CertificateValidator Configuration

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.

CertificateValidator Configuration Settings

CacheValidityTime:   Time period during which to keep validation cache.

The validity period of the cached validation results in milliseconds.

CheckStrongAlgorithmForTrusted:   Whether to check a 'strong' hash algorithm for trusted certificates.

Whether to check a 'strong' hash algorithm for trusted certificates.

CheckValidityPeriodForTrusted:   Whether to check validity period for trusted certificates.

Whether to check validity period for trusted certificates.

CrossCertificationValidationStrategy:   Defines how the cross certification validation is performed.

This property tells the class how to perform the cross certification validation. Supported values: csvSmart = 0 csvOptimistic = 1 csvPessimistic = 2 csvNoCrossCertification = 3

In the optimistic strategy, positive validation results are kept, and negative ones are ignored. If there are no good certificates in the chain, the validation proceeds using self-signed certificates. Smart is the same as optimistic.

In the pessimistic strategy, even one negative validation result makes the whole process to fail.

ForceCompleteChainValidationForTrusted:   Whether to validate the whole chain.

Whether the whole certificate chain down to the CA certificate should be validated for trusted certificates.

ForceRevocationCheckForRoot:   Whether to check revocation info for root certificates.

Specifies if revocation information should be checked for the root certificate.

IgnoreBadOCSPChains:   Whether to ignore bad OCSP chains during validation.

Whether to ignore bad OCSP chains during validation.

IgnoreCABasicConstraints:   Whether to ignore the Basic Constraints extension for the CA certificates.

Whether to ignore the Basic Constraints extension for the CA certificates.

IgnoreCAKeyUsage:   Whether to ignore Key Usage extension for CA certificates.

Whether to ignore Key Usage extension for CA certificates.

IgnoreCANameConstraints:   Whether to ignore the Name Constraints extension for the CA certificates.

Whether to ignore the Name Constraints extension for the CA certificates.

IgnoreOCSPNoCheckExtension:   Whether OCSP NoCheck extension should be ignored.

Set this property to false to make the validation engine ignore the OCSP no-check extension. You would normally need to set this property when validating severely non-compliant chains that misuse the extension, causing chain loops or other validation issues.

IgnoreRevocationKeyUsage:   Whether to check the CA certs used to sign revocation info.

Whether the issuer (CA) certificates should be checked if their key usage extension (when available) allows using them to sign revocation information.

IgnoreSSLKeyUsage:   Whether to check the CA certs used in SSL/TLS.

Whether the issuer (CA) certificates should be checked if their key usage extension (when available) allows using these certificates in SSL protocol communications.

IgnoreSystemTrust:   Whether trusted Windows Certificate Stores should be treated as trusted.

Specifies whether, during chain validation, the component should respect the trust to CA certificates as configured in the operating system. In Windows this effectively defines whether the component should trust the certificates residing in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store.

If IgnoreSystemTrust is True, certificates residing in the trusted root store are treated as if they are known, rather than trusted. Only certificates provided via other means (such as TrustedCertificates property) are considered trusted.

ImplicitlyTrustSelfSignedCertificates:   Whether to trust self-signed certificates.

Set this property to True to implicitly trust all self-signed certificates.

LookupCRLByNameIfDPNotPresent:   Whether to look for implicit CRL Distribution Points.

Whether to look for implicit CRL Distribution Points (DPs) if no DPs are available.

PromoteLongOCSPResponses:   Whether long OCSP responses are requested.

Set this property to True to force the class to publish 'long' form of OCSP responses. Otherwise, only BasicOCSPResponse blobs are promoted.

RevocationMomentGracePeriod:   Grace period for revocation information propagation.

Use this property to specify the grace period (in seconds). Grace period allows the certificate revocation information to propagate through the revocation process.

SkipSubjectNameIfAltNameExists:   Whether to check CommonName if SubjectAltName is present.

RFC 6125 requires that the SubjectAltName (SAN) extension should be checked if it is present. In such case, SubjectName.CommonName (CN) should not be checked. This contradicts to some existing certificates where, for instance, CN contains "a.com" and SAN is "www.a.com".

UseMicrosoftCTL:   Enables or disables automatic use of Microsoft online certificate trust list.

Enable this property to make the chain validation module automatically look up missing CA certificates in the public Windows Update repository.

ValidateInvalidCertificates:   Whether to do all checks on invalid certificates.

If ValidateInvalidCertificates is True and certain certificate check determines that the certificate is not valid, further checks are done anyway. This allows to create a full validation report.

When ValidateInvalidCertificates is False and a certificate is found to be not valid, further checks of this certificate are not performed.

WeakAlgorithmHandlingMode:   How to handle certificates signed with a 'weak' hash algorithm.

Defines how to handle the certificates signed using a 'weak' hash algorithm.

Supported values: wahmIgnore = 0 wahmWarning = 1 wahmError = 2

DefDeriveKeyIterations:   Specifies the default key derivation algorithm iteration count.

This global property sets the default number of iterations for all supported key derivation algorithms. Note that you can provide the required number of iterations by using properties of the relevant key generation component; this global setting is used in scenarios where specific iteration count is not or cannot be provided.

EnableClientSideSSLFFDHE:   Enables or disables finite field DHE key exchange support in TLS clients.

This global property enables or disables support for finite field DHE key exchange methods in TLS clients. FF DHE is a slower algorithm if compared to EC DHE; enabling it may result in slower connections.

This setting only applies to sessions negotiated with TLS version 1.3.

GlobalCookies:   Gets or sets global cookies for all the HTTP transports.

Use this property to get cookies from the GLOBAL cookie storage or restore them back between application sessions. These cookies will be used by all the classes that have its CookieCaching property set to "global".
