Loading of Aloaha CSP API

As mentioned before we will use the "in process" modell for our samples. The OOP model is identically except the object name itself.

After creating the object the function info should be called an a value > 0 should be returned.

For example:

On Error Resume Next

Dim ACSP

Set ACSP = CreateObject("AloahaCSPCore.provider")

If ACSP.info>0 Then
     If err.number=0 Then
          MsgBox "Aloaha CSP API loaded"
     End If
End If


Set ACSP = nothing


Disconnect

To disconnect all card readers and flush the internal caches please call the disconnect function.

Collecting Information

Property CertificateTypesAvailable

Currently Aloaha supports 3 different Certificate Types. 

0 = Non Repudiation Certificate
1 = Signature / Authentication Certificate
2 = Encryption Certificate.

Currently the property CertificateTypesAvailable will always return 3. In case in future more types are being introduced that can be validated with this property.

Property CSP_License

This property signals if the CSP and/or CSP API are running in licensed or non licensed mode.

Property Readers

This property returns the number of readers connected to the system.

Property ReaderName

This property maps a reader number to a clear text reader name. For example: ReaderName = ACSP.ReaderName(1) will return the name of the first connected smart card reader.

Sample

Dim ACSP
dim loaded

Set ACSP = CreateObject("AloahaCSPCore.provider")

loaded = false 

If ACSP.info>0 Then
   If err.number=0 Then
      loaded = true
   End If
End If

if loaded = true and ACSP.readers>0 then

   for i = 0 to ACSP.readers - 1
      msgbox ACSP.readername(i)
   next

end if


Set ACSP = nothing
