The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Control is used to search, manage, and maintain internet directory servers.

Syntax

LDAP

Remarks

The LDAP Control supports both plaintext and Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) connections. When connecting over Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) the SSLServerAuthentication event allows you to check the server identity and other security attributes. The SSLStatus event provides information about the SSL handshake. Additional SSL-related settings are also supported through the Config method.

The LDAP Control implements a standard LDAP client as specified in RFC 1777, 2251, and other LDAP RFCs. Support for both LDAP v2 and v3 is provided.

The first step in using the control is specifying the ServerName, a DN (distinguished name) to bind as, and optionally a Password. Then you can call one or more of the control methods to act upon the server. Server responses normally are received through the Result event. The only exceptions are search requests that result in one or more SearchResult events, followed by a final SearchComplete event.

Attributes are set and returned through the Attributes properties. Other command arguments are specified through other properties. These are specified in detail in each method.

Search filters are to be specified as string arguments to the Search method. The format must be a standard LDAP search string as specified in RFC 1558. Other search attributes are set in properties, such as SearchScope, SearchTimeLimit, SearchSizeLimit, SearchReturnValues, and SearchDerefAliases.

The control operates synchronously by default (waits for a response before returning control to the caller); however, the control also may operate asynchronously (return control immediately), by setting Timeout to 0. Please refer to the Timeout property for more information.

21 (cstBCFKSFile)The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a BCFKS (Bouncy Castle FIPS Key Store).

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

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 control. 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.

sslAutomatic(0), 
sslImplicit(1), 
sslExplicit(2), 
sslNone(3)

Default Value

3

Remarks

The SSLStartMode property may have one of the following values:

0 (sslAutomatic)If the remote port is set to the standard plaintext port of the protocol (where applicable), the control will behave the same as if SSLStartMode is set to sslExplicit. In all other cases, SSL negotiation will be implicit (sslImplicit).
1 (sslImplicit)The SSL negotiation will start immediately after the connection is established.
2 (sslExplicit)The control will first connect in plaintext, and then will explicitly start SSL negotiation through a protocol command such as STARTTLS.
3 (sslNone - default)No SSL negotiation; no SSL security. All communication will be in plaintext mode.

Data Type

Integer

Timeout Property (LDAP Control)

This property includes the timeout for the control.

Syntax

ldapcontrol.Timeout[=integer]

Default Value

60

Remarks

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

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

The control will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not freeze and remains responsive.

If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the control fails with an error.

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

The default value for the Timeout property is 60 seconds.

Data Type

Integer

Abandon Method (LDAP Control)

This method asks the server to abandon a request.

Syntax

ldapcontrol.Abandon MessageId

This method asks the server to abandon the request specified by MessageId. The result of the operation is returned through the Result event.

Add Method (LDAP Control)

This method adds an entry specified by DN to the directory server using the type and value attributes defined in the Attributes properties.

Syntax

ldapcontrol.Add 

Remarks

This method adds the entry specified by DN to the directory. All entries are required to have an objectClass attribute.

To add a new entry, first Bind with credentials that will allow you to perform the new addition. To add attributes instead of entries, use the Modify method instead. When specifying multivalued attributes, specify the attribute type only in the first occurrence of that attribute type in the Attributes properties. Additional instances of the same attribute type should specify an attribute type of an empty string.

The result of the operation is returned through the Result event.

Example. Add a New Entry (including the multivalued objectClass attribute):

LDAPControl.DN = "uid=NewUser,ou=Employees,dc=server" LDAPControl.AttributeCount = 7 LDAPControl.AttributeType(0) = "objectClass" LDAPControl.AttributeValue(0) = "top" LDAPControl.AttributeType(1) = "" LDAPControl.AttributeValue(1) = "person" LDAPControl.AttributeType(2) = "" LDAPControl.AttributeValue(2) = "organizationalPerson" LDAPControl.AttributeType(3) = "" LDAPControl.AttributeValue(3) = "inetOrgPerson" LDAPControl.AttributeType(4) = "sn" LDAPControl.AttributeValue(4) = "UserName" LDAPControl.AttributeType(5) = "cn" LDAPControl.AttributeValue(5) = "New S. UserName" LDAPControl.AttributeType(6) = "uid" LDAPControl.AttributeValue(6) = "NewUser" LDAPControl.Add()

The User parameter is the name of the user for which the password will be changed. OldPassword specifies the current password and NewPassword specifies the new password.

Note: This operation can be performed only over the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) port. Set ServerPort to the SSL port of the server (typically 636) before calling this method.

Note: If the user is an administrator, the old password is not required.

Compare Method (LDAP Control)

This method compares attributes and values with those of the entry specified by DN .

Syntax

ldapcontrol.Compare 

Remarks

This method compares attribute types and values specified via the Attributes properties, with the values in the directory for the entry specified by DN. The result of the operation is returned through the Result event.

Config Method (LDAP Control)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

ldapcontrol.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.

Connect Method (LDAP Control)

This method connects to the directory server without performing any action.

Syntax

ldapcontrol.Connect 

Remarks

This method establishes a connection with the directory server specified by ServerName. In most cases, it is recommended to use the Bind method, which will both establish a connection and bind to the directory server.

This method may be useful in cases in which it is desirable to establish a connection without performing any operation (e.g., when testing connectivity).

Remarks

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

Search Method (LDAP Control)

This method searches the directory server using the base object specified in DN and the search filter SearchFilter .

Syntax

ldapcontrol.Search SearchFilter

Remarks

This method searches the directory server using the base object specified in the DN and the search filter specified in the SearchFilter parameter. Additional search parameters are specified through the SearchScope, SearchDerefAliases, SearchSizeLimit, SearchTimeLimit, and SearchReturnValues properties.

If Attributes are specified before starting a search, the server will return only those results that contain a value for the specified attributes.

Results are returned through zero or more SearchResult events, after which a SearchComplete event is fired.

Example 1. Searching for a User:

LDAPControl.DN = "ou=Employees,dc=server" LDAPControl.Search("uid=TThompson")

A Directory-Specific Entries (DSE) search will search for the attributes of the server. Example 2. DSE Search:

LDAPControl.DN = "" LDAPControl.SearchScope = 0 LDAPControl.Search("objectClass=*")

SearchFilter is a string representation of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) search filter used for the search.

The format of the search filter is specified by RFC 1558 and is identical to the format used by most LDAP applications.

The following are examples of search filters, as provided in the RFC:

Example 3. Search Filters:

     (cn=Babs Jensen)
     (!(cn=Tim Howes))
     (&(objectClass=Person)(|(sn=Jensen)(cn=Babs J*)))
     (o=univ*of*mich*)

The complete specification is given by the following BNF:

     <filter> ::= "(" <filtercomp> ")"
     <filtercomp> ::= <and> | <or> | <not> | <item>
     <and> ::= "&" <filterlist>
     <or> ::= "|" <filterlist>
     <not> ::= "!" <filter>
     <filterlist> ::= <filter> | <filter> <filterlist>
     <item> ::= <simple> | <present> | <substring>
     <simple> ::= <attr> <filtertype> <value>
     <filtertype> ::= <equal> | <approx> | <greater> | <less>
     <equal> ::= "="
     <approx> ::= "~="
     <greater> ::= ">="
     <less> ::= "<="
     <present> ::= <attr> "=*"
     <substring> ::= <attr> "=" <initial> <any> <final>
     <initial> ::= NULL | <value>
     <any> ::= "*" <starval>
     <starval> ::= NULL | <value> "*" <starval>
     <final> ::= NULL | <value>

<attr> is a string representing an attribute type as defined in RFC 1777. <value> is a string representing an attribute value, or part of one, and has the form defined in RFC 1779. If a <value> must contain one of the characters '*' or '(' or ')', these should be escaped by preceding them with the backslash '\' character.

This event provides detailed information about the interaction with the server.

Syntax

Sub ldapcontrol_PITrail(Direction As Integer, Description As String, Message As String)

Remarks

The PITrail event provides detailed information about all communication with the server. This is useful for debugging purposes.

Direction specifies the origin of the data. Possible values are as follows:

  • 0 - Client
  • 1 - Server

Description is a short description of the current packet. This is human readable and useful for informational logging.

Message contains a hex-encoded version of the raw message. This represents the exact value sent over the wire.

Result Event (LDAP Control)

This event is fired for every server response, except for search responses.

Syntax

Sub ldapcontrol_Result(MessageId As Integer, DN As String, ResultCode As Integer, ResultDescription As String)

Remarks

The MessageId parameter identifies the corresponding request. ResultCode and ResultDescription show whether or not the operation was successful (on a successful operation, the ResultCode is 0). For a full list of possible result codes, see the ResultCode property.

This event is fired for every page returned from a search operation.

Syntax

Sub ldapcontrol_SearchPage(MessageId As Integer, DN As String, ResultCode As Integer, ResultDescription As String, CancelSearch As Boolean)

Remarks

This event is fired so the client can decide whether or not to continue with the Search operation. The signature is very similar to the SearchComplete event, with the addition of a CancelSearch parameter. If the search should be canceled (no more pages), the CancelSearch parameter should be set to True.

SearchResult Event (LDAP Control)

This event is fired for every entry returned from a search operation.

Syntax

Sub ldapcontrol_SearchResult(MessageId As Integer, DN As String)

Remarks

MessageId identifies the corresponding search request. DN contains the distinguished name of the entry. The attribute type and value provided in the Attributes properties show the list of retrieved attributes for the entry.

Every search operation results in a sequence of 0 or more SearchResult events and a sequence of 0 or more SearchResultReference events, which are followed by a SearchComplete event.

SearchResultReference Event (LDAP Control)

This event is fired for every result reference returned from a search operation.

Syntax

Sub ldapcontrol_SearchResultReference(MessageId As Integer, LdapUrl As String)

Remarks

MessageId identifies the corresponding search request. LdapUrl contains a URL reference to a server that can be used for continuing the search operation.

Every search operation results in a sequence of 0 or more SearchResult events and a sequence of 0 or more SearchResultReference events, which are followed by a SearchComplete event.

SSLServerAuthentication Event (LDAP Control)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

Sub ldapcontrol_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 (LDAP Control)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

Sub ldapcontrol_SSLStatus(Message As String)

Remarks

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

Syntax

Sub ldapcontrol_UserList(name As String, description As String, lastLogon As String, memberOf As String, dn As String)

Remarks

This event is fired once for each user entry returned when the ListGroupMembers method is called.

Config Settings (LDAP 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.

LDAP Config Settings

DomainController:   Returns the name of the domain controller.

This configuration setting may be queried to return the name of the default domain controller in Active Directory domains.

Note: This functionality is available only in Windows.

Note: This functionality is not available in Java.

FriendlyGUID:   Whether to return GUID attribute values in a human readable format.

When inspecting object attributes, this configuration setting determines whether GUID attributes, such as "objectGUID" are returned as binary objects or converted into a human readable string, such as "708d9374-d64a-49b2-97ea-489ddc717703". When set to True, a friendly string value is returned. When set to False (default), a binary object is returned.

FriendlySID:   Whether to return SID attribute values in a human readable format.

When inspecting object attributes, this configuration setting determines whether SID attributes, such as "objectSid" are returned as binary objects or converted into a human readable string, such as "S-1-5-21-4272240814-246508344-1325542772-12464". When set to True, a friendly string value is returned. When set to False (default), a binary object is returned.

RequestControls:   Controls to include in the request.

This configuration setting may be used to specify LDAP controls in the request. The expected format is a space-separated sequence of OIDs and hex-encoded values. For instance, a single control with a value of 04 may be sent as follows: ldap.Config("RequestControls=1.2.826.0.1.3344810.2.3 04"); To send a control without a value, specify only the OID. For instance: ldap.Config("RequestControls=1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.5.1");

ResponseControls:   Controls present in the response.

This configuration setting holds the LDAP controls returned in the response (if any). The format is a space-separated sequence of OIDs and hex-encoded values. For instance: Log(ldap.Config("ResponseControls")); The output may look something like this: 1.2.826.0.1.3344810.2.3 04

SingleResultMode:   Determines how ResultDN behaves.

When set to True, ResultDN will return only the next result when queried. If no more results are found, querying ResultDN will return an empty string. This is useful in environments in which events cannot be used, such as ASP. For instance:

LDAP1.DN = Request("basedn") LDAP1.Config ("SingleResultMode=true") LDAP1.Search Request("query") Dim Result, i Response.Write "<hr><pre>" Do Result = LDAP1.ResultDN if (Result <> "") then Response.Write Result + "<br>" 'The attributes of each entry are in the AttrType and AttrValue property arrays For i = 0 To LDAP1.AttrCount - 1 Response.Write LDAP1.AttrType(i) + ": " + LDAP1.AttrValue(i) + "<br>" Next End If Loop While Result <> "" Response.Write "</pre>"

UseDefaultDC:   Whether to connect to the default Domain Controller when calling Bind.

If this configuration setting is set to True, ServerName does not need to be set before calling Bind in Active Directory domains. When True, the control will query the system for the default domain controller and attempt to establish a connection with that server.

Note: This functionality is available only in Windows.

Note: This functionality is not available in Java.

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

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

This configuration setting is provided for use by controls 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 controls 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 control fails with an error.

Note: This setting is provided for use by controls 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 controls 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 controls 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 control fails with an error.

Note: This setting is provided for use by controls 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 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.

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 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).

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

This configuration setting must be set before a connection is attempted. It instructs the control 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 control will use IPv4 exclusively. When set to 1, the control will use IPv6 exclusively. To instruct the control 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

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 control 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 control 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
