Syntax

public sealed class EbicsContact : EbicsElement, IEbicsJsonConverter

Remarks

Whenever a property is changed the complete contact data is re-saved in it's ContactFolder. Thus, in order to optimize updating multiple properties the method BeginUpdate() should be called before, and the method EndUpdate() should be called after changing the properties. This ensures that the contact data is only saved once at the end of the update.

IEbicsContactFolder

ContactGuid

A GUID that uniquely identifies this contact.

Declaration

public Guid ContactGuid { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Guid

Remarks

This property is managed automatically by the EbicsContact class and therefore can only be read. A newly created EbicsContact will always get a new GUID. If an EbicsContact instance is stored, its GUID is stored with it, and also restored when loaded.

This GUID is used as the primary key when storing an EbicsContact in an IEbicsContactFolder.

ContactName

Optional human readable contact name.

Declaration

public string ContactName { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.String	The contact name may be `null` or a nonempty string of up to 256 characters. The default value of this property is `null`.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
System.ArgumentException	An attempt was made to set an empty contact name string.

CountryCode

Two letter ISO country code. If this is not set, then "DE" will be assumed.

Declaration

public string CountryCode { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.String

Remarks

The country code is needed to adopt to national variations in the EBICS implementation. In particular it is needed to enable keys with certificates in France.

DefaultAuthorisationLevel

The default authorisation level for signatures created by this user.

Declaration

public EbicsAuthorisationLevel DefaultAuthorisationLevel { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
EbicsAuthorisationLevel

Remarks

This authorisation level is only applied, if the AuthorisationLevel was not explicitly set. If this is Null, then a default signature will be assumed by Send(EbicsOrder, IEbicsSecurityMedium, IEbicsTransport).

Declaration

public int HostTimeout { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Int32	Time in milliseconds. Must not be negative. The value zero means that the timeout is not set, and thus the DEFAULTHOSTTIMEOUT shall be used.

Remarks

After sending a request message to the EBICS host, the transaction engine will at most wait HostTimeout milliseconds for a response message from the EBICS host. If the EBICS host does not respond within this timeout, then the transaction is aborted.

HostURL

The complete URL to the EBICS host including the https: prefix.

Declaration

public string HostURL { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.String

Remarks

This value is temporary and is not persisted. It must be set again whenever a EbicsContact is loaded.

If the ServiceMap is not set, then a well known service map for the CountryCode will be returned, if available. If there is no well known service map, then the universal Default service map will be returned. Hence, the return value is never null.

Declaration

public string SpoolerSecret { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.String	This value is only meaningful to the EbicsFileSpooler. To store a password the EbicsFileSpooler method StorePassword(EbicsContact, String) must be used.

Methods

AdoptSecurityKeyFile(String, String, Boolean, Boolean, out String)

Adopt the given key file as the security medium for this EbicsContact.

Declaration

public bool AdoptSecurityKeyFile(string sKeyFilePath, string sKeyFilePassword, bool fAdoptContact, bool fInternalizeKeyFile, out string sErrorMessage)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	sKeyFilePath	Complete path and filename to the key file to be adopted. The EbicsContact will store a reference to this path, so the key file must remain at this location, even after it was adopted, unless the parameter fInternalizeKeyFile was `true`.
System.String	sKeyFilePassword
System.Boolean	fAdoptContact	If `true`, then an attempt is made to read EBICS contact data (HostID, UserID, etc.) from the key file. The contact data from the key file will overwrite the existing contact data in this contact.
System.Boolean	fInternalizeKeyFile	If `true`, then all key data, including the private keys, will be imported into this contact. The external key file is no longer needed after the key file was imported. The internalized key file will still require the entry of the same key file password.
