ECheck Configuration

This configuration setting is used to specify a token representing a bank account when performing a transaction.

Note that this is only valid when the Gateway property is set to gwQBPayments.

Some gateways require the merchant to include the ApprovalCode from the original transaction in VoidTransaction transactions. This setting specifies the original approval code. The gateways which require this are listed below:

• gwPaymentsGateway (36)

When set to 'true', the component will perform a checksum test on the RoutingNumber when Authorize is called. This check helps identify errors within the specified RoutingNumber. Note that this check does not guarantee that the RoutingNumber is correct for the bank you wish to work with but does help in identifying mistyped numbers. The default value is 'false'.

This config is used to specify the currency code to be used in the transaction. Default values and codes vary based on the gateway. This config will be populated with the default value for the gateway when Gateway is set.

For more information on these currency code values, please refer to the ISO 4217 standard as well as the gateway specification.

If not set, "2" is sent by default. Currently only supported in the Orbital gateway.

If this setting is set to "True", the request field values will be XML escaped prior to being sent to the CyberSource gateway. If this setting is set to "False" (default), the component does not perform any XML escaping and the values are sent exactly as specified. The default value is "False".

When set to true, this config will cause the component to automatically escape the XML data in the request. The default value is false. This is currently only supported in the Authorize.Net XML gateway.

Some gateways allow for the generation of a hash for added security. The following gateways support this config.

Authorize.Net: The newest version of the protocol includes an optional Hash Secret, which may be used to verify that a server response is actually from an Authorize.Net server. The hash secret is concatenated with the MerchantLogin, TransactionId, and TransactionAmount. This value is then hashed with the MD5 algorithm and compared to the value returned by the server. If they do not match, the component throws an exception. If the AIMHashSecret is left blank, this check will not be performed. The Server's Hash Secret may be set using the Authorize.Net online merchant interface, located at https://secure.authorize.net/.

USAePay: When specified, the component will compute an MD5 hash which is used to validate the transaction authenticity. The value specified should be the pin code set for a source.

The HSBC and PayFuse gateway both allow for a merchant alias to be specified (and in some cases it may be required). This field allows you to specify the alias.

For the Litle gateway, this configuration setting should contain the Merchant Id supplied to you by Litle.

This config is used to specify the IP address of the payer, which is required by some gateways.

This may be queried after a call to any method that sends data to the gateway. This will return the request that was sent to the gateway which may be useful for troubleshooting purposes. For instance:

echeck1.Authorize()
MyString = echeck1.Config("RawRequest")

This may be queried after a call to any method that sends data to the gateway. This will return the response that was received to the gateway which may be useful for troubleshooting purposes. For instance:

echeck1.Authorize()
MyString = echeck1.Config("RawResponse")

Many gateways allow/require an Id (terminal, developer, client, user, etc) sent in additional to the MerchantLogin and MerchantPassword. This config is supported for the following gateways: Adyen (required), BarClay (required), BluePay, HSBC (required), Orbital, PayFuse (required), and Planet Payment (required). For Orbital, this config is optional but if not specified a value of '001' will be sent. Terminal Id number for the BluePay gateways.

This is an optional config for USER_ID of the BluePay Gateway

This setting can be set to an Authorize.Net opaque data descriptor in order to use it in place of explicit card or bank account information. AuthNetOpaqueValue must also be set.

This setting is only valid with the gwAuthorizeNetXML and gwAuthorizeNetCIM gateways, it cannot be used with the gwAuthorizeNet gateway.

This setting can be set to an Authorize.Net opaque data value in order to use it in place of explicit card or bank account information. AuthNetOpaqueDescriptor must also be set.

This setting is only valid with the gwAuthorizeNetXML and gwAuthorizeNetCIM gateways, it cannot be used with the gwAuthorizeNet gateway.

Determines whether to process the transaction using customer's E-Check profile. By default this configuration setting is set to False. If set to True, BASYSCheckInfoKey and MerchantCode configuration settings must also be set. For instance:

echeck.Config("MerchantCode=YourBASYSMerchantKey");
echeck.Config("BASYSProcessRecurringCheck=True");
echeck.Config("BASYSCheckInfoKey=YourBASYSCheckInfoKey");
echeck.TransactionAmount = "20.00";

echeck.Authorize();

If BASYSProcessRecurringCheck set to True this must be set to the check info key assigned to the payment method when it was added to the system.

Note: BASYSCheckInfoKey can be obtained via the RecurringBilling component.

Determines whether the Check is a Government Check. By default this configuration setting is set to False.

This setting can be set to a JSON object like the following one in order to send Enterprise UDFs when calling Authorize:

{"udf": [
  {
    "udfValue": "aaa",
    "udfName": "ENT_UDF1"
  },
  {
    "udfValue": "bbb",
    "udfName": "ENT_UDF2"
  }
]}

Setting this to an E-check transaction ID (or querying it with the TransactionId property set) will cause the component to retrieve the associated transaction and populate its fields accordingly. Please refer to the BlueSnap section of the "ECheck Gateway Setup and Required Properties" page for more information on how the component's fields map to BlueSnap's fields.

This setting can be set to a JSON object like the following one in order to send Enterprise UDFs when calling Authorize:

{"metaData": [
  {
    "metaValue": 20,
    "metaKey": "stateTaxAmount",
    "metaDescription": "State Tax Amount"
  },
  {
    "metaValue": 20,
    "metaKey": "cityTaxAmount",
    "metaDescription": "City Tax Amount"
  },
  {
    "metaValue": 10,
    "metaKey": "shippingAmount",
    "metaDescription": "Shipping Amount"
  }
]}

It is required for the Heartland (62) gateway.

By default, the Password property is sent as the "password" field in all requests. If the GoEMerchantUseGatewayId configuration setting is set to True, the component will instead treat the password as the "gateway_id" field in all requests.

The last 4 digits of the account number are required to process transactions using a stored profile Id (via MerchantPartnersProfileId) for the MerchantPartners or WorldPay Link gateways.

This field is used to specify the Profile Id of a stored profile and is used to process a transaction instead of specifying the card data. A profile is created via the RecurringBilling component and the SubscriptionId response field is used to obtain the profile Id to be set in this field. MerchantPartnersLast4Digits is a required field when using a stored profile. Note this config is only applicable to Authorize and Credit transactions processed via the MerchantPartners or WorldPay Link gateways.

This field is used to specify an account number for the Netbanx gateway which is used in addition to the MerchantLogin and MerchantPassword properties.

The Version portion of the User-Agent HTTP header is required by NetBilling. The default value is '1'.

If OrbitalConnectionPassword is set, the OrbitalConnectionUsername should also be set. This field is case-sensitive.

If OrbitalConnectionUsername is set, the OrbitalConnectionPassword should also be set.

If not set, "empty" is sent by default.

Note: This field is auto-populated to "NO" when OrbitalCustomerProfileFromOrderInd is set.

This field is used to specify the total convenience fee charged for the transaction when using the PayDirect gateway. This field is always required when using the PayDirect gateway. The sum of this field plus PayDirectMerchantAmount must always equal the value in TransactionAmount. If no values are set for either of these two configs, the component will set PayDirectMerchantAmount to the value specified in TransactionAmount and PayDirectConvenienceFee to "0.00".

This field is used to specify the total amount of goods and services for the external client when using the PayDirect gateway. This field is always required when using the PayDirect gateway. The sum of this field plus PayDirectConvenienceFee must always equal the value in TransactionAmount. If no values are set for either of these two configs, the component will set PayDirectMerchantAmount to the value specified in TransactionAmount and PayDirectConvenienceFee to "0.00".

This field is used to set Settle Merchant Code assigned by Link2Gov for the Reconciliation of funds. This field is always required when using the PayDirect gateway.

Set this config to the TransactionId from the transaction you wish to retrieve. You may also call PFPInquiry without setting it to anything. In this case the Id field is required, and the PayFlow Pro gateway will return the most recent transaction for the specified Id.

Determines whether to process the transaction using customer's E-Check profile. By default this configuration setting is set to False. If set to True, PhoeniXGateCheckInfoKey and MerchantCode configuration settings must also be set. For instance:

echeck.Config("MerchantCode=YourPhoeniXGateMerchantKey");
echeck.Config("PhoeniXGateProcessRecurringCheck=True");
echeck.Config("PhoenixGateCheckInfoKey=YourPhoeniXGateCheckInfoKey");
echeck.TransactionAmount = "20.00";

echeck.Authorize();

If PhoeniXGateProcessRecurringCheck set to True this must be set to the check info key assigned to the payment method when it was added to the system.

Note: PhoeniXGateCheckInfoKey can be obtained via the RecurringBilling component.

Determines whether the Check is a Government Check. By default this configuration setting is set to False.

Determines whether to process the transaction using customer's E-Check profile. By default this configuration setting is set to False. If set to True, RepayCheckInfoKey and MerchantCode configuration settings must also be set. For instance:

echeck.Config("MerchantCode=YourRepayMerchantKey");
echeck.Config("RepayProcessRecurringCheck=True");
echeck.Config("RepayCheckInfoKey=YourRepayCheckInfoKey");
echeck.TransactionAmount = "20.00";

echeck.Authorize();

If RepayProcessRecurringCheck set to True this must be set to the check info key assigned to the payment method when it was added to the system.

Note: RepayCheckInfoKey can be obtained via the RecurringBilling component.

Determines whether the Check is a Government Check. By default this configuration setting is set to False.

Many gateways allow/require an Id (terminal, developer, client, user, etc) sent in additional to the MerchantLogin and MerchantPassword. This config is supported for the following gateways: Adyen (required), BarClay (required), BluePay, HSBC (required), Orbital, PayFuse (required), and Planet Payment (required). For Orbital, this config is optional but if not specified a value of '001' will be sent. Terminal Id number for the BluePay gateways.

This is an optional config for USER_ID of the BluePay Gateway

When AllowHTTPCompression is true, the component adds an "Accept-Encoding: " header to the request being sent to the server. By default, this header's value is "gzip, deflate". This config allows you to change the value of the "Accept-Encoding" header. NOTE: The component only supports gzip and deflate decompression algorithms.

This setting enables HTTP compression for receiving data. When set to true, the component will accept compressed data. It will then uncompress the data it has received. The component will handle data compressed by both GZIP and Deflate compression algorithms.

When true, the component adds an "Accept-Encoding" header to the outgoing request. The value for this header can be controlled by the AcceptEncoding config. The default value for this header is "gzip, deflate".

This setting controls whether HTTP/2 connections are permitted to fallback to HTTP/1.1 when the server does not support HTTP/2. This setting is only applicable when HTTPVersion is set to "2.0".

If set to True (default) the component will automatically use HTTP/1.1 if the server does not support HTTP/2. If set to False the component throws an exception if the server does not support HTTP/2.

The default value is True.

This setting only applies when AuthScheme is set to Negotiate. If set to True the component will automatically use NTLM if the server does not support Negotiate authentication. Note that the server must indicate it supports NTLM authentication via the WWW-Authenticate header for the fallback from Negotiate to NTLM to take place. The default value is False.

This setting determines whether data is appended when writing to LocalFile. When set to True downloaded data will be appended to LocalFile. This may be used in conjunction with Range to resume a failed download. This is only applicable when LocalFile is set. The default value is False.

If the Authorization property contains a non-empty string, an Authorization HTTP request header is added to the request. This header conveys Authorization information to the server.

This property is provided so that the HTTP component can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the component.

The AuthScheme property defines the authentication scheme used. In the case of HTTP Basic Authentication (default), every time User and Password are set, they are Base64 encoded, and the result is put in the Authorization property in the form "Basic [encoded-user-password]".

Returns the raw number of bytes from the HTTP response data, prior to the component processing the data, whether it is chunked and/or compressed. This returns the same value as the Transfer event, by BytesTransferred.

If set to True the URL passed to the component will be URL encoded. The default value is False.

This option determines what happens when the server issues a redirect. Normally, the component returns an error if the server responds with an "Object Moved" message. If this property is set to 1 (always), the new URL for the object is retrieved automatically every time.

If this property is set to 2 (Same Scheme), the new URL is retrieved automatically only if the URL Scheme is the same, otherwise the component throws an exception.

Note that following the HTTP specification, unless this option is set to 1 (Always), automatic redirects will be performed only for 'GET' or 'HEAD' requests. Other methods could potentially change the conditions of the initial request and create security vulnerabilities.

Furthermore, if either the new URL server and port are different than the existing one, User and Password are also reset to empty, unless this property is set to 1 (Always), in which case the same credentials are used to connect to the new server.

A Redirect event is fired for every URL the product is redirected to. In the case of automatic redirections, the Redirect event is a good place to set properties related to the new connection (e.g. new authentication parameters).

The default value is 0 (Never). In this case, redirects are never followed, and the component throws an exception instead.

Valid options are:

• 0 - Never
• 1 - Always
• 2 - Same Scheme

The default value is false. If set to true the component will perform a GET on the new location. Otherwise it will use the same HTTP method again.

This property specifies the HTTP version used by the component. Possible values are:

• "1.0"
• "1.1" (default)
• "2.0"

When using HTTP/2 ("2.0") additional restrictions apply. Please see notes below for details.

HTTP/2 Notes

When using HTTP/2 only secure (TLS/SSL) connections are currently supported. Attempting to use a plaintext URL with HTTP/2 will result in an error.

If the server does not support HTTP/2 the component will automatically use HTTP/1.1 instead. This is done in order to provide compatibility without the need for any additional settings. To see which version was used check NegotiatedHTTPVersion after calling a method. The AllowHTTPFallback setting controls whether this behavior is allowed (default) or disallowed.

HTTP/2 is supported on all versions of Windows. If the Windows version is prior to Windows 8.1/Windows Server 2012 R2 the internal security implementation will be used. If the Windows version is Window 8.1/Windows Server 2012 R2 or later the system security libraries will be used by default.

HTTP/2 servers maintain a dynamic table of headers and values seen over the course of a connection. Typically these headers are inserted into the table via incremental indexing. To tell the component not to use incremental indexing for certain headers, and thus not update the dynamic table, set this configuration option to a comma-delimited list of the header names.

If this setting contains a non-empty string, an If-Modified-Since HTTP header is added to the request. The value of this header is used to make the HTTP request conditional: if the requested documented has not been modified since the time specified in the field, a copy of the document will not be returned from the server; instead, a 304 (not modified) response will be returned by the server and the component throws an exception

The format of the date value for IfModifiedSince is detailed in the HTTP specs. An example is:

Sat, 29 Oct 2017 19:43:31 GMT.

If true, the component will not send the 'Connection: Close' header. The absence of the Connection header indicates to the server that HTTP persistent connections should be used if supported. Note that not all server support persistent connections. You may also explicitly add the Keep-Alive header to the request headers by setting OtherHeaders to 'Connection: Keep-Alive'. If false, the connection will be closed immediately after the server response is received.

The default value for KeepAlive is false.

This setting controls the level of detail that is logged through the Log event. Possible values are:

The value 1 (Info) logs basic information including the URL, HTTP version, and status details.

The value 2 (Verbose) additionally logs the content of the request and response including the headers and body for both the request and response.

The value 3 (Debug) logs additional debug information (if any).

This config should be set when the TransferredHeaders collection is to be populated when a Header event has been fired. This value represents the number of headers that are to be saved in the collection.

To save all items to the collection , set this config to -1. If no items are wanted, set this to 0, which will not save any to the collection . The default for this config is -1, so all items will be included in the collection .

This config should be set when populating the Cookies collection as a result of an HTTP request. This value represents the number of cookies that are to be saved in the collection .

To save all items to the collection , set this config to -1. If no items are wanted, set this to 0, which will not save any to the collection . The default for this config is -1, so all items will be included in the collection .

When FollowRedirects is set to any value besides frNever the component will follow redirects until this maximum number of redirect attempts are made. The default value is 20.

This setting may be queried after the request is complete to indicate the HTTP version used. When HTTPVersion is set to "2.0" if the server does not support "2.0" the component will fallback to using "1.1" automatically. This setting will indicate which was used.

This configuration option can be set to a string of headers to be appended to the HTTP request headers.

The headers must be of the format "header: value" as described in the HTTP specifications. Header lines should be separated by CRLF ("\r\n") .

Use this configuration option with caution. If this configuration option contains invalid headers, HTTP requests may fail.

This configuration option is useful for extending the functionality of the component beyond what is provided.

Similar to the Authorization config, but for proxy authorization. If this config contains a non-empty string, a Proxy-Authorization HTTP request header is added to the request. This header conveys proxy authorization information to the server. If User and Password are specified, this value is calculated using the algorithm specified by AuthScheme.

This is the same as AuthScheme. This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

This is the same as Password. This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

This is the same as Port. This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

This is the same as Server. This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

This is the same as User. This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

This setting contains the contents of the last response from the server.

If TransferredDataLimit is set to 0 (default), no limits are imposed. Otherwise this reflects the maximum number of incoming bytes that can be stored by the component.

This configuration setting returns the complete set of raw headers as received from the server.

If UseChunkedEncoding is set to true, the component will use HTTP chunked encoding when posting if possible. HTTP chunked encoding allows large files to be sent in chunks instead of all at once. If set to false, the component will not use HTTP chunked encoding. The default value is false.

Note: Some servers (such as the ASP.NET Development Server) may not support chunked encoding.

This is only applicable when UseChunkedEncoding is true. This setting specifies the chunk size in bytes to be used when posting data. The default value is 16384.

If True, the component will use the default HTTP client for the platform (URLConnection in Java, WebRequest in .NET, or CFHTTPMessage in Mac/iOS) instead of the internal HTTP implementation. This is important for environments where direct access to sockets is limited or not allowed (as in the Google AppEngine for instance).

This is the value supplied in the HTTP User-Agent header. The default setting is "IPWorks HTTP Component - www.nsoftware.com".

Override the default with the name and version of your software.

If the Service Principal Name on the Kerberos Domain Controller is not the same as the URL that you are authenticating to, the Service Principal Name should be set here.

When set, this configuration setting allows you to specify a different timeout value for establishing a connection. Otherwise, the component will use Timeout for establishing a connection and transmitting/receiving data.

This is the same as AutoDetect. This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

If a FirewallHost is given, requested connections will be authenticated through the specified firewall when connecting.

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

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

This entry is for IPPort only and does not work for other components that descend from IPPort.

If this entry is set, the component acts as a server. RemoteHost and RemotePort are used to tell the SOCKS firewall in which address and port to listen to. The firewall rules may ignore RemoteHost, and it is recommended that RemoteHost be set to empty string in this case.

RemotePort is the port in which the firewall will listen to. If set to 0, the firewall will select a random port. The binding (address and port) is provided through the ConnectionStatus event.

The connection to the firewall is made by calling the Connect method.

If FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword settings are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the component throws an exception.

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

Note that the FirewallPort is set automatically when FirewallType is set to a valid value.

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

The appropriate values are as follows:

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

If the FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword settings are used to connect and authenticate to the Firewall. If the authentication fails, the component throws an exception.

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

When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to true. By default the operating system will determine the time a connection is idle before a 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.

Note: This value is not applicable in Java.

When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to true. A TCP keep-alive packet will be sent after a period of inactivity as defined by KeepAliveTime. If no acknowledgement is received from the remote host the keep-alive packet will be re-sent. This 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 Java or MAC.

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

In the case that Linger is True (default), there are two scenarios for determining how long the connection will linger. The first, if LingerTime is 0 (default), the system will attempt to send pending data for a connection until the default IP protocol timeout expires.

In the second scenario, LingerTime is a positive value, the system will attempt to send pending data until the specified 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 is 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 (by a client acknowledgment, for example), setting this property to False might be the appropriate course of action.

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

The LocalHost 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 multi-homed 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 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 multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

This 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 after the connection is established.

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

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

MaxLineLength is the size of an internal buffer, which holds received data while waiting for an EOL string.

If an EOL string is found in the input stream before MaxLineLength bytes are received, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to True, and the buffer is reset.

If no EOL is found, and MaxLineLength bytes are accumulated in the buffer, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to False, and the buffer is reset.

The minimum value for MaxLineLength is 256 bytes. The default value is 2048 bytes. The maximum value is 65536 bytes.

This 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.

This 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.nsoftware.com

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 and KeepAliveInterval to configure the timing of the keep-alive packets.

Note: This value is not applicable in Java.

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:

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

This setting determines whether the input or output stream is closed after the transfer completes. When set to True (default), all streams will be closed after a transfer is completed. In order to keep streams open after the transfer of data, set this to False. the default value is True.

When true, the socket will send all data that is ready to send at once. When false, the socket will send smaller buffered packets of data at small intervals. This is known as the Nagle algorithm.

By default, this config is set to false.

This setting specifies the paths on disk to CA certificate files when using Mono on Unix/Linux. It is not applicable in any other circumstances.

The value is formatted as a list of paths separated by semicolons. The component will check for the existence of each file in the order specified. When a file is found the CA certificates within the file will be loaded and used to determine the validity of server certificates.

The default value is:

/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem;/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt;/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt;/etc/pki/tls/cacert.pem

When the UseInternalSecurityAPI configuration setting is True, this setting controls whether SSL packets should be logged. By default, this setting is False, as it is only useful for debugging purposes.

When enabled, SSL packet logs are output using the SSLStatus event, which will fire each time an SSL packet is sent or received.

Enabling this setting has no effect if UseInternalSecurityAPI is False.

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.

This minimum cipher strength 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.

Please note that this setting contains the minimum cipher strength requested from the security library. The actual cipher strength used for the connection is shown by the SSLStatus event.

Use this 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 is currently not supported. This functionality is instead made available through the OpenSSLCipherList config setting.

Used to enable/disable the supported security protocols.

Not all supported protocols are enabled by default (the value of this setting is 4032). If you want more granular control over the enabled protocols, you can set this property to the binary 'OR' of one or more of the following values:

When the provider is OpenSSL, SSLCipherStrength is currently not supported. This functionality is instead made available through the OpenSSLCipherList setting.

Note: TLS 1.1 and TLS1.2 support are only available starting with Windows 7.

Note: Enabling TLS 1.3 will automatically set UseInternalSecurityAPI to True.

This setting specifies whether the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication 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 event.

If set to True all certificates returned by the server will be present in the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event. This includes the leaf certificate, any intermediate certificate, and the root certificate.

Note: When UseInternalSecurityAPI is set to True this value is automatically set to True. This is needed for proper validation when using the internal provider.

Change this setting to use security providers other than the system default.

Use this setting with caution. Disabling SSL security or pointing to the wrong provider could potentially cause serious security vulnerabilities in your application.

The special value "*" (default) picks the default SSL provider defined in the system.

The special value "Internal" picks the internal SSL implementation. This does not rely on any system libraries. This is equivalent to setting UseInternalSecurityAPI to True.

Note: On Windows systems, the default SSL Provider is "Microsoft Unified Security Protocol Provider" and cannot be changed except to a value of "Internal".

The following flags are defined (specified in hexadecimal notation). They can be or-ed together to exclude multiple conditions:

This functionality is currently not available in Java or when the provider is OpenSSL.

This setting specifies one or more CA certificates to be included in the request when performing SSL client authentication. Some servers require the entire chain, including CA certificates, to be presented when performing SSL client authentication. The value of this setting is a newline (CrLf) separated list of certificates. For instance:

The enabled 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 is set to any other value, only the specified cipher suites will be considered.

Multiple cipher suites are separated by semicolons.

Example values when UseInternalSecurityAPI is False (default):

obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=*");
obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=CALG_AES_256");
obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=CALG_AES_256;CALG_3DES");

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

• TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
• TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
• TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256

SSLEnabledCipherSuites is used together with SSLCipherStrength.

This setting specifies the allowed server certificate signature algorithms when UseInternalSecurityAPI is True and 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 setting. If the server certificate signature algorithm is unsupported the component throws an exception.

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

IPPort.Config("UseInternalSecurityAPI=true");
IPPort.Config("SSLEnabledProtocols=3072"); //TLS 1.2
IPPort.Config("TLS12SignatureAlgorithms=sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa,sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa");

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

This 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 UseInternalSecurityAPI is set to True, the values refer to the supported groups for ECC. The following values are supported:

• "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
• "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
• "ecdhe_secp521r1" (default)

This 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 round trip 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 setting.

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

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

The default value is ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072

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

• "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
• "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
• "ecdhe_secp521r1"
• "ffdhe_2048" (default)
• "ffdhe_3072" (default)
• "ffdhe_4096"
• "ffdhe_6144"
• "ffdhe_8192"

This setting specifies a comma separated list of named groups used in TLS 1.3 for key exchange. This setting should only be modified if there is a specific reason to do so.

The default value is ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072,ffdhe_4096,ffdhe_6144,ffdhe_8192

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

• "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
• "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
• "ecdhe_secp521r1" (default)

• "ffdhe_3072" (default)
• "ffdhe_4096" (default)
• "ffdhe_6144" (default)
• "ffdhe_8192" (default)

This setting holds a comma separated list of allowed signature algorithms. Possible values are:

• "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)

If AbsoluteTimeout is set to True, any method which does not complete within Timeout seconds will be aborted. By default, AbsoluteTimeout is False, and the timeout is an inactivity timeout.

Note: This option is not valid for UDP ports.

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).

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 receiving. Increasing the value of the InBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in performance in some cases.

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.

In a GUI-based application, long-running blocking operations may cause the application to stop responding to input until the operation returns. The component will attempt to discover whether or not the application has a message loop and, if one is discovered, it will process events in that message loop during any such blocking operation.

In some non-GUI applications an invalid message loop may be discovered that will result in errant behavior. In these cases, setting GuiAvailable to false will ensure that the component does not attempt to process external events.

If set to True, when the component creates a thread the thread's IsBackground property will be explicitly set to True. By default this setting is False.

By default the component will use the system security libraries to perform cryptographic functions. When set to False calls to unmanaged code will be made. In certain environments this is not desirable. To use a completely managed security implementation set this setting to True. Setting this to True tells the component to use the internal implementation instead of using the system's security API.

Note: This setting is static. The value set is applicable to all components used in the application.

When this value is set the product's system DLL is no longer required as a reference, as all unmanaged code is stored in that file.
