## Member Function Documentation

## BannerCB()

virtual void ClientIfcBase::BannerCB | ( | const tstring & | banner | ) |

protected pure virtual

If a banner needs to be acknowledged, this CB delivers the banner to the client.

NOTE: Connection establishment will block until the method setBannerResponse() is called.

In a GUI, a banner would typically be displayed in a modal dialog with an accept or decline button selection.

See also
  setBannerResponse() to set the user response to the banner.

Implemented in CLIClientImpl.

## CertBlockedCB()

virtual void ClientIfcBase::CertBlockedCB | ( | const tstring & | rtstrUntrustedServer | ) |

protected pure virtual

This method is called when the preference to block untrusted servers is enabled and the current VPN server being connected to is untrusted. Clients should present an error to the user notifying them that the current connection to rtstrUntrustedServer is being blocked. The client should also provide a way for the user to change the preference to block untrusted servers.

The user response must be indicated using setCertBlockedResponse

Implemented in CLIClientImpl.

## CertWarningCB()

virtual void ClientIfcBase::CertWarningCB | ( | const tstring & | rtstrUntrustedServer,
|  | const std::list< tstring > & | rltstrCertErrors,
|  | bool | bAllowImport
| ) |  |

protected pure virtual

This method is called when connections to untrusted VPN servers is allowed by policies and the current VPN server being connected to is untrusted. Clients should present a warning to the user notifying them that the current connection to rtstrUntrustedServer is unsafe. The reason the VPN server is untrusted is provided in rltstrCertErrors. The client should provide a way for the user to connect once, connect and always trust or cancel the connection. If bAllowImport is set to false then the always trust option should not be presented to users.

The user response must be indicated using setCertWarningResponse

Implemented in CLIClientImpl.

## deliverWebLaunchHostCB()

virtual void ClientIfcBase::deliverWebLaunchHostCB | ( | const tstring & | activeHost | ) |

protected virtual

This method is useful when the connection to the secure gateway has been established as part of a web-launch of the VPN tunnel.

If the client application wishes to be notified of the secure gateway to which the VPN has been established, this method should be overridden.

If the client application is started and a tunnel is already active, this method also delivers the name of the secure gateway host.

## EventAvailable()

virtual void ClientIfcBase::EventAvailable | ( |  | ) |

protected virtual

This method should be overridden by the client application to exercise some control over the delivery of events from the other protected methods in this class.

This might be necessary in cases where a GUI/CLI is being written and the data from this API needs to be delivered in the GUI/CLI or main thread. In this case, you should override this method and when it is called by the API post an event to your event queue (message pump, etc.). After this event executes in your GUI/CLI or main thread, call the method ClientIfc::ProcessEvents to have events delivered to your client application.

Reimplemented in CLIClientImpl.

## EventNotificationInternalCB()

virtual void ClientIfcBase::EventNotificationInternalCB | ( | const std::shared_ptr< CEventNotificationTlv > & | spEventNtfctnTlv | ) |

protected pure virtual

Internal callback between ClientIfcBase and ClientIfc.

## ExitNoticeCB()

virtual void ClientIfcBase::ExitNoticeCB | ( | const tstring & | tstrNotice,
|  | const int | returnCode
| ) |  |

protected virtual

This CB would likely occur only during a connection when it was detected that the software needed to be upgraded, or when Start Before Logon (SBL) is being used.

Unlike the other callback methods, this method provides a default implementation (calling the system's exit() function). If clients of the API wish to override this behavior, they are responsible for ensuring that the current running process exits with the return code specified by returnCode.

Caution: IF YOU OVERRIDE THIS METHOD AND DO NOT EXIT WITH THE PROPER CODE SOFTWARE UPDATE FUNCTIONALITY IN YOUR CLIENT WILL BREAK

Reimplemented in CLIClientImpl.

## NoticeCB()

virtual void ClientIfcBase::NoticeCB | ( | const tstring & | notice,
|  | const MessageType | type,
|  | const bool | bSensitive = `false`
| ) |  |

protected pure virtual

Messages are delivered via the NoticeCB and can come from multiple sources. There are four message types (error, warning, info and status). See the MessageType enum in api.h for the list.

Clients using the API as an embedded application (not user visible) might want to further characterize messages. One option here is to use the AnyConnect message catalog and assign message codes as the translations for various messages. An application could then track messages based on its own error code scheme.

Implemented in CLIClientImpl.

## PreConnectReminderCB()

virtual void ClientIfcBase::PreConnectReminderCB | ( | const tstring & | rtstrPreConnectReminder | ) |

protected virtual

If a pre-connect reminder needs to be acknowledged, this CB delivers the pre-connect reminder to the client.

NOTE: Connection establishment will block until the method setPreConnectReminderResponse() is called.

In a GUI, a pre-connect reminder would typically be displayed in a modal dialog with an OK button selection.

See also
  setPreConnectReminderResponse() to set the user acknowledgement to the pre-connect reminder message.

Reimplemented in CLIClientImpl.

## ResetQuarantinedReconnect()

void ClientIfcBase::ResetQuarantinedReconnect | ( |  | ) |

protected

Internal methods for use by ClientIfc.

## ServiceReadyCB()

virtual void ClientIfcBase::ServiceReadyCB | ( |  | ) |

protected pure virtual

Under normal operating conditions, this CB is called as soon as the attach method completes. In case the service (vpn agent) is not ready, this CB is not called until it is.

Any API calls made prior to this CB being called will result in a NoticeCB error message.

Implemented in CLIClientImpl.

## StateCB()

virtual void ClientIfcBase::StateCB | ( | const VPNState | state,
|  | const VPNSubState | subState,
|  | const tstring | stateString
| ) |  |

protected pure virtual

Callback used to deliver VPN state and state change string. The stateString delivered by this method is localized.

See the VPNState enum found in api.h for set of valid states.

Implemented in CLIClientImpl.

## StatsCB()

virtual void ClientIfcBase::StatsCB | ( | VPNStats & | stats | ) |

protected pure virtual

Callback used to deliver new statistics related to the VPN connection.

When a connection is active, a new set of statistics is delivered each second.

See also
  resetStats(), stopStats() and startStats()

Implemented in CLIClientImpl.

## UserPromptCB()

virtual void ClientIfcBase::UserPromptCB | ( | ConnectPromptInfo & | ConnectPrompt | ) |

protected pure virtual

This method supports prompting for single or multiple values. All prompts are considered mandatory.

The ConnectPromptInfo object contains a list of PromptEntry instances. The labels and their default values (if any) can be found in these instances. After the data has been collected from the user it can be set into these same instances. When ready, the client application should call the method UserSubmit() to have the responses read by the API.

Implemented in CLIClientImpl.

## WMHintCB()

virtual void ClientIfcBase::WMHintCB | ( | const WMHint | hint,
|  | const WMHintReason | reason
| ) |  |

protected virtual

Use this method to provide Window Manager hints to GUI applications. To receive these hints, the application must identify itself as a GUI in the attach method. In addition, this method should be overridden to receive any generated events.

Event that can be received include those indicating that a user is starting a second instance of the GUI application. This information can be used to tell the already running application to un-minimize itself and let the new program know that it should Quit (since a GUI is already running).
