CertBytes Property (SecureBlackbox_SSHKeyManager Class)

Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getCertBytes();

Procedural Interface

secureblackbox_sshkeymanager_get($res, 1 );

Remarks

Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

Byte Array

CertCA Property (SecureBlackbox_SSHKeyManager Class)

Indicates whether the certificate has a CA capability.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getCertCA();


public function setCertCA($value);

Procedural Interface

secureblackbox_sshkeymanager_get($res, 2 );


secureblackbox_sshkeymanager_set($res, 2, $value );

Default Value

false

Remarks

Indicates whether the certificate has a CA capability. For the certificate to be considered a CA, it must have its Basic Constraints extension set with the CA indicator enabled.

Set this property when generating a new certificate to have its Basic Constraints extension generated automatically.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Boolean

CertCAKeyID Property (SecureBlackbox_SSHKeyManager Class)

A unique identifier (fingerprint) of the CA certificate's cryptographic key.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getCertCAKeyID();

Procedural Interface

secureblackbox_sshkeymanager_get($res, 3 );

Remarks

A unique identifier (fingerprint) of the CA certificate's cryptographic key.

Authority Key Identifier is a certificate extension which allows identification of certificates belonging to the same issuer, but with different public keys. It is a de-facto standard to include this extension in all certificates to facilitate chain building.

This setting cannot be set when generating a certificate as it always derives from another certificate property. CertificateManager generates this setting automatically if enough information is available to it: for self-signed certificates, this value is copied from the CertSubjectKeyID setting, and for lower-level certificates, from the parent certificate's subject key ID extension.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

Byte Array

CertCertType Property (SecureBlackbox_SSHKeyManager Class)

Returns the type of the entity contained in the Certificate object.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getCertCertType();

Procedural Interface

secureblackbox_sshkeymanager_get($res, 4 );

Default Value

0

Remarks

Returns the type of the entity contained in the Certificate object.

A Certificate object can contain two types of cryptographic objects: a ready-to-use X.509 certificate, or a certificate request ("an unsigned certificate"). Certificate requests can be upgraded to full certificates by signing them with a CA certificate.

Use the CertificateManager class to load or create new certificate and certificate requests objects.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

Integer

secureblackbox_sshkeymanager_set($res, 5, $value );

Default Value

''

Remarks

Contains a list of locations of CRL distribution points used to check this certificate's validity. The list is taken from the respective certificate extension.

Use this property when generating a certificate to provide a list of CRL endpoints that should be made part of the new certificate.

The endpoints are provided as a list of CRLF-separated URLs. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the location separator.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

CertCurve Property (SecureBlackbox_SSHKeyManager Class)

Specifies the elliptic curve associated with the certificate's public key.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getCertCurve();

Object Oriented Interface

public function getCertFriendlyName();

Procedural Interface

secureblackbox_sshkeymanager_get($res, 8 );

Default Value

''

Remarks

Contains an associated alias (friendly name) of the certificate. The friendly name is not a property of a certificate: it is maintained by the certificate media rather than being included in its DER representation. Windows certificate stores are one example of media that does support friendly names.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

String

CertHandle Property (SecureBlackbox_SSHKeyManager Class)

Allows to get or set a 'handle', a unique identifier of the underlying property object.
