There’s confusion about the OAuth2 scope required to send email via GMAIL. There are two ways to programmatically send email using your GMail account: Connecting to smtp.gmail.com using the SMTP protocol (i.e. using Chilkat.MailMan) Calling the GMail REST API over HTTPS using Chilkat.Http or Chilkat.Rest. The scope for IMAP, POP, and SMTP access is https://mail.google.com/ See https://developers.google.com/gmail/imap/xoauth2-protocol If your […]
Question: How is it possible to get the validation link for MyInvois? Answer: See the information here: https://sdk.myinvois.hasil.gov.my/faq/#how-to-get-validation-link-and-generate-qr-code “The QR code (quick response code) can be generated from the validation link using any QR code generator. The validation link can be created using the format below: {envbaseurl}/uuid-of-document/share/longid The {envbaseurl} will need to be replaced with e-Invoice portal Base URL. The […]

This post is to record collected information about EuroCert cloud signing. It seems EuroCert provides a PKCS11 driver DLL for Windows: ECSPKCS11.dll. Question: Does this driver DLL communicate with the EuroCert servers to do the signing in the Cloud? (i.e. where the hash to be signed is sent via some REST API to a EuroCert server to be signed by […]
Previous Version: https://cknotes.com/chilkat-v9-5-0-98-release-notes/ Next Version: https://cknotes.com/chilkat-v10-0-0-release-notes/ Chilkat v9.5.0.99 Release Notes Ssh, SFtp, SshTunnel: Added the SetAllowedAlgorithms method. This allows an application to explicitly set the set of allowed connection algorithms (cipher, mac, key exchange, etc.). Note: It’s best to NOT explicitly set the algorithms. Chilkat already prioritizes algorithms according to security and other factors. By explicitly setting algorithms, you may […]
Beginning September 30, 2024: third-party apps that use only a password to access Google Accounts and Google Sync will no longer be supported See https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2023/09/winding-down-google-sync-and-less-secure-apps-support.html Does this mean “App Passwords” will be discontinued? I don’t think so, but I’m not 100% sure. Google did not explicitly clarify. The reason I think App Passwords will still be a valid authentication mechanism, […]
The EVOLIUM REDTRUST CSP is not capable of signing a non-hash. In other words, it’s not possible to do TLS 1.2 with client certificates with the RedTrust KSP. This is a common problem in CSP/KSP implementations. They assume that everything to be signed is a hash, such as SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, and require the hash algorithm to be specified […]
Chilkat is working on making it easy to produce B-LTA level signatures. However, it has come to our attention that some CRL’s can be large, and a server handling requests at the CRL distribution point can be very slow. For example, the CRL at http://ca.mup.gov.rs/MUPGradjaniCA4.crl is almost 25MB in size, and the server (ca.mup.gov.rs) is very slow. It takes more […]
Question: When I try to send: Set resp = http.PostJson2(“https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/sendMail”,”application/json”,json.Emit()) I am getting this response: { “error”: { “code”: “InvalidAuthenticationToken”, “message”: “IDX14100: JWT is not well formed, there are no dots (.). The token needs to be in JWS or JWE Compact Serialization Format. (JWS): ‘EncodedHeader.EndcodedPayload.EncodedSignature’.

(Questions paraphrased and published here with prior permission from the user.) Question 1 Our application is file-server based which can be accessed by multiple users over LAN. Quite likely, there will be multiple users and/or applications submitting their e-invoices. Can one certificate file be shared and used by multiple applications? What are the differences between the two certificate types and […]
