TElCustomSimpleSSLClient.OnCertificateValidate event

TElCustomSimpleSSLClient.OnCertificateValidate

This event is fired when the server certificate must be validated.

    void set_OnCertificateValidate(TSBCertificateValidateEvent|callable|NULL $Value)
    callable TSBCertificateValidateEvent(TObject $Sender, TElX509Certificate $X509Certificate, integer &$Validity, integer &$Reason)

[Java]
    TSBCertificateValidateEvent getOnCertificateValidate();
    void setOnCertificateValidate(TSBCertificateValidateEvent Value);
    TSBCertificateValidateEvent.Callback OnCertificateValidate = new TSBCertificateValidateEvent.Callback() {
        public void TSBCertificateValidateEventCallback(TObject Sender, TElX509Certificate X509Certificate, TElX509CertificateValidateResult Res) {
            //...
        }
    }

Parameters

X509Certificate - the certificate to be validated.
Validity - specifies the certificate validity status.
Reason - specifies validity reason.
Res - [Java] References an instance of the object, which contains Validity and Reason properties.

TSBCertificateValidity values

[.NET] [C++]	[Pascal]	Description
cvOk = 0	cvOk	Certificate was validated successfully and is valid
cvSelfSigned = 1	cvSelfSigned	Certificate is self signed
cvInvalid = 2	cvInvalid	Certificate is invalid
cvStorageError = 3	cvStorageError	Certificate was not validated due to certificate storage error
cvChainUnvalidated = 4	cvChainUnvalidated	Certificate chain was not validated because while the certificate itself is valid, one or more of CA Certificates in the chain have validation problems

TSBCertificateValidityReason values

[.NET]	[Pascal]	[C++]	Description
vrBadData = 1	vrBadData	f_vrBadData = 1	Invalid certificate format or certificate is corrupted
vrRevoked = 2	vrRevoked	f_vrRevoked = 2	Certificate is revoked by Issuer
vrNotYetValid = 4	vrNotYetValid	f_vrNotYetValid = 4	Certificate is not valid yet
vrExpired = 8	vrExpired	f_vrExpired = 8	Certificate is expired
vrInvalidSignature = 16	vrInvalidSignature	f_vrInvalidSignature = 16	Certificate contains invalid digital signature, it could be corrupted
vrUnknownCA = 32	vrUnknownCA	f_vrUnknownCA = 32	Issuer (CA) certificate was not found.
vrCAUnauthorized = 64	vrCAUnauthorized	f_vrCAUnauthorized = 64	Issuer (CA) certificate was found but its key usage fields don't allow use of this certificate for signing other certificates.
vrCRLNotVerified = 128	vrCRLNotVerified	f_vrCRLNotVerified = 128	Certificate Revocation List for this certificate could not be retrieved and/or validated.
vrOCSPNotVerified = 256	vrOCSPNotVerified	f_vrOCSPNotVerified = 256	OCSP response for this certificate could not be retrieved and/or validated.
vrIdentityMismatch = 512	vrIdentityMismatch	f_vrIdentityMismatch = 512	Provided certificate doesn't include the specified name and / or IP address. Either the remote side in TLS or sender in S/MIME is misconfigured, or the certificate is misused by the remote side or sender, or authenticity of the remote side or sender is forged.
vrNoKeyUsage = 1024	vrNoKeyUsage	f_vrNoKeyUsage = 1024	Provided certificate may not be used for chosen activity (identifying TLS server or client or S/MIME message sender)
vrBlocked = 2048	vrBlocked	f_vrBlocked = 2048	Provided certificate has been found in the list of blocked certificates
vrFailure = 4096	vrFailure	f_vrFailure = 4096	Validation took too long, aborted
vrChainLoop = 8192	vrChainLoop	f_vrChainLoop = 8192	Certificate chain includes a loop. Further validation is not possible.
vrWeakAlgorithm = 16384	vrWeakAlgorithm	f_vrWeakAlgorithm = 16384	One of certificates is signed using the weak hash algorithm

Description

This event is fired by TElSimpleSSLClient when the negotiated protocol offers the client to validate the server's certificate, starting from the root CA to the end-entity certificate. One can check whether the certificate is an end-entity one via the certificate's Chain property. Use methods of the TElX509CertificateValidator class to perform the certificate validation.
This event handler is a good place for calling InternalValidate().
