The SSHClient class provides client-side SSH protocol functionality.

Syntax

class secureblackbox.SSHClient

Remarks

Use SSHClient to establish terminal-like connections to remote systems and run commands remotely. The component supports most of third-party implementations out there, and is capable of working in "shell" and "command" modes.

Start with assigning your sign-in credentials to username and password properties. Where public key authentication is to be used, assign your private authentication key to key property (remember to set username in this case too). Subscribe to events to be notified of the session progress. on_auth_failed, on_auth_succeeded, and on_connect are among those particularly useful.

Special attention should be paid to setting up the server key trust. Class only allows connections to servers whose public keys are recognized as trusted, much like any other SSH clients do. Assign a path to the file containing the list of trusted keys to trusted_keys_file property. If you don't have such file, or if you would like to make trust decisions on the fly, subscribe to on_known_key_received and on_unknown_key_received events. These are fired whenever a trusted or untrusted key is received from the server. For unknown/untrusted keys, you need to set the Action parameter in your on_unknown_key_received event handler to catAcceptOnce (1) or catAcceptPermanently (2) for the connection to proceed.

Once you are all set up, you can go ahead by calling the connect method. This launches the SSH handshake and, if everything has been set up right, establishes a connection to the server. You can now use send and receive methods to exchange information with the server. You can exchange data in synchronous or asynchronous way; see the description in async_mode topic to learn more about each mode.

When you are done with the session, call disconnect to shut the connection down.

Hint: If you are only interested in a quick-and-dirty execution of a simple, non-interactive command, SSHClient offers a handy shortcut. connect_and_exec method is a self-contained mechanism which sets up a connection, performs the data exchange internally, and returns the command output. Please keep in mind that you still need to set up the server trust settings as described above for this method to work.

async_mode Property

Controls the SSH clients mode of work.

Syntax

def get_async_mode() -> bool: ...
def set_async_mode(value: bool) -> None: ...

async_mode = property(get_async_mode, set_async_mode)

Default Value

FALSE

Remarks

This property defines the way in which the class communicates with the application/user code. async_mode set to false makes the component use synchronous single-thread approach. Synchronous mode is generally simpler to integrate and use, but please keep in mind that the calls like connect, receive or send_bytes may block until their execution completes. In asyncronous mode all operations return immediately, but more care should be taken about handling them in your code properly.

Here are a few highlights of each mode.

Synchronous mode:

  • All operations are performed within the caller thread context
  • Operations like connect or send_bytes may block
  • Use poll to check for the availability of data before reading it out with receive or receive_bytes
  • Return of a call guarantees completion of the operation
  • Connection errors are reported straight from the methods via exceptions

Asynchronous mode:

  • All operations are performed in a separate thread (and so are the event calls!)
  • Methods like send return immediately
  • Use on_data_sent and on_data_received events to be notified about actual data transmissions
  • Return of call only marks the beginning of the operation and does not guarantee its successful completion
  • Connection errors are reported via on_error event, often followed by on_disconnect.

Please note that this is a very important and sensitive property, which has a wide-scale effect on the way the SSH client works and co-operates with the application. Depending on the value assigned to this setting you may need to work with the component very differently.

When setting this property to true, please make sure that your code is prepared to handle events coming from the context of a different thread.

Syntax

def get_external_crypto_key_id() -> str: ...
def set_external_crypto_key_id(value: str) -> None: ...

external_crypto_key_id = property(get_external_crypto_key_id, set_external_crypto_key_id)

Default Value

""

Remarks

The ID of the pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.

Asynchronous DCAuth-driven communication requires that parties authenticate each other with a secret pre-shared cryptographic key. This provides an extra protection layer for the protocol and diminishes the risk of the private key becoming abused by foreign parties. Use this property to provide the pre-shared key identifier, and use external_crypto_key_secret to pass the key itself.

The same KeyID/KeySecret pair should be used on the DCAuth side for the signing requests to be accepted.

Note: The KeyID/KeySecret scheme is very similar to the AuthKey scheme used in various Cloud service providers to authenticate users.

Example: signer.ExternalCrypto.KeyID = "MainSigningKey"; signer.ExternalCrypto.KeySecret = "abcdef0123456789";

external_crypto_key_secret Property

The pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.

Syntax

def get_external_crypto_key_secret() -> str: ...

config Method

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

def config(configuration_string: str) -> str: ...

Remarks

config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These 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.

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.

connect Method

Establishes connection to an SSH server.

Syntax

def connect(address: str, port: int) -> None: ...

Remarks

Use this method to connect to the SSH server by providing its Address and Port.

Before connecting to the server you might want to set up your credentials using username and password properties. You might also need to configure the server key validation routine. You can do this by subscribing to on_known_key_received and on_unknown_key_received events and implementing the event handlers as required.

Adjust async_mode before connecting to switch the component to either synchronous or asynchronous mode. In synchronous mode, all the calls to the component, such as connect or send_bytes, are executed within the context of the caller thread, and block until the action completes. In asynchronous mode, the component runs the SSH session in a background thread, which makes all such calls return immediately. Find out more about the modes in the async_mode topic.

connect_and_exec Method

Connects to an SSH server and executes a command in one go.

Syntax

def connect_and_exec(address: str, port: int, command: str, want_stdout: bool, want_std_err: bool) -> bytes: ...

Remarks

Use this method to connect to an SSH server at Address and Port and execute a command. The method returns the output of the executed command.

This method is a handy shortcut for running non-interactive commands. It encapsulates calls to connect, receive, disconnect internally to save you time and space.

Please note that connect_and_exec always runs synchronously, thus ignoring the async_mode setting.

disconnect Method

Closes connection to the SSH server.

Syntax

def disconnect() -> None: ...

Remarks

Call this method to terminate the active SSH connection.

Please note that in some cases the component may still have some inbound data cached internally even after the connection is closed. You can read that data out using receive and/or receive_bytes methods.

do_action Method

Performs an additional action.

Syntax

def do_action(action_id: str, action_params: str) -> str: ...

Remarks

do_action is a generic method available in every class. It is used to perform an additional action introduced after the product major release. The list of actions is not fixed, and may be flexibly extended over time.

The unique identifier (case insensitive) of the action is provided in the ActionID parameter.

ActionParams contains the value of a single parameter, or a list of multiple parameters for the action in the form of PARAM1=VALUE1;PARAM2=VALUE2;....

Common ActionIDs:

ActionParametersReturned valueDescription
ResetTrustedListCachenonenoneClears the cached list of trusted lists.
ResetCertificateCachenonenoneClears the cached certificates.
ResetCRLCachenonenoneClears the cached CRLs.
ResetOCSPResponseCachenonenoneClears the cached OCSP responses.

ping Method

Sends a keep-alive request to the SSH server.

Syntax

def ping() -> None: ...

Remarks

Use this method to send a keep-alive message to the SSH server. Keep-alive messages are empty data packets which carry no useful information but are a handy way of checking if the connection is still alive.

poll Method

Checks whether there is any inbound data readily available.

Syntax

def poll(milliseconds: int) -> bool: ...

Remarks

Use this method to check whether there is any incoming data available in the connection. If this method returns true, you can read the data with receive or receive_bytes calls.

Use the Milliseconds parameter to tell the component how long it can wait for the data to arrive.

receive Method

Reads a portion of received data into a string.

Syntax

def receive() -> str: ...

Remarks

Use this method to read out a piece of data received from the server into a string.

Note that in synchronous mode this method may block in the absence of any inbound data until the next piece of data is received from the server. Use poll to check if there is any data in the connection that is immediately available for reading.

In asynchronous mode a good time to call this method is upon receiving a read notification in on_data_received event handler. When working in asynchronous mode, this call returns immediately.

This method only returns data that arrives via the stdout channel. Use receive_from to read stderr data.

receive_bytes Method

Reads a portion of received data into a byte array.

Syntax

def receive_bytes(max_len: int) -> bytes: ...

Remarks

Use this method to read out a piece of data received from the server into a byte array. Control the maximum length of the data chunk with the MaxLen parameter.

Note that in synchronous mode this method may block in the absence of any inbound data until the next piece of data is received from the server. Use poll to check if there is any data in the connection that is immediately available for reading.

In asynchronous mode a good time to call this method is upon receiving a read notification in on_data_received event handler. When working in asynchronous mode, this call returns immediately.

This method only returns data that arrives via the stdout channel. Use receive_bytes_from to read stderr data.

receive_bytes_from Method

Reads a portion of data received via a specific channel into a byte array.

Syntax

def receive_bytes_from(channel: int, max_len: int) -> bytes: ...

Remarks

Use this method to read out a piece of data received from the server into a byte array. Specify the channel that you are interested in reading from (0 for stdout, 1 for stderr) via the Channel parameter, and control the maximum length of the data chunk with the MaxLen parameter.

Note that in synchronous mode this method may block in the absence of any inbound data until the next piece of data is received from the server. Use poll to check if there is any data in the connection that is immediately available for reading.

In asynchronous mode a good time to call this method is upon receiving a read notification in on_data_received event handler. When working in asynchronous mode, this call returns immediately.

Please also note that stdout and stderr channels are fully independent, which implies that data arriving via each channel should be read out separately.

receive_from Method

Reads a portion of data received via a specific channel into a string.

Syntax

def receive_from(channel: int) -> str: ...

Remarks

Use this method to read out a piece of data received from the server into a string. Use the Channel parameter to specify the channel that you would like to read from (0 for stdout, 1 for stderr).

Note that in synchronous mode this method may block in the absence of any inbound data until the next piece of data is received from the server. Use poll to check if there is any data in the connection that is immediately available for reading.

In asynchronous mode a good time to call this method is upon receiving a read notification in on_data_received event handler. When working in asynchronous mode, this call returns immediately.

reset Method

Resets the class settings.

Syntax

def reset() -> None: ...

Remarks

reset is a generic method available in every class.

send Method

Sends a string to the server.

Syntax

def send(data_str: str, add_eol: bool) -> None: ...

Remarks

Use this method to send DataStr to the remote command's stdin channel. Set the AddEOL parameter to true to append the end-of-line character to the string automatically.

Note that in synchronous mode this method may block until the whole string is commited to the network connection. In asynchronous mode this method returns immediately; the application is eventually notified that the data has been sent via the on_data_sent event.

send_bytes Method

Sends an array of bytes to the server.

Syntax

def send_bytes(data: bytes) -> None: ...

Remarks

Use this method to send Data to the remote command's stdin channel.

Note that in synchronous mode this method may block until the whole byte array is commited to the network connection. In asynchronous mode this method returns immediately; the application is eventually notified that the data has been sent via the on_data_sent event.

send_special Method

Sends a special character to the server or remote command.

Syntax

def send_special(special_char: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

Use this method to send a special or control character to the SSH server or the command being executed. Specify the character id via the SpecialChar parameter.

Currently the only supported special character is "eof", which is sometimes used as a way to close the stdin channel gracefully.

Remarks

Subscribe to this event to be notified about the outbound data flow. This event fires following a call to send or send_bytes methods to notify the application that the data provided has been sent to the server. This event may fire more than once for each send or send_bytes call, subject to the volume of data being sent and the settings of the server.

The BytesSent parameter specifies the number of bytes that has just been sent to the server. The BytesPending indicate the number of bytes that remain cached in the internal buffer. Any bytes cached in such way will be sent again on the next available opportunity and reported via a separate on_data_sent event invocation.

Please note that just like other asynchronous mode events this event may fire from a secondary thread. Please make sure your code is prepared for that by using appropriate synchronization facilities.

This event does not fire in synchronous mode.

The event handler must pass the value of Data to the signer, obtain the signature, and pass it back to the class via the SignedData parameter.

OperationId provides a comment about the operation and its origin. It depends on the exact class being used, and may be empty. HashAlgorithm specifies the hash algorithm being used for the operation, and Pars contains algorithm-dependent parameters.

The class uses base16 (hex) encoding for the Data, SignedData, and Pars parameters. If your signing engine uses a different input and output encoding, you may need to decode and/or encode the data before and/or after the signing.

A sample MD5 hash encoded in base16: a0dee2a0382afbb09120ffa7ccd8a152 - lower case base16 A0DEE2A0382AFBB09120FFA7CCD8A152 - upper case base16

A sample event handler that uses the .NET RSACryptoServiceProvider class may look like the following: signer.OnExternalSign += (s, e) => { var cert = new X509Certificate2("cert.pfx", "", X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable); var key = (RSACryptoServiceProvider)cert.PrivateKey; var dataToSign = e.Data.FromBase16String(); var signedData = key.SignHash(dataToSign, "2.16.840.1.101.3.4.2.1"); e.SignedData = signedData.ToBase16String(); };

The details of the key are provided: Algorithm and Bits specify the key algorithm and the number of bits. FingerprintSHA256 contains the key's fingerprint.

In this event handler, you need to make a decision whether to proceed with the connection. Use Action to tell the class what it should do with the key:

catAcceptOnce1Accept the key for the current session only.
catAcceptPermanently2Accept the key for the current session and store the key to the trusted keys list.
catReject3Reject the key and close the connection.
Note that accepting an unknown and unchecked key may be risky.

SSHClient Config Settings

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.

SSHClient Config Settings

AllAlgorithms:   Returns the list of algorithms enabled in the component.

Use this configuration setting to obtain the list of algorithms currently enabled in the component in the kexinit format.

BlockSize:   The data block size.

This property specifies the data block size to use.

CommandTimeout:   Specifies the command timeout.

Specifies the command timeout (the maximum time to expect the result from the SSH command), in milliseconds.

CompressionAlgorithms:   Returns the list of compression algorithms enabled in the component.

Use this configuration setting to get the list of compression algorithms currently enabled in the component, as a respective kexinit block line.

EarlyIdString:   Enables the proactive approach to SSH handshake.

The rule of thumb in the majority of SSH environments is for the server to initiate the handshake with its identification string (and for the client to respond). By setting this property to true you can tell the client to initiate the handshake by sending out the identification string proactively without waiting for the server to send one in. This setting may help in situations where your SSH or SFTP connection fails unexpectedly due to a timeout or network error.

EncryptionAlgorithms:   Returns the list of encryption algorithms enabled in the component.

Use this configuration setting to get the list of symmetric encryption algorithms currently enabled in the component, as a respective kexinit block line.

ErrorOrigin:   Specifies whether the error is local or remote.

Use this property to check where the error took place.

ErrorSeverity:   Specifies whether the error is fatal.

Use this property to check whether the error is fatal or not.

KexAlgorithms:   Returns the list of key exchange algorithms enabled in the component.

Use this configuration setting to get the list of key exchange algorithms currently enabled in the component, as a respective kexinit block line.

LocalCharset:   Charset used on the client machine.

This property specifies the charset used on the local client computer.

MacAlgorithms:   Returns the list of MAC algorithms enabled in the component.

Use this configuration setting to get the list of MAC algorithms currently enabled in the component, as a respective kexinit block line.

PublicKeyAlgorithms:   Returns the list of public key algorithms enabled in the component.

Use this configuration setting to get the list of public key algorithms currently enabled in the component, as a respective kexinit block line.

RemoteCharset:   Charset used on the server.

This property specifies the charset used on the server.

SendCommandEOF:   Defines whether EOF control character should be sent after the command data.

Enable this property to enforce sending of a trailing EOF character after the command data.

ThrottleControl:   Enables or disables throttle control for the connection.

Use this property to enable or disable throttle control.

UseStrictKeyExchange:   Specifies how strict key exchange is supported.

This setting controls whether strict key exchange (strict kex) is enabled to mitigate the Terrapin attack. When enabled, the class will indicate support for strict key exchange by automatically including the pseudo-algorithm kex-strict-c-v00@openssh.com for client classes and kex-strict-s-v00@openssh.com for server classes in the list of supported key exchange algorithms.

Since both client and server must implement strict key exchange to effectively mitigate the Terrapin attack, the class provides options to further control the behavior in different scenarios. Possible values for this setting are:

0Disabled. Strict key exchange is not supported in the class.
1 (default)Enabled, but not enforced. This setting enables strict key exchange, but if the remote host does not support strict key exchange the connection is still allowed to continue.
2Enabled, but reject affected algorithms if the remote host does not support strict key exchange. If the remote host supports strict key exchange all algorithms may be used. If the remote host does not support strict key exchange the connection will only continue if the selected encryption and MAC algorithms are not affected by the Terrapin attack.
3Required. If the remote host does not support strict key exchange the connection will fail.

Base Config Settings

ASN1UseGlobalTagCache:   Controls whether ASN.1 module should use a global object cache.

This is a performance setting. It is unlikely that you will ever need to adjust it.

AssignSystemSmartCardPins:   Specifies whether CSP-level PINs should be assigned to CNG keys.

This is a low-level tweak for certain cryptographic providers. It is unlikely that you will ever need to adjust it.

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.

CookieCaching:   Specifies whether a cookie cache should be used for HTTP(S) transports.

Set this property to enable or disable cookies caching for the class.

Supported values are:

offNo caching (default)
localLocal caching

Use this property to get cookies from the internal cookie storage of the class and/or restore them back between application sessions.

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.

DNSLocalSuffix:   The suffix to assign for TLD names.

Use this global setting to adjust the default suffix to assign to top-level domain names. The default is .local.

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

This global setting controls the hardware cryptography usage policy: auto, enable, or disable.

HttpUserAgent:   Specifies the user agent name to be used by all HTTP clients.

This global setting defines the User-Agent field of the HTTP request provides information about the software that initiates the request. This value will be used by all the HTTP clients including the ones used internally in other classes.

HttpVersion:   The HTTP version to use in any inner HTTP client components created.

Set this property to 1.0 or 1.1 to indicate the HTTP version that any internal HTTP clients should use.

IgnoreExpiredMSCTLSigningCert:   Whether to tolerate the expired Windows Update signing certificate.

It is not uncommon for Microsoft Windows Update Certificate Trust List to be signed with an expired Microsoft certificate. Setting this global property to true makes SBB ignore the expired factor and take the Trust List into account.

ListDelimiter:   The delimiter character for multi-element lists.

Allows to set the delimiter for any multi-entry values returned by the component as a string object, such as file lists. For most of the components, this property is set to a newline sequence.

Supported values are:

noneNone (by default)
fatalSevere errors that cause premature termination.
errorOther runtime errors or unexpected conditions.
warningUse of deprecated APIs, poor use of API, 'almost' errors, other runtime situations that are undesirable or unexpected, but not necessarily "wrong".
infoInteresting runtime events (startup/shutdown).
debugDetailed information on flow of through the system.
traceMore detailed information.

LogMaxEventCount:   Specifies the maximum number of events to cache before further action is taken.

Use this property to specify the log event number threshold. This threshold may have different effects, depending on the rotation setting and/or the flush mode.

The default value of this setting is 100.

LogRotationMode:   Specifies the log rotation mode.

Use this property to set the log rotation mode. The following values are defined:

deleteolderDelete older entries from the cache upon reaching LogMaxEventCount
keepolderKeep older entries in the cache upon reaching LogMaxEventCount (newer entries are discarded)

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.

OCSPHashAlgorithm:   Specifies the hash algorithm to be used to identify certificates in OCSP requests.

This global setting defines the hash algorithm to use in OCSP requests during chain validation. Some OCSP responders can only use older algorithms, in which case setting this property to SHA1 may be helpful.

OldClientSideRSAFallback:   Specifies whether the SSH client should use a SHA1 fallback.

Tells the SSH client to use a legacy ssh-rsa authentication even if the server indicates support for newer algorithms, such as rsa-sha-256. This is a backward-compatibility tweak.

PKICache:   Specifies which PKI elements (certificates, CRLs, OCSP responses) should be cached.

The PKICache setting specifies which Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) elements should be cached to optimize performance and reduce retrieval times. It supports comma-separated values to indicate the specific types of PKI data that should be cached.

Supported Values:

certificateEnables caching of certificates.
crlEnables caching of Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs).
ocspEnables caching of OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) responses.

Example (default value): PKICache=certificate,crl,ocsp In this example, the component caches certificates, CRLs, and OCSP responses.

PKICachePath:   Specifies the file system path where cached PKI data is stored.

The PKICachePath setting defines the file system path where cached PKI data (e.g., certificates, CRLs, OCSP responses and Trusted Lists) will be stored. This allows the system to persistently save and retrieve PKI cache data, even across application restarts.

The default value is an empty string - no cached PKI data is stored on disk.

Example: PKICachePath=C:\Temp\cache In this example, the cached PKI data is stored in the C:\Temp\cache directory.

ProductVersion:   Returns the version of the SecureBlackbox library.

This property returns the long version string of the SecureBlackbox library being used (major.minor.build.revision).

ServerSSLDHKeyLength:   Sets the size of the TLS DHE key exchange group.

Use this property to adjust the length, in bits, of the DHE prime to be used by the TLS server.

StaticDNS:   Specifies whether static DNS rules should be used.

Set this property to enable or disable static DNS rules for the class. Works only if UseOwnDNSResolver is set to true.

Supported values are:

noneNo static DNS rules (default)
localLocal static DNS rules
globalGlobal static DNS rules

StaticIPAddress[domain]:   Gets or sets an IP address for the specified domain name.

Use this property to get or set an IP address for the specified domain name in the internal (of the class) or global DNS rules storage depending on the StaticDNS value. The type of the IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) is determined automatically. If both addresses are available, they are devided by the | (pipe) character.

StaticIPAddresses:   Gets or sets all the static DNS rules.

Use this property to get static DNS rules from the current rules storage or restore them back between application sessions. If StaticDNS of the class is set to "local", the property returns/restores the rules from/to the internal storage of the class. If StaticDNS of the class 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.

TLSSessionGroup:   Specifies the group name of TLS sessions to be used for session resumption.

Use this property to limit the search of chached TLS sessions to the specified group. Sessions from other groups will be ignored. By default, all sessions are cached with an empty group name and available to all the classes.

TLSSessionLifetime:   Specifies lifetime in seconds of the cached TLS session.

Use this property to specify how much time the TLS session should be kept in the session cache. After this time, the session expires and will be automatically removed from the cache. Default value is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

TLSSessionPurgeInterval:   Specifies how often the session cache should remove the expired TLS sessions.

Use this property to specify the time interval of purging the expired TLS sessions from the session cache. Default value is 60 seconds (1 minute).

UseCRLObjectCaching:   Specifies whether reuse of loaded CRL objects is enabled.

This setting enables or disables the caching of CRL objects. When set to true (the default value), the system checks if a CRL object is already loaded in memory before attempting to load a new instance. If the object is found, the existing instance is reused, and its reference count is incremented to track its usage. When the reference count reaches zero, indicating that no references to the object remain, the system will free the object from memory. This setting enhances performance by minimizing unnecessary object instantiation and promotes efficient memory management, particularly in scenarios where CRL objects are frequently used.

UseInternalRandom:   Switches between SecureBlackbox-own and platform PRNGs.

Allows to switch between internal/native PRNG implementation and the one provided by the platform.

UseLegacyAdESValidation:   Enables legacy AdES validation mode.

Use this setting to switch the AdES component to the validation approach that was used in SBB 2020/SBB 2022 (less attention to temporal details).

UseOCSPResponseObjectCaching:   Specifies whether reuse of loaded OCSP response objects is enabled.

This setting enables or disables the caching of OCSP response objects. When set to true (the default value), the system checks if a OCSP response object is already loaded in memory before attempting to load a new instance. If the object is found, the existing instance is reused, and its reference count is incremented to track its usage. When the reference count reaches zero, indicating that no references to the object remain, the system will free the object from memory. This setting enhances performance by minimizing unnecessary object instantiation and promotes efficient memory management, particularly in scenarios where OCSP response objects are frequently used.

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.

UseSystemNativeSizeCalculation:   An internal CryptoAPI access tweak.

This is an internal setting. Please do not use it unless instructed by the support team.

UseSystemOAEPAndPSS:   Enforces or disables the use of system-driven RSA OAEP and PSS computations.

This global setting defines who is responsible for performing RSA-OAEP and RSA-PSS computations where the private key is stored in a Windows system store and is exportable. If set to true, SBB will delegate the computations to Windows via a CryptoAPI call. Otherwise, it will export the key material and perform the computations using its own OAEP/PSS implementation.

This setting only applies to certificates originating from a Windows system store.

UseSystemRandom:   Enables or disables the use of the OS PRNG.

Use this global property to enable or disable the use of operating system-driven pseudorandom number generation.

XMLRDNDescriptorName[OID]:   Defines an OID mapping to descriptor names for the certificate's IssuerRDN or SubjectRDN.

This property defines custom mappings between Object Identifiers (OIDs) and descriptor names. This mapping specifies how the certificate's issuer and subject information (ds:IssuerRDN and ds:SubjectRDN elements respectively) are represented in XML signatures.

The property accepts comma-separated values where the first descriptor name is used when the OID is mapped, and subsequent values act as aliases for parsing.

Syntax: Config("XMLRDNDescriptorName[OID]=PrimaryName,Alias1,Alias2");

Where:

OID: The Object Identifier from the certificate's IssuerRDN or SubjectRDN that you want to map.

PrimaryName: The main descriptor name used in the XML signature when the OID is encountered.

Alias1, Alias2, ...: Optional alternative names recognized during parsing.

Usage Examples:

Map OID 2.5.4.5 to SERIALNUMBER: Config("XMLRDNDescriptorName[2.5.4.5]=SERIALNUMBER");

Map OID 1.2.840.113549.1.9.1 to E, with aliases EMAIL and EMAILADDRESS: Config("XMLRDNDescriptorName[1.2.840.113549.1.9.1]=E,EMAIL,EMAILADDRESS");

XMLRDNDescriptorPriority[OID]:   Specifies the priority of descriptor names associated with a specific OID.

This property specifies the priority of descriptor names associated with a specific OID that allows to reorder descriptors in the ds:IssuerRDN and ds:SubjectRDN elements during signing.

XMLRDNDescriptorReverseOrder:   Specifies whether to reverse the order of descriptors in RDN.

Specifies whether to reverse the order of descriptors in the ds:IssuerRDN and ds:SubjectRDN elements during XML signing. By default, this property is set to true (as specified in RFC 2253, 2.1).

XMLRDNDescriptorSeparator:   Specifies the separator used between descriptors in RDN.

Specifies the separator used between descriptors in the ds:IssuerRDN and ds:SubjectRDN elements during XML signing. By default, this property is set to ", " value.
