PSMTP Class

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The PSMTP class is used to send encrypted and/or signed emails with or without attachments using OpenPGP.

Syntax

ipworksopenpgp.psmtp()

Remarks

You can send an OpenPGP signed and encrypted message using the PSMTP class by calling the Encrypt, Sign, and SignAndEncrypt methods. 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.

Construct the Message

To begin specify common email properties such as SendTo, Cc, BCc, Subject, and MessageText. Connection information is specified by setting MailServer, and MailPort.

Sign

To sign a message specify a recipient key using the Key* properties. For instance: PSMTP1.KeyCount = 1 PSMTP1.KeyKeyring(0) = "c:\my_keyring_dir" PSMTP1.KeyUserId(0) = "sender@nsoftware.com" PSMTP1.KeyPassphrase(0) = "password" The specified private key will be used to sign the message when Sign is called.

Encrypt

To both sign and encrypt a message call SignAndEncrypt.

To encrypt a message specify a recipient key using the RecipientKey* properties. For instance: PSMTP1.RecipientKeyCount = 1 PSMTP1.RecipientKeyKeyring(0) = "c:\my_keyring_dir" PSMTP1.RecipientKeyUserId(0) = "recipient@nsoftware.com" The specified public key will be used to encrypt the message when Encrypt is called.

Sign and Encrypt

You can call the SignAndEncrypt method to sign and encrypt messages in one step. Set the public key of the recipient to be used for encryption in the and the private key to be used to sign the message in the Key* properties .

Send

Once all the appropriate properties have been set, call the Send method and the message will be sent to its intended recipient(s).

PSMTP.AllowExtensions Property

This property is a switch allowing the class to use ESMTP features (Extended SMTP).

Syntax

isAllowExtensions(): boolean;
setAllowExtensions(allowExtensions: boolean): void;

Default Value

TRUE

Remarks

This property is a switch allowing the class to use ESMTP features (Extended SMTP). If this property is True, the class will first send the EHLO greeting (Extended Hello) to the server and, if that fails, the standard HELO command will be sent.

This property is True by default but may be disabled if it is known in advance that the MailServer does not support SMTP extensions.

This property is not available at design time.

PSMTP.AuthMechanism Property

This property is used when connecting to the mail server.

Syntax

getAuthMechanism(): PSMTPAuthMechanisms;
setAuthMechanism(authMechanism: PSMTPAuthMechanisms): void;

enum PSMTPAuthMechanisms { amUserPassword, amCRAMMD5, amNTLM, amAPOP, amSASLPlain, amSASLDigestMD5, amKerberos, amXOAUTH2 }

Default Value

0

Remarks

This is the authentication mechanism property to be used when connecting to the mail server.

By default, this property is amUserPassword (0), and if the User and Password properties are set, the AUTH command is sent to the server for authentication. If this property is set to amCRAMMD5 (1), CRAM-MD5 authentication is used instead.

If this property is set to amNTLM (2), NTLM authentication will be used.

If this property is set to amKerberos (6), Kerberos authentication will be used.

Note: This functionality is available only in Windows.

When set to amXOAUTH2 (7), set User to the username and AuthorizationIdentity to the OAuth token. See AuthorizationIdentity for details.

PSMTP.BCc Property

This property includes a comma-separated list of addresses for blind carbon copies (optional).

Syntax

getBCc(): string;
setBCc(BCc: string): void;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property specifies a comma-separated list of destinations for blind carbon copies of the mail message. A copy of the message is sent to each destination. Because no BCc SMTP header is created containing the destination addresses, individual recipients never see the list of the other recipients.

The class will return an error if the MailServer returns an error code about any email address specified in SendTo or Cc but it will fire an Error event only if the same thing happens with an email address specified in this property.

If the resulting header is longer than MaxHeaderLength, then it is folded according to RFC 822 specifications.

Note: You must clear the MessageRecipients properties before setting this property to remove previous recipients.

PSMTP.Cc Property

This property includes a comma-separated list of addresses for carbon copies (optional).

Syntax

getCc(): string;
setCc(cc: string): void;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property specifies a comma-separated list of destinations for carbon copies of the mail message. A copy of the message is sent to each destination, and a Cc SMTP header is created containing the destination addresses. This header is sent to every recipient of the message. If you don't want to copy this information to every recipient, then use blind carbon copies instead (see the description of the BCc).

The class will return an error if the MailServer returns an error code about any email address specified in SendTo or Cc but it will fire an Error event only if the same thing happens with an email address specified in BCc.

If the resulting header is longer than MaxHeaderLength, then it is folded according to RFC 822 specifications.

Note: You must clear the MessageRecipients properties before setting this property to remove previous recipients.

PSMTP.CompressionMethod Property

The compression algorithm used.

Syntax

getCompressionMethod(): string;
setCompressionMethod(compressionMethod: string): void;

Default Value

"zip"

Remarks

This property specifies which compression method is used when generating output. Possible values are:

  • bzip2
  • none or uncompressed
Note: The level of compression is controlled by the CompressionLevel setting.

PSMTP.Connected Property

Whether the class is connected.

Syntax

isConnected(): boolean;

Default Value

FALSE

Remarks

This property is used to determine whether or not the class is connected to the remote host. Use the Connect and Disconnect methods to manage the connection.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

PSMTP.DeliveryNotificationTo Property

This property includes the email address to which to send a delivery notification.

Syntax

getDeliveryNotificationTo(): string;
setDeliveryNotificationTo(deliveryNotificationTo: string): void;

Default Value

""

Remarks

  • AES128-OCB (AEAD)
  • AES256-GCM (AEAD)
  • AES192-GCM (AEAD)
  • AES128-GCM (AEAD)

Note that if UseArgon2 is enabled, and SymmetricPassphrase is specified, an AEAD encryption algorithm (AES*-OCB and AES*-GCM) must be specified for symmetric encryption. If UseArgon2 is disabled, and an AEAD encryption algorithm is specified, the AEAD mode (OCB or GCM) will be ignored when performing symmetric encryption.

An AEAD encryption algorithm may optionally be utilized when encrypting messages (when calling Encrypt). In this case, the AEADChunkSizeExp configuration will specify the chunk size for splitting plaintext for encryption. Please see AEADChunkSizeExp for additional details.

Please refer to the Firewall type for a complete list of fields.

PSMTP.From Property

This property includes the email address of the sender (required).

Syntax

getFrom(): string;
setFrom(from: string): void;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property is used to create a From SMTP header. This header identifies the sender of the message. A valid email address is required. Examples of valid addresses are as follows: "Friendly Name" <address@company.com> or address@company.com

If the resulting header is longer than MaxHeaderLength, then it is folded according to RFC 822 specifications.

PSMTP.Idle Property

The current status of the class.

Syntax

isIdle(): boolean;

Default Value

TRUE

Remarks

This property will be False if the component is currently busy (communicating or waiting for an answer), and True at all other times.

PSMTP.Keys Property

A collection of keys used for cryptographic operations.

Syntax

getKeys(): KeyList;
setKeys(keys: KeyList): void;

Default Value

Remarks

This collection holds keys that are used for signing and decrypting. In most cases only one key will be specified, however multiple keys may be needed in some cases.

Remarks

This property indicates the last reply received from the server. It can be used for informational purposes. The same information and more also can be retrieved through the PITrail event.

This property is read-only.

PSMTP.LocalHost Property

The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.

Syntax

getLocalHost(): string;
setLocalHost(localHost: string): void;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property 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 IP address of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface. It is recommended to provide an IP address rather than a hostname when setting this property to ensure the desired interface is used.

If the class is connected, the LocalHost property 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).

Note: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.

PSMTP.MailPort Property

This property includes the server port for SMTP (default 25).

Syntax

getMailPort(): number;
setMailPort(mailPort: number): void;

Default Value

25

Remarks

This property contains the server port for SMTP (default 25). A valid port number (a value between 1 and 65535) is required for the connection to take place. The property must be set before a connection is attempted and cannot be changed once a connection is established. Any attempt to change this property while connected will fail with an error.

For an implicit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), use port 465 (please refer to the SSLStartMode property for more information).

This property is not available at design time.

PSMTP.MailServer Property

This property includes the name or address of a mail server (mail relay).

Syntax

getMailServer(): string;
setMailServer(mailServer: string): void;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property specifies the IP address (IP number in dotted internet format) or domain name for a mail relay through which messages will be routed. It is set before a connection is attempted and cannot be changed once a connection is in progress.

The current version of the class does not provide a default value for the mail relay. You must provide a host name yourself. Generally, any internet host with an SMTP server will suffice (e.g., a UNIX host), but it is preferable to select a MailServer that is close to the machine sending mail.

If this property is set to a domain name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, this property is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

If the class is configured to use a SOCKS firewall, the value assigned to this property may be preceded with an "*". If this is the case, the host name is passed to the firewall unresolved and the firewall performs the DNS resolution.

PSMTP.Message Property

This property provides a way to set the raw message content.

Syntax

getMessage(): Uint8Array;
setMessage(message: Uint8Array): void;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property may be set instead of MessageText. This value will not be modified in any way by the class and will be sent as is. Use caution when setting this value as all encoding must be done before supplying the value to the component.

This property is not available at design time.

PSMTP.MessageDate Property

This property includes the date of the mail message (optional).

Syntax

getMessageDate(): string;
setMessageDate(messageDate: string): void;

Default Value

"*"

Remarks

If this property contains a nonempty string, then a Date SMTP header is created and attached to the message. If it is an empty string, then the date information is added by the mail relay(s) the message goes through.

Special case: If this property is set to the special value "*", a Date SMTP header reflecting the current date and time is generated when MessageHeaders is computed and the message is sent. This is the default behavior of the class

RFC 822 contains detailed date format specifications. An example of a valid date is "Fri, 1 Mar 96 21:24:52 EST".

This property is not available at design time.

PSMTP.MessageHeaders Property

This property includes a collection of RFC 822-encoded headers of the message.

PSMTP.MessageId Property

This property includes the message identifier for the message.

Syntax

getMessageId(): string;
setMessageId(messageId: string): void;

Default Value

"*"

Remarks

This property contains the message identifier for the message. When set, the value of MessageId is used as the Message-Id header value of the message. A special value of "*" will automatically generate a random unique identifier for the message.

This property is not available at design time.

Please refer to the MessageRecipient type for a complete list of fields.

PSMTP.MessageText Property

This property includes the full text of the message to send (without headers).

Syntax

getMessageText(): string;
setMessageText(messageText: string): void;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains the full text of the message.

The text contained in this property should be a collection of lines with lengths less than or equal to 80 bytes separated by . The text in the message lines must contain 7-bit characters so that the message can successfully pass through the multitude of mail systems on the Internet.

The class automatically escapes lines that start with a "." by adding another as specified in RFC 821. The message text is unescaped by the receiving agent, so the process is fully transparent.

PSMTP.OtherHeaders Property

This property includes an RFC 822-compliant string consisting of extra headers.

Syntax

getOtherHeaders(): string;
setOtherHeaders(otherHeaders: string): void;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains a string of headers to be appended to the message headers created from other properties like SendTo, Subject, and so on.

The headers must be of the format "header: value" as specified in RFC 822. Header lines should be separated by .

Use this property with caution. If this property contains invalid headers, message delivery might not be successful.

This property is useful for extending the functionality of the class. A good example is delivery of MIME-encoded messages.

Special case: If this property starts with an empty line (CRLF), then the value of this property is used instead of the normally computed message headers.

Example. Sending an Email with an Additional Header:

component.MailServer = "MyServer"; component.From = "me@server.com"; component.SendTo = "recipient@server.com"; component.Subject = "My Subject"; component.MessageText = "This is the message body."; component.OtherHeaders = "HeaderName: HeaderValue"; component.Send();

setSSLEnabled(SSLEnabled: boolean): void;

Default Value

FALSE

Remarks

This property specifies whether TLS/SSL is enabled in the class. When False (default), the class operates in plaintext mode. When True, TLS/SSL is enabled.

TLS/SSL may also be enabled by setting SSLStartMode. Setting SSLStartMode will automatically update this property value.

This property is not available at design time.

PSMTP.SSLProvider Property

The Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) implementation to use.

Syntax

getSSLProvider(): PSMTPSSLProviders;
setSSLProvider(SSLProvider: PSMTPSSLProviders): void;

enum PSMTPSSLProviders { sslpAutomatic, sslpPlatform, sslpInternal }

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use. In most cases the default value of 0 (Automatic) is recommended and should not be changed. When set to 0 (Automatic), the class will select whether to use the platform implementation or the internal implementation depending on the operating system as well as the TLS version being used.

Possible values are as follows:

0 (sslpAutomatic - default)Automatically selects the appropriate implementation.
1 (sslpPlatform) Uses the platform/system implementation.
2 (sslpInternal) Uses the internal implementation.
Additional Notes

In most cases using the default value (Automatic) is recommended. The class will select a provider depending on the current platform.

enum PSMTPSSLStartModes { sslAutomatic, sslImplicit, sslExplicit, sslNone }

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 class 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 class 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.

PSMTP.Subject Property

This property includes the subject of the mail message (optional).

Syntax

getSubject(): string;
setSubject(subject: string): void;

Default Value

""

Remarks

The string in this property is sent with a Subject SMTP header to the mail recipient.

If the resulting header is longer than MaxHeaderLength, then it is folded according to RFC 822 specifications.

PSMTP.Timeout Property

The timeout for the class.

Syntax

getTimeout(): number;
setTimeout(timeout: number): void;

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 class will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.

The class 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 class .

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.

PSMTP.User Property

This property includes the user identifier needed to log in as in the MailServer .

Syntax

getUser(): string;
setUser(user: string): void;

This property is not available at design time.

PSMTP.config Method

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

async psmtp.config(configurationString : string): Promise<string>

Remarks

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

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

This method looks in the directory for files with the extension ".queued" and starts processing them.

When processing starts, the file extension is changed to ".sending". If an error happens at this stage, the sending process is aborted, and the file extension is changed to ".failed".

If the file is successfully sent, the file is normally deleted, unless the KeepQueue configuration setting is set to True, in which case the file extension is instead changed to ".sent" and the queue file is not deleted.

PSMTP.queue Method

This method queues the message into QueueDir .

Syntax

async psmtp.queue(queueDir : string): Promise<string>

Remarks

This method queues the message into QueueDir. The message is queued into a unique file into the directory QueueDir for future processing.

QueueDir must already exist, or an error will be generated. Alternatively, QueueDir may be set to "*" to return the result as a string instead of writing it to a file.

This method returns the name of the unique queue file created in QueueDir. The file extension is ".queued".

Please refer to the ProcessQueue method for more information on email queue processing.

PSMTP.resetHeaders Method

This method resets all the message headers to empty.

Syntax

async psmtp.resetHeaders(): Promise<void>

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 class. The ListStoreCertificates method may be called after setting CertStoreType to cstPKCS11, CertStorePassword to the PIN, and CertStore to the full path of the PKCS#11 DLL. The certificate information returned in the CertList event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use.

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

Config Settings (class ipworksopenpgp.psmtp)

The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

PSMTP Config Settings

ClearSignature:   Specifies whether or not to create a cleartext signature.

This setting controls whether or not a cleartext signature is created during signing. The default value is True. When set to True a cleartext signature will be created when Sign is called.

Note: some mail applications such as GpgOL cannot process cleartext signatures.

Comment:   The OpenPGP message comment.

OpenPGP messages may contain a comment. A comment may optionally be set before calling Encrypt, Sign, or SignAndEncrypt.

CompressionLevel:   The level of compression used.

This setting specifies the level of compression used: possible values depend on the value of CompressionMethod and are detailed below.

zlib 1-6
zip 1-6
bzip21-9
Higher values will cause the class to compress better; lower values will cause the class to compress faster. The default value for all methods is 4.
EnsureValidDSASignatureHashAlgorithm:   Whether or not to select a suitable signature hash algorithm automatically.

This setting specifies whether the class ensures a valid hash algorithm is selected for use with the loaded DSA or ECDSA key. The default value is True.

DSA Notes

DSA requires that the hash be 160 bits or larger, which means MD5 is not a suitable algorithm. When DSA Signature Hash Algorithm selection is enabled (default) the class will use the preferred algorithm from the key if it meets the requirements for DSA. If the preferred algorithm is MD5 and does not meed the requirements for DSA the class will automatically use a suitable algorithm based on the Q element of the DSA key (may be SHA1, SHA224, or SHA256).

ECDSA Notes

The ECDSA Signature Hash Algorithm requirements are directly related to the KeyCurve used by the key. When this setting is enabled (default) the class will use the preferred algorithm from the key if it meets the requirements for ECDSA. If the preferred algorithm does not meet the requirements the class will automatically select a valid hash algorithm based on the curve as follows:

CurveHash Algorithm
secp256r1 SHA256
secp384r1 SHA384
secp521r1 SHA512
secp256k1 SHA256

LogLevel:   Specifies the level of detail that is logged.

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

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.
ProcessAttachments:   Whether or not to process attachments.

This setting controls whether attachments are processed when calling Encrypt, Sign, or SignAndEncrypt. If set to True the attachments will also be encrypted and/or signed. If set to False the attachments will be added to the message with no additional processing. The default value is False.

SymmetricPassphrase:   The password used for symmetric encryption or decryption.

This setting specifies the passphrase when using symmetric encryption. If a value is provided, symmetric encryption/decryption will be attempted. In this case no keys are used for either encryption or decryption. Only Encrypt and Decrypt are valid operations when a value is set. Sign, SignAndEncrypt, VerifySignature, and DecryptAndVerifySignature are not valid operations when using this option.

VersionHeader:   The Version header value in the ASCII armored OpenPGP message.

This setting specifies the Version header value included in the ASCII armored OpenPGP message. This may be set before calling Encrypt, Sign, or SignAndEncrypt. The default value is "IPWorks! OpenPGP 2022".

This setting will be populated after calling Decrypt, VerifySignature, or DecryptAndVerifySignature.

SMTP Config Settings

AllowEmptyTo:   If set to True, then the SendTo property is not required.

Normally, the SendTo property is required to send a message. If AllowEmptyTo is True, then this is not the case, and messages can be sent with just one or both of Cc and BCc set.

AuthorizationIdentity:   The value to use as the authorization identity when SASL authentication is used.

When AuthMechanism is set to amXOAUTH2, you may use this configuration setting to specify an authorization identity to be used when authenticating. In the case of amXOAUTH2, this should be your OAUTH authorization string. For instance:

Bearer ya29.AHES6ZRmS-8xPbpGetC1VbABJIBRdKm-c4X7wMVGAbgxdGt5q8Ts3Q

Note: When using amXOAUTH2, User must be specified, but Password is not required.

Charset:   When set, the message headers will be encoded using the specified Charset.

This configuration setting is used to specify the "charset" to be used to encode the message headers. For example, to use UTF-8 you can set this property to "UTF-8". The default value is "" (empty string) in which case the headers will not be encoded.

Hello:   The argument for HELO (herald) command to the server (defaults to local host name).

The Hello property specifies a string to send to the MailServer at connection time as an argument to the SMTP HELO command. This generally identifies the host sending mail, and that is why the Hello property defaults to the name of the local host. The property is provided in case the class does not accept the default value and a custom value (e.g., a fully qualified domain name) must be sent.

If AllowExtensions is True, the EHLO command will be sent instead of the HELO command.

KeepQueue:   If set to True, queued files are not deleted after a successful send.

Normally, ProcessQueue deletes queued files after processing them. If KeepQueue is True, then the file extension is instead changed to ".sent" and the files are not deleted.

MaxHeaderLength:   Maximum length for headers to avoid line folding (default 80).

The MaxHeaderLength specifies the maximum line length supported by the mail delivery system. Any headers longer than MaxHeaderLength are folded as specified in RFC 822.

It is generally a good idea to use a MaxHeaderLength of less than 100 bytes, although different mail relays and mail servers have different requirements for header lengths.

MessageHeadersString:   String representation of RFC822-encoded headers of the message.

This setting holds the full headers of the message in RFC 822 format. Use this along with TransferText to store the entire message in RFC 822 format.

Example: smtp1.Send(); string rawMsg = smtp1.Config("MessageHeadersString") + smtp1.Config("TransferText");

MessageIdAlgorithm:   Determines the algorithm used to hash the random MessageId.

The MessageIdAlgorithm specifies which algorithm to use in the hash for the MessageId when the property is set to "*". The default value is "SHA1".

Possible values are as follows:

  • "MD5"
  • "SHA1" (default)
  • "SHA256"

OtherHeaders:   An RFC 822 compliant string consisting of extra headers.

This is the same as the OtherHeaders property. This configuration setting is exposed for use by classs that are inherited from SMTP.

ReturnPath:   Sets the Return-Path to be used for sending email.

This is the same as the ReturnPath property. This configuration setting is exposed for use by classs that are inherited from SMTP.

SendRSET:   Whether to send RSET command.

By default, the class will periodically send the RSET command to the server. Changing this configuration setting to False will prevent the RSET command from being sent. This can be useful when interacting with some servers that do not respond properly to the RSET command.

StopOnBccErrors:   Instructs the class to stop sending the message if the server does not acknowledge any of the BCCs.

If this configuration setting is set to True, the class will fail the moment the server does not acknowledge a Bcc address. If it is set to False, an error will be fired for every Bcc that is not recognized by the server, but the message will be sent to the rest of the recipients. The default value is False.

StopOnCcErrors:   Instructs the class to stop sending the message if the server does not acknowledge any of the CCs.

If this configuration setting is set to True, the class will fail the moment the server does not acknowledge a Cc address. If it is set to False, an error will be fired for every Cc that is not recognized by the server, but the message will be sent to the rest of the recipients. The default value is True.

StopOnToErrors:   Instructs the class to stop sending the message if the server does not acknowledge any of the TOs.

If this configuration setting is set to True, the class will fail the moment the server does not acknowledge a To address. If it is set to False, an error will be fired for every To that is not recognized by the server, but the message will be sent to the rest of the recipients. The default value is True.

TransferText:   String representation of RFC822-encoded body of the message.

This configuration setting holds the full body of the message in RFC 822 format. Use this along with MessageHeadersString to store the entire message in RFC 822 format.

Example: smtp1.Send(); string rawMsg = smtp1.Config("MessageHeadersString") + smtp1.Config("TransferText");

TCPClient Config Settings

ConnectionTimeout:   Sets a separate timeout value for establishing a connection.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

FirewallPort:   The TCP port for the FirewallHost;.

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

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

FirewallType:   Determines the type of firewall to connect through.

Possible values are as follows:

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

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

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

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

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

KeepAliveInterval:   The retry interval, in milliseconds, to be used when a TCP keep-alive packet is sent and no response is received.

When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to True. A TCP keep-alive packet will be sent after a period of inactivity as defined by KeepAliveTime. If no acknowledgment is received from the remote host, the keep-alive packet will be sent again. This configuration setting specifies the interval at which the successive keep-alive packets are sent in milliseconds. This system default if this value is not specified here is 1 second.

Note: This value is not applicable in macOS.

KeepAliveTime:   The inactivity time in milliseconds before a TCP keep-alive packet is sent.

When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to True. By default, the operating system will determine the time a connection is idle before a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) keep-alive packet is sent. This system default if this value is not specified here is 2 hours. In many cases, a shorter interval is more useful. Set this value to the desired interval in milliseconds.

Linger:   When set to True, connections are terminated gracefully.

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

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

In the second scenario, if LingerTime is a positive value, the system will attempt to send pending data until the specified LingerTime is reached. If this attempt fails, then the system will reset the connection.

The default behavior (which is also the default mode for stream sockets) might result in a long delay in closing the connection. Although the class returns control immediately, the system could hold system resources until all pending data are sent (even after your application closes).

Setting this property to False forces an immediate disconnection. If you know that the other side has received all the data you sent (e.g., by a client acknowledgment), setting this property to False might be the appropriate course of action.

LingerTime:   Time in seconds to have the connection linger.

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

LocalHost:   The name of the local host through which connections are initiated or accepted.

The LocalHost setting contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

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

If the class is connected, the LocalHost setting shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

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

This configuration setting must be set before a connection is attempted. It instructs the class to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine.

Setting this to 0 (default) enables the system to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by LocalPort after the connection is established.

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

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

MaxLineLength:   The maximum amount of data to accumulate when no EOL is found.

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

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

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

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

MaxTransferRate:   The transfer rate limit in bytes per second.

This configuration setting can be used to throttle outbound TCP traffic. Set this to the number of bytes to be sent per second. By default, this is not set and there is no limit.

ProxyExceptionsList:   A semicolon separated list of hosts and IPs to bypass when using a proxy.

This configuration setting optionally specifies a semicolon-separated list of hostnames or IP addresses to bypass when a proxy is in use. When requests are made to hosts specified in this property, the proxy will not be used. For instance:

www.google.com;www.nsoftware.com

TCPKeepAlive:   Determines whether or not the keep alive socket option is enabled.

If set to True, the socket's keep-alive option is enabled and keep-alive packets will be sent periodically to maintain the connection. Set KeepAliveTime and KeepAliveInterval to configure the timing of the keep-alive packets.

Note: This value is not applicable in Java.

TcpNoDelay:   Whether or not to delay when sending packets.

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

By default, this configuration setting is set to False.

UseIPv6:   Whether to use IPv6.

When set to 0 (default), the class will use IPv4 exclusively. When set to 1, the class will use IPv6 exclusively. To instruct the class to prefer IPv6 addresses, but use IPv4 if IPv6 is not supported on the system, this setting should be set to 2. The default value is 0. Possible values are as follows:

0 IPv4 only
1 IPv6 only
2 IPv6 with IPv4 fallback

SSL Config Settings

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

When SSLProvider is set to Internal, this configuration setting controls whether Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) packets should be logged. By default, this configuration setting is False, as it is useful only for debugging purposes.

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

Enabling this configuration setting has no effect if SSLProvider is set to Platform.

OpenSSLCADir:   The path to a directory containing CA certificates.

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

The path set by this property should point to a directory containing CA certificates in PEM format. The files each contain one CA certificate. The files are looked up by the CA subject name hash value, which must hence be available. If more than one CA certificate with the same name hash value exist, the extension must be different (e.g., 9d66eef0.0, 9d66eef0.1). OpenSSL recommends the use of the c_rehash utility to create the necessary links. Please refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.

OpenSSLCAFile:   Name of the file containing the list of CA's trusted by your application.

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

The file set by this property should contain a list of CA certificates in PEM format. The file can contain several CA certificates identified by the following sequences:

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

... (CA certificate in base64 encoding) ...

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Before, between, and after the certificate text is allowed, which can be used, for example, for descriptions of the certificates. Refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.

OpenSSLCipherList:   A string that controls the ciphers to be used by SSL.

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

The format of this string is described in the OpenSSL man page ciphers(1) section "CIPHER LIST FORMAT". Please refer to it for details. The default string "DEFAULT" is determined at compile time and is normally equivalent to "ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+SSLv2:@STRENGTH".

OpenSSLPrngSeedData:   The data to seed the pseudo random number generator (PRNG).

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

By default, OpenSSL uses the device file "/dev/urandom" to seed the PRNG, and setting OpenSSLPrngSeedData is not required. If set, the string specified is used to seed the PRNG.

ReuseSSLSession:   Determines if the SSL session is reused.

If set to True, the class will reuse the context if and only if the following criteria are met:

  • The target host name is the same.
  • The system cache entry has not expired (default timeout is 10 hours).
  • The application process that calls the function is the same.
  • The logon session is the same.
  • The instance of the class is the same.

SSLAcceptAnyServerCert:   Whether to trust any certificate presented by the server.

This configuration setting disables all certificate verification when set to True. This configuration setting must be enabled to trust a self-signed certificate. It is not recommended to enable this configuration setting in a production environment. The default value is False.

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

When SSLProvider is set to Internal, this configuration setting specifies one or more CA certificates to be included with the SSLCert property. Some servers or clients require the entire chain, including CA certificates, to be presented when performing SSL authentication. The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw
... Intermediate Cert ...
eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w
F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
\r \n
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

... Root Cert ...
d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

SSLCipherStrength:   The minimum cipher strength used for bulk encryption.

This minimum cipher strength is largely dependent on the security modules installed on the system. If the cipher strength specified is not supported, an error will be returned when connections are initiated.

Note: This configuration setting contains the minimum cipher strength requested from the security library. The actual cipher strength used for the connection is shown by the SSLStatus event.

Use this configuration setting with caution. Requesting a lower cipher strength than necessary could potentially cause serious security vulnerabilities in your application.

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

SSLClientCACerts:   A newline separated list of CA certificates to use during SSL client certificate validation.

This configuration setting is only applicable to server components (e.g., TCPServer) see SSLServerCACerts for client components (e.g., TCPClient). This setting can be used to optionally specify one or more CA certificates to be used when verifying the client certificate that is presented by the client during the SSL handshake when SSLAuthenticateClients is enabled. When verifying the client's certificate, the certificates trusted by the system will be used as part of the verification process. If the client's CA certificates are not installed to the trusted system store, they may be specified here so they are included when performing the verification process. This configuration setting should be set only if the client's CA certificates are not already trusted on the system and cannot be installed to the trusted system store.

The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw
... Intermediate Cert ...
eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w
F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

SSLEnabledCipherSuites:   The cipher suite to be used in an SSL negotiation.

This configuration setting enables the cipher suites to be used in SSL negotiation.

By default, the enabled cipher suites will include all available ciphers ("*").

The special value "*" means that the class will pick all of the supported cipher suites. If SSLEnabledCipherSuites is set to any other value, only the specified cipher suites will be considered.

Multiple cipher suites are separated by semicolons.

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

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

  • TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
  • TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
  • TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

SSLEnabledCipherSuites is used together with SSLCipherStrength.

SSLEnabledProtocols:   Used to enable/disable the supported security protocols.

This configuration setting is used to enable or disable the supported security protocols.

Not all supported protocols are enabled by default. The default value is 4032 for client components, and 3072 for server components. To specify a combination of enabled protocol versions set this config to the binary OR of one or more of the following values:

TLS1.312288 (Hex 3000)
TLS1.23072 (Hex C00) (Default - Client and Server)
TLS1.1768 (Hex 300) (Default - Client)
TLS1 192 (Hex C0) (Default - Client)
SSL3 48 (Hex 30)
SSL2 12 (Hex 0C)

Note that only TLS 1.2 is enabled for server components that accept incoming connections. This adheres to industry standards to ensure a secure connection. Client components enable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2 by default and will negotiate the highest mutually supported version when connecting to a server, which should be TLS 1.2 in most cases.

SSLEnabledProtocols: Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 Notes:

In the JavaScript edition, the platform implementation is used when TLS 1.3 is enabled and SSLEnabledCipherSuites and other similar SSL configuration settings are not supported.

SSLEnabledProtocols: SSL2 and SSL3 Notes:

SSL 2.0 and 3.0 are not supported by the class when the SSLProvider is set to internal. To use SSL 2.0 or SSL 3.0, the platform security API must have the protocols enabled and SSLProvider needs to be set to platform.

SSLEnableRenegotiation:   Whether the renegotiation_info SSL extension is supported.

This configuration setting specifies whether the renegotiation_info SSL extension will be used in the request when using the internal security API. This configuration setting is false by default, but it can be set to true to enable the extension.

This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLProvider is set to Internal.

SSLIncludeCertChain:   Whether the entire certificate chain is included in the SSLServerAuthentication event.

This configuration setting specifies whether the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event contains the full certificate chain. By default this value is False and only the leaf certificate will be present in the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event.

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

SSLKeyLogFile:   The location of a file where per-session secrets are written for debugging purposes.

This configuration setting optionally specifies the full path to a file on disk where per-session secrets are stored for debugging purposes.

When set, the class will save the session secrets in the same format as the SSLKEYLOGFILE environment variable functionality used by most major browsers and tools, such as Chrome, Firefox, and cURL. This file can then be used in tools such as Wireshark to decrypt TLS traffic for debugging purposes. When writing to this file, the class will only append, it will not overwrite previous values.

Note: This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLProvider is set to Internal.

SSLNegotiatedCipher:   Returns the negotiated cipher suite.

This configuration setting returns the cipher suite negotiated during the SSL handshake.

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

SSLNegotiatedCipherStrength:   Returns the negotiated cipher suite strength.

This configuration setting returns the strength of the cipher suite negotiated during the SSL handshake.

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

SSLNegotiatedCipherSuite:   Returns the negotiated cipher suite.

This configuration setting returns the cipher suite negotiated during the SSL handshake represented as a single string.

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

SSLNegotiatedKeyExchange:   Returns the negotiated key exchange algorithm.

This configuration setting returns the key exchange algorithm negotiated during the SSL handshake.

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

SSLNegotiatedKeyExchangeStrength:   Returns the negotiated key exchange algorithm strength.

This configuration setting returns the strength of the key exchange algorithm negotiated during the SSL handshake.

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

SSLNegotiatedVersion:   Returns the negotiated protocol version.

This configuration setting returns the protocol version negotiated during the SSL handshake.

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

SSLSecurityFlags:   Flags that control certificate verification.

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

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

This functionality is currently not available when the provider is OpenSSL.

SSLServerCACerts:   A newline separated list of CA certificates to use during SSL server certificate validation.

This configuration setting is only used by client components (e.g., TCPClient) see SSLClientCACerts for server components (e.g., TCPServer). This configuration setting can be used to optionally specify one or more CA certificates to be used when connecting to the server and verifying the server certificate. When verifying the server's certificate, the certificates trusted by the system will be used as part of the verification process. If the server's CA certificates are not installed to the trusted system store, they may be specified here so they are included when performing the verification process. This configuration setting should be set only if the server's CA certificates are not already trusted on the system and cannot be installed to the trusted system store.

The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw
... Intermediate Cert...
eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w

... Root Cert...
d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

TLS12SignatureAlgorithms:   Defines the allowed TLS 1.2 signature algorithms when SSLProvider is set to Internal.

This configuration setting specifies the allowed server certificate signature algorithms when SSLProvider is set to Internal and SSLEnabledProtocols is set to allow TLS 1.2.

When specified the class will verify that the server certificate signature algorithm is among the values specified in this configuration setting. If the server certificate signature algorithm is unsupported, the class .

The format of this value is a comma-separated list of hash-signature combinations. For instance: component.SSLProvider = TCPClientSSLProviders.sslpInternal; component.Config("SSLEnabledProtocols=3072"); //TLS 1.2 component.Config("TLS12SignatureAlgorithms=sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa"); The default value for this configuration setting is sha512-ecdsa,sha512-rsa,sha512-dsa,sha384-ecdsa,sha384-rsa,sha384-dsa,sha256-ecdsa,sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha224-ecdsa,sha224-rsa,sha224-dsa,sha1-ecdsa,sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa.

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

TLS12SupportedGroups:   The supported groups for ECC.

This configuration setting specifies a comma-separated list of named groups used in TLS 1.2 for ECC.

The default value is ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1.

When using TLS 1.2 and SSLProvider is set to Internal, the values refer to the supported groups for ECC. The following values are supported:

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

TLS13KeyShareGroups:   The groups for which to pregenerate key shares.

This configuration setting specifies a comma-separated list of named groups used in TLS 1.3 for key exchange. The groups specified here will have key share data pregenerated locally before establishing a connection. This can prevent an additional roundtrip during the handshake if the group is supported by the server.

The default value is set to balance common supported groups and the computational resources required to generate key shares. As a result, only some groups are included by default in this configuration setting.

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

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

The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072

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

  • "ecdhe_x25519" (default)
  • "ecdhe_x448"
  • "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
  • "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
  • "ecdhe_secp521r1"
  • "ffdhe_2048" (default)
  • "ffdhe_3072" (default)
  • "ffdhe_4096"
  • "ffdhe_6144"
  • "ffdhe_8192"

TLS13SignatureAlgorithms:   The allowed certificate signature algorithms.

This configuration setting holds a comma-separated list of allowed signature algorithms. Possible values include the following:

  • "ed25519" (default)
  • "ed448" (default)
  • "ecdsa_secp256r1_sha256" (default)
  • "ecdsa_secp384r1_sha384" (default)
  • "ecdsa_secp521r1_sha512" (default)
  • "rsa_pkcs1_sha256" (default)
  • "rsa_pkcs1_sha384" (default)
  • "rsa_pkcs1_sha512" (default)
  • "rsa_pss_sha256" (default)
  • "rsa_pss_sha384" (default)
  • "rsa_pss_sha512" (default)
The default value is rsa_pss_sha256,rsa_pss_sha384,rsa_pss_sha512,rsa_pkcs1_sha256,rsa_pkcs1_sha384,rsa_pkcs1_sha512,ecdsa_secp256r1_sha256,ecdsa_secp384r1_sha384,ecdsa_secp521r1_sha512,ed25519,ed448. This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLEnabledProtocols includes TLS 1.3.
TLS13SupportedGroups:   The supported groups for (EC)DHE key exchange.

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

The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_x448,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072,ffdhe_4096,ffdhe_6144,ffdhe_8192

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

  • "ecdhe_x25519" (default)
  • "ecdhe_x448" (default)
  • "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
  • "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
  • "ecdhe_secp521r1" (default)
  • "ffdhe_2048" (default)
  • "ffdhe_3072" (default)
  • "ffdhe_4096" (default)
  • "ffdhe_6144" (default)
  • "ffdhe_8192" (default)

Socket Config Settings

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

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

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

FirewallData:   Used to send extra data to the firewall.

When the firewall is a tunneling proxy, use this property to send custom (additional) headers to the firewall (e.g., headers for custom authentication schemes).

InBufferSize:   The size in bytes of the incoming queue of the socket.

This is the size of an internal queue in the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be receiving. In some cases, increasing the value of the InBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in performance.

Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the InBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

OutBufferSize:   The size in bytes of the outgoing queue of the socket.

This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be sending. In some cases, increasing the value of the OutBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in performance.

Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the OutBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

Base Config Settings

BuildInfo:   Information about the product's build.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build.

LicenseInfo:   Information about the current license.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a class is using. It will return the following information:

  • Product: The product the license is for.
  • Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
  • License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
  • License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
  • Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.
MaskSensitiveData:   Whether sensitive data is masked in log messages.

In certain circumstances it may be beneficial to mask sensitive data, like passwords, in log messages. Set this to true to mask sensitive data. The default is true.

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

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

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

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

This setting is set to false by default on all platforms.
