthorization();

Get User Info

When GetAuthorization returns the UserDetails property is populated with information about the user as returned in the ID token from the authorization server. An additional operation, GetUserInfo may optionally be called to query the ServerUserInfoURL for information about the user.

Before calling GetUserInfo method a successful call to GetAuthorization must be made. The access token returned by GetAuthorization is used by the OpenID provider at ServerUserInfoURL to identify the user for which claims are being retrieved.

When this method is called the class requests the claims about the user from the ServerUserInfoURL. The resulting claims are available in the UserDetail* properties.

Note: The GetUserInfo method will populate the UserDetail* properties with the claims returned in the ID token during the authorization process. This method may not need to be called in order to access the desired claims about the user.

openid.GetUserInfo(); // ... use the user info in the remainder of your application ...

Client Profile Notes

The ClientProfile defines the environment in which the class is being used, and controls how the class behaves in order to best suit that environment. Choose the profile that is closest to the runtime environment.

The following client types are currently supported by the class:

  • Application (desktop application)
  • WebServer (server side application such as a web site)
  • Device (an application without browser access such as a game console)
  • Mobile (phone or tablet application)
  • Browser (javascript application)
  • JWT (server to server authentication using a JWT bearer token such as Google service account authentication)

Application Profile

The Application profile is applicable to applications that are run directly by the user. For instance, a Windows form application would use the Application profile. To authorize your application (client) using the Application profile, use the following steps:

First, set ClientProfile to ocpApplication. This defines the profile the class will use. Set the ClientId, ClientSecret, ServerAuthURL, and ServerTokenURL to the values you obtained when registering your application.

Second, call GetAuthorization to begin the authorization process. When GetAuthorization is called, the class will build the URL to which the user will be directed and fire the LaunchBrowser event. The class will then launch the browser using the command and URL shown in the LaunchBrowser event and await the response. The duration for which the class will wait for a response is defined by BrowserResponseTimeout.

Third, the user will interact with the browser to authenticate and grant access to the connecting application. The user will then be redirected back to an embedded web server that was automatically started when GetAuthorization was called. At this time, the ReturnURL event will fire. This event provides an opportunity to provide a custom response to your user that they will see in their browser.

Fourth, the class will then automatically exchange the grant that was returned by the authorization server for the access token using the HTTP endpoint specified in ServerTokenURL.

The authorization is now complete and the GetAuthorization method will return the authorization string. The authorization string can then be used with any of our components by simply setting the returned value to the authorization property before making a request.

The following is a simple example: component.ClientId = "CLIENT_ID"; component.ClientSecret = "CLIENT_ID"; component.ServerAuthURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth"; component.ServerTokenURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token"; HTTP.Authorization = component.GetAuthorization(); HTTP.Get("https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo");

Web Profile

The Web profile is applicable to applications that are run on the server side when the user uses the application from a web browser. To authorize your application (client) using this profile, use the following steps:

First, set ClientProfile to ocpWeb. This defines the profile the component will use. Set the ClientId, ClientSecret, ServerAuthURL, and ServerTokenURL to the values you obtained when registering your application. Set ReturnURL to the page on your site that will be the endpoint the user is redirected back to after authentication.

Second, call GetAuthorizationURL. This will return a URL to which the user should be redirected. Redirect the user to this URL.

Third, after the user authenticates and is returned to the page on your site specified by ReturnURL, parse the "code" query string parameter from the incoming request to get the authorization code from the authorization server. Then, set AuthorizationCode property to the parsed value.

Fourth, after AuthorizationCode is set, call GetAuthorization to exchange the code specified in AuthorizationCode for a token from the server specified by ServerTokenURL. GetAuthorization will then return the authorization string. The authorization string can be used with any of our components by simply setting the returned value to the authorization property before making a request.

For additional details for less common profile types please see ClientProfile.

AccessToken Property (OpenID Class)

This property includes the access token returned by the authorization server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetAccessToken();
int SetAccessToken(const char* lpszAccessToken); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetAccessToken();
INT SetAccessToken(LPCWSTR lpszAccessToken);
char* ipworksauth_openid_getaccesstoken(void* lpObj);
int ipworksauth_openid_setaccesstoken(void* lpObj, const char* lpszAccessToken);
QString GetAccessToken();
int SetAccessToken(QString qsAccessToken);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property will be populated with the access token returned by the authorization server after a call to GetAuthorization. This will be the raw access token, whereas the return value from the GetAuthorization method will also include the required data so that it can be passed directly to the Authorization property of other components or added as the value of the authorization header in another client implementation.

Data Type

String

AccessTokenExp Property (OpenID Class)

This property includes the lifetime of the access token.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetAccessTokenExp();

Unicode (Windows)
INT GetAccessTokenExp();
int ipworksauth_openid_getaccesstokenexp(void* lpObj);
int GetAccessTokenExp();

Default Value

0

Remarks

This setting holds the lifetime of the access token in seconds. For instance the value 3600 indicates that the token will expire in one hour from the time it was generated.

This property is read-only.

Data Type

Integer

AuthorizationCode Property (OpenID Class)

This property includes the authorization code that is exchanged for an access token.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetAuthorizationCode();
int SetAuthorizationCode(const char* lpszAuthorizationCode); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetAuthorizationCode();
INT SetAuthorizationCode(LPCWSTR lpszAuthorizationCode);
char* ipworksauth_openid_getauthorizationcode(void* lpObj);
int ipworksauth_openid_setauthorizationcode(void* lpObj, const char* lpszAuthorizationCode);
QString GetAuthorizationCode();
int SetAuthorizationCode(QString qsAuthorizationCode);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property is used with the AuthorizationCode GrantType. When ClientProfile is set to ocpApplication (Application flow), this property will be informational only, as the GetAuthorization method will automatically exchange this code for a token with the authorization server specified in ServerTokenURL.

When ClientProfile is set to ocpWeb (Web flow), this property needs to be set to the authorization code returned from the authorization server. Typically, this value is parsed when the service redirects the user back to your website. See ClientProfile for more information.

If this property is set before calling GetAuthorization, the class will not make a request to the authorization sever and instead will attempt to exchange the code with the authorization server for an access token.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

AuthorizationScope Property (OpenID Class)

The authorization scope used during authorization.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetAuthorizationScope();
int SetAuthorizationScope(const char* lpszAuthorizationScope); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetAuthorizationScope();

ClientProfile Property (OpenID Class)

This property includes the type of client that is requesting authorization.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetClientProfile();
int SetClientProfile(int iClientProfile); Unicode (Windows) INT GetClientProfile();
INT SetClientProfile(INT iClientProfile);

Possible Values

OCP_APPLICATION(0), 
OCP_WEB(1),
OCP_DEVICE(2),
OCP_MOBILE(3),
OCP_JWT(4)
int ipworksauth_openid_getclientprofile(void* lpObj);
int ipworksauth_openid_setclientprofile(void* lpObj, int iClientProfile);
int GetClientProfile();
int SetClientProfile(int iClientProfile);

Default Value

0

Remarks

This defines the type of client that will be requesting authorization. Set this before calling GetAuthorization to inform the class to act accordingly. Possible values are as follows:

0 (ocpApplication - default) User application, such as a Windows form application
1 (ocpWeb) Server-side application, such as a website
2 (ocpDevice) Device application without a browser, such as a game console
3 (ocpMobile) Mobile application with browser support, such as a smart phone or tablet
4 (ocpBrowser) Client-side browser application, such as JavaScript
5 (ocpJWT) Server-to-Server authentication using a JWT Bearer Token

Application Profile

The Application profile is applicable to applications that are run directly by the user. For instance, a Windows form application would use the Application profile. To authorize your application (client) using the Application profile, use the following steps:

First, set ClientProfile to ocpApplication. This defines the profile the class will use. Set the ClientId, ClientSecret, ServerAuthURL, and ServerTokenURL to the values you obtained when registering your application.

Second, call GetAuthorization to begin the authorization process. When GetAuthorization is called, the class will build the URL to which the user will be directed and fire the LaunchBrowser event. The class will then launch the browser using the command and URL shown in the LaunchBrowser event and await the response. The duration for which the class will wait for a response is defined by BrowserResponseTimeout.

Third, the user will interact with the browser to authenticate and grant access to the connecting application. The user will then be redirected back to an embedded web server that was automatically started when GetAuthorization was called. At this time, the ReturnURL event will fire. This event provides an opportunity to provide a custom response to your user that they will see in their browser.

Fourth, the class will then automatically exchange the grant that was returned by the authorization server for the access token using the HTTP endpoint specified in ServerTokenURL.

The authorization is now complete and the GetAuthorization method will return the authorization string. The authorization string can then be used with any of our components by simply setting the returned value to the authorization property before making a request.

The following is a simple example: component.ClientId = "CLIENT_ID"; component.ClientSecret = "CLIENT_ID"; component.ServerAuthURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth"; component.ServerTokenURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token"; HTTP.Authorization = component.GetAuthorization(); HTTP.Get("https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo");

Web Profile

The Web profile is applicable to applications that are run on the server side when the user uses the application from a web browser. To authorize your application (client) using this profile, use the following steps:

First, set ClientProfile to ocpWeb. This defines the profile the component will use. Set the ClientId, ClientSecret, ServerAuthURL, and ServerTokenURL to the values you obtained when registering your application. Set ReturnURL to the page on your site that will be the endpoint the user is redirected back to after authentication.

Second, call GetAuthorizationURL. This will return a URL to which the user should be redirected. Redirect the user to this URL.

Third, after the user authenticates and is returned to the page on your site specified by ReturnURL, parse the "code" query string parameter from the incoming request to get the authorization code from the authorization server. Then, set AuthorizationCode property to the parsed value.

Fourth, after AuthorizationCode is set, call GetAuthorization to exchange the code specified in AuthorizationCode for a token from the server specified by ServerTokenURL. GetAuthorization will then return the authorization string. The authorization string can be used with any of our components by simply setting the returned value to the authorization property before making a request.

Device Profile

The Device profile is applicable to applications that are run on devices for which a web browser cannot be used. For example, a game console would use the Device profile. To authorize your application (client) using the device client profile use the following steps:

First, set ClientProfile to ocpDevice. This defines the profile the class will use. Set the ClientId, ClientSecret, ServerAuthURL, and ServerTokenURL to the values you obtained when registering your application. Do not set ReturnURL.

Second, call GetAuthorizationURL. The class will automatically make a request to ServerAuthURL to obtain a user code for the device. The GetAuthorizationURL method will return the URL your user must visit from another device or computer that has web browser support. The GetAuthorizationURL method will also populate DeviceUserCode. This device user code must be provided to the user. The user will enter the code at the URL returned by GetAuthorizationURL.

Third, at this time, call GetAuthorization. The class will begin polling the server specified in ServerTokenURL. The polling interval is specified (in seconds) by the PollingInterval setting.

Fourth, after the user has authenticated, the GetAuthorization method will return the authorization string. To use the authorization string with any of our components, simply pass this value to the authorization property before making the request.

Mobile Profile

The Mobile profile is applicable to applications that are run on devices for which a web browser can be used. For instance, a mobile phone or tablet would use the Mobile profile. The behavior when using this profile is very similar to the Application profile. The only difference between the Mobile and Application profiles is the way the browser is launched. When set to the Mobile profile, the LaunchBrowser event will fire but the class will not attempt to launch the browser automatically. The browser must be launched manually from code. This behavior is the only difference between the Mobile and Application profiles. Please read the steps for the Application profile for a more detailed look at the process.

JWT Bearer Token (Server-to-Server) Profile

The JWT (JSON Web Token) Bearer Token profile is available for server-to-server authentication. For instance this may be used by web applications to access a Google service. In this case, the application will access data on behalf of the service account, not the end user. End-user interaction is not required.

First, specify AuthorizationScope ServerTokenURL and JWTServiceProvider.

Second, specify JWT-specific values. The use of the JWT profile also requires additional configuration settings to be specified, including a certificate with private key used to sign the JWT. Either specify the JWTJSONKey configuration setting, which will parse the necessary information automatically, or manually specify the following configuration settings:

Additional fields may be added to the JWT using the AddParam method.

Example 1. Google: oauth.AuthorizationScope = "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics"; oauth.ServerTokenURL = "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/token"; oauth.ClientProfile = OauthClientProfiles.ocpJWT; oauth.Config("JWTServiceProvider=0"); oauth.Config("JWTIssuer=CLIENT_ID"); oauth.Config("JWTAudience=https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/token"); oauth.Config("JWTCertStoreType=2"); oauth.Config("JWTCertStore=C:\\MyCertificate.p12"); oauth.Config("JWTCertStorePassword=password"); oauth.Config("JWTCertSubject=*"); oauth.Config("JWTValidityTime=5400"); //in seconds string authStr = oauth.GetAuthorization();

Example 2. Microsoft: oauth.ClientId = "Client_Id"; oauth.ClientProfile = OauthClientProfiles.ocpJWT; oauth.AuthorizationScope = "https://graph.microsoft.com/.default"; oauth.ServerTokenURL = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/" + tenant_id + "/oauth2/V2.0/token"; oauth.Config("JWTServiceProvider=1"); oauth.Config("JWTIssuer=" + CLIENT_ID); oauth.Config("JWTSubject=" + CLIENT_ID); oauth.Config("JWTCertStoreType=2"); oauth.Config("JWTCertStore=C:\\MyCertificate.p12"); oauth.Config("JWTCertStorePassword=password"); oauth.Config("JWTCertSubject=*"); oauth.Config("JWTValidityTime=3600"); oauth.Config("JWTAudience=https://login.microsoftonline.com/"+ tenant_id + "/oauth2/V2.0/token"); string authStr = oauth.GetAuthorization();

FR_ALWAYS(1),
FR_SAME_SCHEME(2)
int ipworksauth_openid_getfollowredirects(void* lpObj);
int ipworksauth_openid_setfollowredirects(void* lpObj, int iFollowRedirects);
int GetFollowRedirects();
int SetFollowRedirects(int iFollowRedirects);

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property determines what happens when the server issues a redirect. Normally, the class returns an error if the server responds with an "Object Moved" message. If this property is set to frAlways (1), the new URL for the object is retrieved automatically every time.

If this property is set to frSameScheme (2), the new URL is retrieved automatically only if the URLScheme is the same; otherwise, the class fails with an error.

Note: Following the HTTP specification, unless this property is set to frAlways (1), automatic redirects will be performed only for GET or HEAD requests. Other methods potentially could change the conditions of the initial request and create security vulnerabilities.

Furthermore, if either the new URL server or port are different from the existing one, User and Password are also reset to empty. If, however, this property is set to frAlways (1), the same credentials are used to connect to the new server.

A Redirect event is fired for every URL the product is redirected to. In the case of automatic redirections, the Redirect event is a good place to set properties related to the new connection (e.g., new authentication parameters).

The default value is frNever (0). In this case, redirects are never followed, and the class fails with an error instead.

Data Type

Integer

GrantType Property (OpenID Class)

The grant type defining the authentication flow.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetGrantType();
int SetGrantType(int iGrantType); Unicode (Windows) INT GetGrantType();
INT SetGrantType(INT iGrantType);

Possible Values

OGT_AUTHORIZATION_CODE(0), 
OGT_IMPLICIT(1),
OGT_HYBRID(2)
int ipworksauth_openid_getgranttype(void* lpObj);
int ipworksauth_openid_setgranttype(void* lpObj, int iGrantType);
int GetGrantType();
int SetGrantType(int iGrantType);

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property defines the grant type used when performing authentication. The value specified here controls the authentication flow.

Possible values for GrantType are:

  • 0 (Authorization Code - Default)
  • 1 (Implicit)
  • 2 (Hybrid)

When using 0 (Authorization Code Flow - Default) an authorization code is returned from the ServerAuthURL and the class automatically contacts the ServerTokenURL exchanges the authorization code for an ID token and access token.

When using 1 (Implicit Flow) the ServerAuthURL returns an ID token and access token directly. This is only recommended for implementations that are in-browser as this potentially exposes the tokens to the end-user and user agent itself.

When using 2 (Hybrid Flow) an authorization code and potentially one or more tokens are returned by the ServerAuthURL. The class will automatically contact the ServerTokenURL to exchange the authorization code for an ID token and access token.

Additional Notes

The response_type request parameter is automatically set based on the value specified here. In some cases multiple values are acceptable and a default value is chosen automatically. To explicitly specify a response_type value for the chosen grant type set ResponseType after setting this property.

Data Type

Integer

Idle Property (OpenID Class)

The current status of the class.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetIdle();

Unicode (Windows)
BOOL GetIdle();
int ipworksauth_openid_getidle(void* lpObj);

int ipworksauth_openid_setlocalhost(void* lpObj, const char* lpszLocalHost);
QString GetLocalHost();
int SetLocalHost(QString qsLocalHost);

Default Value

""

Remarks

The LocalHost property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface.

If the class is connected, the LocalHost property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

NOTE: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property is used to tell the class which type of authorization to perform when connecting to the proxy. This is used only when the ProxyUser and ProxyPassword properties are set.

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

By default, ProxyAuthScheme is authBasic (0), and if the ProxyUser and ProxyPassword properties are set, the component will attempt basic authentication.

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

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

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

For security reasons, setting this property will clear the values of ProxyUser and ProxyPassword.

Default Value

0

Remarks

This is the type of certificate store for this certificate.

The class supports both public and private keys in a variety of formats. When the cstAuto value is used the class will automatically determine the type. This property 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 (PKCS12) file containing certificates.
3 (cstPFXBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in PFX (PKCS12) 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.
5 (cstJKSBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in Java Key Store (JKS) format. Note: this store type is only available in Java.
6 (cstPEMKeyFile)The certificate store is the name of a PEM-encoded file that contains a private key and an optional certificate.
7 (cstPEMKeyBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or base64-encoded) that contains a private key and an optional certificate.
8 (cstPublicKeyFile)The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a PEM- or DER-encoded public key certificate.
9 (cstPublicKeyBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or base64-encoded) that contains a PEM- or DER-encoded public key certificate.
10 (cstSSHPublicKeyBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or base64-encoded) that contains an SSH-style public key.
11 (cstP7BFile)The certificate store is the name of a PKCS7 file containing certificates.
12 (cstP7BBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary) representing a certificate store in PKCS7 format.
13 (cstSSHPublicKeyFile)The certificate store is the name of a file that contains an SSH-style public key.
14 (cstPPKFile)The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a PPK (PuTTY Private Key).
15 (cstPPKBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary) that contains a PPK (PuTTY Private Key).
16 (cstXMLFile)The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a certificate in XML format.

22 (cstBCFKSBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in BCFKS (Bouncy Castle FIPS Key Store) format. 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 PKCS11 interface.

To use a security key the necessary data must first be collected using the CertMgr class. The ListStoreCertificates method may be called after setting CertStoreType to cstPKCS11, CertStorePassword to the PIN, and CertStore to the full path of the PKCS11 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 SignerCertStore and set SignerCertStorePassword to the PIN.

23 (cstPKCS11)The certificate is present on a physical security key accessible via a PKCS11 interface.

To use a security key the necessary data must first be collected using the CertMgr class. The ListStoreCertificates method may be called after setting CertStoreType to cstPKCS11, CertStorePassword to the PIN, and CertStore to the full path of the PKCS11 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 SSLCertStore and set SSLCertStorePassword 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);

int ipworksauth_openid_getsslprovider(void* lpObj);
int ipworksauth_openid_setsslprovider(void* lpObj, int iSSLProvider);
int GetSSLProvider();
int SetSSLProvider(int iSSLProvider);

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 class 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 class will select a provider depending on the current platform.

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

Data Type

INT SetState(LPCWSTR lpszState);
char* ipworksauth_openid_getstate(void* lpObj);
int ipworksauth_openid_setstate(void* lpObj, const char* lpszState);
QString GetState();
int SetState(QString qsState);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property optionally holds a string value which will be returned by the authorization server with the response.

Any value may be specified here and it will be returned exactly as it was sent. This can be used to maintain state within the application, and also may be used for security purposes (for instance to prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery). The contents of this property are treated as an opaque value.

When ClientProfile is set to ocpApplication the ReturnURL event provides the state value returned by the authorization server.

Data Type

int ipworksauth_openid_settimeout(void* lpObj, int iTimeout);
int GetTimeout();
int SetTimeout(int iTimeout);

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 class will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.

The class 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 class fails with an error.

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.

Data Type

Integer

Default Value

0

Remarks

This is the type of certificate store for this certificate.

The class supports both public and private keys in a variety of formats. When the cstAuto value is used the class will automatically determine the type. This property 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 (PKCS12) file containing certificates.
3 (cstPFXBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in PFX (PKCS12) 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.
5 (cstJKSBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in Java Key Store (JKS) format. Note: this store type is only available in Java.
6 (cstPEMKeyFile)The certificate store is the name of a PEM-encoded file that contains a private key and an optional certificate.
7 (cstPEMKeyBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or base64-encoded) that contains a private key and an optional certificate.
8 (cstPublicKeyFile)The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a PEM- or DER-encoded public key certificate.
9 (cstPublicKeyBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or base64-encoded) that contains a PEM- or DER-encoded public key certificate.
10 (cstSSHPublicKeyBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or base64-encoded) that contains an SSH-style public key.
11 (cstP7BFile)The certificate store is the name of a PKCS7 file containing certificates.
12 (cstP7BBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary) representing a certificate store in PKCS7 format.
13 (cstSSHPublicKeyFile)The certificate store is the name of a file that contains an SSH-style public key.
14 (cstPPKFile)The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a PPK (PuTTY Private Key).
15 (cstPPKBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary) that contains a PPK (PuTTY Private Key).
16 (cstXMLFile)The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a certificate in XML format.
17 (cstXMLBlob)The certificate store is a string that contains a certificate in XML format.
18 (cstJWKFile)The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a JWK (JSON Web Key).
19 (cstJWKBlob)The certificate store is a string that contains a JWK (JSON Web Key).

22 (cstBCFKSBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in BCFKS (Bouncy Castle FIPS Key Store) format. 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 PKCS11 interface.

To use a security key the necessary data must first be collected using the CertMgr class. The ListStoreCertificates method may be called after setting CertStoreType to cstPKCS11, CertStorePassword to the PIN, and CertStore to the full path of the PKCS11 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 WebServerSSLCertStore and set WebServerSSLCertStorePassword 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.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int AddCookie(const char* lpszCookieName, const char* lpszCookieValue);

Unicode (Windows)
INT AddCookie(LPCWSTR lpszCookieName, LPCWSTR lpszCookieValue);
int ipworksauth_openid_addcookie(void* lpObj, const char* lpszCookieName, const char* lpszCookieValue);
int AddCookie(const QString& qsCookieName, const QString& qsCookieValue);

Remarks

This property adds a cookie and the corresponding value to the outgoing request headers. Please refer to the Cookies property for more information on cookies and how they are managed.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

AddParam Method (OpenID Class)

This method adds a name-value pair to the query string parameters of outgoing request.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int AddParam(const char* lpszParamName, const char* lpszParamValue);

Unicode (Windows)
INT AddParam(LPCWSTR lpszParamName, LPCWSTR lpszParamValue);
int ipworksauth_openid_addparam(void* lpObj, const char* lpszParamName, const char* lpszParamValue);
int AddParam(const QString& qsParamName, const QString& qsParamValue);

Remarks

This method can be used to add query string parameters to the outgoing request. One common use for this method would be to add the state parameter to the request, which can be used when the ClientProfile is ocpWeb to add user-defined data. The authorization server will include the state parameter in the response and will be available in the post back to your server, which will allow you to maintain state in your application.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

Config Method (OpenID Class)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* Config(const char* lpszConfigurationString);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR Config(LPCWSTR lpszConfigurationString);
char* ipworksauth_openid_config(void* lpObj, const char* lpszConfigurationString);
QString Config(const QString& qsConfigurationString);

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These 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.

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.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

DoEvents Method (OpenID Class)

Processes events from the internal message queue.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int DoEvents();

Unicode (Windows)
INT DoEvents();
int ipworksauth_openid_doevents(void* lpObj);
int DoEvents();

Remarks

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

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

GetAuthorization Method (OpenID Class)

Gets the authorization string required to access the protected resource.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetAuthorization();

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GetAuthorization();
char* ipworksauth_openid_getauthorization(void* lpObj);
QString GetAuthorization();

Remarks

GetAuthorization performs several operations automatically depending on the value of ClientProfile. Please see the introduction section for the OpenID class for a detailed overview of the typical scenarios.

After authorization is complete UserDetails will be populated with the claims parsed from the ID token. This method also returns an authorization string. The authorization string grants access to additional resources as requested via the AuthorizationScope property. If access to another resource was requested the access token returned here may be set in the Authorization property of any other class (or passed as the value of the HTTP Authorization header).

GetUserInfo may be called after calling this method.

The following properties are applicable when calling this method:

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

GetAuthorizationURL Method (OpenID Class)

This method builds and returns the URL to which the user should be redirected for authorization.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetAuthorizationURL();

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GetAuthorizationURL();
char* ipworksauth_openid_getauthorizationurl(void* lpObj);
QString GetAuthorizationURL();

Remarks

When this method is called, the class will return the URL used for authorization. The class will not make any connections, but instead it will return the URL to you so that you may redirect the user to this location. This is useful when ClientProfile is set to ocpWeb. Before calling this method, set the following:

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

GetDiscoveryDoc Method (OpenID Class)

Gets the OpenID Discovery Document.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetDiscoveryDoc(const char* lpszURL);

Unicode (Windows)
INT GetDiscoveryDoc(LPCWSTR lpszURL);
int ipworksauth_openid_getdiscoverydoc(void* lpObj, const char* lpszURL);
int GetDiscoveryDoc(const QString& qsURL);

Remarks

This method gets the OpenID Connect Discovery Document specified by the URL parameter and parses the response. The discover document contains details about the OpenID Provider configuration including endpoint URLs, supported claims and response types, and more.

The discovery document URL is typically published by an OpenID Provider (OP) and must be known before calling this method. The format of the URL is standardized and typically takes the form:

https://www.youropenidserver.com/.well-known/openid-configuration

Call GetDiscoveryDoc before calling GetAuthorization to populate the class properties with information required to complete the authorization. The retrieved information includes endpoint URLs as well as the OpenID public certificates used to verify the signature on the ID token. After calling this method the following properties are populated:

The above values may be stored, and later populated from the stored values, to avoid the requirement of calling GetDiscoveryDoc on subsequent authorization requests.

The following discovery document fields are populated after GetDiscoveryDoc returns:

To access values not automatically parsed by the class the XPath configuration setting may be set to retrieve a specific value. Alternatively the RawJSON setting returns the entire JSON document which may be parsed separately.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

GetParam Method (OpenID Class)

This method gets a specific parameter from a query string.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetParam(const char* lpszParamName);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GetParam(LPCWSTR lpszParamName);
char* ipworksauth_openid_getparam(void* lpObj, const char* lpszParamName);
QString GetParam(const QString& qsParamName);

Remarks

This method can be used to get a specific parameter from a query string.

For example, when using the ocpApplication profile, this method can be used in the ReturnURL event to query the parameters that are returned from the authorization server. Then, it can be called after GetAuthorization completes to query the parameters that the token server responded with.

string authorizationString = oauth.GetAuthorization(); string stateValue = oauth.GetParam("state");

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

GetUserInfo Method (OpenID Class)

Retrieves claims about the user.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetUserInfo();

Unicode (Windows)
INT GetUserInfo();
int ipworksauth_openid_getuserinfo(void* lpObj);
int GetUserInfo();

Remarks

This method retrieves claims about the user. Before calling GetUserInfo method a successful call to GetAuthorization must be made. The access token returned by GetAuthorization is used by the OpenID provider at ServerUserInfoURL to identify the user for which claims are being retrieved.

When this method is called the class requests the claims about the user from the ServerUserInfoURL. The resulting claims are available in the UserDetail* properties.

Note: The GetUserInfo method will populate the UserDetail* properties with the claims returned in the ID token during the authorization process. This method may not need to be called in order to access the desired claims about the user.

openid.GetUserInfo(); // ... use the user info in the remainder of your application ...

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

Interrupt Method (OpenID Class)

Interrupt the current method.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Interrupt();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Interrupt();
int ipworksauth_openid_interrupt(void* lpObj);
int Interrupt();

Remarks

If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

Reset Method (OpenID Class)

Reset the class.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Reset();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Reset();
int ipworksauth_openid_reset(void* lpObj);
int Reset();

Remarks

This method will reset the class's properties to their default values.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

StartWebServer Method (OpenID Class)

This method starts the embedded web server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int StartWebServer();

Unicode (Windows)
INT StartWebServer();
int ipworksauth_openid_startwebserver(void* lpObj);
int StartWebServer();

Remarks

This method starts the embedded web server. This method can be used to manually start the embedded web server. Under normal circumstances, this is not needed as the component will automatically start and stop the web server when GetAuthorization is called. You may decide, however, to start the web server manually before calling GetAuthorization. When called, this method will also populate ReturnURL with the address of the embedded server.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

StopWebServer Method (OpenID Class)

This method stops the embedded web server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int StopWebServer();

Unicode (Windows)
INT StopWebServer();
int ipworksauth_openid_stopwebserver(void* lpObj);
int StopWebServer();

Remarks

This method stops the embedded web server. Under normal circumstances, the web server will be stopped automatically during the authorization process when GetAuthorization is called. If ReUseWebServer is set to True, the server will not be automatically stopped, and this method must be called to stop the embedded web server.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

Connected Event (OpenID Class)

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

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireConnected(OpenIDConnectedEventParams *e);

// Or, subclass OpenID and override this emitter function. virtual int FireConnectionStatus(OpenIDConnectionStatusEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

The ConnectionStatus event is fired when the connection state changes: for example, completion of a firewall or proxy connection or completion of a security handshake.

The ConnectionEvent parameter indicates the type of connection event. Values may include the following:

Firewall connection complete.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or S/Shell handshake complete (where applicable).
Remote host connection complete.
Remote host disconnected.
SSL or S/Shell connection broken.
Firewall host disconnected.
StatusCode has the error code returned by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the error.

Disconnected Event (OpenID Class)

This event is fired when a connection is closed.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireDisconnected(OpenIDDisconnectedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int StatusCode;
const char *Description; int reserved; } OpenIDDisconnectedEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireDisconnected(OpenIDDisconnectedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
INT StatusCode;
LPCWSTR Description; INT reserved; } OpenIDDisconnectedEventParams;
#define EID_OPENID_DISCONNECTED 3

virtual INT IPWORKSAUTH_CALL FireDisconnected(INT &iStatusCode, LPSTR &lpszDescription);
class OpenIDDisconnectedEventParams {
public:
  int StatusCode();

  const QString &Description();

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Disconnected(OpenIDDisconnectedEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass OpenID and override this emitter function. virtual int FireDisconnected(OpenIDDisconnectedEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

If the connection is broken normally, StatusCode is 0 and Description is "OK".

If the connection is broken for any other reason, StatusCode has the error code returned by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP/IP) subsystem. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the TCP/IP error.

Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.

EndTransfer Event (OpenID Class)

This event is fired when a document finishes transferring.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireEndTransfer(OpenIDEndTransferEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int Direction; int reserved; } OpenIDEndTransferEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireEndTransfer(OpenIDEndTransferEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
INT Direction; INT reserved; } OpenIDEndTransferEventParams;
#define EID_OPENID_ENDTRANSFER 4

virtual INT IPWORKSAUTH_CALL FireEndTransfer(INT &iDirection);
class OpenIDEndTransferEventParams {
public:

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void EndTransfer(OpenIDEndTransferEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass OpenID and override this emitter function. virtual int FireEndTransfer(OpenIDEndTransferEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

The EndTransfer event is fired first when the client finishes sending data to the server (in a POST or PUT request) and then when the document text finishes transferring from the server to the local host.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

Error Event (OpenID Class)

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireError(OpenIDErrorEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int ErrorCode;
const char *Description; int reserved; } OpenIDErrorEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireError(OpenIDErrorEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
INT ErrorCode;
LPCWSTR Description; INT reserved; } OpenIDErrorEventParams;
#define EID_OPENID_ERROR 5

virtual INT IPWORKSAUTH_CALL FireError(INT &iErrorCode, LPSTR &lpszDescription);
class OpenIDErrorEventParams {
public:
  int ErrorCode();

  const QString &Description();

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Error(OpenIDErrorEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass OpenID and override this emitter function. virtual int FireError(OpenIDErrorEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class fails with an error.

ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

Header Event (OpenID Class)

This event is fired every time a header line comes in.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireHeader(OpenIDHeaderEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *Field;
const char *Value; int reserved; } OpenIDHeaderEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireHeader(OpenIDHeaderEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR Field;
LPCWSTR Value; INT reserved; } OpenIDHeaderEventParams;
#define EID_OPENID_HEADER 6

virtual INT IPWORKSAUTH_CALL FireHeader(LPSTR &lpszField, LPSTR &lpszValue);
class OpenIDHeaderEventParams {
public:
  const QString &Field();

  const QString &Value();

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Header(OpenIDHeaderEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass OpenID and override this emitter function. virtual int FireHeader(OpenIDHeaderEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

The Field parameter contains the name of the HTTP header (which is the same as it is delivered). The Value parameter contains the header contents.

If the header line being retrieved is a continuation header line, then the Field parameter contains "" (empty string).

LaunchBrowser Event (OpenID Class)

This event fires before launching a browser with the authorization URL.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireLaunchBrowser(OpenIDLaunchBrowserEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
char *URL;
char *Command; int reserved; } OpenIDLaunchBrowserEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireLaunchBrowser(OpenIDLaunchBrowserEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPWSTR URL;
LPWSTR Command; INT reserved; } OpenIDLaunchBrowserEventParams;
#define EID_OPENID_LAUNCHBROWSER 7

virtual INT IPWORKSAUTH_CALL FireLaunchBrowser(LPSTR &lpszURL, LPSTR &lpszCommand);
class OpenIDLaunchBrowserEventParams {
public:
  const QString &URL();
  void SetURL(const QString &qsURL);

  const QString &Command();
  void SetCommand(const QString &qsCommand);

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void LaunchBrowser(OpenIDLaunchBrowserEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass OpenID and override this emitter function. virtual int FireLaunchBrowser(OpenIDLaunchBrowserEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

When the ClientProfile property is set to ocpApplication and GetAuthorization is called, the class will fire this event with the Command, which will be executed by the class. The URL parameter will be the authorization URL that the user will be directed to authenticate.

Within this event, you may override the current value of either Command or URL and provide your own value. If Command is set to an empty string, the class will not attempt to launch the browser and instead you will be responsible for directing the user to the authorization URL specified by the URL parameter.

In Windows, ShellExecute is used to execute Command, which limits the verbs available for use in Command to:

  • edit
  • explore
  • find
  • open
  • print

Log Event (OpenID Class)

This event fires once for each log message.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireLog(OpenIDLogEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int LogLevel;
const char *Message;
const char *LogType; int reserved; } OpenIDLogEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireLog(OpenIDLogEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
INT LogLevel;
LPCWSTR Message;
LPCWSTR LogType; INT reserved; } OpenIDLogEventParams;
#define EID_OPENID_LOG 8

virtual INT IPWORKSAUTH_CALL FireLog(INT &iLogLevel, LPSTR &lpszMessage, LPSTR &lpszLogType);
class OpenIDLogEventParams {
public:
  int LogLevel();

  const QString &Message();

  const QString &LogType();

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Log(OpenIDLogEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass OpenID and override this emitter function. virtual int FireLog(OpenIDLogEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

This event fires once for each log message generated by the class. The verbosity is controlled by the LogLevel setting.

LogLevel indicates the level of message. Possible values are as follows:

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

The value 1 (Info) logs basic information, including the URL, HTTP version, and status details.

The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.

The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).

Message is the log entry.

LogType identifies the type of log entry. Possible values are as follows:

  • "Info"
  • "RequestHeaders"
  • "ResponseHeaders"
  • "RequestBody"
  • "ResponseBody"
  • "ProxyRequest"
  • "ProxyResponse"
  • "FirewallRequest"
  • "FirewallResponse"

Redirect Event (OpenID Class)

This event is fired when a redirection is received from the server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireRedirect(OpenIDRedirectEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *Location;
int Accept; int reserved; } OpenIDRedirectEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireRedirect(OpenIDRedirectEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR Location;
BOOL Accept; INT reserved; } OpenIDRedirectEventParams;
#define EID_OPENID_REDIRECT 9

virtual INT IPWORKSAUTH_CALL FireRedirect(LPSTR &lpszLocation, BOOL &bAccept);
class OpenIDRedirectEventParams {
public:
  const QString &Location();

  bool Accept();
  void SetAccept(bool bAccept);

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Redirect(OpenIDRedirectEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass OpenID and override this emitter function. virtual int FireRedirect(OpenIDRedirectEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

This event is fired in cases in which the client can decide whether or not to continue with the redirection process. The Accept parameter is always True by default, but if you do not want to follow the redirection, Accept may be set to False, in which case the class fails with an error. Location is the location to which the client is being redirected. Further control over redirection is provided in the FollowRedirects property.

ReturnURL Event (OpenID Class)

Fires when the user is redirected to the embedded web server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireReturnURL(OpenIDReturnURLEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *URLPath;
const char *QueryString;
const char *State;
char *ResponseHeaders;
char *ResponseBody; int reserved; } OpenIDReturnURLEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireReturnURL(OpenIDReturnURLEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR URLPath;
LPCWSTR QueryString;
LPCWSTR State;
LPWSTR ResponseHeaders;
LPWSTR ResponseBody; INT reserved; } OpenIDReturnURLEventParams;
#define EID_OPENID_RETURNURL 10

virtual INT IPWORKSAUTH_CALL FireReturnURL(LPSTR &lpszURLPath, LPSTR &lpszQueryString, LPSTR &lpszState, LPSTR &lpszResponseHeaders, LPSTR &lpszResponseBody);
class OpenIDReturnURLEventParams {
public:
  const QString &URLPath();

  const QString &QueryString();

  const QString &State();

  const QString &ResponseHeaders();
  void SetResponseHeaders(const QString &qsResponseHeaders);

  const QString &ResponseBody();
  void SetResponseBody(const QString &qsResponseBody);

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void ReturnURL(OpenIDReturnURLEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass OpenID and override this emitter function. virtual int FireReturnURL(OpenIDReturnURLEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

When ClientProfile is set to ocpApplication and the embedded web server is used (default), this event will fire when the user is redirected from authorization server back to the local embedded web server. The event provides an opportunity to set the ResponseHeaders and ResponseBody and provide a custom response that the user will see in their browser.

URLPath and QueryString are informational parameters that show the values sent by the authorization server.

State holds the value of the state parameter that was originally sent with the authorization request. This may be used to maintain state between the request and response. See State for more details.

SetCookie Event (OpenID Class)

This event is fired for every cookie set by the server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireSetCookie(OpenIDSetCookieEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *Name;
const char *Value;
const char *Expires;
const char *Domain;
const char *Path;
int Secure; int reserved; } OpenIDSetCookieEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireSetCookie(OpenIDSetCookieEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR Name;
LPCWSTR Value;
LPCWSTR Expires;
LPCWSTR Domain;
LPCWSTR Path;
BOOL Secure; INT reserved; } OpenIDSetCookieEventParams;
#define EID_OPENID_SETCOOKIE 11

virtual INT IPWORKSAUTH_CALL FireSetCookie(LPSTR &lpszName, LPSTR &lpszValue, LPSTR &lpszExpires, LPSTR &lpszDomain, LPSTR &lpszPath, BOOL &bSecure);
class OpenIDSetCookieEventParams {
public:
  const QString &Name();

  const QString &Value();

  const QString &Expires();

  const QString &Domain();

  const QString &Path();

  bool Secure();

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void SetCookie(OpenIDSetCookieEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass OpenID and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSetCookie(OpenIDSetCookieEventParams *e) {...}

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 (OpenID Class)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireSSLServerAuthentication(OpenIDSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *CertEncoded; int lenCertEncoded;
const char *CertSubject;
const char *CertIssuer;
const char *Status;
int Accept; int reserved; } OpenIDSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireSSLServerAuthentication(OpenIDSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCSTR CertEncoded; INT lenCertEncoded;
LPCWSTR CertSubject;
LPCWSTR CertIssuer;
LPCWSTR Status;
BOOL Accept; INT reserved; } OpenIDSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams;
#define EID_OPENID_SSLSERVERAUTHENTICATION 12

virtual INT IPWORKSAUTH_CALL FireSSLServerAuthentication(LPSTR &lpCertEncoded, INT &lenCertEncoded, LPSTR &lpszCertSubject, LPSTR &lpszCertIssuer, LPSTR &lpszStatus, BOOL &bAccept);
class OpenIDSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams {
public:
  const QByteArray &CertEncoded();

  const QString &CertSubject();

  const QString &CertIssuer();

  const QString &Status();

  bool Accept();
  void SetAccept(bool bAccept);

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void SSLServerAuthentication(OpenIDSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass OpenID and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSSLServerAuthentication(OpenIDSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e) {...}

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"). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

SSLStatus Event (OpenID Class)

Shows the progress of the secure connection.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireSSLStatus(OpenIDSSLStatusEventParams *e);
typedef struct {

};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void StartTransfer(OpenIDStartTransferEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass OpenID and override this emitter function. virtual int FireStartTransfer(OpenIDStartTransferEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

The StartTransfer event is fired first when the client starts sending data to the server (in a POST or PUT request) and then when the document text starts transferring from the server to the local host.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

Status Event (OpenID Class)

This event is fired when the HTTP status line is received from the server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireStatus(OpenIDStatusEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *HTTPVersion;

};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Status(OpenIDStatusEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass OpenID and override this emitter function. virtual int FireStatus(OpenIDStatusEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

HTTPVersion is a string containing the HTTP version string as returned from the server (e.g., "1.1").

StatusCode contains the HTTP status code (e.g., 200), and Description the associated message returned by the server (e.g., "OK").

Transfer Event (OpenID Class)

This event is fired while a document transfers (delivers document).

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Transfer(OpenIDTransferEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass OpenID and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTransfer(OpenIDTransferEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

The Text parameter contains the portion of the document text being received. It is empty if data are being posted to the server.

The BytesTransferred parameter contains the number of bytes transferred in this Direction since the beginning of the document text (excluding HTTP response headers).

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

The PercentDone parameter shows the progress of the transfer in the corresponding direction. If PercentDone can not be calculated the value will be -1.

Note: Events are not re-entrant. Performing time-consuming operations within this event will prevent it from firing again in a timely manner and may affect overall performance.

Config Settings (OpenID Class)

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.

OpenID Config Settings

Display:   The requested display options to present to the end user.

This optional setting specifies the display options that the authorization server should display to the user. Possible values are:

pageThe Authorization Server SHOULD display the authentication and consent UI consistent with a full User Agent page view. If the display parameter is not specified, this is the default display mode.
popupThe Authorization Server SHOULD display the authentication and consent UI consistent with a popup User Agent window. The popup User Agent window should be of an appropriate size for a login-focused dialog and should not obscure the entire window that it is popping up over.
touchThe Authorization Server SHOULD display the authentication and consent UI consistent with a device that leverages a touch interface.
wapThe Authorization Server SHOULD display the authentication and consent UI consistent with a "feature phone" type display.
The authorization server may choose to use another method to determine how to interact with the user.
IDToken:   The raw ID token returned after authorization.

This setting returns the raw ID token returned by the authorization server after a call to GetAuthorization. This value may be used in subsequent requests as the value for the IDTokenHint setting.

IDTokenHint:   An ID token value to be used as a hint about the user's session.

This setting may be specified before calling GetAuthorization to pass an ID token as a hint about the user's current or past authenticated session. If the user identified by the ID token present here is logged in, then the authorization server should return a positive response. If Prompt is set to none this value should be set.

The value for this setting is the raw IDToken received from a previous authorization.

LoginHint:   The login hint sent to the authorization server.

This setting optionally specifies an identifier of the end-user which may be used as a hint to the authorization server about the user's identity. For instance this may be the email address or phone number of a user. The authorization may or may not use the value provided.

This setting corresponds to the login_hint request parameter.

LogoutURL:   The logout URL that is provided by the discovery document.

This setting provides the logout URL that is parsed from the discovery document after GetDiscoveryDoc is called. The logout URL is provided by the end_session_endpoint field in the discovery document. If the user is directed to the URL, they will be asked to log out of their account.

Prompt:   The requested conditions under which the authorization server prompts for login.

This optional setting specifies the conditions under which the authorization server should prompt for login. The value specifies here is a space delimited, case sensitive list of one or more of the following values. For instance: login consent. Possible values are:

noneThe Authorization Server MUST NOT display any authentication or consent user interface pages. An error is returned if an End-User is not already authenticated or the Client does not have pre-configured consent for the requested Claims or does not fulfill other conditions for processing the request. The error code will typically be login_required, interaction_required, or another code defined in Section 3.1.2.6 of the OpenID specification. This can be used as a method to check for existing authentication and/or consent.
loginThe Authorization Server SHOULD prompt the End-User for reauthentication. If it cannot reauthenticate the End-User, it MUST return an error, typically login_required.
consentThe Authorization Server SHOULD prompt the End-User for consent before returning information to the Client. If it cannot obtain consent, it MUST return an error, typically consent_required.
select_accountThe Authorization Server SHOULD prompt the End-User to select a user account. This enables an End-User who has multiple accounts at the Authorization Server to select amongst the multiple accounts that they might have current sessions for. If it cannot obtain an account selection choice made by the End-User, it MUST return an error, typically account_selection_required.

The prompt parameter can be used to make sure that the End-User is still present for the current session or to bring attention to the request. If this parameter contains none with any other value, an error is returned.

RawJSON:   A JSON string holding the last response.

This setting may be queried to retrieve the last response as a JSON string. The value returned by this setting depends on the most recently called method.

After GetDiscoveryDoc is called this method returns the entire discovery document JSON.

After GetAuthorization is called this method returns the ID token JSON.

After GetUserInfo is called this method returns the response JSON.

ResponseType:   The value of the response_type request parameter.

This setting optionally specifies the value of the response_type request parameter. When GrantType is set a value for the response_type is automatically chosen. If a different value is desired it may be specified here. The table below illustrates the default and possible values.

GrantType Default value Possible values
0 (Authorization Code) code
  • code
1 (Implicit) id_token token
  • id_token
  • id_token token
2 (Hybrid) code id_token token
  • code id_token
  • code token
  • code id_token token

XChildCount:   The number of child elements of the current element.

When XPath is set to a valid path, XElement points to the name of the element, with XText, XParent, XSubTree, XChildCount, XChildName[i], and XChildXText[i] providing other properties of the element.

XPath Syntax

XPath syntax is available for both XML and JSON documents. An XPath is a series of one or more element accessors separated by the / character, for example: /A/B/C/D. An XPath can be absolute (i.e., it starts with /), or it can be relative to the current XPath location.

The following are possible values for an element accessor, which operates relative to the current location specified by the XPath accessors which proceed it in the overall XPath string:

Accessor Description
name The first element with a particular name. Can be *.
[i] The i-th element.
name[i] The i-th element with a particular name.
[last()] The last element.
[last()-i] The element i before the last element.
name[@attrname="attrvalue"]The first element with a particular name that contains the specified attribute-value pair.

Supports single and double quotes. (XML Only)

. The current element.
.. The parent element.
Note: XPath indices are 1-based.

XPath Examples

Assuming the following XML response:

<firstlevel>
  <one>value</one>
  <two>
    <item>first</item>
    <item>second</item>
  </two>
  <three>value three</three>
</firstlevel>

Or, alternatively, the following JSON response:

{
  "firstlevel": {
    "one": "value",
    "two": ["first", "second"],
    "three": "value three"
  }
}

Here are some examples of valid XPaths:

DescriptionXML XPath JSON XPath
Document root / /json
Specific element /firstlevel/one /json/firstlevel/one
i-th child /firstlevel/two/item[2]/json/firstlevel/two/[2]

This is not an exhaustive list by any means, but should provide a general idea of the possibilities.

OAuth Config Settings

AuthMethod:   Specifies how the client credentials are sent to the token server.

This configuration setting specifies how the ClientId and ClientSecret are provided when making a request to the token server. By default (0) the ClientId and ClientSecret are provided to the token server through the client_id and client_secret form parameters. If set to 1, then the component will provide the ClientId and ClientSecret through the basic Authorization HTTP header.

AuthorizationTokenType:   The type of access token returned.

Applicable values for this configuration setting include the following:

Bearer (default)When the access token returned by the server is a Bearer type, the authorization string returned by GetAuthorization will be in the format "Bearer access_token". This can be supplied as the value of the HTTP authorization header.
BrowserResponseTimeout:   Specifies the amount of time to wait for a response from the browser.

This configuration setting specifies the amount of time (in seconds) the component will wait for a response from the browser in the LaunchBrowser event. The default value is 0, meaning that the component will wait indefinitely.

DeviceGrantType:   The grant type to be used when the ClientProfile is set to ocpDevice.

This configuration setting is used to specify a different grant type to use for device flow. By default this is set to "http://oauth.net/grant_type/device/1.0". Another commonly used grant type is "urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:device_code".

DeviceUserCode:   The device's user code when the ClientProfile is set to ocpDevice.

When ClientProfile is set to ocpDevice and GetAuthorizationURL is called, the class will request a device user code from the server specified by ServerAuthURL. This configuration setting will be populated with the device user code returned by the server. Provide this value along with the URL returned by GetAuthorizationURL to the user.

FormVarCount:   Specifies the number of additional form variables to include in the request.

This configuration setting may be used to specify additional form variables made in the request to exchange AuthorizationCode for an access token. This is useful in cases in which the OAuth server requires additional fields. This is used in conjunction with FormVarName[i] and FormVarValue[i]. For instance: component.Config("FormVarCount=2"); component.Config("FormVarName[0]=myvar"); component.Config("FormVarValue[0]=myvalue"); component.Config("FormVarName[1]=testname"); component.Config("FormVarValue[1]=testvalue"); The value will be URL encoded by the class

If set to True, the credentials are added as form entries to the request body.

IncludeEmptyRedirectURI:   Whether an empty redirect_uri parameter is included in requests.

This configuration setting specifies whether redirect_uri is included in the request made by GetAuthorization if it is empty. In most cases, redirect_uri will contain a value and will be sent; if, however, ClientProfile is set to Mobile or Device, this will be empty.

If set to True (default), the redirect_uri will be sent in all cases. If set to False, the redirect_uri will be sent only if it has a value.

JWTAudience:   The JWT audience when the ClientProfile is set to ocpJWT.

This configuration setting specifies the audience that the JWT is intended for. This is required when ClientProfile is set to ocpJWT. When using Google service accounts, this value must be "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/token".

The following are possible values for an element accessor, which operates relative to the current location specified by the XPath accessors which proceed it in the overall XPath string:

Accessor Description
name The first element with a particular name. Can be *.
[i] The i-th element.
name[i] The i-th element with a particular name.
[last()] The last element.
[last()-i] The element i before the last element.
Here are some examples of valid XPaths and some common claims:
DescriptionJSON XPath
Document root /json
Specific element /json/element_one
Username Claim (Microsoft Specific) /json/preferred_username
Registered Application Name Claim (Microsoft Specific) /json/app_displayname

This is not an exhaustive list by any means, but should provide a general idea of the possibilities. To get the text of the specified element, see JWTXText.

Office365ServiceCapability:   The API capability of the Office 365 service being discovered.

This configuration setting specifies the capability of the Office 365 service for which a search is initiated. See Office365ServiceEndpoint for details.

Office365ServiceEndpoint:   The Office 365 endpoint for the service that matches the criteria specified.

When obtaining authorization to access an Office 365 resource, it may be necessary to discover a list of services that match a certain criteria and then select a specific resource from that list. For instance, OneDrive for Business requires discovery of the Office 365 service that can be used with the OneDrive API.

When GetAuthorization is called, if Office365ServiceAPIVersion and Office365ServiceCapability are specified, the class will attempt to discover the Office 365 services for which the user has access and find a service that matches the requirements specified in Office365ServiceAPIVersion and Office365ServiceCapability. If a service is found, the class will then obtain authorization to access that service. If authorization is successful, Office365ServiceEndpoint will hold the service endpoint URL to which requests should be made.

Example. OneDrive for Business: oauth.Config("Office365ServiceCapability=MyFiles"); oauth.Config("Office365ServiceAPIVersion=v2.0"); string authString = oauth.GetAuthorization(); string endpointURL = oauth.Config("Office365ServiceEndpoint");

This configuration setting will post the AccessToken to the tokeninfo service specified by TokenInfoURL. This allows a token to be queried for validity and other information before use. When this configuration setting is queried, the class will immediately make a request to the server. TokenInfoFieldCount, TokenInfoFieldName[i], and TokenInfoFieldValue[i]] may be used to iterate over the fields in the response.

WebServerFailedResponse:   The custom response that will be displayed to the user if authentication failed.

When GetAuthorization is called, the user will be redirected to the embedded web server upon completing authentication with the authorization server. If authentication fails, the HTML specified here will be sent to the user's browser.

WebServerHost:   The hostname used by the embedded web server displayed in the ReturnURL.

This configuration setting specifies the hostname used by the embedded web server when ClientProfile is set to ocpApplication. This specifies the interface on which the embedded web server listens and also the value displayed in the ReturnURL. This should be set to the hostname only, and not to the full URL.

The default value is "localhost".

WebServerResponse:   The custom response that will be displayed to the user.

When GetAuthorization is called, the user will be redirected to the embedded web server upon completing authentication with the authorization server. This setting allows you to specify the HTML that will be sent to the user's browser.

HTTP Config Settings

AcceptEncoding:   Used to tell the server which types of content encodings the client supports.

When AllowHTTPCompression is True, the class adds an Accept-Encoding header to the request being sent to the server. By default, this header's value is "gzip, deflate". This configuration setting allows you to change the value of the Accept-Encoding header. Note: The class only supports gzip and deflate decompression algorithms.

AllowHTTPCompression:   This property enables HTTP compression for receiving data.

This configuration setting enables HTTP compression for receiving data. When set to True (default), the class will accept compressed data. It then will uncompress the data it has received. The class will handle data compressed by both gzip and deflate compression algorithms.

When True, the class adds an Accept-Encoding header to the outgoing request. The value for this header can be controlled by the AcceptEncoding configuration setting. The default value for this header is "gzip, deflate".

The default value is True.

AllowHTTPFallback:   Whether HTTP/2 connections are permitted to fallback to HTTP/1.1.

This configuration setting controls whether HTTP/2 connections are permitted to fall back to HTTP/1.1 when the server does not support HTTP/2. This setting is applicable only when HTTPVersion is set to "2.0".

If set to True (default), the class will automatically use HTTP/1.1 if the server does not support HTTP/2. If set to False, the class fails with an error if the server does not support HTTP/2.

The default value is True.

Append:   Whether to append data to LocalFile.

This configuration setting determines whether data will be appended when writing to LocalFile. When set to True, downloaded data will be appended to LocalFile. This may be used in conjunction with Range to resume a failed download. This is applicable only when LocalFile is set. The default value is False.

Authorization:   The Authorization string to be sent to the server.

If the Authorization property contains a nonempty string, an Authorization HTTP request header is added to the request. This header conveys Authorization information to the server.

This property is provided so that the HTTP class can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the class.

The AuthScheme property 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 property in the form "Basic [encoded-user-password]".

BytesTransferred:   Contains the number of bytes transferred in the response data.

This configuration setting returns the raw number of bytes from the HTTP response data, before the component processes the data, whether it is chunked or compressed. This returns the same value as the Transfer event, by BytesTransferred.

ChunkSize:   Specifies the chunk size in bytes when using chunked encoding.

This is applicable only when UseChunkedEncoding is True. This setting specifies the chunk size in bytes to be used when posting data. The default value is 16384.

CompressHTTPRequest:   Set to true to compress the body of a PUT or POST request.

If set to True, the body of a PUT or POST request will be compressed into gzip format before sending the request. The "Content-Encoding" header is also added to the outgoing request.

The default value is False.

EncodeURL:   If set to True the URL will be encoded by the class.

If set to True, the URL passed to the class will be URL encoded. The default value is False.

FollowRedirects:   Determines what happens when the server issues a redirect.

This option determines what happens when the server issues a redirect. Normally, the class returns an error if the server responds with an "Object Moved" message. If this property is set to 1 (always), the new URL for the object is retrieved automatically every time.

If this property is set to 2 (Same Scheme), the new URL is retrieved automatically only if the URL Scheme is the same; otherwise, the class fails with an error.

Note: Following the HTTP specification, unless this option is set to 1 (Always), automatic redirects will be performed only for GET or HEAD requests. Other methods potentially could change the conditions of the initial request and create security vulnerabilities.

Furthermore, if either the new URL server or port are different from the existing one, User and Password are also reset to empty, unless this property is set to 1 (Always), in which case the same credentials are used to connect to the new server.

A Redirect event is fired for every URL the product is redirected to. In the case of automatic redirections, the Redirect event is a good place to set properties related to the new connection (e.g., new authentication parameters).

The default value is 0 (Never). In this case, redirects are never followed, and the class fails with an error instead.

Following are the valid options:

  • 0 - Never
  • 1 - Always
  • 2 - Same Scheme

GetOn302Redirect:   If set to True the class will perform a GET on the new location.

The default value is False. If set to True, the class will perform a GET on the new location. Otherwise, it will use the same HTTP method again.

HTTP2HeadersWithoutIndexing:   HTTP2 headers that should not update the dynamic header table with incremental indexing.

HTTP/2 servers maintain a dynamic table of headers and values seen over the course of a connection. Typically, these headers are inserted into the table through incremental indexing (also known as HPACK, defined in RFC 7541). To tell the component not to use incremental indexing for certain headers, and thus not update the dynamic table, set this configuration option to a comma-delimited list of the header names.

HTTPVersion:   The version of HTTP used by the class.

This property specifies the HTTP version used by the class. Possible values are as follows:

  • "1.0"
  • "1.1" (default)
  • "2.0"
  • "3.0"

When using HTTP/2 ("2.0"), additional restrictions apply. Please see the following notes for details.

HTTP/2 Notes

When using HTTP/2, a secure Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (TLS/SSL) connection is required. Attempting to use a plaintext URL with HTTP/2 will result in an error.

If the server does not support HTTP/2, the class will automatically use HTTP/1.1 instead. This is done to provide compatibility without the need for any additional settings. To see which version was used, check NegotiatedHTTPVersion after calling a method. The AllowHTTPFallback setting controls whether this behavior is allowed (default) or disallowed.

HTTP/3 Notes

HTTP/3 is supported only in .NET and Java.

When using HTTP/3, a secure (TLS/SSL) connection is required. Attempting to use a plaintext URL with HTTP/3 will result in an error.

IfModifiedSince:   A date determining the maximum age of the desired document.

If this setting contains a nonempty string, an If-Modified-Since HTTP header is added to the request. The value of this header is used to make the HTTP request conditional: if the requested documented has not been modified since the time specified in the field, a copy of the document will not be returned from the server; instead, a 304 (not modified) response will be returned by the server and the component throws an exception

The format of the date value for IfModifiedSince is detailed in the HTTP specs. For example: Sat, 29 Oct 2017 19:43:31 GMT.

KeepAlive:   Determines whether the HTTP connection is closed after completion of the request.

If true, the component will not send the Connection: Close header. The absence of the Connection header indicates to the server that HTTP persistent connections should be used if supported. Note: Not all servers support persistent connections. If false, the connection will be closed immediately after the server response is received.

The default value for KeepAlive is false.

KerberosSPN:   The Service Principal Name for the Kerberos Domain Controller.

If the Service Principal Name on the Kerberos Domain Controller is not the same as the URL that you are authenticating to, the Service Principal Name should be set here.

LogLevel:   The level of detail that is logged.

This configuration setting controls the level of detail that is logged through the Log event. Possible values are as follows:

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

The value 1 (Info) logs basic information, including the URL, HTTP version, and status details.

The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.

The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).

MaxRedirectAttempts:   Limits the number of redirects that are followed in a request.

When FollowRedirects is set to any value other than frNever, the class will follow redirects until this maximum number of redirect attempts are made. The default value is 20.

NegotiatedHTTPVersion:   The negotiated HTTP version.

This configuration setting may be queried after the request is complete to indicate the HTTP version used. When HTTPVersion is set to "2.0" (if the server does not support "2.0"), then the class will fall back to using "1.1" automatically. This setting will indicate which version was used.

OtherHeaders:   Other headers as determined by the user (optional).

This configuration setting can be set to a string of headers to be appended to the HTTP request headers.

The headers must follow the format "header: value" as described in the HTTP specifications. Header lines should be separated by CRLF ("\r\n") .

Use this configuration setting with caution. If this configuration setting contains invalid headers, HTTP requests may fail.

This configuration setting is useful for extending the functionality of the class beyond what is provided.

ProxyAuthorization:   The authorization string to be sent to the proxy server.

This is similar to the Authorization configuration setting, but is used for proxy authorization. If this configuration setting contains a nonempty string, a Proxy-Authorization HTTP request header is added to the request. This header conveys proxy Authorization information to the server. If ProxyUser and ProxyPassword are specified, this value is calculated using the algorithm specified by ProxyAuthScheme.

ProxyAuthScheme:   The authorization scheme to be used for the proxy.

This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

ProxyPassword:   A password if authentication is to be used for the proxy.

This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

ProxyPort:   Port for the proxy server (default 80).

This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

ProxyServer:   Name or IP address of a proxy server (optional).

This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

ProxyUser:   A user name if authentication is to be used for the proxy.

This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

SentHeaders:   The full set of headers as sent by the client.

This configuration setting returns the complete set of raw headers as sent by the client.

StatusCode:   The status code of the last response from the server.

This configuration setting contains the result code of the last response from the server.

StatusLine:   The first line of the last response from the server.

This setting contains the first line of the last response from the server. The format of the line will be [HTTP version] [Result Code] [Description].

TransferredData:   The contents of the last response from the server.

This configuration setting contains the contents of the last response from the server.

TransferredDataLimit:   The maximum number of incoming bytes to be stored by the class.

If TransferredDataLimit is set to 0 (default), no limits are imposed. Otherwise, this reflects the maximum number of incoming bytes that can be stored by the class.

TransferredHeaders:   The full set of headers as received from the server.

This configuration setting returns the complete set of raw headers as received from the server.

TransferredRequest:   The full request as sent by the client.

This configuration setting returns the full request as sent by the client. For performance reasons, the request is not normally saved. Set this configuration setting to ON before making a request to enable it. Following are examples of this request:

.NET Http http = new Http(); http.Config("TransferredRequest=on"); http.PostData = "body"; http.Post("http://someserver.com"); Console.WriteLine(http.Config("TransferredRequest")); C++ HTTP http; http.Config("TransferredRequest=on"); http.SetPostData("body", 5); http.Post("http://someserver.com"); printf("%s\r\n", http.Config("TransferredRequest"));

UseChunkedEncoding:   Enables or Disables HTTP chunked encoding for transfers.

If UseChunkedEncoding is set to True, the class will use HTTP-chunked encoding when posting, if possible. HTTP-chunked encoding allows large files to be sent in chunks instead of all at once. If set to False, the class will not use HTTP-chunked encoding. The default value is False.

Note: Some servers (such as the ASP.NET Development Server) may not support chunked encoding.

UseIDNs:   Whether to encode hostnames to internationalized domain names.

This configuration setting specifies whether hostnames containing non-ASCII characters are encoded to internationalized domain names. When set to True, if a hostname contains non-ASCII characters, it is encoded using Punycode to an IDN (internationalized domain name).

The default value is False and the hostname will always be used exactly as specified. Note: The CodePage setting must be set to a value capable of interpreting the specified host name. For instance, to specify UTF-8, set CodePage to 65001. In the C++ Edition for Windows, the *W version of the class must be used. For instance, DNSW or HTTPW.

UsePlatformHTTPClient:   Whether or not to use the platform HTTP client.

When using this configuration setting, if True, the component will use the default HTTP client for the platform (URLConnection in Java, WebRequest in .NET, or CFHTTPMessage in Mac/iOS) instead of the internal HTTP implementation. This is important for environments in which direct access to sockets is limited or not allowed (e.g., in the Google AppEngine).

Note: This setting is applicable only to Mac/iOS editions.

UseProxyAutoConfigURL:   Whether to use a Proxy auto-config file when attempting a connection.

This configuration specifies whether the class will attempt to use the Proxy auto-config URL when establishing a connection and ProxyAutoDetect is set to True.

When True (default), the class will check for the existence of a Proxy auto-config URL, and if found, will determine the appropriate proxy to use.

UserAgent:   Information about the user agent (browser).

This is the value supplied in the HTTP User-Agent header. The default setting is "IPWorks HTTP Component - www.nsoftware.com".

Override the default with the name and version of your software.

TCPClient Config Settings

ConnectionTimeout:   Sets a separate timeout value for establishing a connection.

When set, this configuration setting allows you to specify a different timeout value for establishing a connection. Otherwise, the class will use Timeout for establishing a connection and transmitting/receiving data.

FirewallAutoDetect:   Tells the class whether or not to automatically detect and use firewall system settings, if available.

This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallHost:   Name or IP address of firewall (optional).

If a FirewallHost is given, requested connections will be authenticated through the specified firewall when connecting.

If the FirewallHost setting is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the FirewallHost setting is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallPassword:   Password to be used if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall.

If FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword settings are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the class fails with an error.

Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallPort:   The TCP port for the FirewallHost;.

The FirewallPort is set automatically when FirewallType is set to a valid value.

Note: This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallType:   Determines the type of firewall to connect through.

The appropriate values are as follows:

0No firewall (default setting).
1Connect through a tunneling proxy. FirewallPort is set to 80.
2Connect through a SOCKS4 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080.
3Connect through a SOCKS5 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080.
10Connect through a SOCKS4A Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080.

Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallUser:   A user name if authentication is to be used connecting through a firewall.

If the FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword settings are used to connect and authenticate to the Firewall. If the authentication fails, the class fails with an error.

Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

KeepAliveInterval:   The retry interval, in milliseconds, to be used when a TCP keep-alive packet is sent and no response is received.

When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to True. A TCP keep-alive packet will be sent after a period of inactivity as defined by KeepAliveTime. If no acknowledgment is received from the remote host, the keep-alive packet will be sent again. This configuration setting specifies the interval at which the successive keep-alive packets are sent in milliseconds. This system default if this value is not specified here is 1 second.

Note: This value is not applicable in macOS.

KeepAliveRetryCount:   The number of keep-alive packets to be sent before the remotehost is considered disconnected.

When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to True. A TCP keep-alive packet will be sent after a period of inactivity as defined by KeepAliveTime. If no acknowledgment is received from the remote host, the keep-alive packet will be sent again. This configuration setting specifies the number of times that the keep-alive packets will be sent before the remote host is considered disconnected. The system default if this value is not specified here is 9.

Note: This configuration setting is only available in the Unix platform. It is not supported in masOS or FreeBSD.

KeepAliveTime:   The inactivity time in milliseconds before a TCP keep-alive packet is sent.

When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to True. By default, the operating system will determine the time a connection is idle before a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) keep-alive packet is sent. This system default if this value is not specified here is 2 hours. In many cases, a shorter interval is more useful. Set this value to the desired interval in milliseconds.

Linger:   When set to True, connections are terminated gracefully.

This property controls how a connection is closed. The default is True.

In the case that Linger is True (default), two scenarios determine how long the connection will linger. In the first, if LingerTime is 0 (default), the system will attempt to send pending data for a connection until the default IP timeout expires.

In the second scenario, if LingerTime is a positive value, the system will attempt to send pending data until the specified LingerTime is reached. If this attempt fails, then the system will reset the connection.

The default behavior (which is also the default mode for stream sockets) might result in a long delay in closing the connection. Although the class returns control immediately, the system could hold system resources until all pending data are sent (even after your application closes).

Setting this property to False forces an immediate disconnection. If you know that the other side has received all the data you sent (e.g., by a client acknowledgment), setting this property to False might be the appropriate course of action.

LingerTime:   Time in seconds to have the connection linger.

LingerTime is the time, in seconds, the socket connection will linger. This value is 0 by default, which means it will use the default IP timeout.

LocalHost:   The name of the local host through which connections are initiated or accepted.

The LocalHost setting contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface.

If the class is connected, the LocalHost setting shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

LocalPort:   The port in the local host where the class binds.

This must be set before a connection is attempted. It instructs the class to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine.

Setting this to 0 (default) enables the system to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by LocalPort after the connection is established.

LocalPort cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this when a connection is active will generate an error.

This; setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port in the client side. An example is the remote shell (rsh) service in UNIX systems.

MaxLineLength:   The maximum amount of data to accumulate when no EOL is found.

MaxLineLength is the size of an internal buffer, which holds received data while waiting for an EOL string.

If an EOL string is found in the input stream before MaxLineLength bytes are received, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to True, and the buffer is reset.

If no EOL is found, and MaxLineLength bytes are accumulated in the buffer, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to False, and the buffer is reset.

The minimum value for MaxLineLength is 256 bytes. The default value is 2048 bytes.

MaxTransferRate:   The transfer rate limit in bytes per second.

This configuration setting can be used to throttle outbound TCP traffic. Set this to the number of bytes to be sent per second. By default, this is not set and there is no limit.

ProxyExceptionsList:   A semicolon separated list of hosts and IPs to bypass when using a proxy.

This configuration setting optionally specifies a semicolon-separated list of hostnames or IP addresses to bypass when a proxy is in use. When requests are made to hosts specified in this property, the proxy will not be used. For instance:

www.google.com;www.nsoftware.com

TCPKeepAlive:   Determines whether or not the keep alive socket option is enabled.

If set to True, the socket's keep-alive option is enabled and keep-alive packets will be sent periodically to maintain the connection. Set KeepAliveTime and KeepAliveInterval to configure the timing of the keep-alive packets.

Note: This value is not applicable in Java.

TcpNoDelay:   Whether or not to delay when sending packets.

When true, the socket will send all data that is ready to send at once. When false, the socket will send smaller buffered packets of data at small intervals. This is known as the Nagle algorithm.

By default, this config is set to false.

UseIPv6:   Whether to use IPv6.

When set to 0 (default), the class will use IPv4 exclusively. When set to 1, the class will use IPv6 exclusively. To instruct the class to prefer IPv6 addresses, but use IPv4 if IPv6 is not supported on the system, this setting should be set to 2. The default value is 0. Possible values are:

0 IPv4 Only
1 IPv6 Only
2 IPv6 with IPv4 fallback

Socket Config Settings

AbsoluteTimeout:   Determines whether timeouts are inactivity timeouts or absolute timeouts.

If AbsoluteTimeout is set to True, any method which does not complete within Timeout seconds will be aborted. By default, AbsoluteTimeout is False, and the timeout is an inactivity timeout.

Note: This option is not valid for UDP ports.

FirewallData:   Used to send extra data to the firewall.

When the firewall is a tunneling proxy, use this property to send custom (additional) headers to the firewall (e.g. headers for custom authentication schemes).

InBufferSize:   The size in bytes of the incoming queue of the socket.

This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be receiving. Increasing the value of the InBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in performance in some cases.

Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the InBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

OutBufferSize:   The size in bytes of the outgoing queue of the socket.

This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be sending. Increasing the value of the OutBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in performance in some cases.

Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the OutBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

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.

CodePage:   The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.

The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).

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:

  • 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 classes: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.

ProcessIdleEvents:   Whether the class uses its internal event loop to process events when the main thread is idle.

If set to False, the class will not fire internal idle events. Set this to False to use the class in a background thread on Mac OS. By default, this setting is True.

SelectWaitMillis:   The length of time in milliseconds the class will wait when DoEvents is called if there are no events to process.

If there are no events to process when DoEvents is called, the class will wait for the amount of time specified here before returning. The default value is 20.

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

When set to true, the class 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 classes 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:   Tells the class whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation.

When set to false, the class will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable.

Setting this setting to true tells the class 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.

To use the system security libraries for Linux, OpenSSL support must be enabled. For more information on how to enable OpenSSL, please refer to the OpenSSL Notes section.

Trappable Errors (OpenID Class)

Error Handling (C++)

Call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain the last called method's result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. Known error codes are listed below. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

OpenID Errors

900   Invalid discovery document. The data is not a properly formatted discovery document.
901   Invalid ID token. The ID token could not be parsed.
902   Invalid ResponseType specified. The supplied ResponseType was unrecognized.
903   ID Token verification failed.

The class may also return one of the following error codes, which are inherited from other classes.
