TrustedRoots

If set to a file path, this property logs the LastErrorText of each Chilkat method or property call to the specified file. This logging helps identify the context and history of Chilkat calls leading up to any crash or hang, aiding in debugging.

Enabling the VerboseLogging property provides more detailed information. This property is mainly used for debugging rare instances where a Chilkat method call causes a hang or crash, which should generally not happen.

Possible causes of hangs include:

• A timeout property set to 0, indicating an infinite timeout.
• A hang occurring within an event callback in the application code.
• An internal bug in the Chilkat code causing the hang.

This property is mainly used in SQL Server stored procedures to retrieve binary data from the last method call that returned binary data. It is only accessible if Chilkat.Global.KeepBinaryResult is set to 1. This feature allows for the retrieval of large varbinary results in an SQL Server environment, which has restrictions on returning large data via method calls, though temp tables can handle binary properties.

Provides HTML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

Provides plain text information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

Provides XML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

Indicates the success or failure of the most recent method call: 1 means success, 0 means failure. This property remains unchanged by property setters or getters. This method is present to address challenges in checking for null or Nothing returns in certain programming languages.

In SQL Server stored procedures, this property holds the string return value of the most recent method call that returns a string. It is accessible only when Chilkat.Global.KeepStringResult is set to TRUE. SQL Server has limitations on string lengths returned from methods and properties, but temp tables can be used to access large strings.

The length, in characters, of the string contained in the LastStringResult property.

The number of certificates contained within this object.

This is the number of certificates explicitly added by the methods AddCert, AddJavaKeyStore, and LoadCaCertsPem.

Indicates whether all self-signed certificates are to be rejected in SSL/TLS connections. The default value of this property is 0.

Note: This is for the case where the server certificate chain of authentication is 1 certificate long (i.e. the TLS server certificate itself is self-signed).

Indicates whether the operating system's CA root certificates are automatically trusted.

On a Windows operating system, this would be the registry-based CA certificate stores. On a Linux system, this could be /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt, if it exists. The default value is 1. Set this property equal to 0 to prevent Chilkat from automatically trusting system-provided root CA certificates.

If set to 1, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is 0. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.

Version of the component/library, such as "10.1.0"

Activates this collection of trusted roots as the set of CA and self-signed root certificates that are to be trusted Chilkat-wide for PKCS7 signature validation and SSL/TLS server certificate validation.

Adds a certificate to the collection of trusted roots.

Adds the trusted certificates from a Java key store to the collection of trusted roots.

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

Creates an asynchronous task to call the AddJavaKeyStore method with the arguments provided.

Note: Async method event callbacks happen in the background thread. Accessing and updating UI elements existing in the main thread may require special considerations.

Returns Nothing on failure

Returns in cert the Nth cert contained within this object. The 1st certificate is at index 0.

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

Deactivates a previous set of activated trusted roots so that all roots / self-signed certificates are implicitly trusted.

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

Loads a CA bundle in PEM format. This is a file containing CA root certificates that are to be trusted. An example of one such file is the CA certs from mozilla.org exported to a cacert.pem file by the mk-ca-bundle tool located here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html.

Note: This can also be called to load the /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt file on Linux systems.

Creates an asynchronous task to call the LoadCaCertsPem method with the arguments provided.

Note: Async method event callbacks happen in the background thread. Accessing and updating UI elements existing in the main thread may require special considerations.

Returns Nothing on failure

Loads the caller of the task's async method.

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

Enables a method call to be aborted by triggering the AbortCheck event at intervals defined by the HeartbeatMs property. If HeartbeatMs is set to its default value of 0, no events will occur. For instance, set HeartbeatMs to 200 to trigger 5 AbortCheck events per second.

VB6 Event callback implementation:

Important: Event callbacks from asynchronous method calls are generally not possible from the ActiveX. See VB6 Event Callbacks

Dim WithEvents myTrustedroots As ChilkatTrustedRoots

Private Sub myTrustedroots_AbortCheck(abort As Long)

	'Insert application code here.

End Sub

This provides the percentage completion for any method involving network communications or time-consuming processing, assuming the progress can be measured as a percentage. This event is triggered only when it's possible and logical to express the operation's progress as a percentage. The pctDone argument will range from 1 to 100. For methods that finish quickly, the number of PercentDone callbacks may vary, but the final callback will have pctDone equal to 100. For longer operations, callbacks will not exceed one per percentage point (e.g., 1, 2, 3, ..., 98, 99, 100).

The PercentDone callback also acts as an AbortCheck event. For fast methods where PercentDone fires, an AbortCheck event may not trigger since the PercentDone callback already provides an opportunity to abort. For longer operations, where time between PercentDone callbacks is extended, AbortCheck callbacks enable more responsive operation termination.

To abort the operation, set the abort output argument to 1. This will cause the method to terminate and return a failure status or corresponding failure value.

This event callback provides tag name/value pairs that detail what occurs during a method call. To discover existing tag names, create code to handle the event, emit the pairs, and review them. Most tag names are self-explanatory.

This method is deprecated. Applications should instead call CertAt.

Returns the Nth cert contained within this object. The 1st certificate is at index 0.

Returns Nothing on failure
