Struct ipworkspgp::PIMAP

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The PIMAP struct is used to communicate with IMAP servers to retrieve and process OpenPGP encrypted and/or signed messages and any attachments.

Syntax

ipworkspgp::PIMAP

Remarks

The PIMAP struct 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 struct is specifying a mail_server, 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 struct'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 examine_mailbox method. After the mailbox is selected, message_count and recent_message_count show the number of messages in the mailbox, and mailbox_flags shows the flags pertaining to the mailbox.

A number of operations may be performed by the server in response to commands sent via the struct's methods. The primary arguments for most commands are the mailbox property and the message_set property. The message_set property denotes either a single message or a range of messages. Other arguments are specified through other properties such as sort_criteria, message_flags, etc.

Responses are received through events such as on_message_info and on_mailbox_list, and are also reflected in properties such as message_text, message_subject, etc.

Decrypt

To process an encrypted or signed message, first retrieve the message text and headers by calling retrieve_message_headers and retrieve_message_text. 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 verify_signature. To decrypt and verify in one step call decrypt_and_verify_signature.

Retrieve MIME Message Parts

The on_message_part event describes the MIME structure of retrieved messages. One on_message_part event is fired for every message part, giving information about the particular part. Later on, message parts may be retrieved separately through the retrieve_message_part method. This speeds up processing by avoiding the need to retrieve full messages from the server.

Trace Client and Server Communication

The on_pi_trail event traces the interaction between the client and the server. It includes all exchanges except for transfers of messages, message parts, and message headers.

Object Lifetime

The new() method returns a mutable reference to a struct instance. The object itself is kept in the global list maintained by IPWorksPGP. Due to this, the PIMAP struct cannot be disposed of automatically. Please, call the dispose(&mut self) method of PIMAP when you have finished using the instance.

Remarks

The user Id of the key. When a key is loaded this property is populated with the user Id associated with the key. This property may be set to load a key from the key_keyring. When this property is set the struct will search the key_keyring for a key associated with the UserId specified.

When loading a key with multiple user Ids, this property will be populated with the UserId that was most recently added to the key. To discover all of the UserIds associated with a key query this property and key_other_user_ids after loading the key.

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 its identifier instead.

When using this property to select a key you may also specify the key's Id, or any of its subkeys' Ids, instead of a user Id. The struct will then search for a key with a matching Id. This is helpful in situations where you do not have the UserId but still need to load the key, such as within the OpenPGP struct's on_recipient_info event.

Remarks

The hex-encoded, 4-byte or 8-byte key Id. 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

When a key is loaded, this property is populated with the Id associated with the key. This property may be set to load a key from the key_keyring. When this property is set the struct will search the key_keyring for a key associated with the Id specified.

The KeyIdLength setting may be set to control the length of the returned key Id.

NOTE: It is recommended to use the key_fingerprint property when loading a key from the key_keyring, as it is possible for different keys to have the same Id.

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 struct initiate connections (or accept in the case of server structs) 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 struct is connected, the local_host 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: local_host is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.

Default Value

""

Remarks

The user Id of the key. When a key is loaded this property is populated with the user Id associated with the key. This property may be set to load a key from the signer_key_keyring. When this property is set the struct will search the signer_key_keyring for a key associated with the UserId specified.

When loading a key with multiple user Ids, this property will be populated with the UserId that was most recently added to the key. To discover all of the UserIds associated with a key query this property and key_other_user_ids after loading the key.

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 its identifier instead.

When using this property to select a key you may also specify the key's Id, or any of its subkeys' Ids, instead of a user Id. The struct will then search for a key with a matching Id. This is helpful in situations where you do not have the UserId but still need to load the key, such as within the OpenPGP struct's on_recipient_info event.

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

To use a security key, create a new Certificate object and pass cstPKCS11 as the ssl_server_cert_store_type, the full path of the PKCS#11 DLL as the ssl_server_cert_store, and the PIN as the ssl_server_cert_store_password.

Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key (without CertMgr): sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll", "123456", // PIN "CN=cert_subject"); sftp.SSHUser = "test"; sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);

Alternatively, collect the necessary data using the CertMgr struct by calling the list_store_certificates method after setting the corresponding properties accordingly. The certificate information returned in the on_cert_list event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use.

When using a certificate obtained with this approach, pass the previously saved security key information as the ssl_server_cert_store and set ssl_server_cert_store_password to the PIN.

Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key (with CertMgr): 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);

Default Value

3

Remarks

The ssl_start_mode 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 struct will behave the same as if ssl_start_mode 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 struct 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

i32

start_byte property (PIMAP Struct)

This property includes the byte index of the position where the transfer should start.

Syntax

fn start_byte(&self ) -> Result<i64, IPWorksPGPError> 
fn set_start_byte(&self, value : i64) -> Option<IPWorksPGPError>

Default Value

0

Remarks

start_byte and end_byte are used together with the retrieve_message_part method to specify the portion of the message to be retrieved from the server.

When start_byte or end_byte 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 end_byte is 0, which corresponds to the end of the message.

Data Type

i64

timeout property (PIMAP Struct)

The timeout for the struct.

Syntax

fn timeout(&self ) -> Result<i32, IPWorksPGPError> 
fn set_timeout(&self, value : i32) -> Option<IPWorksPGPError>

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

The struct will use do_events 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 struct 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

i32

uid_mode property (PIMAP Struct)

If True, this property indicates whether permanent message identifiers are used instead of the default temporary identifiers.

Syntax

fn uid_mode(&self ) -> Result<bool, IPWorksPGPError> 
fn set_uid_mode(&self, value : bool) -> Option<IPWorksPGPError>

Default Value

false

Remarks

This property indicates if a permanent identifier should be used. Normally, the IMAP server uses temporary message identifiers that are valid only during the current session. If uid_mode is True, permanent message identifiers are used instead.

The following IMAP protocol operations use the UID mode: COPY, FETCH, STORE, and SEARCH.

Data Type

bool

uid_validity property (PIMAP Struct)

This property includes the UIDValidity parameter sent from the server in response to SelectMailbox command.

Syntax

fn uid_validity(&self ) -> Result<String, IPWorksPGPError> 

Default Value

""

Remarks

Every time a mailbox is selected, a uid_validity is returned from the server. Most of the time, this value will not change from call to call. If it does change, this means that all previously returned UIDs for messages inside this mailbox are now invalid.

This property is read-only.

Data Type

String

user property (PIMAP Struct)

This property includes the username used to authenticate to the MailServer .

Syntax

fn user(&self ) -> Result<String, IPWorksPGPError> 
fn set_user(&self, value : &str) -> Option<IPWorksPGPError> fn set_user_ref(&self, value : &String) -> Option<IPWorksPGPError>

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains the username used to authenticate to the mail_server. Both the user and password properties must be set before connecting to the mail_server.

Data Type

String

Syntax

fn add_message_flags(&self, flags : &str) -> Result<(), IPWorksPGPError>

Remarks

This method adds the specified flags to the messages specified by the message_set property. The format of the flags is specified by the IMAP RFCs.

Examples of possible flag values are server dependent, but they can include the following:

\Deleted Mark a message as deleted (for removal later by expunge_mailbox).
\Seen Mark a message as read.
\Answered Mark a message as answered.
\Flagged Mark a message as flagged.
\Draft Mark a message as being incomplete (under composition).

This method removes all messages marked with a 'Deleted' flag from the currently selected mailbox and closes the unselected mailbox.

Syntax

fn close_mailbox(&self) -> Result<(), IPWorksPGPError>

Remarks

This method permanently removes all messages that have a 'Deleted' flag that have been set from the current (selected) mailbox. It then closes (deselected) the mailbox.

config method (PIMAP Struct)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

fn config(&self, configuration_string : &str) ->  Result<String, IPWorksPGPError>

Remarks

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

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the struct, 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.

decrypt method (PIMAP Struct)

Decrypts the message.

Syntax

fn decrypt(&self) -> Result<(), IPWorksPGPError>

Remarks

This method decrypts the specified message.

The message will be decrypted using the keys specified in keys. Before decryption begins the struct will fire the on_recipient_info 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.

decrypt_and_verify_signature method (PIMAP Struct)

Decrypts and verifies the signature of the message.

Syntax

fn decrypt_and_verify_signature(&self) -> Result<(), IPWorksPGPError>

Remarks

This method attempts to both decrypt and verify the signature of the message. All of the properties affected by calling the decrypt and verify_signature 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 struct will perform the decryption without error.

The message will be decrypted using the keys specified in keys. Before decryption begins the struct will fire the on_recipient_info 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 signer_keys. Before verification begins the struct will fire the on_signature_info 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 signer_keys.

By default, if the signature is not valid the struct 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 on_verification_status 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.

delete_from_mailbox method (PIMAP Struct)

The method marks the messages specified by MessageSet as deleted.

Syntax

fn delete_from_mailbox(&self) -> Result<(), IPWorksPGPError>

Syntax

fn verify_signature(&self) -> Result<(), IPWorksPGPError>

Remarks

This method verifies the signature of the message.

The message will be verified using the keys specified in signer_keys. Before verification begins the struct will fire the on_signature_info 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 signer_keys.

By default, if the signature is not valid the struct 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 on_verification_status event should be checked to determine the result of the operation.

  pub fn set_on_error(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PIMAPErrorEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

The on_error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the struct fails with an error.

The error_code 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.

on_header event (PIMAP Struct)

This event is fired every time a header line comes in.

Syntax

// PIMAPHeaderEventArgs carries the PIMAP Header event's parameters.
pub struct PIMAPHeaderEventArgs {
  fn field(&self) -> &String
  fn value(&self) -> &String
}

// PIMAPHeaderEvent defines the signature of the PIMAP Header event's handler function.
pub trait PIMAPHeaderEvent {
  fn on_header(&self, sender : PIMAP, e : &mut PIMAPHeaderEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> PIMAP<'a> {
  pub fn on_header(&self) -> &'a dyn PIMAPHeaderEvent;
  pub fn set_on_header(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PIMAPHeaderEvent);
  ...
}

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).

on_idle_info event (PIMAP Struct)

This event fires whenever responses from the server are received while idling.

Syntax

// PIMAPIdleInfoEventArgs carries the PIMAP IdleInfo event's parameters.
pub struct PIMAPIdleInfoEventArgs {
  fn message(&self) -> &String
  fn cancel(&self) -> bool
  fn set_cancel(&self, value : bool)
}

// PIMAPIdleInfoEvent defines the signature of the PIMAP IdleInfo event's handler function.
pub trait PIMAPIdleInfoEvent {
  fn on_idle_info(&self, sender : PIMAP, e : &mut PIMAPIdleInfoEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> PIMAP<'a> {
  pub fn on_idle_info(&self) -> &'a dyn PIMAPIdleInfoEvent;
  pub fn set_on_idle_info(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PIMAPIdleInfoEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

This event fires each time a response is received from the server after calling start_idle. 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 stop_idle.

The following are possible values returned by the server:

+ idling
* 43 EXISTS
* 1 RECENT

on_key_passphrase event (PIMAP Struct)

Fired if the passphrase of current key is incorrect or empty.

Syntax

// PIMAPKeyPassphraseEventArgs carries the PIMAP KeyPassphrase event's parameters.
pub struct PIMAPKeyPassphraseEventArgs {
  fn user_id(&self) -> &String
  fn key_id(&self) -> &String
  fn fingerprint(&self) -> &String
  fn passphrase(&self) -> &String
  fn set_passphrase(&self, value : &str)
  fn set_passphrase_ref(&self, value : &String)
}

// PIMAPKeyPassphraseEvent defines the signature of the PIMAP KeyPassphrase event's handler function.
pub trait PIMAPKeyPassphraseEvent {
  fn on_key_passphrase(&self, sender : PIMAP, e : &mut PIMAPKeyPassphraseEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> PIMAP<'a> {
  pub fn on_key_passphrase(&self) -> &'a dyn PIMAPKeyPassphraseEvent;
  pub fn set_on_key_passphrase(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PIMAPKeyPassphraseEvent);
  ...
}

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 key_passphrase property before attempting the operation.

The passphrase is required when using the following methods in KeyMgr:

  • add_user_id
  • sign_user_id
  • change_expiration_date
  • change_passphrase

When using the OpenPGP struct, or an email-based struct, the following methods require a passphrase for the key:

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 its 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

on_launch_browser event (PIMAP Struct)

Fires before launching a browser with the authorization URL.

Syntax

// PIMAPLaunchBrowserEventArgs carries the PIMAP LaunchBrowser event's parameters.
pub struct PIMAPLaunchBrowserEventArgs {
  fn url(&self) -> &String
  fn set_url(&self, value : &str)
  fn set_url_ref(&self, value : &String)
  fn command(&self) -> &String
  fn set_command(&self, value : &str)
  fn set_command_ref(&self, value : &String)
}

// PIMAPLaunchBrowserEvent defines the signature of the PIMAP LaunchBrowser event's handler function.
pub trait PIMAPLaunchBrowserEvent {
  fn on_launch_browser(&self, sender : PIMAP, e : &mut PIMAPLaunchBrowserEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> PIMAP<'a> {
  pub fn on_launch_browser(&self) -> &'a dyn PIMAPLaunchBrowserEvent;
  pub fn set_on_launch_browser(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PIMAPLaunchBrowserEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

When the client_profile property is set to ocpApplication and get_authorization is called, the struct will fire this event with the command, which will be executed by the struct. The url parameter will be the authorization URL that the user will be directed to authenticate.

Within this event, you may override the current value of either command or url and provide your own value. If command is set to an empty string, the struct will not attempt to launch the browser and instead you will be responsible for directing the user to the authorization URL specified by the URL parameter. If command is not empty, the URL will be appended to the end.

In Windows, ShellExecute is used to execute command, which limits the verbs available for use in command to:

  • edit
  • explore
  • find
  • open
  • print

on_log event (PIMAP Struct)

Fired once for each log message.

Syntax

// PIMAPLogEventArgs carries the PIMAP Log event's parameters.

  pub fn set_on_log(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PIMAPLogEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

This event is fired once for each log message generated by the struct. The verbosity is controlled by the LogLevel setting.

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

0 (None) No events are logged.

2 (Verbose) Detailed data are logged.
3 (Debug) Debug data are logged.

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

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

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

message is the log entry.

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

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

Syntax

// PIMAPProgressEventArgs carries the PIMAP Progress event's parameters.
pub struct PIMAPProgressEventArgs {
  fn bytes_processed(&self) -> i64
  fn percent_processed(&self) -> i32
}

// PIMAPProgressEvent defines the signature of the PIMAP Progress event's handler function.
pub trait PIMAPProgressEvent {
  fn on_progress(&self, sender : PIMAP, e : &mut PIMAPProgressEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> PIMAP<'a> {
  pub fn on_progress(&self) -> &'a dyn PIMAPProgressEvent;
  pub fn set_on_progress(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PIMAPProgressEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

The PercentProcessed parameter indicates the current status of the operation.

The BytesProcessed parameter holds the total number of bytes processed so far.

on_recipient_info event (PIMAP Struct)

Fired for each recipient key of the encrypted message.

Syntax

// PIMAPRecipientInfoEventArgs carries the PIMAP RecipientInfo event's parameters.
pub struct PIMAPRecipientInfoEventArgs {
  fn key_id(&self) -> &String
  fn fingerprint(&self) -> &String
  fn public_key_algorithm(&self) -> &String
}

// PIMAPRecipientInfoEvent defines the signature of the PIMAP RecipientInfo event's handler function.
pub trait PIMAPRecipientInfoEvent {
  fn on_recipient_info(&self, sender : PIMAP, e : &mut PIMAPRecipientInfoEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> PIMAP<'a> {
  pub fn on_recipient_info(&self) -> &'a dyn PIMAPRecipientInfoEvent;
  pub fn set_on_recipient_info(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PIMAPRecipientInfoEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

This event fires when the decrypt or decrypt_and_verify_signature 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)

  fn signing_algorithm(&self) -> &String
  fn public_key_algorithm(&self) -> &String
}

// PIMAPSignatureInfoEvent defines the signature of the PIMAP SignatureInfo event's handler function.
pub trait PIMAPSignatureInfoEvent {
  fn on_signature_info(&self, sender : PIMAP, e : &mut PIMAPSignatureInfoEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> PIMAP<'a> {
  pub fn on_signature_info(&self) -> &'a dyn PIMAPSignatureInfoEvent;
  pub fn set_on_signature_info(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PIMAPSignatureInfoEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

This event fires when the verify_signature or decrypt_and_verify_signature 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
  • ML-DSA-65+Ed25519
  • ML-DSA-87+Ed448
  • ECDH (Subkeys only)
  • X25519 (Subkeys only)

on_ssl_server_authentication event (PIMAP Struct)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

// PIMAPSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs carries the PIMAP SSLServerAuthentication event's parameters.
pub struct PIMAPSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs {
  fn cert_encoded(&self) -> &[u8]
  fn cert_subject(&self) -> &String
  fn cert_issuer(&self) -> &String
  fn status(&self) -> &String
  fn accept(&self) -> bool
  fn set_accept(&self, value : bool)
}

// PIMAPSSLServerAuthenticationEvent defines the signature of the PIMAP SSLServerAuthentication event's handler function.
pub trait PIMAPSSLServerAuthenticationEvent {
  fn on_ssl_server_authentication(&self, sender : PIMAP, e : &mut PIMAPSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> PIMAP<'a> {
  pub fn on_ssl_server_authentication(&self) -> &'a dyn PIMAPSSLServerAuthenticationEvent;
  pub fn set_on_ssl_server_authentication(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PIMAPSSLServerAuthenticationEvent);
  ...
}

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.

on_ssl_status event (PIMAP Struct)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

// PIMAPSSLStatusEventArgs carries the PIMAP SSLStatus event's parameters.
pub struct PIMAPSSLStatusEventArgs {
  fn message(&self) -> &String
}

// PIMAPSSLStatusEvent defines the signature of the PIMAP SSLStatus event's handler function.

impl <'a> PIMAP<'a> {
  pub fn on_ssl_status(&self) -> &'a dyn PIMAPSSLStatusEvent;
  pub fn set_on_ssl_status(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PIMAPSSLStatusEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

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

on_start_transfer event (PIMAP Struct)

This event is fired when the message body or the part data start transferring.

Syntax

// PIMAPStartTransferEventArgs carries the PIMAP StartTransfer event's parameters.
pub struct PIMAPStartTransferEventArgs {
  fn direction(&self) -> i32
}

// PIMAPStartTransferEvent defines the signature of the PIMAP StartTransfer event's handler function.
pub trait PIMAPStartTransferEvent {
  fn on_start_transfer(&self, sender : PIMAP, e : &mut PIMAPStartTransferEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> PIMAP<'a> {
  pub fn on_start_transfer(&self) -> &'a dyn PIMAPStartTransferEvent;
  pub fn set_on_start_transfer(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PIMAPStartTransferEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

The on_start_transfer 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 on_transfer and on_end_transfer events.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

on_status event (PIMAP Struct)

Shows the progress of the operation.

Syntax

// PIMAPStatusEventArgs carries the PIMAP Status event's parameters.
pub struct PIMAPStatusEventArgs {
  fn message(&self) -> &String
}

// PIMAPStatusEvent defines the signature of the PIMAP Status event's handler function.
pub trait PIMAPStatusEvent {
  fn on_status(&self, sender : PIMAP, e : &mut PIMAPStatusEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> PIMAP<'a> {
  pub fn on_status(&self) -> &'a dyn PIMAPStatusEvent;
  pub fn set_on_status(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PIMAPStatusEvent);
  ...
}

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.

on_transfer event (PIMAP Struct)

This event is fired while the message is transferred from the MailServer .

Syntax

// PIMAPTransferEventArgs carries the PIMAP Transfer event's parameters.
pub struct PIMAPTransferEventArgs {
  fn direction(&self) -> i32
  fn bytes_transferred(&self) -> i64
  fn percent_done(&self) -> i32
  fn text(&self) -> &String
}

// PIMAPTransferEvent defines the signature of the PIMAP Transfer event's handler function.
pub trait PIMAPTransferEvent {
  fn on_transfer(&self, sender : PIMAP, e : &mut PIMAPTransferEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> PIMAP<'a> {
  pub fn on_transfer(&self) -> &'a dyn PIMAPTransferEvent;
  pub fn set_on_transfer(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PIMAPTransferEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

The on_transfer event is fired for every incoming line when receiving a message or part data from the mail_server

The text parameter contains the portion of the message or the part data being retrieved.

The bytes_transferred 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 on_transfer event is fired), bytes_transferred equals the value of the message_size property.

The on_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 local_file property and use the on_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.

on_verification_status event (PIMAP Struct)

Fired after verification of the signed message.

Syntax

// PIMAPVerificationStatusEventArgs carries the PIMAP VerificationStatus event's parameters.
pub struct PIMAPVerificationStatusEventArgs {
  fn key_id(&self) -> &String
  fn fingerprint(&self) -> &String
  fn status(&self) -> i32
}

// PIMAPVerificationStatusEvent defines the signature of the PIMAP VerificationStatus event's handler function.
pub trait PIMAPVerificationStatusEvent {
  fn on_verification_status(&self, sender : PIMAP, e : &mut PIMAPVerificationStatusEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> PIMAP<'a> {
  pub fn on_verification_status(&self) -> &'a dyn PIMAPVerificationStatusEvent;
  pub fn set_on_verification_status(&mut self, value : &'a dyn PIMAPVerificationStatusEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

This event fires when verify_signature or decrypt_and_verify_signature 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:

Config Settings (PIMAP Struct)

The struct 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 struct, access to these internal properties is provided through the config method.

PIMAP Config Settings

Comment:   The OpenPGP message comment.

OpenPGP messages may contain a comment. This setting holds the comment (if any) after calling decrypt, decrypt_and_verify_signature, or verify_signature.

LogLevel:   Specifies the level of detail that is logged.

This setting controls the level of detail that is logged through the on_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 decrypt, decrypt_and_verify_signature, or verify_signature. When set to True if an attachment is a valid OpenPGP message it will be decrypted and/or verified. If it is not a valid OpenPGP message it will be left as is. When set to False the attachments are not processed. The default value is True.

RequireValidSignature:   Specifies if an invalid signature is considered an error condition.

By default, if the signature is not valid the struct fails with an error. This setting may be set to False to disable this requirement. When False, the Status parameter of the on_verification_status event should be checked to determine the result of the operation. The default value is True.

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, sign_and_encrypt, verify_signature, and decrypt_and_verify_signature are not valid operations when using this option.

VerifyClearTextSignatureWithCache:   Whether the cleartext message is cached in memory when verifying a cleartext signature.

When verifying a cleartext signature, this configuration setting determines whether the cleartext message is cached in memory.

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 struct will be unable to verify OpenPGP v6 cleartext signatures. In this case, the struct will throw an exception when calling verify_signature or decrypt_and_verify_signature.

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 sign_and_encrypt. The default value is "IPWorks PGP 2026".

This setting will be populated after calling decrypt, verify_signature, or decrypt_and_verify_signature.

SIMAP Config Settings

RedownloadHeaders:   Whether or not to redownload the message headers when querying MessageEncrypted or MessageSigned.

When enabled (default), the struct will redownload the message headers whenever check_message_encrypted or check_message_signed is called.

IMAP Config Settings

AlwaysReturnUIDs:   Instructs the server to return UIDs even if not in UIDMode.

If uid_mode is set to False, the message_set contains session message Ids, and the response from the server also will contain session message Ids. In some cases, it is desirable that the server sends back UIDs. Set the AlwaysReturnUIDs to True, to instruct the server to do so.

The default value for this setting is False.

AppendToMailboxDateTime:   Specifies the date-time parameter used in the initial APPEND request.

When appending to a mailbox using the append_to_mailbox method, the IMAP RFC specifies a date-time parameter that can be used to set the internal date of the resulting message. This configuration setting can be used to specify the date-time parameter used in this case.

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.

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

When auth_mechanism is set to amSASLPlain, amSASLDigestMD5, or amXOAUTH2, you may use this 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.

AutoDecodeSubject:   Instructs the struct to automatically decode message subjects.

Subjects that have been Quoted-Printable or Base64 encoded are automatically decoded when this configuration setting is True (default). Only subjects in the format "=?iso-8859-1?Q?data?=" will be correctly decoded.

AutoDecodeText:   Whether to decode MessageText when AutoDecodeParts is True.

When auto_decode_parts is True, this setting controls whether message_text is also decoded. When AutoDecodeText is True (default), message_text is decoded. When set to False, message_text is not decoded. This setting is applicable only when auto_decode_parts is set to True.

IncludeHeaders:   Instructs the struct to include the headers in the LocalFile.

When set to true, the headers for the message being retrieved will be written to the LocalFile before the message body. In this manner, the whole content of a MIME-encoded message will be written to the file.

MaskSensitiveData:   Whether sensitive properties should be masked when logging.

By default, the on_pi_trail event will include the raw commands sent to the IMAP server, including sensitive values like passwords. To prevent passwords from appearing in plaintext when logging, set this option to True. The default value is True.

RetrieveAfterSearch:   Determines if messages matching the SearchCriteria are retrieved after calling SearchMailbox.

If set to False, retrieve_message_info will not be called for messages matching the SearchCriteria after calling search_mailbox. on_message_info will still fire, but the MessageId parameter will be the only parameter populated. The default value of this setting is True.

RetrieveTextAndHeaders:   Specifies whether the message body and headers are retrieved in a single request.

This setting specifies whether the retrieve_message_text method retrieves both the message headers and text, or just the message text. By default this value is false, and retrieve_message_text will retrieve only the message text from the server. When set to true, the struct will retrieve both the message text and headers in a single request from the server and populate both message_headers_string and message_text.

SendIDCommand:   Instructs struct to send the ID command if the server advertises support for it.

This configuration setting specifies whether the struct will use the IMAP4 Id extension defined in RFC 2971 and send the Id command to the server. When set to true, the struct 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 false, and this command will not be sent.

UTF7MailboxNames:   Specifies whether or not to automatically encode and decode UTF-7 mailbox names.

IMAP servers may represent some characters in a mailbox name in UTF-7 format. This setting determines whether or not the struct should automatically encode and decode these values. When set to False, no encoding or decoding will be performed by the struct. The default value is True.

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 struct will use timeout for establishing a connection and transmitting/receiving data.

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

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

FirewallHTTPVersion:   The HTTP version to be used when connecting through a tunneling proxy.

When FirewallType is set to a tunneling proxy, this setting dictates which HTTP version is used when connecting.

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 struct fails with an error.

NOTE: This setting is provided for use by structs 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 structs 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 structs 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 struct fails with an error.

NOTE: This setting is provided for use by structs 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 struct 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 local_host 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 struct initiate connections (or accept in the case of server structs) only through that interface.

If the struct is connected, the local_host 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 struct binds.

This configuration setting must be set before a connection is attempted. It instructs the struct 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 local_port after the connection is established.

local_port 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 on_data_in 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 on_data_in 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.example.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 struct will use IPv4 exclusively. When set to 1, the struct will use IPv6 exclusively. To instruct the struct 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
UseNTLMv2:   Whether to use NTLM V2.

When authenticating with NTLM, this setting specifies whether NTLM V2 is used. By default this value is True and NTLM V2 will be used. Set this to False to use NTLM V1.

SSL Config Settings

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

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

Enabling this configuration setting has no effect if ssl_provider 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 struct 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 struct is the same.

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

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

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw
... Intermediate Cert ...
eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w
F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
\r \n
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEFjCCAv6gAwIBAgIQetu1SMxpnENAnnOz1P+PtTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBp
... Root Cert ...
d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

SSLCheckCRL:   Whether to check the Certificate Revocation List for the server certificate.

This configuration setting specifies whether the struct will check the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) specified by the server certificate. If set to 1 or 2, the struct will first obtain the list of CRL URLs from the server certificate's CRL distribution points extension. The struct will then make HTTP requests to each CRL endpoint to check the validity of the server's certificate. If the certificate has been revoked or any other issues are found during validation the struct fails with an error.

When set to 0 (default), the CRL check will not be performed by the struct. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the CRL check, but it will continue without an error if the server's certificate does not support CRL. When set to 2, it will perform the CRL check and will throw an error if CRL is not supported.

This configuration setting is supported only in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is supported only on Windows operating systems.

SSLCheckOCSP:   Whether to use OCSP to check the status of the server certificate.

This configuration setting specifies whether the struct will use OCSP to check the validity of the server certificate. If set to 1 or 2, the struct will first obtain the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) URL from the server certificate's OCSP extension. The struct will then locate the issuing certificate and make an HTTP request to the OCSP endpoint to check the validity of the server's certificate. If the certificate has been revoked or any other issues are found during validation, the struct fails with an error.

When set to 0 (default), the struct will not perform an OCSP check. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the OCSP check, but it will continue without an error if the server's certificate does not support OCSP. When set to 2, it will perform the OCSP check and will throw an error if OCSP is not supported.

This configuration setting is supported only in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is supported only on Windows operating systems.

SSLCipherStrength:   The minimum cipher strength used for bulk encryption.

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

NOTE: This configuration setting contains the minimum cipher strength requested from the security library. The actual cipher strength used for the connection is shown by the on_ssl_status 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 ssl_authenticate_clients 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

... Root Cert ...
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 struct 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 ssl_provider 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 ssl_provider is set to Platform include the following:

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

  • TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
  • TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
  • TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

SSLEnabledCipherSuites is used together with SSLCipherStrength.

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

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

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

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

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

SSLEnabledProtocols: Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 Notes:

By default when TLS 1.3 is enabled, the struct will first try to use the platform TLS 1.3 implementation when the ssl_provider is set to Automatic for all editions. If the platform TLS 1.3 implementation is not available, the internal implementation will be used.

In editions that are designed to run on Windows, ssl_provider 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 struct when the ssl_provider is set to internal. To use SSL 2.0 or SSL 3.0, the platform security API must have the protocols enabled and ssl_provider 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 ssl_provider 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 on_ssl_server_authentication 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 on_ssl_server_authentication event.

If set to True, all certificates returned by the server will be present in the Encoded parameter of the on_ssl_server_authentication 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 struct 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 struct will only append, it will not overwrite previous values.

NOTE: This configuration setting is applicable only when ssl_provider 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

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

When specified the struct 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 struct fails with an error.

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

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

TLS12SupportedGroups:   The supported groups for ECC.

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

The default value is ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1.

When using TLS 1.2 and ssl_provider 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,mlkem_512,mlkem_768,mlkem_1024,x25519_mlkem_768,secp256r1_mlkem_768

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)
  • "mlkem_512" (default)
  • "mlkem_768" (default)
  • "mlkem_1024" (default)
  • "x25519_mlkem_768" (default)
  • "secp256r1_mlkem_768" (default)

Post-quantum algorithms (mlkem_512,mlkem_768,mlkem_1024,x25519_mlkem_768,secp256r1_mlkem_768) in our components rely on the operating system's underlying cryptographic primitives. The following platforms are currently supported:

  • Windows Server 2025
  • Windows 11 24H2
  • Windows 11 25H2

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 struct 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 struct is activated the OutBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

Base Config Settings

BuildInfo:   Information about the product's build.

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

CodePage:   The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.

The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).

LicenseInfo:   Information about the current license.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a struct 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.

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

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

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

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

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