The SAML class is used to obtain security tokens and assertions.

Syntax

SAML

Remarks

The SAML class provides an easy-to-use interface to obtain security tokens and assertions. The class can also be used to parse assertions and inspect the claims within.

The component has built in support for working with Microsoft SharePoint Online and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. This support means only a minimum of information needs to be supplied to the component.

Microsoft SharePoint Online and Dynamics CRM Online

To begin working with SharePoint Online or Dynamics CRM Online first set the AuthMode to the appropriate value. The class will automatically populate several properties to known values. Set the User, Password, ApplicationURN properties and call GetSecurityToken. For instance:

component.AuthMode = SAMLAuthModes.amDynamicsCRM; //dynamic crm component.User = "user@mycrm.onmicrosoft.com"; component.Password = "password"; component.ApplicationURN = "urn:crmapac:dynamics.com"; component.GetSecurityToken(); After calling GetSecurityToken the SecurityTokenXML property will be populated.

ADFS and Others

When working with ADFS or another Security Token Service (STS) the GetAssertion method may be used to obtain an assertion. To begin set AuthMode to either amADFS or amCustom. Then set LocalSTS, User, Password, and ApplicationURN. For instance:

component.AuthMode = SAMLAuthModes.amADFS; component.User = "administrator"; component.Password = "admin"; component.LocalSTS = "https://adfs.contoso.com"; component.ApplicationURN = "https://fsweb.contoso.com/ClaimsAwareWebAppWithManagedSTS/"; component.GetAssertion(); If the assertion is signed the class will use the certificate specified in SignerCert to verify the signature. If SignerCert is not set the class will attempt to parse the certificate present in the assertion to perform verification.

After the assertion is parsed and the signature is verified (if present) the following properties will be populated:

Parsing an Assertion

The class may also be used to parse an existing assertion without contacting a STS. To parse an existing assertion call ParseAssertion with the assertion XML. If the assertion is signed the class will use the certificate specified in SignerCert to verify the signature. If SignerCert is not set the class will attempt to parse the certificate present in the assertion to perform verification.

After the assertion is parsed and the signature is verified (if present) the following properties will be populated:

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

Note: This store type is only available in Java.

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.

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

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 PKCS#11 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 PKCS#11 DLL. The certificate information returned in the CertList event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use.

When using a certificate, pass the previously saved security key information as the CertStore and set CertStorePassword 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.

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

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 PKCS#11 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 PKCS#11 DLL. The certificate information returned in the CertList event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use.

When using a certificate, pass the previously saved security key information as the SignerCertStore and set SignerCertStorePassword 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.

Default Value

"MY"

Remarks

This is the name of the certificate store for the client certificate.

The SSLCertStoreType property denotes the type of the certificate store specified by SSLCertStore. If the store is password protected, specify the password in SSLCertStorePassword.

SSLCertStore is used in conjunction with the SSLCertSubject property to specify client certificates. If SSLCertStore has a value, and SSLCertSubject or SSLCertEncoded is set, a search for a certificate is initiated. Please see the SSLCertSubject property for details.

Designations of certificate stores are platform dependent.

The following designations are the most common User and Machine certificate stores in Windows:

MYA certificate store holding personal certificates with their associated private keys.
CACertifying authority certificates.
ROOTRoot certificates.

When the certificate store type is PFXFile, this property must be set to the name of the file. When the type is PFXBlob, the property must be set to the binary contents of a PFX file (i.e., PKCS#12 certificate store).

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

Note: This store type is only available in Java.

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 PKCS#7 file containing certificates.
12 (cstP7BBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary) representing a certificate store in PKCS#7 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).
21 (cstBCFKSFile)The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a BCFKS (Bouncy Castle FIPS Key Store).

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

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 PKCS#11 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 PKCS#11 DLL. The certificate information returned in the CertList event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use.

When using a certificate, pass the previously saved security key information as the 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);

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.

QString GetSSLCertSubject();
int SetSSLCertSubject(QString qsSSLCertSubject);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.

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

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

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

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

The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:

FieldMeaning
CNCommon Name. This is commonly a hostname like www.server.com.
OOrganization
OUOrganizational Unit
LLocality
SState
CCountry
EEmail Address

If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.

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.

The following are possible values for an element accessor:

'name'A particular element name
name[i]The i-th subelement of the current element with the given name
[i]The i-th subelement of the current element
[last()]The last subelement of the current element
[last()-i]The subelement located at the last location minus i in the current element
name[@attrname="attrvalue"]The subelement containing a particular value for a given attribute (supports single AND double quotes)
..The parent of the current element
When XPath is set to a valid path, XElement points to the name of the element, with XParent, XNamespace, XPrefix, XChildName, XChildNamespace, XChildPrefix, XChildXText, and XText providing other properties of the element. The attributes of the current element are provided in the AttrName, AttrNamespace, AttrPrefix, and AttrValue properties.

BuildDOM must be set to True prior to parsing the document for the XPath functionality to be available.

char* Config(const char* lpszConfigurationString);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR Config(LPCWSTR lpszConfigurationString);
char* ipworksauth_saml_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.

GetAssertion Method (SAML Class)

Gets the assertion.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetAssertion();

Unicode (Windows)
INT GetAssertion();
int ipworksauth_saml_getassertion(void* lpObj);
int GetAssertion();

Remarks

This method communicates with LocalSTS as to obtain an assertion.

When AuthMode is set to 0 (camSharePointOnline) or 1 (camDynamicsCRM) the class will automatically populate various properties to known values to reduce the number of required settings. Typically only the following properties are required:

When AuthMode is set to 2 (camADFS) or 3 (camCustom) the following properties are required:

If the assertion is signed the class will use the certificate specified in SignerCert to verify the signature. If SignerCert is not set the class will attempt to parse the certificate present in the assertion to perform verification.

After the assertion is parsed and the signature is verified (if present) the following properties will be populated:

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.)

GetSecurityToken Method (SAML Class)

Gets the security token.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetSecurityToken();

Unicode (Windows)
INT GetSecurityToken();
int ipworksauth_saml_getsecuritytoken(void* lpObj);

Remarks

This method communicates with FederationSTS and LocalSTS as applicable to obtain a security token. The SecurityTokenXML property will be populated with the retrieved token.

When AuthMode is set to 0 (camSharePointOnline) or 1 (camDynamicsCRM) the class will automatically populate various properties to known values to reduce the number of required settings. Typically only the following properties are required:

When AuthMode is set to 2 (camADFS) or 3 (camCustom) the following properties are required:

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.)

ParseAssertion Method (SAML Class)

Parses the specified assertion.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)

Unicode (Windows)
INT ParseAssertion(LPCWSTR lpszassertion);
int ipworksauth_saml_parseassertion(void* lpObj, const char* lpszassertion);
int ParseAssertion(const QString& qsassertion);

Remarks

This method parses the assertion specified by the assertion parameter. If the assertion is signed the class will use the certificate specified in SignerCert to verify the signature. If SignerCert is not set the class will attempt to parse the certificate present in the assertion to perform verification.

After the assertion is parsed and the signature is verified (if present) the following properties will be populated:

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.)

SSLServerAuthentication Event (SAML Class)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireSSLServerAuthentication(SAMLSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *CertEncoded; int lenCertEncoded;
const char *CertSubject;
const char *CertIssuer;
const char *Status;
int Accept; int reserved; } SAMLSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireSSLServerAuthentication(SAMLSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);
typedef struct {

// Or, subclass SAML and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSSLServerAuthentication(SAMLSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. 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 or not to continue.

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 (SAML Class)

The element name is provided through the Element parameter. The attribute names and values (if any) are provided through the AttrName, AttrNamespace, AttrPrefix, and AttrValue properties.

The IsEmpty parameter is true when the event corresponds with an empty element declaration.

Config Settings (SAML 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.

SAML Config Settings

AssertionAudienceCount:   Specifies the number of Audience elements found in the assertion.

This configuration setting is used to access the Audience elements found in an assertion's AudienceRestriction element. The audience is useful when verifying who the assertion is intended for. This is used in conjunction with AssertionAudienceValue configuration setting. For instance, the below sample will iterate through all of the Audience elements in the assertion's AudienceRestriction element:

int audCount = int.Parse(component.Config("AssertionAudienceCount")); for(int i = 0; i < audCount; i++){ string curAudience = component.Config("AssertionAudienceValue[" + i + "]"); //... }

AssertionAudienceValue[i]:   Contains the audience value at the specified index.

This configuration setting provides the value of the Audience element at the index specified. See AssertionAudienceCount for details.

AssertionXPath:   The XPath to the assertion.

Normally when calling ParseAssertion, only the assertion itself should be passed in. In the event that the assertion is nested in other markup, set this to the XPath of the assertion to instruct the class where to find it. For encrypted assertions there is a similar EncryptedAssertionXPath configuration setting.

saml.Config("AssertionXPath=/Response/Assertion"); saml.ParseAssertion(Assertion);

The XPath to the assertion.

Normally when calling ParseAssertion, only the assertion itself should be passed in. In the event that the assertion is nested in other markup, set this to the XPath of the assertion to instruct the class where to find it. For encrypted assertions there is a similar EncryptedAssertionXPath configuration setting.

AssertionXPath:   The XPath to the assertion.

Normally when calling ParseAssertion, only the assertion itself should be passed in. In the event that the assertion is nested in other markup, set this to the XPath of the assertion to instruct the class where to find it. For encrypted assertions there is a similar EncryptedAssertionXPath configuration setting.

saml.Config("AssertionXPath=/Response/Assertion"); saml.ParseAssertion(Assertion);

The XPath to the assertion.

Normally when calling ParseAssertion, only the assertion itself should be passed in. In the event that the assertion is nested in other markup, set this to the XPath of the assertion to instruct the class where to find it. For encrypted assertions there is a similar EncryptedAssertionXPath configuration setting.

DecryptAssertion:   Whether to decrypt the assertion.

This setting specifies whether the class should decrypt the assertion. If set to True the class will use the certificate specified by Certificate to decrypt the assertion. The default value is False.

EncryptedAssertionXPath:   The XPath to the encrypted assertion.

Normally when calling ParseAssertion, only the encrypted assertion itself should be passed in. In the event that the encrypted assertion is nested in other markup, set this to the XPath of the encrypted assertion to instruct the class where to find it. For plaintext assertions there is a similar AssertionXPath configuration setting.

saml.Config("EncryptedAssertionXPath=/Response/EncryptedAssertion""); saml.ParseAssertion(Assertion);

RawRequest:   Returns the raw HTTP request.

This may be queried after calling GetAssertion or GetSecurityToken. This will return the raw HTTP request which may be useful for troubleshooting purposes. For instance: component.GetAssertion(); MyString = component.Config("RawRequest");

RawResponse:   Returns the raw HTTP response.

This may be queried after calling GetAssertion or GetSecurityToken. This will return the raw HTTP response which may be useful for troubleshooting purposes. For instance: component.GetAssertion(); MyString = component.Config("RawResponse");

UserRealm:   The URL of a web service to determine the LocalSTS (if any).

This setting specifies the URL of a web service which will be queried to determine the LocalSTS value. This is only applicable when AuthMode is set to 0 (camSharePointOnline) or 1 (camDynamicsCRM). When AuthMode is set to either 0 or 1 this setting is automatically set to "https://login.microsoftonline.com/GetUserRealm.srf". In most cases this does not need to be changed.

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:   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 configuration 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.
