PIMAP Control
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The PIMAP control is used to communicate with IMAP servers to retrieve and process OpenPGP encrypted and/or signed messages and any attachments.
Syntax
PIMAP
Remarks
The PIMAP control offers an easy-to-use interface: it implements a standard IMAP client, as specified in RFC 1730 and RFC 2060, and supports decrypting and verifying signatures of encrypted and signed emails using OpenPGP. Additionally, it enables you to create messages bound for multiple recipients with different keys, simultaneously encrypt and compress with the most popular compression algorithms, and control other aspects such as the encrypting algorithm to use.
Connect to a Mail Server
The first step in using the control is specifying a MailServer, a User to connect as, and a Password to authenticate with. After that, one or more requests may be sent to the server via the control's methods. Results are retrieved through events and a number of key properties.
Examine a Mailbox
Normally, after connecting to the server a Mailbox is selected (or examined) using the ExamineMailbox method. After the Mailbox is selected, MessageCount and RecentMessageCount show the number of messages in the mailbox, and MailboxFlags shows the flags pertaining to the mailbox.
A number of operations may be performed by the server in response to commands sent via the control's methods. The primary arguments for most commands are the Mailbox property and the MessageSet property. The MessageSet property denotes either a single message or a range of messages. Other arguments are specified through other properties such as SortCriteria, MessageFlags, etc.
Responses are received through events such as MessageInfo and MailboxList, and are also reflected in properties such as MessageText, MessageSubject, etc.
Decrypt
To process an encrypted or signed message, first retrieve the message text and headers by calling RetrieveMessageHeaders and RetrieveMessageText.
To decrypt a message specify the private key to be used for decryption by setting the Key* properties. For instance:
PIMAP1.KeyCount = 1
PIMAP1.KeyKeyring(0) = "c:\my_keyring_dir"
PIMAP1.KeyUserId(0) = "recipient@nsoftware.com"
PIMAP1.KeyPassphrase(0) = "password"
The specified private key will be used to decrypt the message when calling Decrypt.
Verify
To verify the signature of a message specify the public key to be used for signature verification by
setting the SignerKey* properties. For instance:
PIMAP1.SignerKeyCount = 1
PIMAP1.SignerKeyKeyring(0) = "c:\my_keyring_dir"
PIMAP1.SignerKeyUserId(0) = "sender@nsoftware.com"
The specified public key will be used to verify the signature when calling VerifySignature. To
decrypt and verify in one step call DecryptAndVerifySignature.
Retrieve MIME Message Parts
The MessagePart event describes the MIME structure of retrieved messages. One MessagePart event is fired for every message part, giving information about the particular part. Later on, message parts may be retrieved separately through the RetrieveMessagePart method. This speeds up processing by avoiding the need to retrieve full messages from the server.
Trace Client and Server Communication
The PITrail event traces the interaction between the client and the server. It includes all exchanges except for transfers of messages, message parts, and message headers.

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
StartByte Property (PIMAP Control)
This property includes the byte index of the position where the transfer should start.
Syntax
pimapcontrol.StartByte[=long64]

When StartByte or EndByte contain values other than the default (0), only the corresponding portion of the message is retrieved from the server.
Byte indexes start from 1. The default value for EndByte is 0, which corresponds to the end of the message.
This property is not available at design time.
Data Type
Long64
Timeout Property (PIMAP Control)
The timeout for the control.
Syntax
pimapcontrol.Timeout[=integer]
Default Value
60
Remarks
If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations will run uninterrupted until successful completion or an error condition is encountered.
If Timeout is set to a positive value, the control will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.
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
UIDMode Property (PIMAP Control)
If True, this property indicates whether permanent message identifiers are used instead of the default temporary identifiers.
Syntax
pimapcontrol.UIDMode[=boolean]
Default Value
False
Remarks

The following IMAP protocol operations use the UID mode: COPY, FETCH, STORE, and SEARCH.
This property is not available at design time.
Data Type
Boolean
UIDValidity Property (PIMAP Control)
This property includes the UIDValidity parameter sent from the server in response to SelectMailbox command.
Syntax
pimapcontrol.UIDValidity
Default Value
""
Remarks

Config Method (PIMAP Control)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
pimapcontrol.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.

DecryptAndVerifySignature Method (PIMAP Control)
Decrypts and verifies the signature of the message.
Syntax
pimapcontrol.DecryptAndVerifySignature
Remarks
This method attempts to both decrypt and verify the signature of the message. All of the properties affected by calling the Decrypt and VerifySignature methods are affected in the same manner.
This method may be used when the data is signed, encrypted, or signed and encrypted. For instance, if the data is encrypted but not signed you may still use this method and the control will perform the decryption without error.
The message will be decrypted using the keys specified in Keys. Before decryption begins the control will fire the RecipientInfo event with information about the encrypted message, including the key used to encrypt the message. Within this event you may use the available information to load the correct key into Keys.
The message will be verified using the keys specified in SignerKeys. Before verification begins the control will fire the SignatureInfo event with information about the signature including the key used to sign the message. Within this event you may use the information available to load the correct key into SignerKeys.
By default, if the signature is not valid the control fails with an error. The configuration setting RequireValidSignature may be set to False to disable this requirement. When RequireValidSignature is set to False, the Status parameter of the VerificationStatus event should be checked to determine the result of the operation.
NOTE: This method does not attempt to check the validity of the signing key itself.

pimapcontrol.UnsubscribeMailbox
Remarks
This method unsubscribes from the mailbox specified by the Mailbox property.
VerifySignature Method (PIMAP Control)
Verifies the signature of the current message.
Syntax
pimapcontrol.VerifySignature
Remarks
This method verifies the signature of the message.
The message will be verified using the keys specified in SignerKeys. Before verification begins the control will fire the SignatureInfo event with information about the signature including the key used to sign the message. Within this event you may use the information available to load the correct key into SignerKeys.
By default, if the signature is not valid the control fails with an error. The configuration setting RequireValidSignature may be set to False to disable this requirement. When RequireValidSignature is set to False, the Status parameter of the VerificationStatus event should be checked to determine the result of the operation.
ConnectionStatus Event (PIMAP Control)
Fired to indicate changes in the connection state.
Syntax
Sub pimapcontrol_ConnectionStatus(ConnectionEvent As String, StatusCode As Integer, Description As String)
Remarks
This event is fired when the connection state changes: for example, completion of a firewall or proxy connection or completion of a security handshake.
The ConnectionEvent parameter indicates the type of connection event. Values may include the following:
Firewall connection complete. | |
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or S/Shell handshake complete (where applicable). | |
Remote host connection complete. | |
Remote host disconnected. | |
SSL or S/Shell connection broken. | |
Firewall host disconnected. |
EndTransfer Event (PIMAP Control)
This event is fired when the message or the part data finishes transferring.
Syntax
Sub pimapcontrol_EndTransfer(Direction As Integer)
Remarks
The EndTransfer event is fired when the requested message body or part completes transferring from the server to the local host.
The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.
Error Event (PIMAP Control)
Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.
Syntax
Sub pimapcontrol_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.
Header Event (PIMAP Control)
This event is fired every time a header line comes in.
Syntax
Sub pimapcontrol_Header(Field As String, Value As String)
Remarks
The Field parameter contains the name of the HTTP header (in the same case as it is delivered). The Value parameter contains the header contents.
If the header line being retrieved is a continuation header line, then the Field parameter contains "" (empty string).
IdleInfo Event (PIMAP Control)
This event fires whenever responses from the server are received while idling.
Syntax
Sub pimapcontrol_IdleInfo(Message As String, Cancel As Boolean)
Remarks
This event fires each time a response is received from the server after calling StartIdle. This will fire with information from the server intended to update the client. The type of data sent by the server may vary.
Message holds the response received from the server.
Cancel may be set to stop idling from within the event. This is equivalent to calling StopIdle.
The following are possible values returned by the server:
+ idling * 43 EXISTS * 1 RECENT
KeyPassphrase Event (PIMAP Control)
Fired if the passphrase of current key is incorrect or empty.
Syntax
Sub pimapcontrol_KeyPassphrase(UserId As String, KeyId As String, Fingerprint As String, Passphrase As String)
Remarks
This event fires when the passphrase for the key is required. The passphrase must be specified before operations requiring the secret key are attempted. The passphrase may be supplied by setting the Passphrase parameter in this event, or by specifying the KeyPassphrase property before attempting the operation.
The passphrase is required when using the following methods in KeyMgr:
- AddUserId
- SignUserId
- ChangeExpirationDate
- ChangePassphrase
When using the OpenPGP control, or an email-based control, the following methods require a passphrase for the key:
- Decrypt
- Sign
- SignAndEncrypt
UserId holds the user Id of the key the passphrase is required for.
The UserId format is:
FirstName LastName (Comment) <Email>Not all values are required when selecting or generating a key, but at least FirstName or Email are required.
Note that for OpenPGP v6, a key may be created with or without a UserId, as the field is optional. If a key was created without a UserId, the key's Fingerprint can be used as it's identifier instead.
KeyId is the hex-encoded, 4-byte or 8-byte Id of the key the passphrase is required for. For OpenPGP v4 keys and earlier, the key Id corresponds to the last 4 or 8 bytes of the key's Fingerprint. For OpenPGP v6 keys, the key Id corresponds to the first 8 bytes of the key's Fingerprint instead. For instance:
5E70662EA810E768
Fingerprint holds the hex-encoded, 20-byte fingerprint of the key the passphrase is required for. This is in the form:
5E70662EA810E768391A2FE8F7B7D49C89C9D7B1
MailboxACL Event (PIMAP Control)
This event fires for each set of access control rights returned by the server.
Syntax
Sub pimapcontrol_MailboxACL(Mailbox As String, User As String, Rights As String)

The Size parameter gives the size of this part.
The ContentType parameter shows the type of data contained in the part.
The ContentEncoding parameter shows how data are encoded.
The FileName parameter shows the filename corresponding to the part (if the part was included in the message as an attached file).
The Parameters parameter contains the additional parameters passed to the ContentType header, such as the part charset.
The MultipartMode parameter shows the how this part relates to the message's whole multipart structure (e.g., 'mixed', 'alternative', etc.).
The ContentId parameter shows the value of the Content-Id header for the part.
The ContentDisposition parameter shows the value of the Content-Disposition header for the part.
PITrail Event (PIMAP Control)
This event traces the commands sent to the mail server, and the respective replies.
Syntax
Sub pimapcontrol_PITrail(Direction As Integer, Message As String)
Remarks
The PITrail event is useful for debugging and learning purposes. It shows all of the interactions between the client and the server, line by line, except for message header and body transfers.
The Message parameter contains the full text of the message. The Direction parameter shows the originator of the message:
0 (Client) | The Message originates from the client. |
1 (Server) | The Message originates from the server. |
2 (Information) | The Message is an informative message originating from the client software (the control code). |
Progress Event (PIMAP Control)
Fired as progress is made.
Syntax
Sub pimapcontrol_Progress(BytesProcessed As Long64, PercentProcessed As Integer)
Remarks
This event is fired automatically as data is processed by the control.
The PercentProcessed parameter indicates the current status of the operation.
The BytesProcessed parameter holds the total number of bytes processed so far.
RecipientInfo Event (PIMAP Control)
Fired for each recipient key of the encrypted message.
Syntax
Sub pimapcontrol_RecipientInfo(KeyId As String, Fingerprint As String, PublicKeyAlgorithm As String)
Remarks
This event fires when the Decrypt or DecryptAndVerifySignature method is called.
KeyId is the hex-encoded 4- or 8-byte Id of the key used to encrypt the message. If a subkey was used to encrypt the message this will be the Id of that subkey. For OpenPGP v4 keys and earlier, the key Id corresponds to the last 4 or 8 bytes of the key's Fingerprint. For OpenPGP v6 keys, the key Id corresponds to the first 8 bytes of the key's Fingerprint instead. For instance:
5E70662EA810E768
Fingerprint holds the hex-encoded, 20-byte fingerprint of the key. This is in the form:
5E70662EA810E768391A2FE8F7B7D49C89C9D7B1
The KeyId and Fingerprint parameters can be used to identify the correct key to specify in the Key* properties. The Key* properties can be set from within this event as this event fires directly before the decryption process begins.
It is recommended to use the Fingerprint to identify the correct key, as it is possible for different keys to have the same KeyId.
PublicKeyAlgorithm is the algorithm of the public key used to encrypt the message. Possible values are:
- RSA
- DSA
- ECDSA
- EdDSA
- Ed25519
- Ed448
- RSA-Legacy
- ECDH (Subkeys only)
- X25519 (Subkeys only)
- X448 (Subkeys only)
SignatureInfo Event (PIMAP Control)
Fired during verification of the signed message.
Syntax
Sub pimapcontrol_SignatureInfo(KeyId As String, Fingerprint As String, SigningAlgorithm As String, PublicKeyAlgorithm As String)
Remarks
This event fires when the VerifySignature or DecryptAndVerifySignature method is called. It provides information about the signature of the message.
KeyId is the hex-encoded 4- or 8-byte Id of the key used to sign the message. If a subkey was used to sign the message this will be the Id of that subkey. For OpenPGP v4 keys and earlier, the key Id corresponds to the last 4 or 8 bytes of the key's Fingerprint. For OpenPGP v6 keys, the key Id corresponds to the first 8 bytes of the key's Fingerprint instead. For instance:
5E70662EA810E768
Fingerprint holds the hex-encoded, 20-byte fingerprint of the key. This is in the form:
5E70662EA810E768391A2FE8F7B7D49C89C9D7B1
The KeyId and Fingerprint parameters can be used to identify the correct key to specify in the SignerKey* properties. The SignerKey* properties can be set from within this event as this event fires directly before the verification process begins.
It is recommended to use the Fingerprint to identify the correct key, as it is possible for different keys to have the same KeyId.
SigningAlgorithm describes the hash algorithm used when the message was originally signed. This value is applicable only to the message signature, not the key used to sign the message. Possible values are:
- SHA1
- MD5
- SHA256
- SHA384
- SHA512
- SHA224
- RIPEMD160
- SHA3-256
- SHA3-512
PublicKeyAlgorithm is the algorithm of the public key used to sign the message. Possible values are:
- RSA
- DSA
- ECDSA
- EdDSA
- Ed25519
- Ed448
- RSA-Legacy
- ECDH (Subkeys only)
- X25519 (Subkeys only)
- X448 (Subkeys only)
SSLServerAuthentication Event (PIMAP Control)
Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.
Syntax
Sub pimapcontrol_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 (PIMAP Control)
Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.
Syntax
Sub pimapcontrol_SSLStatus(Message As String)
Remarks
The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.
StartTransfer Event (PIMAP Control)
This event is fired when the message body or the part data start transferring.
Syntax
Sub pimapcontrol_StartTransfer(Direction As Integer)
Remarks
The StartTransfer event is fired when the message body or the part data start transferring from the server to the local host. Further progress information is provided by the Transfer and EndTransfer events.
The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.
Status Event (PIMAP Control)
Shows the progress of the operation.
Syntax
Sub pimapcontrol_Status(Message As String)
Remarks
The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. It may be used to track the progress of an operation.
The level of detail is controlled by the LogLevel setting.
Transfer Event (PIMAP Control)
This event is fired while the message is transferred from the MailServer .
Syntax
Sub pimapcontrol_Transfer(Direction As Integer, BytesTransferred As Long64, PercentDone As Integer, Text As String)
Remarks
The Transfer event is fired for every incoming line when receiving a message or part data from the MailServer
The Text parameter contains the portion of the message or the part data being retrieved.
The BytesTransferred parameter contains the number of bytes transferred since the beginning of the message, including header bytes. At the end of transmission (i.e., when the last Transfer event is fired), BytesTransferred equals the value of the MessageSize property.
The Transfer event is fired for every line of the message. There is no terminating newline at the end of the Text parameter. A faster way to retrieve a message is to assign a value to the LocalFile property and use the Transfer event to check the progress only rather than to get the actual data.
The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.
The PercentDone parameter shows the progress of the transfer in the corresponding direction. If PercentDone can not be calculated the value will be -1.
Note: Events are not re-entrant. Performing time-consuming operations within this event will prevent it from firing again in a timely manner and may affect overall performance.
VerificationStatus Event (PIMAP Control)
Fired after verification of the signed message.
Syntax
Sub pimapcontrol_VerificationStatus(KeyId As String, Fingerprint As String, Status As Integer)
Remarks
This event fires when VerifySignature or DecryptAndVerifySignature is called. It provides information about the result.
KeyId is the hex-encoded 4- or 8-byte Id of the key used to sign the message. For OpenPGP v4 keys and earlier, the key Id corresponds to the last 4 or 8 bytes of the key's Fingerprint. For OpenPGP v6 keys, the key Id corresponds to the first 8 bytes of the key's Fingerprint instead. For instance:
5E70662EA810E768
Fingerprint holds the hex-encoded, 20-byte fingerprint of the key. This is in the form:
5E70662EA810E768391A2FE8F7B7D49C89C9D7B1
Status holds the result of the operation. Possible values are:
0 | Verification succeeded |
1 | Verification failed |
2 | The required key could not be found |
3 | Verification succeeded but the key is expired. |
Config Settings (PIMAP 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.PIMAP Config Settings
0 (None) | No events are logged. |
1 (Info - default) | Informational events are logged. |
2 (Verbose) | Detailed data is logged. |
3 (Debug) | Debug data is logged. |
This config is True by default, and must be true when verifying an OpenPGP v6 cleartext signature. When enabled, the cleartext portion will be cached in memory until the signature is fully processed.
Note: If the signature is known to be an OpenPGP v4 cleartext signature beforehand (i.e., signed with a v4 key), this config may be set to False. However, if this config is disabled, the control will be unable to verify OpenPGP v6 cleartext signatures. In this case, the control will throw an exception when calling VerifySignature or DecryptAndVerifySignature.
This setting will be populated after calling Decrypt, VerifySignature, or DecryptAndVerifySignature.
SIMAP Config Settings
IMAP Config Settings
The default value for this setting is False.
The date-time should be formatted according to the IMAP RFC specifications. For example, "22-Jan-2013 12:34:56 -0500" indicates January 22nd, 2013, at 12:34:56 PM EST.
By default, if this setting is not specified, no date-time is sent with the APPEND request, and the server will use the current time.
Bearer ya29.AHES6ZRmS-8xPbpGetC1VbABJIBRdKm-c4X7wMVGAbgxdGt5q8Ts3Q
Note: When using amXOAUTH2, User must be specified, but Password is not required.
This configuration setting specifies whether the control will use the IMAP4 Id extension defined in RFC 2971 and send the Id command to the server. When set to , the control will send the Id command with the value IPWorksIMAP if the server supports this as defined in the server's response to the CAPABILITY command.
The default value is , and this command will not be sent.
TCPClient Config Settings
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.
Note: This setting is provided for use by controls that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This configuration setting is provided for use by controls that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
0 | No firewall (default setting). |
1 | Connect through a tunneling proxy. FirewallPort is set to 80. |
2 | Connect through a SOCKS4 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080. |
3 | Connect through a SOCKS5 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080. |
10 | Connect 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.
Note: This setting is provided for use by controls that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This value is not applicable in macOS.
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.
www.google.com;www.nsoftware.com
Note: This value is not applicable in Java.
By default, this configuration setting is set to False.
0 | IPv4 only |
1 | IPv6 only |
2 | IPv6 with IPv4 fallback |
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:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ... Intermediate Cert ... eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj -----END CERTIFICATE----- \r \n -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEFjCCAv6gAwIBAgIQetu1SMxpnENAnnOz1P+PtTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBp ...

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.
Example values when SSLProvider is set to Platform include the following:
obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=*");

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

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]");
0x00000001 | Ignore time validity status of certificate. |
0x00000002 | Ignore time validity status of CTL. |
0x00000004 | Ignore non-nested certificate times. |
0x00000010 | Allow unknown certificate authority. |
0x00000020 | Ignore wrong certificate usage. |
0x00000100 | Ignore unknown certificate revocation status. |
0x00000200 | Ignore unknown CTL signer revocation status. |
0x00000400 | Ignore unknown certificate authority revocation status. |
0x00000800 | Ignore unknown root revocation status. |
0x00008000 | Allow test root certificate. |
0x00004000 | Trust test root certificate. |
0x80000000 | Ignore non-matching CN (certificate CN non-matching server name). |
This functionality is currently not available when the provider is OpenSSL.
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-----
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:
- "ecdhe_x25519" (default)
- "ecdhe_x448"
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp521r1"

- "rsa_pss_sha256" (default)
- "rsa_pss_sha384" (default)
- "rsa_pss_sha512" (default)
The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_x448,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072,ffdhe_4096,ffdhe_6144,ffdhe_8192

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