By default, when encoding to Base64 format, the component will insert line breaks every 76 characters. Setting the Base64LineBreak configuration setting to False will cause these line breaks to be omitted from the Base64 encoded content. The default value is True.

This configuration setting sets the value to specify the charset that is used when encoding data. For instance, UTF-8.

This setting determines whether the MD5, SHA1, or SHA256 hash value is hex encoded. When calling Encode, if this setting is True (default), the hash value created will be hex encoded. When set to False, the output will not be hex encoded and will be binary. This is applicable only to the following formats:

• MD5
• SHA1
• SHA256

HMACAlgorithm is used to tell the cmdlet which hashing algorithm to use to generate the Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC). HMACAlgorithm can be "SHA1" (Secure Hash Algorithm 1), "MD5" (Message Digest 5), or one of the SHA-2 algorithms mentioned next. You may truncate the hash output by specifying the desired number of bits. For instance, "SHA1-96" and "MD5-96" are acceptable.

The component is capable of utilizing the set of HMAC SHA-2 algorithms ("SHA-224", "SHA-256", "SHA-384", and "SHA-512").

The component also supports "RIPEMD160" as an HMAC algorithm.

When using the Format fmtHMAC, it may be necessary to supply the cmdlet with a key to use when generating the Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC). This key is incorporated into the hashing process to add entropy to the resulting hash code, making the plaintext harder to guess and increasing the message security. You may also set this to a hex value. For instance, 0xAAAAAA is acceptable.

Some mailing systems require that the message size should not exceed a certain size. Assigning a nonzero value to MaxFileSize makes the cmdlet split the encoded data into several files. FileCnt will contain the number of files created. Please refer to EncodedFile for filename conventions.

The default value for this setting is 0 (no limit).

Note: If a non-zero value is assigned to MaxFileSize, then a multiple filename should also be assigned to EncodedFile (end with question marks "?") so that the cmdlet can expand the filenames.

Please refer to the Error Codes section for a complete list of possible errors.

When Format is set to fmtBase32, UseExtendedHexBase32 is used to tell the cmdlet whether or not to use the extended hex alphabet. The default value is False.

When Format is set to fmtUTF7, UseModifiedUTF7 is used to tell the cmdlet whether or not to use a modified version of UTF-7 for IMAP mailbox naming. The default value is False.

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

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

The following is a list of valid code page identifiers:

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a cmdlet 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.

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

When set to false, the cmdlet will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable. In this case, calls to unmanaged code will be made. In certain environments, this is not desirable. To use a completely managed security implementation, set this setting to true.

Setting this configuration setting to true tells the cmdlet 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.

If using the .NET Standard Library, this setting will be true on all platforms. The .NET Standard library does not support using the system security libraries.

Note: This setting is static. The value set is applicable to all cmdlets used in the application.

When this value is set, the product's system dynamic link library (DLL) is no longer required as a reference, as all unmanaged code is stored in that file.
