Starting with the v10.0.0 release (end of September 2024), Chilkat moves to standard semantic versioning. Prior to this release, for various technical reasons, Chilkat was stuck with versions 9.5.0.xx, where only xx changed. For this first leap to semantic versioning, where the major version changes to 10 (from 9), there are no backward incompatible changes. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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’. (JWE): ‘EncodedProtectedHeader.EncodedEncryptedKey.EncodedInitializationVector.EncodedCiphertext.EncodedAuthenticationTag’.”, “innerError”: { “date”: “2024-05-13T15:26:14”, “request-id”: “…”, “client-request-id”: […]
(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 PEPPOL test server at api.ixordocs-stg.com requires the “User-Agent” header field to be present. For example, a GET request to /v1/peppol/status is successful if the User-Agent header is present, and the returned response is: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 09 May 2024 12:28:34 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 42 Connection: keep-alive x-amzn-RequestId: **** access-control-allow-origin: * […]
In the distant past, there were some Chilkat classes that had a few ad-hoc Async methods and properties. For example, the Ftp2 class contained the methods AsyncPutFileStart, AsyncGetFileStart, AsyncAppendFileStart, and properties such as AsyncFinished, AsyncSuccess, and AsyncLog. A number of years ago, these were replaced with a consistent and standard async model that applies to […]
A Chilkat customer signed a PDF using the Chilkat API. There were no errors, and the output PDF seemed to be signed. Using the Chilkat API to verify the signed PDF was also successful. Chilkat could see the signature and validated it successfully. However, the signature in the signed PDF could not be seen in […]
If signing XML fails with the following message in the LastErrorText: … Doing first SAX parse… checkAllReferencesFound: passNumber: 1 reference: Did not find same-document Reference Id referenceId: id-1234567890 –reference –checkAllReferencesFound … It means there was no XML element in the XML you were trying to sign that has an Id attribute with the given value.
