Remarks

The Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) protocol provides a standardized way to add Single Sign-on (SSO) to applications. Service Providers (i.e., your application) using SAML-based SSO can eliminate the need to store and manage user passwords. When using SAML, the responsibility of identifying a user can be shifted to the Identity Provider.

In a Web environment, this is typically done by redirecting a user with a SAML request from your application to the Identity Provider's login page where a user already has an account. The user will login, and the Identity Provider will return an assertion in a SAML response, which is a set of information about the user and the authentication steps taken to identify the user.

When a Service Provider (i.e., your web application) receives this SAML response, it will verify both the SAML response and its accompanying assertion to ensure that both were requested by the Service Provider and issued by the Identity Provider. Once the SAML response and assertion have been verified, the assertion will typically contain attributes about the user and its profile with the Identity Provider.

SAML also supports Single Logout (SLO) that can be used to log a user out of the Identity Provider and, depending on the configuration of the Identity Provider, all other accounts that used the Identity Provider to authenticate the user.

Setup

To get started with the class, information about the Identity Provider is needed. Typically, this information is provided by a SAML Metadata Document that is either provided during the setup or requested from a URI. The RequestIdentityMetadata and LoadIdentityMetadata methods are both ways to populate the IdentityProviderMetadata, IdentityProviderSigningCert, and IdentityProviderURIs properties.

Usage: Requesting and Reloading the Identity Provider Metadata Document

saml.RequestIdentityMetadata("https://example.com/federationmetadata/federationmetadata.xml"); string raw_document = saml.IdentityProviderMetadata.MetadataContent; //... saml.LoadIdentityMetadata(raw_document, true);

Additionally, the class needs to be configured with the information about the Service Provider (i.e., your application). The ServiceProviderMetadata, ServiceProviderSigningCert, and ServiceProviderURIs properties can be used to provide information about the Service Provider. These are used by the class to build a valid SAML request and to verify the SAML response and its assertions. Additionally, to easily supply this information to an Identity Provider, the BuildServiceMetadata method can be used to create a SAML Metadata Document that describes your application (the Service Provider) to the Identity Provider.

Usage: Configuring Service Provider Metadata

saml.ServiceProviderMetadata.EntityId = "ServiceProviderId"; saml.ServiceProviderMetadata.AuthnRequestSigned = true; saml.ServiceProviderMetadata.WantAssertionsSigned = true; saml.ServiceProviderSigningCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPFXFile, "cert.pfx", "password", "*"); URI acs = new URI(); acs.URIType = SAMLURITypes.sutACS; acs.Location = "https://service_provider.com/acs/"; acs.BindingType = subPost; saml.ServiceProviderURIs.Add(acs); URI logout = new URI(); logout.URIType = SAMLURITypes.sutLogout; logout.Location = "https://service_provider.com/logout/"; logout.Binding = subRedirect; saml.ServiceProviderURIs.Add(acs); saml.BuildServiceMetadata();

Authentication Request

Once configured, the BuildAuthnRequest method can be used to build a SAML request that has been configured by the SAMLRequestSettings. Additionally, to provide state information between the request and the response, the RelayState property can be set. Typically the RelayState property can be used to return a user back to the location within the application once they have been authenticated. After the request has been created, the SAMLRequestId and SAMLRequestIssuer properties need to be saved for verification purposes. The SAMLRequestIssuer property will be used to check that the SAML response is meant for this Service Provider. The SAMLRequestId property is used to verify that the response corresponds to a request that was made by the Service Provider.

Usage: Building an Authn Request

saml.SAMLRequestSettings.Issuer = "ServiceProviderId"; saml.SAMLRequestSettings.RequestBinding = SAMLRequestBindings.srbHTTPRedirect; saml.SAMLRequestSettings.SignRequest = true; saml.RelayState = "https://service_provider.com/landing"; saml.BuildAuthnRequest(); string requestId = saml.SAMLRequestSettings.Id; //save for later

Depending on how the SAMLRequestRequestBinding property is configured, the results will be provided through the SAMLRequestBody and SAMLRequestURL properties. Using the information from the properties, the user that needs identifying should be directed to the SAMLRequestURL. If using the srbHTTPRedirect binding, this is typically done by redirecting the user to the URL. This URL will contain the SAMLRequest and RelayState as query parameters that are parsed by the Identity Provider. If using the srbHTTPPost binding, this is done by using an HTML form post as seen below:

string htmlContent = $@" <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>SAML POST</title> </head> <body onload='document.forms[0].submit()'> <form method='post' action='{saml.SAMLRequestURL}'> <input type='hidden' name='SAMLRequest' value='{saml.SAMLRequestBody}'/> <input type='hidden' name='RelayState' value='{saml.RelayState}'/> </form> </body> </html>";

Authentication Response

Once the user has completed authentication, the Identity Provider will return the user to the Assertion Consumer Service (ASC) URI that was configured in the ServiceProviderURIs properties. If authentication was successful, this response should also contain an assertion as well as information about the authentication context.

To handle an incoming HTTP request that contains the SAML response, the ProcessSAMLResponse or ParseSAMLResponse methods can be used. To provide the HTTP headers and body that contain the SAML response directly to the class, the SAMLResponseHeaders and SAMLResponseBody properties can be set before calling ParseSAMLResponse or ProcessSAMLResponse. For example:

saml.SAMLResponseBody = "HTTP Body"; saml.SAMLResponseHeaders = "HTTP Headers";

If working in a framework that does not provide the raw HTTP request that contains the SAML response to the application, the SAMLResponseResponseContent can be set directly with the SAML response before calling the ProcessSAMLResponse or ParseSAMLResponse methods.

Once the HTTP request that contains the SAML response has been provided, the application can then call the ProcessSAMLResponse method. While the ProcessSAMLResponse method processes the SAML response, the class fires the SAMLResponse and Assertion events. These events can be used to provide the class the information needed to correctly verify the SAML response such as the SAMLRequestId and SAMLRequestIssuer properties that were saved after creating the SAML request. If the SAML response and assertion are valid, the method will return without any errors. Additionally, the SAMLResponseInfo, AssertionInfo, AssertionAttributeInfo, and AssertionAuthnInfo properties will be populated. saml.RequestIdentityMetadata("https://example.com/federationmetadata/federationmetadata.xml"); //Setup Service Provider URI acs = new URI(); acs.URIType = SAMLURITypes.sutACS; acs.Location = "https://service_provider.com/acs/"; acs.BindingType = URIBindings.subPost saml.ServiceProviderURIs.Add(acs); //Provide information about the SAML request. saml.SAMLRequestSettings.Issuer = "ServiceProviderId"; saml.SAMLRequestSettings.Id = requestId; saml.ProcessSAMLResponse();

The ProcessSAMLResponse method performs multiple steps automatically, making it a simple method to handle the SAML response. The method is the equivalent to calling the ParseSAMLResponse, ValidateSAMLResponse, ParseAssertion, and ValidateAssertion methods. These methods can be used in place of calling ProcessSAMLResponse if there are additional considerations or extra control is needed by your application. saml.ParseSAMLResponse(); saml.ValidateSAMLResponse(); saml.ParseAssertion(); saml.ValidateAssertion();

Assertions

The SAML 2.0 specification gives Identity Providers many different options for what can be included in an assertion. In the Web SSO profile, typically the assertion will contain the Issuer, Signature, Subject, Conditions, AttributeStatement, and AuthnStatement. Information found from the Issuer, Signature, Subject, and Conditions sections of the assertion can be found in the AssertionInfo property. Along with providing information about the assertion, these fields are also used to verify the assertion. An important field to note is the AssertionSubjectNameId property. This property provides the unique identifier for the user which can be used for authorization purposes. See below for information about the AttributeStatement and AuthnStatement sections.

Assertion Authentication Context

The AuthnStatement section is used by the Identity Provider to provide the Service Provider with information about its authentication session with the user. The statement is parsed to the AssertionAuthnInfo property. Some commonly used information is how the user authenticated with the Identity Provider (see AssertionAuthnInfoContextClassReference) and the session identifier created by the Identity Provider for the Service Provider (see AssertionAuthnInfoSessionIndex).

Assertion Attributes

Along with the AssertionSubjectNameId, the Identity Provider may give additional information about the user in the AttributeStatement section. What exactly is provided depends on how the connection between the Identity Provider and Service Provider was configured. Since there is no defined list of attributes, the AssertionAttributeInfo properties will be populated with each attribute found. Each attribute has a name and one or more values. For example, take the following attribute that describes a list of emails attached to the user.

<Attribute Name="verified_emails"> <AttributeValue>email@test.com</AttributeValue> <AttributeValue>other@example.com</AttributeValue> </Attribute>

In this assertion attribute statement, the user has two emails that have been verified. There are two ways to get this information using the SAML class. First, using the collection, the application can iterate through the collection for the attribute and then iterate through the associated values. Using this method is useful if there are multiple acceptable names for the attributes that could be accepted. For example: List<string> verified_emails = new List<string>(); for (int i = 0; i < saml.AssertionAttributeInfo.Count; i++) { if (saml.AssertionAttributeInfo[i].Name == "verified_emails" || saml.AssertionAttributeInfo[i].Name == "verified_email") { for (int j = 0; j < saml.AssertionAttributeInfo[i].AttributeValueCount; j++) { saml.AssertionAttributeInfo[i].AttributeValueIndex = j; verified_emails.Add(saml.AssertionAttributeInfo[i].AttributeValueData); } } }

The other option is to use the GetAssertionAttribute method. This method will search the assertion's attribute statement for the first attribute with a matching name. Like in the example above, if the attribute has multiple values, the method will return them in a semicolon-separated list. This method simplifies the process of searching the collection for a specific attribute if the name of the attribute is known ahead of time. For example: string[] verified_emails = saml.GetAssertionAttribute("verified_emails").Split(';');

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

If this property is set to frSameScheme (2), the new URL is retrieved automatically only if the URLScheme is the same; otherwise, the class fails with an error.

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

Furthermore, if either the new URL server or port are different from the existing one, User and Password are also reset to empty. If, however, this property is set to frAlways (1), 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 frNever (0). In this case, redirects are never followed, and the class fails with an error instead.

When validating a SAML response or assertion, this property is used to provide the Id of the request to the class. The SAML response and assertion both have an InResponseTo attribute that needs to match this property. See SAMLRequestInResponseTo for more information. This is important, to check to ensure that the SAML response or assertion was in response to a request that was made by this application.

Due to needing the value for validation purposes this setting, (along with the SAMLRequestIssuer property) should be cached in a secure location for later. This Id should match the Id of the InResponseTo attribute of the matching SAMLResponse . Due to this, after BuildAuthnRequest or BuildLogoutRequest is used to create a request, this setting

The type of binding that is supported for this URI. The class only supports using the HTTP Redirect and HTTP POST bindings. The HTTP Artifact and other bindings are informational, and support for them must be implemented directly.

When setting this property, the ServiceProviderURIBindingRef property will also be updated with the matching URI. The exception is the subCustom value, which allows for any value to be placed in the ServiceProviderURIBindingRef property.

If the ServiceProviderURIBindingRef property is set, during the processing of a metadata document the class will attempt to set this property as well with the matching value. If it can't, subCustom will be used instead.

23 (cstPKCS11)The certificate is present on a physical security key accessible via a PKCS#11 interface.

To use a security key, the necessary data must first be collected using the CERTMGR class. The ListStoreCertificates method may be called after setting CertStoreType to cstPKCS11, CertStorePassword to the PIN, and CertStore to the full path of the PKCS#11 DLL. The certificate information returned in the CertList event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use.

When using a certificate, pass the previously saved security key information as the SSLAcceptServerCertStore and set SSLAcceptServerCertStorePassword to the PIN.

Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key: certmgr.CertStoreType = CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11; certmgr.OnCertList += (s, e) => { secKeyBlob = e.CertEncoded; }; certmgr.CertStore = @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll"; certmgr.CertStorePassword = "123456"; //PIN certmgr.ListStoreCertificates(); sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, secKeyBlob, "123456", "*"); sftp.SSHUser = "test"; sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);

The class supports both public and private keys in a variety of formats. When the cstAuto value is used, the class will automatically determine the type. This property can take one of the following values:

0 (cstUser - default)For Windows, this specifies that the certificate store is a certificate store owned by the current user.

Note: This store type is not available in Java.

1 (cstMachine)For Windows, this specifies that the certificate store is a machine store.

Note: This store type is not available in Java.

2 (cstPFXFile)The certificate store is the name of a PFX (PKCS#12) file containing certificates.
3 (cstPFXBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in PFX (PKCS#12) format.
4 (cstJKSFile)The certificate store is the name of a Java Key Store (JKS) file containing certificates.

Note: This store type is only available in Java.

5 (cstJKSBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in Java Key Store (JKS) format.

Note: This store type is only available in Java.

6 (cstPEMKeyFile)The certificate store is the name of a PEM-encoded file that contains a private key and an optional certificate.
7 (cstPEMKeyBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) that contains a private key and an optional certificate.

22 (cstBCFKSBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in BCFKS (Bouncy Castle FIPS Key Store) format.

Note: This store type is only available in Java and .NET.

23 (cstPKCS11)The certificate is present on a physical security key accessible via a PKCS#11 interface.

To use a security key, the necessary data must first be collected using the CERTMGR class. The ListStoreCertificates method may be called after setting CertStoreType to cstPKCS11, CertStorePassword to the PIN, and CertStore to the full path of the PKCS#11 DLL. The certificate information returned in the CertList event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use.

When using a certificate, pass the previously saved security key information as the SSLServerCertStore and set SSLServerCertStorePassword to the PIN.

Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key: certmgr.CertStoreType = CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11; certmgr.OnCertList += (s, e) => { secKeyBlob = e.CertEncoded; }; certmgr.CertStore = @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll"; certmgr.CertStorePassword = "123456"; //PIN certmgr.ListStoreCertificates(); sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, secKeyBlob, "123456", "*"); sftp.SSHUser = "test"; sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);

99 (cstAuto)The store type is automatically detected from the input data. This setting may be used with both public and private keys and can detect any of the supported formats automatically.

BuildAuthnRequest Method (CloudSSO_SAML Class)

Builds an Authentication Request.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doBuildAuthnRequest();

Procedural Interface

cloudsso_saml_do_buildauthnrequest($res);

Remarks

Using the SAMLRequestSettings, this method will build a SAML request meant for authenticating the current user. To help keep track of a user's state in your application, the RelayState property can be set to add a RelayState to the request. The value set in the RelayState property will then be present in the response from the Identity Provider.

The Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) that should handle the response specified in the request depends on how SAMLRequestSettings is configured. If SAMLRequestUseDefaultEndpoint is set, the request will specify that the Identity Provider should use the URI that is configured as the default. If SAMLRequestSelectedEndpoint is set, the class will use that index in the request. Otherwise, the class will select the first URI set in the ServiceProviderURIs properties.

After the request is built, the following properties are set depending on how the SAMLRequestRequestBinding property is set.

Example: Redirect Binding

saml.SAMLRequestSettings.Issuer = "ServiceProviderId"; saml.SAMLRequestSettings.RequestBinding = SAMLRequestBindings.srbHTTPRedirect; saml.SAMLRequestSettings.SignRequest = true; saml.RelayState = "https://service_provider.com/landing"; saml.BuildAuthnRequest(); string requestId = saml.SAMLRequestSettings.Id; //save for later

Example: HTML Post Binding

string htmlContent = $@" <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>SAML POST</title> </head> <body onload='document.forms[0].submit()'> <form method='post' action='{saml.SAMLRequestURL}'> <input type='hidden' name='SAMLRequest' value='{saml.SAMLRequestBody}'/> <input type='hidden' name='RelayState' value='{saml.RelayState}'/> </form> </body> </html>";

BuildLogoutRequest Method (CloudSSO_SAML Class)

Builds a Single Logout request.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doBuildLogoutRequest($nameidentifier);

Procedural Interface

cloudsso_saml_do_buildlogoutrequest($res, $nameidentifier);

Remarks

This method uses the SAMLRequestSettings property to build a SAML logout request that is meant for logging out the user identified by the NameIdentifier parameter. To help keep track of a user's state in your application, the RelayState property can be set to add a RelayState to the request. The value set in the RelayState property will then be present in the response from the Identity Provider. Typically, if supported, the Identity Provider will also issue logout requests for all other sessions that are active for the user. If a user is part of an active session, the SAMLRequestSessionIndex setting can be used to provide the user's current session index to be included in the logout request.

After the request is built, the following properties are set depending on how the SAMLRequestRequestBinding property is set.

BuildLogoutResponse Method (CloudSSO_SAML Class)

Builds a Single Logout response.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doBuildLogoutResponse();

Procedural Interface

cloudsso_saml_do_buildlogoutresponse($res);

Remarks

This method uses the LogoutResponseSettings property to build a SAML logout response that is meant to respond to a logout request for a specific user.

After the request is built, the following properties are set depending on how the LogoutResponseResponseBinding property is set.

BuildServiceMetadata Method (CloudSSO_SAML Class)

Builds a metadata document for a service provider.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doBuildServiceMetadata();

Procedural Interface

cloudsso_saml_do_buildservicemetadata($res);

Remarks

This method uses the ServiceProviderMetadata property to create a new federation metadata document that describes the service provider. This is typically used to provide information about the service provider to the identity provider.

The following fields and properties are used:

Config Method (CloudSSO_SAML Class)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doConfig($configurationstring);

Procedural Interface

cloudsso_saml_do_config($res, $configurationstring);

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, 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, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

DoEvents Method (CloudSSO_SAML Class)

This method processes events from the internal message queue.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doEvents();

Procedural Interface

cloudsso_saml_do_doevents($res);

Remarks

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

ValidateAssertion Method (CloudSSO_SAML Class)

Validates an assertion.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doValidateAssertion();

Procedural Interface

cloudsso_saml_do_validateassertion($res);

Remarks

This method validates the assertion found in the AssertionInfo property. If an assertion is validated properly, then the user of the application can be authenticated as the subject of the assertion. If the validation fails, then the user should not be authenticated to the application.

The assertion can either be manually set via the AssertionAssertionContent property or by first calling ParseSAMLResponse on a SAML response that contains an assertion. Before attempting this validation, the Assertion event provides an opportunity to configure the class to successfully validate the assertion. If the validation fails at any point, the method will throw an exception with the error code corresponding to the reason.

The following checks are performed on the assertion:

Validation Check Required Property or Field
Signature IdentityProviderSigningCert
Issuer Element Identity Provider's IdentityProviderMetadataEntityId
InResponseTo Attribute SAMLRequestId
Recipient Attribute ACS URI in ServiceProviderURIs
NotBefore Attribute N/A
NotOnOrAfter Attribute (Expiration Date) N/A
SessionNotOnOrAfter Attribute (Expiration Date) N/A

To skip certain checks, see AssertionValidationFlags.

ValidateLogoutRequest Method (CloudSSO_SAML Class)

Validates a SAML logout request.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doValidateLogoutRequest();

Procedural Interface

cloudsso_saml_do_validatelogoutrequest($res);

Remarks

This method validates a logout request. If a logout request is successfully validated, then the application should use the LogoutRequestNameId and LogoutRequestSessionIndex properties to logout the user from their current session with the application.

The logout request must first be parsed by calling the ParseLogoutRequest method. Before attempting validation, the LogoutRequest event provides an opportunity to configure the class to successfully validate the logout request.

The following checks are performed on the Logout Request:

Validation Check Required Property or Field
Signature (if found) IdentityProviderSigningCert
Issuer Element Identity Provider's IdentityProviderMetadataEntityId
Destination Attribute Logout URIs in ServiceProviderURIs
NotOnOrAfter Attribute (Expiration Date) N/A

To skip certain checks, see LogoutRequestValidationFlags. Note that this method does not validate the assertion if one is found within the SAML response. See ValidateAssertion and ParseAssertion for more information on validating and parsing the assertion.

ValidateSAMLResponse Method (CloudSSO_SAML Class)

Validates a SAML response.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doValidateSAMLResponse();

Procedural Interface

cloudsso_saml_do_validatesamlresponse($res);

Remarks

This method validates a SAML response. If a SAML response is successfully validated and in response to an authentication request, then the assertion should be parsed and validated to finish the authentication process. If it is in response to a logout request, then the application should finish it's logout process for the user.

The SAML response must first be parsed by calling the ParseSAMLResponse method. Before attempting validation, the SAMLResponse event provides an opportunity to configure the class to successfully validate the SAML response.

The following checks are performed on the SAML response:

Validation Check Required Property or Field
Signature (if found) IdentityProviderSigningCert
Issuer Element Identity Provider's IdentityProviderMetadataEntityId
InResponseTo Attribute SAMLRequestId
Destination Attribute ACS URIs in ServiceProviderURIs
Status Element N/A

LogLevel indicates the level of message. Possible values are as follows:

0 (None) No events are logged.
1 (Info - default) Informational events are logged.
2 (Verbose) Detailed data are logged.
3 (Debug) Debug data are logged.

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

The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.

The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).

Message is the log entry.

LogType identifies the type of log entry. Possible values are as follows:

  • "Info"
  • "RequestHeaders"
  • "ResponseHeaders"
  • "RequestBody"
  • "ResponseBody"
  • "ProxyRequest"
  • "ProxyResponse"
  • "FirewallRequest"
  • "FirewallResponse"

LogoutRequest Event (CloudSSO_SAML Class)

Fired when a logout request is validated.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireLogoutRequest($param);

Procedural Interface

cloudsso_saml_register_callback($res, 4, array($this, 'fireLogoutRequest'));

Parameter List

 'issuer'

Remarks

This event is fired before the logout request is validated. This event allows certain settings to be configured before the validation checks happen to ensure the logout request is validated correctly. See ValidateLogoutRequest for more information about the validation process.

The Issuer parameter is the ID attribute parsed from the current logout request. When validating, the ID attribute needs to match the IdentityProviderMetadataEntityId property for validation to succeed. If there are multiple Identity Providers supported, this parameter allows you to configure the class for the specified Identity Provider before continuing with validation.

Redirect Event (CloudSSO_SAML Class)

Fired when a redirection is received from the server.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireRedirect($param);

Procedural Interface

cloudsso_saml_register_callback($res, 5, array($this, 'fireRedirect'));

Parameter List

 'location'
'accept'

Remarks

This event is fired in cases in which the client can decide whether or not to continue with the redirection process. The Accept parameter is always True by default, but if you do not want to follow the redirection, Accept may be set to False, in which case the class fails with an error. Location is the location to which the client is being redirected. Further control over redirection is provided in the FollowRedirects property.

SAMLResponse Event (CloudSSO_SAML Class)

Fired when a SAML response is validated.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireSAMLResponse($param);

Procedural Interface

cloudsso_saml_register_callback($res, 6, array($this, 'fireSAMLResponse'));

Parameter List

 'issuer'
'inresponseto'

Remarks

This event is fired before the SAML response is validated. This event allows certain settings to be configured before the validation checks happen to ensure the SAML response is validated correctly. See ValidateSAMLResponse for more information about the validation process.

The Issuer parameter is the ID attribute parsed from the current SAML response. When validating, the ID attribute needs to match the IdentityProviderMetadataEntityId property for validation to succeed. If there are multiple Identity Provider's supported, this parameter allows you to configure the component for the specified identity provider before continuing with validation.

The InResponseTo parameter is the InResponseTo attribute parsed from the current SAML response. When validating, the InResponseTo attribute needs to match the SAMLRequestId property for validation to succeed. If there are multiple outstanding requests, this parameter allows you to configure the component for the specified request before continuing with validation.

SSLServerAuthentication Event (CloudSSO_SAML Class)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireSSLServerAuthentication($param);

Procedural Interface

cloudsso_saml_register_callback($res, 7, array($this, 'fireSSLServerAuthentication'));

Parameter List

 'certencoded'
'certsubject'
'certissuer'
'status'
'accept'

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 (CloudSSO_SAML Class)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Object Oriented Interface

Config Settings (SAML Class)

The class 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 class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

SAML Config Settings

AssertionValidationFlags:   The checks that are ignored when validating an assertion.

This setting informs the class to skip certain checks when validating a parsed assertion. The following flags are defined (specified in hexadecimal notation). They can be or-ed together to exclude multiple conditions:

0x00000001Ignore the SubjectConfirmation element.
0x00000002Ignore the AuthnStatement element.
0x00000004Ignore the Issuer element.
0x00000008Ignore the assertion's signature (does not apply to the SAMLResponse element if that is signed).
0x00000010Ignores a mismatch between the certificates set in the class and the one found in the signature of the assertion.
0x00000020Ignores the Conditions element.
CustomConsent:   The URI reference of a custom consent type.

When the SAMLRequestConsent property is set to scidCustom - 99, this configuration setting can be used to set the custom URI reference to the consent type.

CustomNameIdFormat:   The URI reference of a custom NameID format type.

When the SAMLRequestNameIdFormat property is set to snidCustom - 99, this configuration setting can be used to set the custom URI reference to the NameID format type.

LogoutRequestValidationFlags:   The checks that are ignored when validating a logout request.

TBD This setting informs the class to skip certain checks when validating a parsed logout request. The following flags are defined (specified in hexadecimal notation). They can be or-ed together to exclude multiple conditions:

0x00000001Ignore the NotOnOrAfter attribute.
0x00000002Reserved for future use.
0x00000004Ignore the Issuer element.
0x00000008Ignore the logout request's signature.
0x00000010Ignores a mismatch between the certificates set in the class and the one found in the signature of the logout request.
SAMLResponseDetachedSignature:   The SAML response's detached signature.

This configuration setting can be set to a detached signature of a SAML response so that it can be validated. This value should be URL decoded before providing it to the class. To set the signing algorithm, see SAMLResponseDetachedSignatureAlg for more information.

Particularly, when the SAMLResponseResponseContent property is used to provide a SAMLResponse element directly to the class, this configuration setting can be used to provide a detached signature. Typically this would be seen if the HTTP-Redirect binding was used to transmit the SAML response.

SAMLResponseDetachedSignatureAlg:   The algorithm of a SAMLResponse's detached signature.

This configuration setting can be set to the signing algorithm used to created the detached signature of a SAML response. This value should be URL decoded before providing it to the class. To set the signature value, see SAMLResponseDetachedSignature for more information.

SAMLResponseValidationFlags:   The checks that are ignored when validating a SAMLResponse.

This setting informs the class to skip certain checks when validating a parsed SAMLResponse element. The following flags are defined (specified in hexadecimal notation). They can be or-ed together to exclude multiple conditions:

0x00000001Ignore the InResponseTo attribute.
0x00000002Ignore the destination attribute.
0x00000004Ignore the Issuer element.
0x00000008Ignore the SAMLResponse element's signature (does not apply to the Assertion element if signed).
0x00000010Ignores a mismatch between the certificates set in the class and the one found in the signature of the SAMLResponse element.
0x00000020Ignores a status that is not set to a success.
UseDetachedSignatures:   Whether detached signatures are used when building a SAML request.

This configuration setting only applies to request made with the HTTP-Redirect binding. By default, it is set to true. When set to true, the class will sign the SAMLRequest element using a detached signature. When set to false the class will instead include the signature within the request.

HTTP Config Settings

AcceptEncoding:   Used to tell the server which types of content encodings the client supports.

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

AllowHTTPCompression:   This property enables HTTP compression for receiving data.

This configuration setting enables HTTP compression for receiving data. When set to True (default), the class will accept compressed data. It then will uncompress the data it has received. The class will handle data compressed by both gzip and deflate compression algorithms.

When True, the class adds an Accept-Encoding header to the outgoing request. The value for this header can be controlled by the AcceptEncoding configuration setting. The default value for this header is "gzip, deflate".

The default value is True.

AllowHTTPFallback:   Whether HTTP/2 connections are permitted to fallback to HTTP/1.1.

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

If set to True (default), the class will automatically use HTTP/1.1 if the server does not support HTTP/2. If set to False, the class fails with an error if the server does not support HTTP/2.

The default value is True.

Append:   Whether to append data to LocalFile.

This configuration setting determines whether data will be 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 applicable only when LocalFile is set. The default value is False.

Authorization:   The Authorization string to be sent to the server.

If the Authorization property contains a nonempty 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 class can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the class.

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]".

BytesTransferred:   Contains the number of bytes transferred in the response data.

This configuration setting returns the raw number of bytes from the HTTP response data, before the component processes the data, whether it is chunked or compressed. This returns the same value as the Transfer event, by BytesTransferred.

ChunkSize:   Specifies the chunk size in bytes when using chunked encoding.

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

CompressHTTPRequest:   Set to true to compress the body of a PUT or POST request.

If set to True, the body of a PUT or POST request will be compressed into gzip format before sending the request. The "Content-Encoding" header is also added to the outgoing request.

The default value is False.

EncodeURL:   If set to True the URL will be encoded by the class.

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

FollowRedirects:   Determines what happens when the server issues a redirect.

This option determines what happens when the server issues a redirect. Normally, the class 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 class fails with an error.

Note: 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 potentially could change the conditions of the initial request and create security vulnerabilities.

Furthermore, if either the new URL server or port are different from 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 class fails with an error instead.

Following are the valid options:

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

GetOn302Redirect:   If set to True the class will perform a GET on the new location.

The default value is False. If set to True, the class will perform a GET on the new location. Otherwise, it will use the same HTTP method again.

HTTP2HeadersWithoutIndexing:   HTTP2 headers that should not update the dynamic header table with incremental indexing.

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 through incremental indexing (also known as HPACK, defined in RFC 7541). 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.

HTTPVersion:   The version of HTTP used by the class.

This property specifies the HTTP version used by the class. Possible values are as follows:

  • "1.0"
  • "1.1" (default)
  • "2.0"
  • "3.0"

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

HTTP/2 Notes

When using HTTP/2, a secure Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (TLS/SSL) connection is required. Attempting to use a plaintext URL with HTTP/2 will result in an error.

If the server does not support HTTP/2, the class will automatically use HTTP/1.1 instead. This is done 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/3 Notes

HTTP/3 is supported only in .NET and Java.

When using HTTP/3, a secure (TLS/SSL) connection is required. Attempting to use a plaintext URL with HTTP/3 will result in an error.

IfModifiedSince:   A date determining the maximum age of the desired document.

If this setting contains a nonempty 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. For example: Sat, 29 Oct 2017 19:43:31 GMT.

KeepAlive:   Determines whether the HTTP connection is closed after completion of the request.

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: Not all servers support persistent connections. If false, the connection will be closed immediately after the server response is received.

The default value for KeepAlive is false.

KerberosSPN:   The Service Principal Name for the Kerberos Domain Controller.

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.

LogLevel:   The level of detail that is logged.

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

0 (None) No events are logged.
1 (Info - default) Informational events are logged.
2 (Verbose) Detailed data are logged.
3 (Debug) Debug data are logged.

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

The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.

The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).

MaxRedirectAttempts:   Limits the number of redirects that are followed in a request.

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

NegotiatedHTTPVersion:   The negotiated HTTP version.

This configuration 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"), then the class will fall back to using "1.1" automatically. This setting will indicate which version was used.

OtherHeaders:   Other headers as determined by the user (optional).

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

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

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

This configuration setting is useful for extending the functionality of the class beyond what is provided.

ProxyAuthorization:   The authorization string to be sent to the proxy server.

This is similar to the Authorization configuration setting, but is used for proxy authorization. If this configuration setting contains a nonempty string, a Proxy-Authorization HTTP request header is added to the request. This header conveys proxy Authorization information to the server. If ProxyUser and ProxyPassword are specified, this value is calculated using the algorithm specified by ProxyAuthScheme.

ProxyAuthScheme:   The authorization scheme to be used for the proxy.

This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

ProxyPassword:   A password if authentication is to be used for the proxy.

This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

ProxyPort:   Port for the proxy server (default 80).

This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

ProxyServer:   Name or IP address of a proxy server (optional).

This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

ProxyUser:   A user name if authentication is to be used for the proxy.

This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Proxy properties.

SentHeaders:   The full set of headers as sent by the client.

This configuration setting returns the complete set of raw headers as sent by the client.

StatusCode:   The status code of the last response from the server.

This configuration setting contains the result code of the last response from the server.

StatusLine:   The first line of the last response from the server.

This setting contains the first line of the last response from the server. The format of the line will be [HTTP version] [Result Code] [Description].

TransferredData:   The contents of the last response from the server.

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

TransferredDataLimit:   The maximum number of incoming bytes to be stored by the class.

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 class.

TransferredHeaders:   The full set of headers as received from the server.

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

TransferredRequest:   The full request as sent by the client.

This configuration setting returns the full request as sent by the client. For performance reasons, the request is not normally saved. Set this configuration setting to ON before making a request to enable it. Following are examples of this request:

.NET Http http = new Http(); http.Config("TransferredRequest=on"); http.PostData = "body"; http.Post("http://someserver.com"); Console.WriteLine(http.Config("TransferredRequest")); C++ HTTP http; http.Config("TransferredRequest=on"); http.SetPostData("body", 5); http.Post("http://someserver.com"); printf("%s\r\n", http.Config("TransferredRequest"));

UseChunkedEncoding:   Enables or Disables HTTP chunked encoding for transfers.

If UseChunkedEncoding is set to True, the class 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 class 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.

UseIDNs:   Whether to encode hostnames to internationalized domain names.

This configuration setting specifies whether hostnames containing non-ASCII characters are encoded to internationalized domain names. When set to True, if a hostname contains non-ASCII characters, it is encoded using Punycode to an IDN (internationalized domain name).

The default value is False and the hostname will always be used exactly as specified. Note: The CodePage setting must be set to a value capable of interpreting the specified host name. For instance, to specify UTF-8, set CodePage to 65001. In the C++ Edition for Windows, the *W version of the class must be used. For instance, DNSW or HTTPW.

UsePlatformHTTPClient:   Whether or not to use the platform HTTP client.

When using this configuration setting, 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 in which direct access to sockets is limited or not allowed (e.g., in the Google AppEngine).

Note: This setting is applicable only to Mac/iOS editions.

UseProxyAutoConfigURL:   Whether to use a Proxy auto-config file when attempting a connection.

This configuration specifies whether the class will attempt to use the Proxy auto-config URL when establishing a connection and ProxyAutoDetect is set to True.

When True (default), the class will check for the existence of a Proxy auto-config URL, and if found, will determine the appropriate proxy to use.

UserAgent:   Information about the user agent (browser).

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.

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 class will use Timeout for establishing a connection and transmitting/receiving data.

FirewallAutoDetect:   Tells the class whether or not to automatically detect and use firewall system settings, if available.

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

FirewallHost:   Name or IP address of firewall (optional).

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 setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallPassword:   Password to be used if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall.

If FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword settings are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the class fails with an error.

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

FirewallPort:   The TCP port for the FirewallHost;.

The FirewallPort is set automatically when FirewallType is set to a valid value.

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

FirewallType:   Determines the type of firewall to connect through.

Possible values are as follows:

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

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

FirewallUser:   A user name if authentication is to be used connecting through a firewall.

If the FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword settings are used to connect and authenticate to the Firewall. If the authentication fails, the class fails with an error.

Note: This setting is provided for use by classs 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 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 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 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 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 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 class 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 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 class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface.

If the class 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 multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

LocalPort:   The port in the local host where the class binds.

This configuration setting must be set before a connection is attempted. It instructs the class 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 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 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.

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.nsoftware.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 and 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 class will use IPv4 exclusively. When set to 1, the class will use IPv6 exclusively. To instruct the class 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

SSL Config Settings

LogSSLPackets:   Controls whether SSL packets are logged when using the internal security API.

When SSLProvider 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 event, which will fire each time an SSL packet is sent or received.

Enabling this configuration setting has no effect if SSLProvider 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 class 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 class is the same.

SSLCACertFilePaths:   The paths to CA certificate files on Unix/Linux.

This configuration setting specifies the paths on disk to CA certificate files on Unix/Linux.

The value is formatted as a list of paths separated by semicolons. The class 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 or client certificates.

The default value is as follows:

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

SSLCACerts:   A newline separated list of CA certificates to be included when performing an SSL handshake.

When SSLProvider 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:

-----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 class will check the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) specified by the server certificate. If set to 1 or 2, the class will first obtain the list of CRL URLs from the server certificate's CRL distribution points extension. The class 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 class fails with an error.

When set to 0 (default), the CRL check will not be performed by the class. 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 class will use OCSP to check the validity of the server certificate. If set to 1 or 2, the class will first obtain the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) URL from the server certificate's OCSP extension. The class 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 class fails with an error.

When set to 0 (default), the class 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 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 is currently not supported. This functionality is instead made available through the 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 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:

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

-----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 class 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 SSLProvider is set to Platform include the following: obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=*"); obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=CALG_AES_256"); obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=CALG_AES_256;CALG_3DES"); Possible values when SSLProvider is set to Platform include the following:

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

  • TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
  • TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
  • TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

SSLEnabledCipherSuites is used together with 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:

TLS1.312288 (Hex 3000)
TLS1.23072 (Hex C00) (Default - Client and Server)
TLS1.1768 (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 class will use the internal TLS implementation when the SSLProvider is set to Automatic for all editions.

In editions that are designed to run on Windows, SSLProvider 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 and other similar SSL configuration settings are not supported.
  • If 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 class when the SSLProvider is set to internal. To use SSL 2.0 or SSL 3.0, the platform security API must have the protocols enabled and SSLProvider 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 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 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.

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 class 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 class will only append, it will not overwrite previous values.

Note: This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLProvider 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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:

0x00000001Ignore time validity status of certificate.
0x00000002Ignore time validity status of CTL.
0x00000004Ignore non-nested certificate times.
0x00000010Allow unknown certificate authority.
0x00000020Ignore wrong certificate usage.
0x00000100Ignore unknown certificate revocation status.
0x00000200Ignore unknown CTL signer revocation status.
0x00000400Ignore unknown certificate authority revocation status.
0x00000800Ignore unknown root revocation status.
0x00008000Allow test root certificate.
0x00004000Trust test root certificate.
0x80000000Ignore 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 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:

-----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 is set to Internal and SSLEnabledProtocols is set to allow TLS 1.2.

When specified the class 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 class fails with an error.

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

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)

Socket Config Settings

AbsoluteTimeout:   Determines whether timeouts are inactivity timeouts or absolute timeouts.

If AbsoluteTimeout is set to True, any method that 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 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 class 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 class 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 class 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.

This setting only works on these classes: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.

ProcessIdleEvents:   Whether the class uses its internal event loop to process events when the main thread is idle.

If set to False, the class will not fire internal idle events. Set this to False to use the class in a background thread on Mac OS. By default, this setting is True.

SelectWaitMillis:   The length of time in milliseconds the class will wait when DoEvents is called if there are no events to process.

If there are no events to process when DoEvents is called, the class will wait for the amount of time specified here before returning. The default value is 20.

UseInternalSecurityAPI:   Whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation.

When set to false, the class will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable.

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

On Windows, this setting is set to false by default. On Linux/macOS, this setting is set to true by default.

To use the system security libraries for Linux, OpenSSL support must be enabled. For more information on how to enable OpenSSL, please refer to the OpenSSL Notes section.
