OCSPManager Component
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The OCSPManager component enables the import, export, and management of OCSP responses.
Syntax
nsoftware.SecureBlackbox.Ocspmanager
Remarks
OCSP is a protocol that allows you to verify a certificate's status in real-time, without using Certificate Revocation Lists (CRL).
An OCSP response is a response of the OCSP server to the client's request. As a minimum, it indicates the processing status of the prior request.

Syntax
public CertificateList KnownCertificates { get; }
Public Property KnownCertificates As CertificateList
Remarks
Use this property to supply a list of additional certificates that might be needed for chain validation. An example of a scenario where you might want to do that is when intermediary CA certificates are absent from the standard system locations (or when there are no standard system locations), and therefore should be supplied to the component manually.
The purpose of certificates to be added to this collection is roughly equivalent to that of Intermediate Certification Authorities system store in Windows.
Do not add trust anchors or root certificates to this collection: add them to TrustedCertificates instead.
This property is not available at design time.
KnownCRLs Property (OCSPManager Component)
Additional CRLs for chain validation.

Syntax
public OCSPResponseList KnownOCSPs { get; }

The purpose of this certificate collection is largely the same than that of Windows Trusted Root Certification Authorities system store.
Use this property with extreme care as it directly affects chain verifiability; a wrong certificate added to the trusted list may result in bad chains being accepted, and forfeited signatures being recognized as genuine. Only add certificates that originate from the parties that you know and trust.
This property is not available at design time.
Config Method (OCSPManager Component)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
Remarks
Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the component.
These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, 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.

RevocationCheck RevocationCheckKinds |
Specifies the kind(s) of revocation check to perform. Revocation checking is necessary to ensure the integrity of the chain and obtain up-to-date certificate validity and trustworthiness information.
This setting controls the way the revocation checks are performed. Typically certificates come with two types of revocation information sources: CRL (certificate revocation lists) and OCSP responders. CRLs are static objects periodically published by the CA at some online location. OCSP responders are active online services maintained by the CA that can provide up-to-date information on certificate statuses in near real time. There are some conceptual differences between the two. CRLs are normally larger in size. Their use involves some latency because there is normally some delay between the time when a certificate was revoked and the time the subsequent CRL mentioning that is published. The benefits of CRL is that the same object can provide statuses for all certificates issued by a particular CA, and that the whole technology is much simpler than OCSP (and thus is supported by more CAs). This setting lets you adjust the validation course by including or excluding certain types of revocation sources from the validation process. The crcAnyOCSPOrCRL setting (give preference to faster OCSP route and only demand one source to succeed) is a good choice for most of typical validation environments. The "crcAll*" modes are much stricter, and may be used in scenarios where bulletproof validity information is essential. |

Config Settings (OCSPManager Component)
The component 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 component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.OCSPManager Config Settings
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. |
|
TolerateMinorChainIssues:
Whether to tolerate minor chain issues.This parameter controls whether the chain validator should tolerate minor technical issues when validating the chain. Those are:
|
|
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. | |
UseSystemCertificates: Enables or disables the use of the system certificates.Use this property to tell chain validation module automatically look up missing CA certificates in the system certificates. In many cases it is beneficial to switch this property on, as the operating system certificate configuration provides a representative trust framework. |
Base Config Settings
CheckKeyIntegrityBeforeUse:
Enables or disable private key integrity check before use.This global property enables or disables private key material check before each signing operation. This slows down performance a bit,
but prevents a selection of attacks on RSA keys where keys with unknown origins are used.
You can switch this property off to improve performance if your project only uses known, good private keys. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
MaxASN1BufferLength: Specifies the maximal allowed length for ASN.1 primitive tag data.This global property limits the maximal allowed length for ASN.1 tag data for non-content-carrying structures, such as certificates, CRLs, or timestamps. It does not affect structures that can carry content, such as CMS/CAdES messages. This is a security property aiming at preventing DoS attacks. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
MaxASN1TreeDepth: Specifies the maximal depth for processed ASN.1 trees.This global property limits the maximal depth of ASN.1 trees that the component can handle without throwing an error. This is a security property aiming at preventing DoS attacks. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

If StaticDNS of the component is set to "local", the property returns/restores the rules from/to the internal storage of the component. If StaticDNS of the component is set to "global", the property returns/restores the rules from/to the GLOBAL storage. The rules list is returned and accepted in JSON format. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Tag: Allows to store any custom data.Use this config property to store any custom data. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
UseOwnDNSResolver: Specifies whether the client components should use own DNS resolver.Set this global property to false to force all the client components to use the DNS resolver provided by the target OS instead of using own one. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
UseSharedSystemStorages: Specifies whether the validation engine should use a global per-process copy of the system certificate stores.Set this global property to false to make each validation run use its own copy of system certificate stores. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
