New app_config settings
Setting | Description |
---|---|
SecureCommunication | Boolean value that when true, will look for a certificate. |
UseLocalCertificate | Boolean value that when true, reads a certificate from a machine/user store. NB: Only needed when SecureCommunication is set to true. |
TrustedServers | Array value that contains a list of trusted server instances. |
Deprecated app_config settings
Setting | Description |
---|---|
ServerCertificates | Whitelist of server certificate Thumbprints |
TrustedServers
replaces the deprecated app_config settingServerCertificates
.- The
TrustedServers
value now contains one or more public keys extracted from certificates, rather than including the entire certificate along with its private key. - This new approach uses public keys to get the necessary thumbprint, thereby enhancing its security.
New methods
WithExtraData()
- Assigns a dictionary containing additional signature data. ReplacesWithHash()
.WithPublicKey()
- replacesWithCertificate()
.
Deprecated methods
WithHash()
- sends a single hashed value containing additional signature data. Replaced byWithExtraData()
.WithCertificate()
- new method isWithPublicKey()
.
-
WithExtraData()
improves uponWithHash()
by being able to include multiple pieces of data within the signature, rather that a single piece of data. -
Rather than relying on a raw base64-encoded string as in
WithCertificate()
,WithPublicKey()
now uses public keys to verify and trust server instances, enhancing security and simplifying the verification process.
