# SSLClient Component

The SSLClient Component is a generic Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) stream client based on an asynchronous, event-driven architecture.

## Syntax

TipsSSLClient
```

## Remarks

The SSLClient Component supports Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) connections. When connecting over Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) the [SSLServerAuthentication](#sslserverauthentication-event-sslclient-component) event allows you to check the server identity and other security attributes. The [SSLStatus](#sslstatus-event-sslclient-component) event provides information about the SSL handshake. Additional SSL-related settings are also supported through the [Config](#config-method-sslclient-component) method.

Our main goal in designing SSLClient was ease of use. The component has a minimum number of properties and five events: [Connected](#connected-event-sslclient-component), [DataIn](#datain-event-sslclient-component), [Disconnected](#disconnected-event-sslclient-component), [ReadyToSend](#readytosend-event-sslclient-component), and [Error](#error-event-sslclient-component). The events are relatively self-explanatory.

The connection is attempted by calling the [Connect](#connect-method-sslclient-component) method or setting the [Connected](#connected-property-sslclient-component) property to True, and then waiting for the [Connected](#connected-event-sslclient-component) event. The destination is defined by setting [RemoteHost](#remotehost-property-sslclient-component) and [RemotePort](#remoteport-property-sslclient-component). Data are sent by calling the [Send](#send-method-sslclient-component) method with *Text* as a parameter.

To disconnect, you just call the [Disconnect](#disconnect-method-sslclient-component) method or set the [Connected](#connected-property-sslclient-component) property to False. The [Linger](#linger-property-sslclient-component) property controls how the connection is terminated.

The operation of the component is almost completely asynchronous. All of the calls, except the ones that deal with domain name resolution, operate through asynchronous messages (no blocking calls). The gain in performance is considerable compared with using blocking calls.

# AcceptData Property ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This property indicates whether data reception is currently enabled.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property bool AcceptData = { read=FAcceptData };
```

## Default Value

True

## Remarks

This property indicates whether data reception is currently enabled. When *false*, data reception is disabled and the [DataIn](#datain-event-sslclient-component) event will not fire. Use the [PauseData](#pausedata-method-sslclient-component) and [ProcessData](#processdata-method-sslclient-component) methods to pause and resume data reception.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

Boolean

# BytesSent Property ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This property includes the number of bytes actually sent after a call to the SendBytes method.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property int BytesSent = { read=FBytesSent };
```

## Default Value

0

## Remarks

This property indicates how many bytes were sent after the last call to [SendBytes](#sendbytes-method-sslclient-component). Please check the [SendBytes](#sendbytes-method-sslclient-component) method for more information.

NOTE: that BytesSent will always return 0 when the component is operating in synchronous mode (i.e., the [Timeout](#timeout-property-sslclient-component) property is set to a positive value.)

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

Integer

# Connected Property ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This property indicates whether the component is connected.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property bool Connected = { read=FConnected };
```

## Default Value

False

## Remarks

This property indicates whether the component is connected to the remote host. Use the [Connect](#connect-method-sslclient-component) and [Disconnect](#disconnect-method-sslclient-component) methods to manage the connection.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

Boolean

# EOL Property ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This property is used to break the incoming data stream into chunks separated by EOL .

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String EOL = { read=FEOL, write=FSetEOL };
__property DynamicArray<Byte> EOLB = { read=FEOLB, write=FSetEOLB };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

This property is used to define boundaries in the input stream using the value of the property.

This property is especially useful with ASCII files. Setting it to CRLF (*"\r\n"*) enables the incoming ASCII text stream to split into defined lines. In this case, one event is fired for each line received (as well as in packet boundaries). The CRLF (*"\r\n"*) bytes are discarded.

This property is a binary string. Notably, this means that it can be more than one byte long, and it can contain NULL bytes.

## Data Type

Byte Array

# FirewallAutoDetect Property ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

Whether to automatically detect and use firewall system settings, if available.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property bool FirewallAutoDetect = { read=FFirewallAutoDetect, write=FSetFirewallAutoDetect };
```

## Default Value

False

## Remarks

Whether to automatically detect and use firewall system settings, if available.

## Data Type

Boolean

# FirewallType Property ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

The type of firewall to connect through.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

__property String FirewallHost = { read=FFirewallHost, write=FSetFirewallHost };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

The name or IP address of the firewall (optional). If a [FirewallHost](#firewallhost-property-sslclient-component) is given, the requested connections will be authenticated through the specified firewall when connecting.

If this property is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, this property is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, the component raises an exception.

## Data Type

String

# FirewallPassword Property ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

A password if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String FirewallPassword = { read=FFirewallPassword, write=FSetFirewallPassword };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

A password if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall. If [FirewallHost](#firewallhost-property-sslclient-component) is specified, the [FirewallUser](#firewalluser-property-sslclient-component) and [FirewallPassword](#firewallpassword-property-sslclient-component) properties are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the component raises an exception.

## Data Type

String

# FirewallPort Property ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port for the firewall Host .

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property int FirewallPort = { read=FFirewallPort, write=FSetFirewallPort };
```

## Default Value

0

## Remarks

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port for the firewall [FirewallHost](#firewallhost-property-sslclient-component). See the description of the [FirewallHost](#firewallhost-property-sslclient-component) property for details.

NOTE: This property is set automatically when [FirewallType](#firewalltype-property-sslclient-component) is set to a valid value. See the description of the [FirewallType](#firewalltype-property-sslclient-component) property for details.

## Data Type

Integer

# FirewallUser Property ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

A username if authentication is to be used when connecting through a firewall.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String FirewallUser = { read=FFirewallUser, write=FSetFirewallUser };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

A username if authentication is to be used when connecting through a firewall. If [FirewallHost](#firewallhost-property-sslclient-component) is specified, this property and the [FirewallPassword](#firewallpassword-property-sslclient-component) property are used to connect and authenticate to the given [Firewall](#Type_Firewall). If the authentication fails, the component raises an exception.

## Data Type

String

# KeepAlive Property ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

When True, KEEPALIVE packets are enabled (for long connections).

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property bool KeepAlive = { read=FKeepAlive, write=FSetKeepAlive };
```

## Default Value

False

## Remarks

The KeepAlive enables the *SO_KEEPALIVE* option on the socket. This option prevents long connections from timing out in case of inactivity.

NOTE: System Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack implementations are not required to support *SO_KEEPALIVE*.

## Data Type

Boolean

# Linger Property ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

When set to True, this property ensures that connections are terminated gracefully.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property bool Linger = { read=FLinger, write=FSetLinger };
```

## Default Value

True

## Remarks

This property controls how a connection is closed. The default is True.

In the case that Linger is True (default), two scenarios determine how long the connection will linger. In the first, if [LingerTime](#LingerTime) is 0 (default), the system will attempt to send pending data for a connection until the default IP timeout expires.

In the second scenario, if [LingerTime](#LingerTime) is a positive value, the system will attempt to send pending data until the specified [LingerTime](#LingerTime) is reached. If this attempt fails, then the system will reset the connection.

The default behavior (which is also the default mode for stream sockets) might result in a long delay in closing the connection. Although the component returns control immediately, the system could hold system resources until all pending data are sent (even after your application closes).

Setting this property to False forces an immediate disconnection. If you know that the other side has received all the data you sent (e.g., by a client acknowledgment), setting this property to False might be the appropriate course of action.

## Data Type

Boolean

# LocalHost Property ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String LocalHost = { read=FLocalHost, write=FSetLocalHost };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

This property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the *gethostname()* system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the component initiate connections (or accept in the case of server components) only through that interface. It is recommended to provide an IP address rather than a hostname when setting this property to ensure the desired interface is used.

If the component is connected, the LocalHost property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

NOTE: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.

## Data Type

String

# LocalPort Property ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

The TCP port in the local host where the component binds.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property int LocalPort = { read=FLocalPort, write=FSetLocalPort };
```

## Default Value

0

## Remarks

This property must be set before a connection is attempted. It instructs the component to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine.

Setting this property to 0 (default) enables the system to choose an open port at random. The chosen port will be returned by the LocalPort property after the connection is established.

LocalPort cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this property when a connection is active will generate an error.

This property is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port on the client side.

## Data Type

Integer

# ReadyToSend Property ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This property indicates whether the component is ready to send data.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property bool ReadyToSend = { read=FReadyToSend };
```

## Default Value

false

## Remarks

This property indicates that the underlying Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP subsystem is ready to accept data. This is True after connecting to the remote host and will become False after a failed [SendBytes](#sendbytes-method-sslclient-component).

After a failed [SendBytes](#sendbytes-method-sslclient-component), the [ReadyToSend](#readytosend-event-sslclient-component) event will fire and this property will be True when data can be sent again.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

Boolean

# RecordLength Property ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This property indicates the length of received data records.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property int RecordLength = { read=FRecordLength };
```

## Default Value

0

## Remarks

This property holds the current record length set by [ChangeRecordLength](#changerecordlength-method-sslclient-component). When this value is a positive number, the component will accumulate data until RecordLength is reached and only then will fire the [DataIn](#datain-event-sslclient-component) event with the data of length RecordLength. This allows data to be received as records of known length. This value can be changed at any time by calling [ChangeRecordLength](#changerecordlength-method-sslclient-component), including within the [DataIn](#datain-event-sslclient-component) event.

A value of 0 (default) means this setting is not used.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

Integer

# RemoteHost Property ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This property includes the address of the remote host. Domain names are resolved to IP addresses.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String RemoteHost = { read=FRemoteHost, write=FSetRemoteHost };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

This property specifies the IP address (IP number in dotted internet format) or the domain name of the remote host. It is set before a connection is attempted and cannot be changed once a connection is established.

If this property is set to a domain name, a DNS request is initiated, and upon successful termination of the request, this property is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

If the component is configured to use a *SOCKS* firewall, the value assigned to this property may be preceded with an "*". If this is the case, the host name is passed to the firewall unresolved and the firewall performs the DNS resolution.

**Example. Connecting:**

```text
TCPClientControl.RemoteHost = "MyHostNameOrIP"
TCPClientControl.RemotePort = 777
TCPClientControl.Connected = true
```

## Data Type

String

# RemotePort Property ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This property includes the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port in the remote host.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property int RemotePort = { read=FRemotePort, write=FSetRemotePort };
```

## Default Value

0

## Remarks

This property specifies a service port on the remote host to connect to.

A valid port number (a value between 1 and 65535) is required for the connection to take place. The property must be set before a connection is attempted and cannot be changed once a connection is established. Any attempt to change this property while connected will fail with an error.

## Data Type

Integer

# SingleLineMode Property ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This property includes a special mode for line-oriented protocols.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property bool SingleLineMode = { read=FSingleLineMode, write=FSetSingleLineMode };
```

## Default Value

False

## Remarks

When this property is set to True, the component treats the incoming data stream as lines separated by carriage return line feed (CRLF), CR, or LF. The [EOL](#eol-property-sslclient-component) property is ignored.

When this property is set to True, [AcceptData](#acceptdata-property-sslclient-component) automatically will be set to False. Please refer to the [GetLine](#getline-method-sslclient-component) method for more information.

This property is not available at design time.

## Data Type

Boolean

# SSLAcceptServerCertEffectiveDate Property ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.

If a matching certificate is found, the property is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=example@email.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |

## Data Type

Byte Array

# SSLProvider Property ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

The Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) implementation to use.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property TipsSSLClientSSLProviders SSLProvider = { read=FSSLProvider, write=FSetSSLProvider };
enum TipsSSLClientSSLProviders {
  sslpAutomatic=0,
  sslpPlatform=1,
  sslpInternal=2
};
```

## Default Value

sslpAutomatic

## Remarks

This property specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use. In most cases the default value of *0* (Automatic) is recommended and should not be changed. When set to *0* (Automatic), the component will select whether to use the platform implementation or the internal implementation depending on the operating system as well as the TLS version being used.

Possible values are as follows:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 0 (sslpAutomatic - default) | Automatically selects the appropriate implementation. |
| 1 (sslpPlatform) | Uses the platform/system implementation. |
| 2 (sslpInternal) | Uses the internal implementation. |

 **Additional Notes**

In most cases using the default value (Automatic) is recommended. The component will select a provider depending on the current platform.

When Automatic is selected, the platform implementation is used by default. When TLS 1.3 is enabled via [SSLEnabledProtocols](#SSLEnabledProtocols), the component will always try and use the platform implementation. If the platform TLS 1.3 implementation is not available, the internal implementation will be used.

The certificate's version number. The possible values are the strings "V1", "V2", and "V3".

This property is read-only.

## Data Type

String

# SSLServerCertSubject Property ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

The subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String SSLServerCertSubject = { read=FSSLServerCertSubject };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

The subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.

If a matching certificate is found, the property is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=example@email.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| CN | Common Name. This is commonly a hostname like www.server.com. |
| O | Organization |
| OU | Organizational Unit |
| L | Locality |
| S | State |
| C | Country |
| E | Email Address |

If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.

This property is read-only.

## Data Type

String

# SSLServerCertEncoded Property ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

The certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded).

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property String SSLServerCertEncoded = { read=FSSLServerCertEncoded };
__property DynamicArray<Byte> SSLServerCertEncodedB = { read=FSSLServerCertEncodedB };
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

The certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This property is used to assign a specific certificate. The [SSLServerCertStore](#sslservercertstore-property-sslclient-component) and [SSLServerCertSubject](#sslservercertsubject-property-sslclient-component) properties also may be used to specify a certificate.

When [SSLServerCertEncoded](#sslservercertencoded-property-sslclient-component) is set, a search is initiated in the current [SSLServerCertStore](#sslservercertstore-property-sslclient-component) for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, [SSLServerCertSubject](#sslservercertsubject-property-sslclient-component) is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, [SSLServerCertSubject](#sslservercertsubject-property-sslclient-component) is set to an empty string.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

## Data Type

Byte Array

# Timeout Property ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This property includes the timeout for the component.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
__property int Timeout = { read=FTimeout, write=FSetTimeout };
```

## Default Value

60

## Remarks

If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations return immediately, potentially failing with a *WOULDBLOCK* error if data cannot be sent immediately.

If Timeout is set to a positive value, data is sent in a blocking manner and the component will wait for the operation to complete before returning control. The component will handle any potential *WOULDBLOCK* errors internally and automatically retry the operation for a maximum of Timeout seconds.

The component will use [DoEvents](#doevents-method-sslclient-component) to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not freeze and remains responsive.

If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the component raises an exception.

NOTE: By default, all timeouts are *inactivity timeouts*, that is, the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.

The default value for the Timeout property is 60 seconds.

## Data Type

Integer

# ChangeRecordLength Method ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This method changes the length of received data records.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall ChangeRecordLength(int RecordLength);
```

## Remarks

This method defines the length of data records to be received (in bytes).

If *RecordLength* is set to a positive value, the component will accumulate data until *RecordLength* bytes of data are received and only then will it fire the [DataIn](#datain-event-sslclient-component) event with data of length *RecordLength*. This allows data to be received as records of known length. This method can be called at any time to change the record length, including within the [DataIn](#datain-event-sslclient-component) event.

A value of 0 (default) means this functionality is not used.

# Config Method ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
String __fastcall Config(String ConfigurationString);
```

## Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve [configuration settings](#config-settings-sslclient-component) for the component.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these *internal properties* is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named *PROPERTY*, you must call *Config("PROPERTY=VALUE")*, where *VALUE* is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a [configuration setting](#config-settings-sslclient-component), you must call *Config("PROPERTY")*. The value will be returned as a string.

# Connect Method ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This method connects to a remote host.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall Connect();
```

## Remarks

This method connects to the remote host specified by [RemoteHost](#remotehost-property-sslclient-component) and [RemotePort](#remoteport-property-sslclient-component). For instance:

```text
component.RemoteHost = "MyHostNameOrIP";
component.RemotePort = 7777;
component.Connect();
```

# ConnectTo Method ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This method connects to a remote host.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
component.ConnectTo("MyHostNameOrIP", 777)
```

# Disconnect Method ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This method disconnects from the remote host.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall Disconnect();
```

## Remarks

This method disconnects from the remote host.

# DoEvents Method ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This method processes events from the internal message queue.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall DoEvents();
```

## Remarks

When DoEvents is called, the component processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.

# GetLine Method ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This method gets a line of text from the server.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
String __fastcall GetLine();
```

## Remarks

This method gets a line of text from the server. This method is an alternative method of receiving data for line-oriented protocols. The component will block if necessary and then will return the received line. [AcceptData](#acceptdata-property-sslclient-component) will be set automatically to True when the method is called, and then will be set to False after a line is received.

Please refer to the [SingleLineMode](#singlelinemode-property-sslclient-component) property for more information.

# Interrupt Method ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This method interrupts the current action.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall Interrupt();
```

## Remarks

This method interrupts the current action. If you use [SendFile](#sendfile-method-sslclient-component) to upload a file, the component will run synchronously until the upload is completed. This method will allow you to stop the file from uploading without disconnecting from the host.

# PauseData Method ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This method pauses data reception.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall PauseData();
```

## Remarks

This method pauses data reception when called. While data reception is paused, the [DataIn](#datain-event-sslclient-component) event will not fire. Call [ProcessData](#processdata-method-sslclient-component) to reenable data reception.

# ProcessData Method ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This method reenables data reception after a call to PauseData .

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall ProcessData();
```

## Remarks

This method reenables data reception after a previous call to [PauseData](#pausedata-method-sslclient-component). When [PauseData](#pausedata-method-sslclient-component) is called, the [DataIn](#datain-event-sslclient-component) event will not fire. To reenable data reception and allow [DataIn](#datain-event-sslclient-component) to fire, call this method.

NOTE: This method is used only after previously calling [PauseData](#pausedata-method-sslclient-component). It does not need to be called to process incoming data by default.

# Reset Method ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This method will reset the component.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall Reset();
```

## Remarks

This method will reset the component's properties to their default values.

# Send Method ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This method sends binary data to the remote host.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall Send(DynamicArray<Byte> Text);
```

## Remarks

This method sends the specified binary data to the remote host. To send text, use the [SendText](#sendtext-method-sslclient-component) method instead.

 When [Timeout](#timeout-property-sslclient-component) is set to 0, the component will behave asynchronously. If you are sending data to the remote host faster than it can process it, or faster than the network's bandwidth allows, the outgoing queue might fill up. When this happens, the operation raises the exception with errorcode 10035 and message "[10035] Operation would block" (WSAEWOULDBLOCK). You can handle this exception, and then try to send the data again. . The [BytesSent](#bytessent-property-sslclient-component) property shows how many bytes were sent (if any). If 0 bytes were sent, then you can wait for the [ReadyToSend](#readytosend-event-sslclient-component) event before attempting to send data again.

NOTE: The [ReadyToSend](#readytosend-event-sslclient-component) event is not fired when part of the data is sent successfully.

# SendBytes Method ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This method sends binary data to the remote host.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall SendBytes(DynamicArray<Byte> Data);
```

## Remarks

This method sends the specified binary data to the remote host. To send text, use the [SendText](#sendtext-method-sslclient-component) method instead.

 When [Timeout](#timeout-property-sslclient-component) is set to 0, the component will behave asynchronously. If you are sending data to the remote host faster than it can process it, or faster than the network's bandwidth allows, the outgoing queue might fill up. When this happens, the operation raises the exception with errorcode 10035 and message "[10035] Operation would block" (WSAEWOULDBLOCK). You can handle this exception, and then try to send the data again. . The [BytesSent](#bytessent-property-sslclient-component) property shows how many bytes were sent (if any). If 0 bytes were sent, then you can wait for the [ReadyToSend](#readytosend-event-sslclient-component) event before attempting to send data again.

NOTE: The [ReadyToSend](#readytosend-event-sslclient-component) event is not fired when part of the data is sent successfully.

# SendFile Method ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This method sends a file to the remote host.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall SendFile(String FileName);
```

## Remarks

This method sends the specified file to the remote host.

This method requires [Timeout](#timeout-property-sslclient-component) be set to a positive value. This allows the component to ensure that the file is transferred completely without a *WOULDBLOCK* error. See [Timeout](#timeout-property-sslclient-component) for details.

# SendLine Method ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This method sends a string followed by a newline.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall SendLine(String Text);
```

## Remarks

This method sends a string followed by a newline. This method is used to send data with line-oriented protocols. The line is followed by CRLF (*"\r\n"*) .

Please refer to the [GetLine](#getline-method-sslclient-component) method and [SingleLineMode](#singlelinemode-property-sslclient-component) property for more information.

# SendText Method ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This method sends text to the remote host.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall SendText(String Text);
```

## Remarks

This method sends the specified text to the remote host. To send binary data, use the [SendBytes](#sendbytes-method-sslclient-component) method instead.

 When [Timeout](#timeout-property-sslclient-component) is set to 0, the component will behave asynchronously. If you are sending data to the remote host faster than it can process it, or faster than the network's bandwidth allows, the outgoing queue might fill up. When this happens, the operation raises the exception with errorcode 10035 and message "[10035] Operation would block" (WSAEWOULDBLOCK). You can handle this exception, and then try to send the data again. . The [BytesSent](#bytessent-property-sslclient-component) property shows how many bytes were sent (if any). If 0 bytes were sent, then you can wait for the [ReadyToSend](#readytosend-event-sslclient-component) event before attempting to send data again.

NOTE: The [ReadyToSend](#readytosend-event-sslclient-component) event is not fired when part of the data is sent successfully.

# StartSSL Method ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This method starts Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) negotiation on a plaintext connection.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
void __fastcall StartSSL();
```

## Remarks

This method is used to start SSL negotiation on a plaintext connection. Please refer to the SSLStartMode property for more information.

NOTE: The [Connected](#connected-event-sslclient-component) event will fire again after SSL negotiation is complete.

# Connected Event ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

Fired immediately after a connection completes (or fails).

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
typedef struct {
  int StatusCode;
  String Description;
} TipsSSLClientConnectedEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipsSSLClientConnectedEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipsSSLClientConnectedEventParams *e);
__property TipsSSLClientConnectedEvent OnConnected = { read=FOnConnected, write=FOnConnected };
```

## Remarks

If the connection is made normally, *StatusCode* is 0 and *Description* is "OK".

If the connection fails, *StatusCode* has the error code returned by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack. *Description* contains a description of this code. The value of *StatusCode* is equal to the value of the error.

Please refer to the [Error Codes](#trappable-errors-sslclient-component) section for more information.

# ConnectionStatus Event ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

Fired to indicate changes in the connection state.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
typedef struct {
  String ConnectionEvent;
  int StatusCode;
  String Description;
} TipsSSLClientConnectionStatusEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipsSSLClientConnectionStatusEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipsSSLClientConnectionStatusEventParams *e);
__property TipsSSLClientConnectionStatusEvent OnConnectionStatus = { read=FOnConnectionStatus, write=FOnConnectionStatus };
```

## Remarks

This event is fired when the connection state changes: for example, completion of a firewall or proxy connection or completion of a security handshake.

The *ConnectionEvent* parameter indicates the type of connection event. Values may include the following:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
|  | Firewall connection complete. |
|  | Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or S/Shell handshake complete (where applicable). |
|  | Remote host connection complete. |
|  | Remote host disconnected. |
|  | SSL or S/Shell connection broken. |
|  | Firewall host disconnected. |

 *StatusCode* has the error code returned by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack. *Description* contains a description of this code. The value of *StatusCode* is equal to the value of the error.

# DataIn Event ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This event is fired when data (complete lines) come in.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
typedef struct {
  String Text;
  DynamicArray<Byte> TextB;
  bool EOL;
} TipsSSLClientDataInEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipsSSLClientDataInEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipsSSLClientDataInEventParams *e);
__property TipsSSLClientDataInEvent OnDataIn = { read=FOnDataIn, write=FOnDataIn };
```

## Remarks

Trapping the DataIn event is your only chance to get the data coming from the other end of the connection. The incoming data are provided through the *Text* parameter.

*EOL* indicates whether or not the [EOL](#eol-property-sslclient-component) string was found at the end of *Text*. If the [EOL](#eol-property-sslclient-component) string was found, then *EOL* is True.

If *Text* is part of a data portion of length larger than [MaxLineLength](#MaxLineLength) with no [EOL](#eol-property-sslclient-component) strings in it, then *EOL* is False. NOTE: This means that one or more DataIn events with *EOL* set to False can be received during a connection.

If the [EOL](#eol-property-sslclient-component) property is "" (empty string), then *EOL* can be disregarded (it is always True).

NOTE: Events are not re-entrant. Performing time-consuming operations within this event will prevent it from firing again in a timely manner and may affect overall performance.

# Disconnected Event ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

Fired when a connection is closed.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
typedef struct {
  int StatusCode;
  String Description;
} TipsSSLClientDisconnectedEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipsSSLClientDisconnectedEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipsSSLClientDisconnectedEventParams *e);
__property TipsSSLClientDisconnectedEvent OnDisconnected = { read=FOnDisconnected, write=FOnDisconnected };
```

## Remarks

If the connection is broken normally, *StatusCode* is 0 and *Description* is "OK".

If the connection is broken for any other reason, *StatusCode* has the error code returned by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP/IP) subsystem. *Description* contains a description of this code. The value of *StatusCode* is equal to the value of the TCP/IP error.

Please refer to the [Error Codes](#trappable-errors-sslclient-component) section for more information.

# Error Event ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
typedef struct {
  int ErrorCode;
  String Description;
} TipsSSLClientErrorEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipsSSLClientErrorEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipsSSLClientErrorEventParams *e);
__property TipsSSLClientErrorEvent OnError = { read=FOnError, write=FOnError };
```

## Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the component raises an exception.

The *ErrorCode* parameter contains an error code, and the *Description* parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the [Error Codes](#trappable-errors-sslclient-component) section.

# ReadyToSend Event ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

This event is fired when the component is ready to send data.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
typedef struct {
} TipsSSLClientReadyToSendEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipsSSLClientReadyToSendEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipsSSLClientReadyToSendEventParams *e);
__property TipsSSLClientReadyToSendEvent OnReadyToSend = { read=FOnReadyToSend, write=FOnReadyToSend };
```

## Remarks

The ReadyToSend event indicates that the underlying Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP subsystem is ready to accept data after a failed [SendBytes](#sendbytes-method-sslclient-component). This event also is fired immediately after a connection to the remote host is established.

# SSLServerAuthentication Event ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
typedef struct {
  String CertEncoded;
  DynamicArray<Byte> CertEncodedB;
  String CertSubject;
  String CertIssuer;
  String Status;
  bool Accept;
} TipsSSLClientSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipsSSLClientSSLServerAuthenticationEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipsSSLClientSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);
__property TipsSSLClientSSLServerAuthenticationEvent OnSSLServerAuthentication = { read=FOnSSLServerAuthentication, write=FOnSSLServerAuthentication };
```

## Remarks

During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The *Accept* parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.

 When *Accept* is False, *Status* shows why the verification failed (otherwise, *Status* contains the string *OK*). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the *Accept* parameter to True.

# SSLStatus Event ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

## Syntax

*C++ Builder Syntax*

```text
typedef struct {
  String Message;
} TipsSSLClientSSLStatusEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipsSSLClientSSLStatusEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipsSSLClientSSLStatusEventParams *e);
__property TipsSSLClientSSLStatusEvent OnSSLStatus = { read=FOnSSLStatus, write=FOnSSLStatus };
```

## Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.

# Config Settings ([SSLClient](#sslclient-component) Component)

 The component accepts one or more of the following *configuration settings*. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these *internal properties* is provided through the [Config](#config-method-sslclient-component) method.

### TCPClient Config Settings

**ConnectionTimeout**: Sets a separate timeout value for establishing a connection.When set, this configuration setting allows you to specify a different timeout value for establishing a connection. Otherwise, the component will use [Timeout](#timeout-property-sslclient-component) for establishing a connection and transmitting/receiving data.

**EnableFallback**: Whether to try the other addresses the remote host resolves to when a connection attempt fails.When set to True and [RemoteHost](#remotehost-property-sslclient-component) resolves to more than one address, the component will try the remaining addresses in turn if the connection to the first one fails, and only raises an exception once every address has been tried. The error reported is the one from the last attempt. Use [FallbackTimeout](#FallbackTimeout) to limit the total time spent.

NOTE: Only addresses of the same IP version as the first one are tried, this setting does not fall back from IPv6 to IPv4. Selecting between IPv6 and IPv4 is done by [UseIPv6](#UseIPv6) when the host is resolved.

This setting must be set before the connection is established. The default value for this setting is False.

**FallbackTimeout**: The maximum time in milliseconds to spend on connection attempts when EnableFallback is enabled.This setting limits the total time that the component will spend on all of the connection attempts made when [EnableFallback](#EnableFallback) is enabled. The default value is 0, in which case each attempt uses the operating system's own connection timeout.

NOTE: This setting only applies when [EnableFallback](#EnableFallback) is True. It is unrelated to [ConnectionTimeout](#ConnectionTimeout), which is specified in seconds and applies to the [Connected](#connected-property-sslclient-component) operation as a whole.

**FirewallAutoDetect**: Tells the component whether or not to automatically detect and use firewall system settings, if available.This configuration setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

**FirewallHost**: Name or IP address of firewall (optional).If a [FirewallHost](#FirewallHost) is given, requested connections will be authenticated through the specified firewall when connecting.

If the [FirewallHost](#FirewallHost) setting is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the [FirewallHost](#FirewallHost) setting is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

NOTE: This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

**FirewallHTTPVersion**: The HTTP version to be used when connecting through a tunneling proxy.When [FirewallType](#FirewallType) is set to a tunneling proxy, this setting dictates which HTTP version is used when connecting.

**FirewallPassword**: Password to be used if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall.If [FirewallHost](#FirewallHost) is specified, the [FirewallUser](#FirewallUser) and [FirewallPassword](#FirewallPassword) settings are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the component raises an exception.

NOTE: This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

**FirewallPort**: The TCP port for the FirewallHost;.The [FirewallPort](#FirewallPort) is set automatically when [FirewallType](#FirewallType) is set to a valid value.

NOTE: This configuration setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

**FirewallType**: Determines the type of firewall to connect through.Possible values are as follows:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 0 | No firewall (default setting). |
| 1 | Connect through a tunneling proxy. [FirewallPort](#FirewallPort) is set to 80. |
| 2 | Connect through a SOCKS4 Proxy. [FirewallPort](#FirewallPort) is set to 1080. |
| 3 | Connect through a SOCKS5 Proxy. [FirewallPort](#FirewallPort) is set to 1080. |
| 10 | Connect through a SOCKS4A Proxy. [FirewallPort](#FirewallPort) is set to 1080. |

NOTE: This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

**FirewallUser**: A user name if authentication is to be used connecting through a firewall.If the [FirewallHost](#FirewallHost) is specified, the [FirewallUser](#FirewallUser) and [FirewallPassword](#FirewallPassword) settings are used to connect and authenticate to the Firewall. If the authentication fails, the component raises an exception.

NOTE: This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

**KeepAliveInterval**: The retry interval, in milliseconds, to be used when a TCP keep-alive packet is sent and no response is received.When set, [TCPKeepAlive](#TCPKeepAlive) will automatically be set to True. A TCP keep-alive packet will be sent after a period of inactivity as defined by [KeepAliveTime](#KeepAliveTime). If no acknowledgment is received from the remote host, the keep-alive packet will be sent again. This configuration setting specifies the interval at which the successive keep-alive packets are sent in milliseconds. This system default if this value is not specified here is 1 second.

NOTE: This value is not applicable in macOS.

**KeepAliveTime**: The inactivity time in milliseconds before a TCP keep-alive packet is sent.When set, [TCPKeepAlive](#TCPKeepAlive) will automatically be set to True. By default, the operating system will determine the time a connection is idle before a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) keep-alive packet is sent. This system default if this value is not specified here is 2 hours. In many cases, a shorter interval is more useful. Set this value to the desired interval in milliseconds.

**Linger**: When set to True, connections are terminated gracefully.This property controls how a connection is closed. The default is True.

In the case that Linger is True (default), two scenarios determine how long the connection will linger. In the first, if [LingerTime](#LingerTime) is 0 (default), the system will attempt to send pending data for a connection until the default IP timeout expires.

In the second scenario, if [LingerTime](#LingerTime) is a positive value, the system will attempt to send pending data until the specified [LingerTime](#LingerTime) is reached. If this attempt fails, then the system will reset the connection.

The default behavior (which is also the default mode for stream sockets) might result in a long delay in closing the connection. Although the component returns control immediately, the system could hold system resources until all pending data are sent (even after your application closes).

Setting this property to False forces an immediate disconnection. If you know that the other side has received all the data you sent (e.g., by a client acknowledgment), setting this property to False might be the appropriate course of action.

**LingerTime**: Time in seconds to have the connection linger. LingerTime is the time, in seconds, the socket connection will linger. This value is 0 by default, which means it will use the default IP timeout.

**LocalHost**: The name of the local host through which connections are initiated or accepted. The [LocalHost](#localhost-property-sslclient-component) setting contains the name of the local host as obtained by the *gethostname()* system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface), setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the component initiate connections (or accept in the case of server components) only through that interface.

If the component is connected, the [LocalHost](#localhost-property-sslclient-component) setting shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

**LocalPort**: The port in the local host where the component binds. This configuration setting must be set before a connection is attempted. It instructs the component to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine.

Setting this to 0 (default) enables the system to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by [LocalPort](#localport-property-sslclient-component) after the connection is established.

[LocalPort](#localport-property-sslclient-component) cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this when a connection is active will generate an error.

This configuration setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port on the client side. An example is the remote shell (rsh) service in UNIX systems.

**MaxLineLength**: The maximum amount of data to accumulate when no EOL is found.[MaxLineLength](#MaxLineLength) is the size of an internal buffer, which holds received data while waiting for an [EOL](#eol-property-sslclient-component) string.

If an [EOL](#eol-property-sslclient-component) string is found in the input stream before [MaxLineLength](#MaxLineLength) bytes are received, the [DataIn](#datain-event-sslclient-component) event is fired with the *EOL* parameter set to True, and the buffer is reset.

If no [EOL](#eol-property-sslclient-component) is found, and [MaxLineLength](#MaxLineLength) bytes are accumulated in the buffer, the [DataIn](#datain-event-sslclient-component) event is fired with the *EOL* parameter set to False, and the buffer is reset.

The minimum value for [MaxLineLength](#MaxLineLength) is 256 bytes. The default value is 2048 bytes.

**MaxTransferRate**: The transfer rate limit in bytes per second.This configuration setting can be used to throttle outbound TCP traffic. Set this to the number of bytes to be sent per second. By default, this is not set and there is no limit.

**ProxyExceptionsList**: A semicolon separated list of hosts and IPs to bypass when using a proxy.This configuration setting optionally specifies a semicolon-separated list of hostnames or IP addresses to bypass when a proxy is in use. When requests are made to hosts specified in this property, the proxy will not be used. For instance:

*www.google.com;www.example.com*

**TCPKeepAlive**: Determines whether or not the keep alive socket option is enabled.If set to True, the socket's keep-alive option is enabled and keep-alive packets will be sent periodically to maintain the connection. Set [KeepAliveTime](#KeepAliveTime) and [KeepAliveInterval](#KeepAliveInterval) to configure the timing of the keep-alive packets.

NOTE: This value is not applicable in Java.

**TcpNoDelay**: Whether or not to delay when sending packets. When set to True, the socket will send all data that are ready to send at once. When set to False, the socket will send smaller buffered packets of data at small intervals. This is known as the Nagle algorithm.

By default, this configuration setting is set to False.

**UseIPv6**: Whether to use IPv6.When set to *0* (default), the component will use IPv4 exclusively. When set to *1*, the component will use IPv6 exclusively. To instruct the component to prefer IPv6 addresses, but use IPv4 if IPv6 is not supported on the system, this setting should be set to *2*. The default value is *0*. Possible values are as follows:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 0 | IPv4 only |
| 1 | IPv6 only |
| 2 | IPv6 with IPv4 fallback |

**UseNTLMv2**: Whether to use NTLM V2.When authenticating with NTLM, this setting specifies whether NTLM V2 is used. By default this value is True and NTLM V2 will be used. Set this to False to use NTLM V1.

### SSL Config Settings

**LogSSLPackets**: Controls whether SSL packets are logged when using the internal security API.When [SSLProvider](#sslprovider-property-sslclient-component) is set to *Internal*, this configuration setting controls whether Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) packets should be logged. By default, this configuration setting is *False*, as it is useful only for debugging purposes.

When enabled, SSL packet logs are output using the [SSLStatus](#sslstatus-event-sslclient-component) event, which will fire each time an SSL packet is sent or received.

Enabling this configuration setting has no effect if [SSLProvider](#sslprovider-property-sslclient-component) is set to *Platform*.

**OpenSSLCADir**: The path to a directory containing CA certificates.This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

The path set by this property should point to a directory containing CA certificates in PEM format. The files each contain one CA certificate. The files are looked up by the CA subject name hash value, which must hence be available. If more than one CA certificate with the same name hash value exist, the extension must be different (e.g., 9d66eef0.0, 9d66eef0.1). OpenSSL recommends the use of the c_rehash utility to create the necessary links. Please refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.

**OpenSSLCAFile**: Name of the file containing the list of CA's trusted by your application.This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

The file set by this property should contain a list of CA certificates in PEM format. The file can contain several CA certificates identified by the following sequences:

 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

 ... (CA certificate in base64 encoding) ...

 -----END CERTIFICATE-----

 Before, between, and after the certificate text is allowed, which can be used, for example, for descriptions of the certificates. Refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.

**OpenSSLCipherList**: A string that controls the ciphers to be used by SSL.This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

The format of this string is described in the OpenSSL man page ciphers(1) section "CIPHER LIST FORMAT". Please refer to it for details. The default string "DEFAULT" is determined at compile time and is normally equivalent to "ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+SSLv2:@STRENGTH".

**OpenSSLPrngSeedData**: The data to seed the pseudo random number generator (PRNG).This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

By default, OpenSSL uses the device file "/dev/urandom" to seed the PRNG, and setting OpenSSLPrngSeedData is not required. If set, the string specified is used to seed the PRNG.

**ReuseSSLSession**: Determines if the SSL session is reused.

If set to True, the component will reuse the context if and only if the following criteria are met:

- The target host name is the same.
- The system cache entry has not expired (default timeout is 10 hours).
- The application process that calls the function is the same.
- The logon session is the same.
- The instance of the component is the same.

**SSLCACerts**: A newline separated list of CA certificates to be included when performing an SSL handshake.When [SSLProvider](#sslprovider-property-sslclient-component) is set to *Internal*, this configuration setting specifies one or more CA certificates to be included with the SSLCert property. Some servers or clients require the entire chain, including CA certificates, to be presented when performing SSL authentication. The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:

```text
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw
... Intermediate Cert ...
eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w
F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
\r \n
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEFjCCAv6gAwIBAgIQetu1SMxpnENAnnOz1P+PtTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBp
... Root Cert ...
d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
```

**SSLCheckCRL**: Whether to check the Certificate Revocation List for the server certificate.This configuration setting specifies whether the component will check the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) specified by the server certificate. If set to 1 or 2, the component will first obtain the list of CRL URLs from the server certificate's CRL distribution points extension. The component will then make HTTP requests to each CRL endpoint to check the validity of the server's certificate. If the certificate has been revoked or any other issues are found during validation the component raises an exception.

When set to 0 (default), the CRL check will not be performed by the component. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the CRL check, but it will continue without an error if the server's certificate does not support CRL. When set to 2, it will perform the CRL check and will throw an error if CRL is not supported.

This configuration setting is supported only in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is supported only on Windows operating systems.

**SSLCheckOCSP**: Whether to use OCSP to check the status of the server certificate.This configuration setting specifies whether the component will use OCSP to check the validity of the server certificate. If set to 1 or 2, the component will first obtain the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) URL from the server certificate's OCSP extension. The component will then locate the issuing certificate and make an HTTP request to the OCSP endpoint to check the validity of the server's certificate. If the certificate has been revoked or any other issues are found during validation, the component raises an exception.

When set to 0 (default), the component will not perform an OCSP check. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the OCSP check, but it will continue without an error if the server's certificate does not support OCSP. When set to 2, it will perform the OCSP check and will throw an error if OCSP is not supported.

This configuration setting is supported only in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is supported only on Windows operating systems.

**SSLCipherStrength**: The minimum cipher strength used for bulk encryption. This minimum cipher strength is largely dependent on the security modules installed on the system. If the cipher strength specified is not supported, an error will be returned when connections are initiated.

NOTE: This configuration setting contains the minimum cipher strength requested from the security library. The actual cipher strength used for the connection is shown by the [SSLStatus](#sslstatus-event-sslclient-component) event.

Use this configuration setting with caution. Requesting a lower cipher strength than necessary could potentially cause serious security vulnerabilities in your application.

When the provider is OpenSSL, [SSLCipherStrength](#SSLCipherStrength) is currently not supported. This functionality is instead made available through the [OpenSSLCipherList](#OpenSSLCipherList) configuration setting.

**SSLClientCACerts**: A newline separated list of CA certificates to use during SSL client certificate validation.This configuration setting is only applicable to server components (e.g., TCPServer) see [SSLServerCACerts](#SSLServerCACerts) for client components (e.g., TCPClient). This setting can be used to optionally specify one or more CA certificates to be used when verifying the client certificate that is presented by the client during the SSL handshake when SSLAuthenticateClients is enabled. When verifying the client's certificate, the certificates trusted by the system will be used as part of the verification process. If the client's CA certificates are not installed to the trusted system store, they may be specified here so they are included when performing the verification process. This configuration setting should be set only if the client's CA certificates are not already trusted on the system and cannot be installed to the trusted system store.

The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:

```text
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw

d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
```

**SSLEnabledCipherSuites**: The cipher suite to be used in an SSL negotiation.This configuration setting enables the cipher suites to be used in SSL negotiation.

By default, the enabled cipher suites will include all available ciphers ("*").

The special value "*" means that the component will pick all of the supported cipher suites. If [SSLEnabledCipherSuites](#SSLEnabledCipherSuites) is set to any other value, only the specified cipher suites will be considered.

Multiple cipher suites are separated by semicolons.

Example values when [SSLProvider](#sslprovider-property-sslclient-component) is set to *Platform* include the following:

```text
obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=*");
obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=CALG_AES_256");

When TLS 1.3 is negotiated (see [SSLEnabledProtocols](#SSLEnabledProtocols)), only the following cipher suites are supported:

- TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
- TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
- TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

[SSLEnabledCipherSuites](#SSLEnabledCipherSuites) is used together with [SSLCipherStrength](#SSLCipherStrength).

**SSLEnabledProtocols**: Used to enable/disable the supported security protocols.This configuration setting is used to enable or disable the supported security protocols.

Not all supported protocols are enabled by default. The default value is *4032* for client components, and *3072* for server components. To specify a combination of enabled protocol versions set this config to the binary *OR* of one or more of the following values:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| TLS1.3 | 12288 (Hex 3000) |
| TLS1.2 | 3072 (Hex C00) (Default - Client and Server) |
| TLS1.1 | 768 (Hex 300) (Default - Client) |
| TLS1 | 192 (Hex C0) (Default - Client) |
| SSL3 | 48 (Hex 30) |
| SSL2 | 12 (Hex 0C) |

Note that only TLS 1.2 is enabled for server components that accept incoming connections. This adheres to industry standards to ensure a secure connection. Client components enable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2 by default and will negotiate the highest mutually supported version when connecting to a server, which should be TLS 1.2 in most cases.

**SSLEnabledProtocols: Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 Notes:**

By default when TLS 1.3 is enabled, the component will first try to use the platform TLS 1.3 implementation when the [SSLProvider](#sslprovider-property-sslclient-component) is set to Automatic for all editions. If the platform TLS 1.3 implementation is not available, the internal implementation will be used.

In editions that are designed to run on Windows, [SSLProvider](#sslprovider-property-sslclient-component) can be set to Platform to use the platform implementation instead of the internal implementation. When configured in this manner, please note that the platform provider is supported only on Windows 11/Windows Server 2022 and up. The default internal provider is available on all platforms and is not restricted to any specific OS version.

If set to *1* (Platform provider), please be aware of the following notes:

- The platform provider is available only on Windows 11/Windows Server 2022 and up.
- [SSLEnabledCipherSuites](#SSLEnabledCipherSuites) and other similar SSL configuration settings are not supported.
- If [SSLEnabledProtocols](#SSLEnabledProtocols) includes both TLS 1.3 and TLS 1.2, these restrictions are still applicable even if TLS 1.2 is negotiated. Enabling TLS 1.3 with the platform provider changes the implementation used for all TLS versions.

**SSLEnabledProtocols: SSL2 and SSL3 Notes: **

SSL 2.0 and 3.0 are not supported by the component when the [SSLProvider](#sslprovider-property-sslclient-component) is set to internal. To use SSL 2.0 or SSL 3.0, the platform security API must have the protocols enabled and [SSLProvider](#sslprovider-property-sslclient-component) needs to be set to platform.

**SSLEnableRenegotiation**: Whether the renegotiation_info SSL extension is supported.This configuration setting specifies whether the renegotiation_info SSL extension will be used in the request when using the internal security API. This configuration setting is *false* by default, but it can be set to *true* to enable the extension.

This configuration setting is applicable only when [SSLProvider](#sslprovider-property-sslclient-component) is set to *Internal*.

**SSLIncludeCertChain**: Whether the entire certificate chain is included in the SSLServerAuthentication event.This configuration setting specifies whether the Encoded parameter of the [SSLServerAuthentication](#sslserverauthentication-event-sslclient-component) event contains the full certificate chain. By default this value is False and only the leaf certificate will be present in the Encoded parameter of the [SSLServerAuthentication](#sslserverauthentication-event-sslclient-component) event.

If set to True, all certificates returned by the server will be present in the Encoded parameter of the [SSLServerAuthentication](#sslserverauthentication-event-sslclient-component) event. This includes the leaf certificate, any intermediate certificate, and the root certificate.

**SSLKeyLogFile**: The location of a file where per-session secrets are written for debugging purposes.This configuration setting optionally specifies the full path to a file on disk where per-session secrets are stored for debugging purposes.

When set, the component will save the session secrets in the same format as the SSLKEYLOGFILE environment variable functionality used by most major browsers and tools, such as Chrome, Firefox, and cURL. This file can then be used in tools such as Wireshark to decrypt TLS traffic for debugging purposes. When writing to this file, the component will only append, it will not overwrite previous values.

NOTE: This configuration setting is applicable only when [SSLProvider](#sslprovider-property-sslclient-component) is set to *Internal*.

**SSLNegotiatedCipher**: Returns the negotiated cipher suite.This configuration setting returns the cipher suite negotiated during the SSL handshake.

NOTE: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:

```csharp
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipher[connId]");
```

**SSLNegotiatedCipherStrength**: Returns the negotiated cipher suite strength.This configuration setting returns the strength of the cipher suite negotiated during the SSL handshake.

NOTE: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:

```csharp
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipherStrength[connId]");
```

**SSLNegotiatedCipherSuite**: Returns the negotiated cipher suite.This configuration setting returns the cipher suite negotiated during the SSL handshake represented as a single string.

NOTE: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:

```csharp
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipherSuite[connId]");
```

**SSLNegotiatedKeyExchange**: Returns the negotiated key exchange algorithm.This configuration setting returns the key exchange algorithm negotiated during the SSL handshake.

NOTE: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:

```csharp
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedKeyExchange[connId]");
```

**SSLNegotiatedKeyExchangeStrength**: Returns the negotiated key exchange algorithm strength.This configuration setting returns the strength of the key exchange algorithm negotiated during the SSL handshake.

NOTE: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:

```csharp
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedKeyExchangeStrength[connId]");
```

**SSLNegotiatedVersion**: Returns the negotiated protocol version.This configuration setting returns the protocol version negotiated during the SSL handshake.

NOTE: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:

```csharp
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedVersion[connId]");
```

**SSLSecurityFlags**: Flags that control certificate verification.The following flags are defined (specified in hexadecimal notation). They can be ORed together to exclude multiple conditions:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 0x00000001 | Ignore time validity status of certificate. |
| 0x00000002 | Ignore time validity status of CTL. |
| 0x00000004 | Ignore non-nested certificate times. |
| 0x00000010 | Allow unknown certificate authority. |
| 0x00000020 | Ignore wrong certificate usage. |
| 0x00000100 | Ignore unknown certificate revocation status. |
| 0x00000200 | Ignore unknown CTL signer revocation status. |
| 0x00000400 | Ignore unknown certificate authority revocation status. |
| 0x00000800 | Ignore unknown root revocation status. |
| 0x00008000 | Allow test root certificate. |
| 0x00004000 | Trust test root certificate. |
| 0x80000000 | Ignore non-matching CN (certificate CN non-matching server name). |

This functionality is currently not available when the provider is OpenSSL.

**SSLServerCACerts**: A newline separated list of CA certificates to use during SSL server certificate validation.This configuration setting is only used by client components (e.g., TCPClient) see [SSLClientCACerts](#SSLClientCACerts) for server components (e.g., TCPServer). This configuration setting can be used to optionally specify one or more CA certificates to be used when connecting to the server and verifying the server certificate. When verifying the server's certificate, the certificates trusted by the system will be used as part of the verification process. If the server's CA certificates are not installed to the trusted system store, they may be specified here so they are included when performing the verification process. This configuration setting should be set only if the server's CA certificates are not already trusted on the system and cannot be installed to the trusted system store.

The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:

```text
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw

-----END CERTIFICATE-----
```

**TLS12SignatureAlgorithms**: Defines the allowed TLS 1.2 signature algorithms when SSLProvider is set to Internal.This configuration setting specifies the allowed server certificate signature algorithms when [SSLProvider](#sslprovider-property-sslclient-component) is set to *Internal* and [SSLEnabledProtocols](#SSLEnabledProtocols) is set to allow TLS 1.2.

When specified the component will verify that the server certificate signature algorithm is among the values specified in this configuration setting. If the server certificate signature algorithm is unsupported, the component raises an exception.

The format of this value is a comma-separated list of hash-signature combinations. For instance:

```csharp
component.SSLProvider = TCPClientSSLProviders.sslpInternal;
component.Config("SSLEnabledProtocols=3072"); //TLS 1.2
component.Config("TLS12SignatureAlgorithms=sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa");
```

 The default value for this configuration setting is *sha512-ecdsa,sha512-rsa,sha512-dsa,sha384-ecdsa,sha384-rsa,sha384-dsa,sha256-ecdsa,sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha224-ecdsa,sha224-rsa,sha224-dsa,sha1-ecdsa,sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa*.

To not restrict the server's certificate signature algorithm, specify an empty string as the value for this configuration setting, which will cause the signature_algorithms TLS 1.2 extension to not be sent.

**TLS12SupportedGroups**: The supported groups for ECC.This configuration setting specifies a comma-separated list of named groups used in TLS 1.2 for ECC.

The default value is *ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1*.

When using TLS 1.2 and [SSLProvider](#sslprovider-property-sslclient-component) is set to *Internal*, the values refer to the supported groups for ECC. The following values are supported:

- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp521r1" (default)

**TLS13KeyShareGroups**: The groups for which to pregenerate key shares.This configuration setting specifies a comma-separated list of named groups used in TLS 1.3 for key exchange. The groups specified here will have key share data pregenerated locally before establishing a connection. This can prevent an additional roundtrip during the handshake if the group is supported by the server.

The default value is set to balance common supported groups and the computational resources required to generate key shares. As a result, only some groups are included by default in this configuration setting.

NOTE: All supported groups can always be used during the handshake even if not listed here, but if a group is used that is not present in this list, it will incur an additional roundtrip and time to generate the key share for that group.

In most cases, this configuration setting does not need to be modified. This should be modified only if there is a specific reason to do so.

The default value is *ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072*

The values are ordered from most preferred to least preferred. The following values are supported:

- "ecdhe_x25519" (default)
- "ecdhe_x448"
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp521r1"
- "ffdhe_2048" (default)
- "ffdhe_3072" (default)
- "ffdhe_4096"
- "ffdhe_6144"
- "ffdhe_8192"

**TLS13SignatureAlgorithms**: The allowed certificate signature algorithms.This configuration setting holds a comma-separated list of allowed signature algorithms. Possible values include the following:

- "ed25519" (default)
- "ed448" (default)
- "ecdsa_secp256r1_sha256" (default)
- "ecdsa_secp384r1_sha384" (default)
- "ecdsa_secp521r1_sha512" (default)
- "rsa_pkcs1_sha256" (default)
- "rsa_pkcs1_sha384" (default)
- "rsa_pkcs1_sha512" (default)
- "rsa_pss_sha256" (default)
- "rsa_pss_sha384" (default)
- "rsa_pss_sha512" (default)

 The default value is *rsa_pss_sha256,rsa_pss_sha384,rsa_pss_sha512,rsa_pkcs1_sha256,rsa_pkcs1_sha384,rsa_pkcs1_sha512,ecdsa_secp256r1_sha256,ecdsa_secp384r1_sha384,ecdsa_secp521r1_sha512,ed25519,ed448*. This configuration setting is applicable only when [SSLEnabledProtocols](#SSLEnabledProtocols) includes TLS 1.3.

**TLS13SupportedGroups**: The supported groups for (EC)DHE key exchange.This configuration setting specifies a comma-separated list of named groups used in TLS 1.3 for key exchange. This configuration setting should be modified only if there is a specific reason to do so.

The default value is *ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_x448,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072,ffdhe_4096,ffdhe_6144,ffdhe_8192,mlkem_512,mlkem_768,mlkem_1024,x25519_mlkem_768,secp256r1_mlkem_768*

The values are ordered from most preferred to least preferred. The following values are supported:

- "ecdhe_x25519" (default)
- "ecdhe_x448" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp521r1" (default)
- "ffdhe_2048" (default)
- "ffdhe_3072" (default)
- "ffdhe_4096" (default)
- "ffdhe_6144" (default)
- "ffdhe_8192" (default)
- "mlkem_512" (default)
- "mlkem_768" (default)
- "mlkem_1024" (default)
- "x25519_mlkem_768" (default)
- "secp256r1_mlkem_768" (default)

Post-quantum algorithms (*mlkem_512,mlkem_768,mlkem_1024,x25519_mlkem_768,secp256r1_mlkem_768*) in our components rely on the operating system's underlying cryptographic primitives. The following platforms are currently supported:

-  Windows Server 2025
-  Windows 11 24H2
-  Windows 11 25H2

### Socket Config Settings

**AbsoluteTimeout**: Determines whether timeouts are inactivity timeouts or absolute timeouts.If [AbsoluteTimeout](#AbsoluteTimeout) is set to True, any method that does not complete within [Timeout](#timeout-property-sslclient-component) seconds will be aborted. By default, *AbsoluteTimeout* is False, and the timeout is an inactivity timeout.

NOTE: This option is not valid for User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports.

**FirewallData**: Used to send extra data to the firewall.When the firewall is a tunneling proxy, use this property to send custom (additional) headers to the firewall (e.g., headers for custom authentication schemes).

**InBufferSize**: The size in bytes of the incoming queue of the socket.This is the size of an internal queue in the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be receiving. In some cases, increasing the value of the *InBufferSize* setting can provide significant improvements in performance.

Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the component is activated the *InBufferSize* reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

**OutBufferSize**: The size in bytes of the outgoing queue of the socket.This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be sending. In some cases, increasing the value of the *OutBufferSize* setting can provide significant improvements in performance.

Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the component is activated the *OutBufferSize* reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

### Base Config Settings

**BuildInfo**: Information about the product's build.When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build.

**CodePage**: The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).

**LicenseInfo**: Information about the current license.When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a component is using. It will return the following information:

- Product: The product the license is for.
- Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
- License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
- License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
- Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.

**MaskSensitiveData**: Whether sensitive data is masked in log messages.In certain circumstances it may be beneficial to mask sensitive data, like passwords, in log messages. Set this to *true* to mask sensitive data. The default is *true*.

**UseFIPSCompliantAPI**: Tells the component whether or not to use FIPS certified APIs.When set to *true*, the component will utilize the underlying operating system's certified APIs. Java editions, regardless of OS, utilize Bouncy Castle Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS), while all other Windows editions make use of Microsoft security libraries.

FIPS mode can be enabled by setting the *UseFIPSCompliantAPI* configuration setting to *true*. This is a static setting that applies to all instances of all components of the toolkit within the process. It is recommended to enable or disable this setting once before the component has been used to establish a connection. Enabling FIPS while an instance of the component is active and connected may result in unexpected behavior.

For more details, please see the [FIPS 140-2 Compliance](https://www.nsoftware.com/kb/articles/fips.rst) article.

NOTE: This setting is applicable only on Windows.

NOTE: Enabling FIPS compliance requires a special license; please contact [sales@nsoftware.com](mailto:sales@nsoftware.com) for details.

**UseInternalSecurityAPI**: Whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation. When set to *false*, the component will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable.

Setting this configuration setting to *true* tells the component to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.

 This setting is set to *false* by default on all platforms.
