CertMgr Configuration

This settings specified the comment to use when calling SaveCertificate. This can only be used when CertificateOutputFormat is set to a value other than the default value. When CertificateOutputFormat is set to "SSH2PublicKey" the value of this setting should be the full header. For instance: "Comment: My Comment".

This property controls the size of the following arrays:

• CertCustomExtensionCritical[i];
• CertCustomExtensionOID[i];
• CertCustomExtensionValue[i];

The array indices start at 0 and end at CertExtensionCount-1.

Whether or not the certificate extension at index 'i' is defined as critical.

Valid array indices are from 0 to CertCustomExtensionCount - 1.

The ASN.1 Object-Identifier (OID) that defines the certificate extension at index 'i'.

Valid array indices are from 0 to CertCustomExtensionCount - 1.

The raw value of this certificate extension (as a byte string). This value is encoded according to the extension's ASN.1 specification.

Valid array indices are from 0 to CertCustomExtensionCount - 1.

By default when SaveCertificate is called the certificate will be written in a PEM format. You may change the format by setting this setting to "SSH2PublicKey" or "OpenSSHPublicKey". Set this to the value "PEM" to specify the default behavior.

When CreateCertificate creates a new certificate and associated key, or when CreateKey creates a key, this setting determines the length of the new public key (in bits). The default value is 1024.

When CreateCertificate creates a new certificate and associated key, or when CreateKey creates a key, this setting determines the type of key generated: 1 for key exchange (encryption) keys, and 2 for digital signature keys. The default value is 1.

When CreateCertificate or IssueCertificate creates a new certificate, the signature algorithm used is specified by this setting. Possible values are:

• MD2
• MD5
• SHA1
• SHA256
• SHA384
• SHA512

When CreateCertificate creates a new certificate, the certificate is valid the moment it is created. CertValidityTime determines the number of days until expiration. The default value is 365 days.

The name of the Cryptographic Service Provider used to provide access to certificate signing operations.

When calling ImportCertificate if a matching certificate or a link to a matching certificate already exists in the Windows certificate store this setting governs what action will be taken. Possible values are:

This setting controls the format of CertPublicKey and CertPrivateKey. By default these properties hold PEM formatted public and private key data. When set to 1 (XML) the keys are stored in a XML format. This only affects the values returned by the class; the actual keys remain the same regardless of this setting. Possible values are:

• 0 (PEM - default)
• 1 (XML)

If this is false (default), the component will throw an error if a duplicate key exists while generating a new keyset using CreateKey. If set to true, the component will replace a key if it already exists when generating new keys.

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.

The default code page is the Active Code Page (0).
