StorePermissionFlags Enumeration

.NET Framework 4.5

Other Versions

Specifies the permitted access to X.509 certificate stores.

This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.

Namespace: System.Security.Permissions
Assembly: System (in System.dll)

Syntax

C++

[SerializableAttribute]
[FlagsAttribute]
public enum StorePermissionFlags

Members

	Member name	Description
	AddToStore	The ability to add a certificate to a store. For security reasons, this ability should be granted only to highly trusted code.
	AllFlags	The ability to perform all certificate and store operations.
	CreateStore	The ability to create a new store. New stores are created by calling the X509Store.Open method.
	DeleteStore	The ability to delete a store. This functionality is not exposed by the X509Store class.
	EnumerateCertificates	The ability to enumerate the certificates in a store. For privacy reasons, this ability should be granted only to fully trusted code.
	EnumerateStores	The ability to enumerate the stores on a computer. This functionality is not exposed by the X509Store class.
	NoFlags	Permission is not given to perform any certificate or store operations.
	OpenStore	The ability to open a store. The ability to open a store does not include the ability to enumerate certificates (which raises privacy concerns) or to add or remove certificates (which raises security concerns).
	RemoveFromStore	The ability to remove a certificate from a store. This ability should be granted only to highly trusted code because removing a certificate can result in a denial of service.

Remarks

Many of these access permissions pose potential security and privacy threats. Great care should be taken in granting access to stores. A brief description of the type of threat exposed by an access can be found in the summary for the access.

Examples

The following code example shows the use of the StorePermissionFlags enumeration.

C++

Console.WriteLine("Creating a permission with Flags = OpenStore.");
StorePermission sp = new StorePermission(StorePermissionFlags.OpenStore);
