Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The SMS control provides an easy way to manage short message service (SMS) messages from a variety of service providers.
Syntax
SMS
Remarks
This control provides a single interface that can be used to work with a variety of services. By supporting multiple providers with a single API code may be written once and used to support multiple services. The following providers are currently supported by this control:
- Twilio
- Sinch
- SMSGlobal
- SMS.to
- Vonage
- Clickatell
The control supports sending, scheduling, deleting, updating, listing, fetching, and more. Note that not all services support all operations. See the Service Provider Specific Notes page for more information.
Selecting a Provider
To specify a service provider simply set the ServiceProvider property. To begin, first create an account and register with the desired service provider(s).
Authentication
Once the account is created, the service provider will provide some form of credentials. Assign the provider account credentials to the corresponding AccountKey and AccountSecret properties. As a note, in some cases, the service provider does not provide or require an account secret.
Sending a Message
The Send method is used to send SMS messages without any delay.
The message details are specified by the MessageFrom, MessageRecipients, and MessageBody properties.
sms.MessageFrom = "+11234567890";
sms.MessageRecipients = "+10987654321";
sms.MessageBody = "This is an SMS message.";
string messageId = sms.Send();
Scheduling a Message
Some service providers allow for messages to be scheduled to send at a particular time. The ScheduleMessage method can be used to delay SMS messages from being sent until the specified time.
The message details are specified by the MessageFrom, MessageRecipients, and MessageBody properties. The scheduled time to send is specified by the MessageDate property.
sms.MessageFrom = "+11234567890";
sms.MessageRecipients = "+10987654321";
sms.MessageBody = "This is an SMS message.";
sms.MessageDate = "2023-04-10T20:02:39Z";
string messageId = sms.ScheduleMessage();
Deleting a Message
Some service providers also support "deleting" messages from the account. The DeleteSentMessage and DeleteReceivedMessage methods delete an SMS message that was sent or received, respectively. The particular manner in which the message is deleted depends on the service provider. See the service provider documentation for more details.
In order to delete a message, the corresponding message ID must be provided to the method.
sms.MessageFrom = "+11234567890";
sms.MessageRecipients = "+10987654321";
sms.MessageBody = "This is an SMS message.";
string id = sms.Send();
// Wait for the message to send before deleting.
sms.DeleteSentMessage(id);
Updating a Message
Certain service providers support updating sent messages. The specifics of what values can be updated and when the message is still available to be updated depends on the service provider. The UpdateSentMessage method will update a sent SMS message with the values found in its corresponding Messages properties entry.
sms.MessageFrom = "+11234567890";
sms.MessageRecipients = "+10987654321";
sms.MessageBody = "This is an SMS message.";
string id = sms.Send();
// Wait for the message to send before updating with cleared body text.
sms.Messages[0].Body = "";
sms.UpdateSentMessage(id);
Listing Messages
If supported by the service provider, the ListSentMessages and ListReceivedMessages methods list sent and received SMS messages, respectively, present on the authenticated account.
In order to refine which messages are listed, service-specific filters may be supplied. See the service documentation for more information about the parameters that can be added as the filter.
string startTime = DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ");
sms.MessageFrom = "+11234567890";
sms.MessageRecipients = "+10987654321";
sms.MessageBody = "This is an SMS message.";
sms.Send();
// Wait for the message to send before listing only the above message by supplying multiple filters.
sms.ListSentMessages("To=" + sms.MessageRecipients + "&DateSent>=" + startTime);
foreach (SMSMessage message in sms.Messages) {
if (message.From.Equals("+11234567890")) {
// . . .
}
}
Fetching a Message
In certain cases, it is useful to fetch a specific message. If supported, the RetrieveSentMessage and RetrieveReceivedMessage methods can be used to fetch a specific SMS message that was sent or received, respectively, in the authenticated account.
In order to fetch a message, the corresponding message ID must be supplied.
sms.MessageFrom = "+11234567890";
sms.MessageRecipients = "+10987654321";
sms.MessageBody = "This is an SMS message.";
string id = sms.Send();
// Wait for the message to send before fetching.
sms.FetchSentMessage(id);
if (sms.Messages[0].MessageStatus.Equals("Delivered")) {
// . . .

This method is used to add a query parameter to the QueryParams properties. Name specifies the name of the parameter, and Value specifies the value of the parameter.
All specified Values will be URL encoded by the control automatically. Consult the service documentation for details on the available parameters.
For example, this method can be used to limit how many messages are returned when listing:
// The PageSize parameter shown here is a Twilio parameter.
sms.AddQueryParam("PageSize", "20");
sms.ListSentMessages("");
// The service now returns 20 messages rather than the default.
Config Method (SMS Control)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
smscontrol.Config ConfigurationString
Remarks
Config is a generic method available in every control. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the control.
These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the control, 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.
DeleteReceivedMessage Method (SMS Control)
Deletes a received message from the account.
Syntax
smscontrol.DeleteReceivedMessage MessageId
Remarks
Note: This method is not supported by spSinch and spClickatell.
This method is used to remove a received message from the account. MessageId identifies the particular message to delete.
Service Provider Specific Notes

DoEvents Method (SMS Control)
This method processes events from the internal message queue.
Syntax
smscontrol.DoEvents
Remarks
When DoEvents is called, the control processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.
HandleWebhook Method (SMS Control)
Parses requests made to a web-hook.
Syntax
smscontrol.HandleWebhook HeaderString, QueryString, PostData
Remarks
This method takes the HeaderString, QueryString, and PostData to parse the callback request that was made to a web server. Service providers typically support two types of callback endpoints.
The first callback endpoint, delivery reports, give status updates on sent messages. When the method handles these requests, the control will fire the DeliveryReport event.
The second callback endpoint, incoming messages, will fire a request to the web-hook when a new incoming message arrives. When the method handles these requests, the control will fire the IncomingMessage event.
It is important to note that the control will not handle creating the web server to host the web-hook that is specified. The method is intended to be used as a helper method for interpreting the request made to the web-hook.
Interrupt Method (SMS Control)
This method interrupts the current method.
Syntax
smscontrol.Interrupt
Remarks
If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.
ListReceivedMessages Method (SMS Control)
Lists received messages from the account.
Syntax
smscontrol.ListReceivedMessages Filter
Remarks
Note: This method is not supported by spVonage and spClickatell.
This method is used to list messages received by the account, populating the Messages properties and firing the MessageList event. Filter allows for further control when listing.
For example, this method can be used to list only messages received during a specific timeframe:
// The DateSent filter shown here is an available Twilio filter.
sms.ListReceivedMessages("DateSent>=2023-04-14T16:48:39Z&DateSent<=2023-04-14T16:58:39Z");
// The service now returns only messages that were received within the 10 minute window.

UpdateSentMessage Method (SMS Control)
Updates a scheduled or sent message.
Syntax
smscontrol.UpdateSentMessage MessageId
Remarks
Note: Only spTwilio and spSinch support updating sent or schedule messages.
This method takes the MessageId of the message that is being updated. To update a message, a message must be present in the Messages properties with a matching . There are a number of ways to populate messages into the properties. The Send and ScheduleMessage methods will populate the Messages properties using the response from the service provider. The RetrieveSentMessage and ListSentMessages methods can be used to populate already sent messages from the service provider directly. Another option is to create a new entry in the Messages properties and set the property to the specific MessageId. Once the message is populated in the Messages properties, you can change the properties depending on the value of the ServiceProvider.
sms.MessageFrom = "+11234567890";
sms.MessageRecipients = "+10987654321";
sms.MessageBody = "This is an SMS message.";

Syntax
Sub smscontrol_DeliveryReport(MessageId As String, Status As String)
Remarks
This event fires once for each delivery report parsed by the HandleWebhook method. The MessageId corresponds to the message ID of the message that was sent. Typically, the MessageId will correlate to the MessageId that is provided from the ScheduleMessage and Send methods. The Status parameter is the parsed status from the delivery report.
Service Provider Specific Notes
SMS Global
- Uses a different ID for the message when it is scheduled versus when it is sent.
- The scheduled ID can be used with the RetrieveSentMessage method to get the real ID once the message is sent.
Error Event (SMS Control)
Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.
Syntax
Sub smscontrol_Error(ErrorCode As Integer, Description As String)
Remarks
The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the control fails with an error.
The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.
IncomingMessage Event (SMS Control)
Fired once for each incoming message.
Syntax
Sub smscontrol_IncomingMessage(MessageId As String, SentTo As String, From As String, Body As String)
Remarks
This event fires once for each incoming message parsed by the HandleWebhook method. The MessageId corresponds to the message ID of the message that was received. If supported, the MessageId can be used with the DeleteReceivedMessage, RetrieveReceivedMessage, and ListReceivedMessages methods. See the specific method documentation for more information.
The SentTo parameter is the ID (typically a number) that the message was sent to. The From parameter is the sender ID (typically a number) that the message was sent from. The Body parameter is the text content of the message that was sent.
Log Event (SMS Control)
Fired once for each log message.
Syntax
Sub smscontrol_Log(LogLevel As Integer, Message As String, LogType As String)
Remarks
This event is fired once for each log message generated by the control. The verbosity is controlled by the LogLevel setting.
LogLevel indicates the level of message. Possible values are as follows:
0 (None) | No events are logged. |
1 (Info - default) | Informational events are logged. |

SSLServerAuthentication Event (SMS Control)
Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.
Syntax
Sub smscontrol_SSLServerAuthentication(CertEncoded As String, CertSubject As String, CertIssuer As String, Status As String, Accept As Boolean)
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 (SMS Control)
Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.
Syntax
Sub smscontrol_SSLStatus(Message As String)
Remarks
The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.
Config Settings (SMS Control)
The control 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 control, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.SMS Config Settings
yyyy | year |
MM | month |
dd | day |
HH | hours (24 hours) |
hh | hours (12 hours) |
mm | minutes |
ss | seconds |
fff | milliseconds |
These format specifiers can be written in any combination. For example:
SMS.Config("DateFormat=yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss");
SMS.Config("DateFormat=dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss");
If this setting is not specified, the default date/time format will be yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ. This is from ISO 8601.
Service Provider | Default |
Twilio | 50 |
Sinch | 30 |
SMSGlobal | 20 |
SMS.to | 15 |
Vonage | N/A |
Clickatell | N/A |
Note: In some cases, when the mode is set to 0 (SMS) the SMS.to console may still display the messages as a campaign.
This setting should not be set when authenticating via the AccountSID + AuthToken approach or when using a "main" API Key.
When this setting is set to 0 (default) Auth Tokens will be used. To user Auth tokens, supply the Account SID and Auth token to the control's AccountKey and AccountSecret properties, respectively.
Alternatively, when set to 1, the control will authenticate with API Keys. To use API Keys, supply the API Key and API Key Secret to the control's AccountKey and AccountSecret properties, respectively. Then, supply the AccountSID value corresponding to the account to the TwilioAccountSid configuration setting.
Service Provider | Delivery Report | Replies |
Twilio | Yes | No |
Sinch | Yes | Yes |
SMSGlobal | Yes | No |
SMS.to | Yes | No |
Vonage | N/A | N/A |
Clickatell | N/A | N/A |
Service Provider Specific Notes
Sinch: If WebhookURL is set, delivery_report parameter will be "summary".
Vonage: This is not supported by Vonage.
ClickATell: This is not supported by Clickatell.
HTTP Config Settings
When True, the control 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.
If set to True (default), the control will automatically use HTTP/1.1 if the server does not support HTTP/2. If set to False, the control fails with an error if the server does not support HTTP/2.
The default value is True.
This property is provided so that the HTTP control can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the control.
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]".
The default value is False.
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 control 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 control fails with an error instead.
Following are the valid options:
- 0 - Never
- 1 - Always
- 2 - Same Scheme
- "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 control 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.
The format of the date value for IfModifiedSince is detailed in the HTTP specs. For example:
Sat, 29 Oct 2017 19:43:31 GMT.
The default value for KeepAlive is .
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).
The headers must follow the format "header: value" as described in the HTTP specifications. Header lines should be separated by CRLF (Chr$(13) & Chr$(10)) .
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 control beyond what is provided.
.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"));
Note: Some servers (such as the ASP.NET Development Server) may not support chunked encoding.
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.
When True (default), the control will check for the existence of a Proxy auto-config URL, and if found, will determine the appropriate proxy to use.

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

SSL Config Settings
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.
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.
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.
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".
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.
If set to True, the control 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 control is the same.

When set to 0 (default), the CRL check will not be performed by the control. 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.
When set to 0 (default), the control 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.
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.
The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:

By default, the enabled cipher suites will include all available ciphers ("*").
The special value "*" means that the control 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.

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.
Not all supported protocols are enabled by default. The default value is 4032 for client components, and 3072 for server components. To specify a combination of enabled protocol versions set this config to the binary OR of one or more of the following values:
TLS1.3 | 12288 (Hex 3000) |
TLS1.2 | 3072 (Hex C00) (Default - Client and Server) |
TLS1.1 | 768 (Hex 300) (Default - Client) |
TLS1 | 192 (Hex C0) (Default - Client) |
SSL3 | 48 (Hex 30) |
SSL2 | 12 (Hex 0C) |
Note that only TLS 1.2 is enabled for server components that accept incoming connections. This adheres to industry standards to ensure a secure connection. Client components enable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2 by default and will negotiate the highest mutually supported version when connecting to a server, which should be TLS 1.2 in most cases.
SSLEnabledProtocols: Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 Notes:
By default when TLS 1.3 is enabled, the control 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 control 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.
This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLProvider is set to Internal.
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.
When set, the control 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 control will only append, it will not overwrite previous values.
Note: This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLProvider is set to Internal.

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 ...

When specified the control 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 control 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.
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)
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:
