SSHTunnel Class
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The SSHTunnel class can be used to tunnel data through a Secure Shell (SSH) server to a remote location.
Syntax
class ipworksssh.SSHTunnel
Remarks
The SSHTunnel class implements a daemon that accepts connections and tunnels the data from those connections over a Secure Shell (SSH) connection to a remote location.
First, set ssh_host to the server you wish to use to tunnel the data. ssh_user, ssh_password, and the ssh_cert* properties can be used to authenticate the tunneling connection.
Second, set ssh_forward_host to the hostname or IP address of the destination machine, and ssh_forward_port to the port to which you wish to send data. Finally, call start_listening. The class will listen for connections on the interface identified by local_host and local_port.
When a client attempts to connect to the class, the class will fire a on_connection_request event that can be used to accept or reject the connection. If the connection is accepted, the class will attempt to logon to the ssh_host and will tell the server to connect remotely to another machine. Once this process is complete, the tunnel will be established and data can be securely transmitted from end to end.
Example. Connecting Between Networks:
A client that exists in Network A wishes to connect to a resource that exists in Network B. Both networks are secured by a firewall, making it difficult to freely connect to resources within the other network. Network B, however, contains an SSH server that supports tunneling. An SSHTunnel class set up with Network A can be used to access any resource in Network B.
The ssh_host and ssh_port properties must be set to the hostname and port exposed by Network B's firewall. ssh_forward_host and ssh_forward_port are then set to the value of the resource within Network B to which the client in Network A wishes to connect. Any client in Network A can then connect to the SSHTunnel instance's local_host and local_port.
As clients within Network A connect to the SSHTunnel, the class will forward the connections, secured by SSH, through the network firewalls to the SSH server in Network B. The SSH server will then connect to the resource within Network B and forward all data received from the SSHTunnel instance to that resource. All data received from the resource will then be forwarded to the original client in Network A.
Dynamic Forwarding
Dynamic forwarding is a feature provided by SSH that leverages the SOCKS protocol. With dynamic forwarding, the SSHTunnel component acts as a SOCKS proxy, and all relevant traffic is relayed through the SSH connection to the destination defined by the client that made the request. The SSHTunnel component supports dynamic forwarding automatically when ssh_forward_host and ssh_forward_port are not specified (the forwarding host is determined dynamically).
The client making requests through SSHTunnel must be configured to use a SOCKS proxy, in which case the proxy port is the same as the local_port property. In IPWorks components, a SOCKS proxy can be enabled as follows:
// Enable the SOCKS proxy for IPWorks' HTTP component
http.Firewall.FirewallType = nsoftware.IPWorks.FirewallTypes.fwSOCKS5;
http.Firewall.Port = 1234; //The port set in the SSHTunnel LocalPort property
http.Firewall.Host = "localhost"; //The hostname or IP address where SSHTunnel is listening
Note: SSHTunnel can support either dynamic forwarding (ssh_forward_host and ssh_forward_port are not set) or standard forwarding (ssh_forward_host and ssh_forward_port are set). It cannot support both modes at the same time. As a result, it is expected that clients connecting to the SSHTunnel component are configured in a way that matches the configuration of the SSHTunnel component (dynamic or standard forwarding). For example, if SSHTunnel has the ssh_forward_host and ssh_forward_port properties set, then the client must not treat SSHTunnel as a SOCKS proxy. If the SSHTunnel does not have the aforementioned properties set, then the client must treat SSHTunnel as a SOCKS proxy.
Note: Server components are designed to process events as they occur. To ensure that events are processed in a timely manner, do_events should be called in a loop after the server is started.

Default Value
5
Remarks
This property contains the maximum number of pending connections maintained by the TCP/IP subsystem. This value reflects the SOMAXCONN option for the main listening socket. The default value for most systems is 5. You may set this property to a larger value if the server is expected to receive a large number of connections, and queuing them is desirable.
client_count Property
The number of records in the Client arrays.
Syntax
def get_client_count() -> int: ...
client_count = property(get_client_count, None)

- client_user_data
This property is read-only.
client_accept_data Property
This property indicates whether data reception is currently enabled.
Syntax
def get_client_accept_data(client_id: int) -> bool: ...
Default Value
TRUE
Remarks
This property indicates whether data reception is currently enabled. When False, data reception is disabled and the on_data_in event will not fire for the connection. Use the pause_data and process_data methods to pause and resume data reception.
The client_id parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the client_count property.
This property is read-only.

def get_client_eol(client_id: int) -> bytes: ... def set_client_eol(client_id: int, value: bytes) -> None: ...
Default Value
""
Remarks
The client_eol property is used to define boundaries in the input stream using the value of the property.
The client_eol property is especially useful with ASCII files. By setting it to CRLF ("\r\n") , the incoming ASCII text stream can be split into lines. In this case, one event is fired for each line received (as well as in packet boundaries). The CRLF ("\r\n") . bytes are discarded.
The client_eol property is a binary string. This means that it can be more than one byte long, and it can contain NULL bytes.
When reading the value of the property, if ConnectionId does not belong to a valid connection, then NULL will be returned, and the last_error property will contain a corresponding error message. If no error is encountered, then last_error will contain NULL.
The client_id parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the client_count property.
client_idle_timeout Property
This property contains the idle timeout for this connection.

client_local_address is important for multihomed hosts so that it can be used to find the particular network interface through which an individual connection is going.
The client_id parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the client_count property.
This property is read-only.
client_ready_to_send Property
This property indicates whether the class is ready to send data.
Syntax

0
Remarks
This property holds the current record length set by change_record_length. When this value is a positive number, the class will accumulate data until client_record_length is reached and only then will fire the on_data_in event with the data of length client_record_length. This allows data to be received as records of known length. This value can be changed at any time by calling change_record_length, including within the on_data_in event.
A value of 0 (default) means this setting is not used.
The client_id parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the client_count property.
This property is read-only.

Remarks
This property specifies a timeout for the class.
If the client_timeout property is set to 0, all operations return immediately, potentially failing with a WOULDBLOCK error if data cannot be sent immediately.
If client_timeout is set to a positive value, data is sent in a blocking manner and the class will wait for the operation to complete before returning control. The class will handle any potential WOULDBLOCK errors internally and automatically retry the operation for a maximum of client_timeout seconds.
The class 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 class 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 client_timeout property is 0 (asynchronous operation).
The client_id parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the client_count property.
client_user_data Property
The UserData property holds connection-specific user-specified data.
Syntax
def get_client_user_data(client_id: int) -> bytes: ... def set_client_user_data(client_id: int, value: bytes) -> None: ...
Default Value
""
Remarks
The client_user_data property holds connection-specific user-specified data.
User-specified data may be set or retrieved at any point while the connection is valid. This provides a simple way to associate arbitrary data with a specific connection.
The client_id parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the client_count property.
default_eol Property
This property includes a default end-of-line (EOL) value to be used by incoming connections.
Syntax
def get_default_eol() -> bytes: ... def set_default_eol(value: bytes) -> None: ...
default_eol = property(get_default_eol, set_default_eol)
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property contains a default end-of-line (EOL) value to be used by incoming connections. Once the class accepts and establishes an inbound connection, it will set that connection's EOL to the value in this property. By default, this value is empty (""), meaning that data will be fired as it is received.
default_single_line_mode Property
This property tells the class whether or not to treat new connections as line oriented.
Syntax
def get_default_single_line_mode() -> bool: ... def set_default_single_line_mode(value: bool) -> None: ...
default_single_line_mode = property(get_default_single_line_mode, set_default_single_line_mode)
Default Value
FALSE
Remarks
This property instructs the component whether or not to treat newly established connections as line-oriented protocols. If this value is True, newly accepted connections will read the incoming data stream as lines separated by a carriage return line feed (CRLF), carriage return (CR), or line feed (LF) and will ignore the end of lines (EOLs).
default_timeout Property
This property includes an initial timeout value to be used by incoming connections.
Syntax
def get_default_timeout() -> int: ... def set_default_timeout(value: int) -> None: ...
default_timeout = property(get_default_timeout, set_default_timeout)
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property is used by the class to set the operational timeout value of all inbound connections once they are established.
By default, the timeout is 0, meaning that all inbound connections will behave asynchronously.
firewall_auto_detect Property
Whether to automatically detect and use firewall system settings, if available.
Syntax
def get_firewall_auto_detect() -> bool: ... def set_firewall_auto_detect(value: bool) -> None: ...

firewall_host Property
The name or IP address of the firewall (optional).
Syntax
def get_firewall_host() -> str: ... def set_firewall_host(value: str) -> None: ...
firewall_host = property(get_firewall_host, set_firewall_host)
Default Value
""
Remarks
The name or IP address of the firewall (optional). If a firewall_host is given, the requested connections will be authenticated through the specified firewall when connecting.
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, the class fails with an error.
firewall_password Property
A password if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall.
Syntax
def get_firewall_password() -> str: ... def set_firewall_password(value: str) -> None: ...
firewall_password = property(get_firewall_password, set_firewall_password)
Default Value
""
Remarks
A password if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall. If firewall_host is specified, the firewall_user and firewall_password properties are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the class fails with an error.
firewall_port Property
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port for the firewall Host .
Syntax
def get_firewall_port() -> int: ... def set_firewall_port(value: int) -> None: ...
firewall_port = property(get_firewall_port, set_firewall_port)
Default Value
0
Remarks
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port for the firewall firewall_host. See the description of the firewall_host property for details.
Note: This property is set automatically when firewall_type is set to a valid value. See the description of the firewall_type property for details.
firewall_user Property
A username if authentication is to be used when connecting through a firewall.
Syntax
def get_firewall_user() -> str: ... def set_firewall_user(value: str) -> None: ...
firewall_user = property(get_firewall_user, set_firewall_user)
Default Value
""
Remarks
A username if authentication is to be used when connecting through a firewall. If firewall_host is specified, this property and the firewall_password property are used to connect and authenticate to the given Firewall. If the authentication fails, the class fails with an error.
keep_alive Property
When True, KEEPALIVE packets are enabled (for long connections).
Syntax
def get_keep_alive() -> bool: ... def set_keep_alive(value: bool) -> None: ...
keep_alive = property(get_keep_alive, set_keep_alive)
Default Value
FALSE
Remarks
This property enables the SO_KEEPALIVE option on the incoming connections. This option prevents long connections from timing out in case of inactivity.
Note: System Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack implementations are not required to support SO_KEEPALIVE.
This property is shared among incoming connections. When the property is set, the corresponding value is set for incoming connections as they are accepted. Existing connections are not modified.
linger Property
When set to True, connections are terminated gracefully.
Syntax
def get_linger() -> bool: ... def set_linger(value: bool) -> None: ...
linger = property(get_linger, set_linger)
Default Value
TRUE
Remarks
This property controls how a connection is closed. The default is True. In this case, the connection is closed only after all the data are sent. Setting it to False forces an abrupt (hard) disconnection. Any data that were in the sending queue may be lost.
The default behavior (which is also the default mode for stream sockets) might result in an indefinite delay in closing the connection. Although the class returns control immediately, the system might indefinitely hold system resources until all pending data are sent (even after your application closes). This means that valuable system resources might be wasted.
Setting this property to False forces an immediate disconnection. If you know that the other side has received all the data you have sent (e.g., by a client acknowledgment), then setting this property to False might be the appropriate course of action.
This property is shared among incoming connections. When the property is set, the corresponding value is set for incoming connections as they are accepted. Existing connections are not modified.
listening Property
This property indicates whether the class is listening for incoming connections on LocalPort.
Syntax
def get_listening() -> bool: ...
listening = property(get_listening, None)
Default Value
FALSE
Remarks
This property indicates whether the class is listening for connections on the port specified by the local_port property. Use the start_listening and stop_listening methods to control whether the class is listening.
This property is read-only.
local_host Property
The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.
Syntax
def get_local_host() -> str: ... def set_local_host(value: str) -> None: ...
local_host = property(get_local_host, set_local_host)
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 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.
local_port Property
The TCP port in the local host where the class binds.
Syntax
def get_local_port() -> int: ... def set_local_port(value: int) -> None: ...
local_port = property(get_local_port, set_local_port)
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property must be set before the class can start listening. If its value is 0, then the TCP/IP subsystem picks a port number at random. The port number can be found by checking the value of this property after the class is listening (i.e., after successfully assigning True to the listening property).
The service port is not shared among servers so two classs cannot be listening on the same port at the same time.
This property 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 property to 0 (default) enables the system to choose an open port at random. The chosen port will be returned by the local_port property after the connection is established.
local_port cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this property when a connection is active will generate an error.
This property is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port on the client side.
ssh_accept_server_host_key_effective_date Property

Default Value
2
Remarks
The Secure Shell (SSH) Authentication specification (RFC 4252) specifies multiple methods by which a user can be authenticated by an SSH server. When a call is made to ssh_logon, the class will connect to the SSH server and establish the security layer. After the connection has been secured, the client will send an authentication request to the ssh_host containing the ssh_user. The server will respond containing a list of methods by which that user may be authenticated.
The class will attempt to authenticate the user by one of those methods based on the value of ssh_auth_mode and other property values supplied by the user. Currently, the class supports the following authentication methods:
amNone (0) | No authentication will be performed. The current ssh_user value is ignored, and the connection will be logged as anonymous. |
amMultiFactor (1) | This allows the class to attempt a multistep authentication process. The class will send authentication data to the server based on the list of methods allowed for the current user and the authentication property values supplied. The class will continue to send authentication data until the server acknowledges authentication success. If the server rejects an authentication step, the class fails with an error. |
amPassword (2) | The class will use the values of ssh_user and ssh_password to authenticate the user. |
amPublicKey (3) | The class will use the values of ssh_user and the ssh_cert* properties to authenticate the user. the ssh_cert* properties must have a private key available for this authentication method to succeed. |
amKeyboardInteractive (4) | At the time of authentication, the class will fire the on_ssh_keyboard_interactive event containing instructions on how to complete the authentication step.
Note: amKeyboardInteractive is not supported in SSHTunnel. |
amGSSAPIWithMic (5) | This allows the class to attempt Kerberos authentication using the GSSAPI-WITH-MIC scheme. The client will try Kerberos authentication using the value of ssh_user (single sign-on), or if ssh_password is specified as well, it will try Kerberos authentication with alternate credentials. This is currently supported only on Windows, unless using the Java edition, which also provides support for Linux and macOS. |
amGSSAPIKeyex (6) | This allows the class to attempt Kerberos authentication using the GSSAPIKeyex scheme. The client will try Kerberos authentication using the value of ssh_user (single sign-on), or if ssh_password is specified as well, it will try Kerberos authentication with alternate credentials. This is currently supported only on Windows, unless using the Java edition, which also provides support for Linux and macOS. |
amCustom (99) | This allows the class caller to take over the authentication process completely. When amCustom is set, the class will fire the on_ssh_custom_auth event as necessary to complete the authentication process. |
Example 1. User/Password Authentication:
Control.SSHAuthMode = SftpSSHAuthModes.amPassword
Control.SSHUser = "username"
Control.SSHPassword = "password"

This list is used for both directions: client to server and server to client. When negotiating algorithms, each side sends a list of all algorithms it supports or allows. The algorithm chosen for each direction is the first algorithm to appear in the sender's list that the receiver supports. Therefore, it is important to list multiple algorithms in preferential order. If no algorithm can be agreed on, the class will raise an error and the connection will be aborted.
At least one supported algorithm must appear in this list. The following encryption algorithms are supported by the class:
aes256-ctr | 256-bit AES encryption in CTR mode. |
aes256-cbc | 256-bit AES encryption in CBC mode. |
aes192-ctr | 192-bit AES encryption in CTR mode. |
aes192-cbc | 192-bit AES encryption in CBC mode. |
aes128-ctr | 128-bit AES encryption in CTR mode. |
aes128-cbc | 128-bit AES encryption in CBC mode. |
3des-ctr | 192-bit (3-key) triple DES encryption in CTR mode. |
3des-cbc | 192-bit (3-key) triple DES encryption in CBC mode. |
cast128-cbc | CAST-128 encryption. |
blowfish-cbc | Blowfish encryption. |
arcfour | ARC4 encryption. |
arcfour128 | 128-bit ARC4 encryption. |
arcfour256 | 256-bit ARC4 encryption. |
aes256-gcm@openssh.com | 256-bit AES encryption in GCM mode. |
aes128-gcm@openssh.com | 128-bit AES encryption in GCM mode. |
chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com | ChaCha20 with Poly1305-AES encryption. |
ssh_forward_host Property
The address of the remote host. Domain names are resolved to IP addresses.
Syntax
def get_ssh_forward_host() -> str: ... def set_ssh_forward_host(value: str) -> None: ...
ssh_forward_host = property(get_ssh_forward_host, set_ssh_forward_host)
Default Value
""
Remarks
The ssh_forward_host property specifies the IP address (IP number in dotted internet format) or domain name of the remote host. It is set before a connection is attempted and cannot be changed once a connection is established.
If the ssh_forward_host property is set to a domain name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the ssh_forward_host 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.
ssh_forward_port Property
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port in the remote host.
Syntax
def get_ssh_forward_port() -> int: ... def set_ssh_forward_port(value: int) -> None: ...
ssh_forward_port = property(get_ssh_forward_port, set_ssh_forward_port)
Default Value
0
Remarks
The ssh_forward_port property specifies a service port on the remote host to connect to.
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.
ssh_host Property
The address of the Secure Shell (SSH) host.
Syntax
def get_ssh_host() -> str: ... def set_ssh_host(value: str) -> None: ...
ssh_host = property(get_ssh_host, set_ssh_host)
Default Value
""
Remarks
The ssh_host property specifies the IP address (IP number in dotted internet format) or domain name of the remote host. It is set before a connection is attempted and cannot be changed once a connection is established.
If the ssh_host property is set to a domain name, a DNS request is initiated, and upon successful termination of the request, the ssh_host property is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.
The ssh_host must be the same host that will be assumed for SSH as for the remote service being connected to.
ssh_password Property
The password for Secure Shell (SSH) password-based authentication.
Syntax
def get_ssh_password() -> str: ... def set_ssh_password(value: str) -> None: ...
ssh_password = property(get_ssh_password, set_ssh_password)
Default Value
""
Remarks
ssh_password specifies the password that is used to authenticate the client to the SSH server.
ssh_port Property
The port on the Secure Shell (SSH) server where the SSH service is running; by default, 22.
Syntax
def get_ssh_port() -> int: ... def set_ssh_port(value: int) -> None: ...
ssh_port = property(get_ssh_port, set_ssh_port)
Default Value
22
Remarks
The ssh_port specifies a service port on the SSH host to connect to.
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.
ssh_user Property
The username for Secure Shell (SSH) authentication.
Syntax
def get_ssh_user() -> str: ... def set_ssh_user(value: str) -> None: ...
ssh_user = property(get_ssh_user, set_ssh_user)
Default Value
""
Remarks
ssh_user specifies the username that is used to authenticate the client to the SSH server. This property is required.
Example 1. User/Password Authentication:
Control.SSHAuthMode = SftpSSHAuthModes.amPassword
Control.SSHUser = "username"
Control.SSHPassword = "password"
Control.SSHLogon("server", 22)
Example 2. Public Key Authentication:
Control.SSHAuthMode = SftpSSHAuthModes.amPublicKey
Control.SSHUser = "username"
Control.SSHCertStoreType = SSHCertStoreTypes.cstPFXFile;
Control.SSHCertStore = "cert.pfx";
Control.SSHCertStorePassword = "certpassword";
Control.SSHCertSubject = "*";
Control.SSHLogon("server", 22)
config Method
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
def config(configuration_string: str) -> str: ...
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.
connect Method
Connects to the Secure Shell (SSH) host without logging in.
Syntax
def connect() -> None: ...
Remarks
This method establishes a connection with the ssh_host but does not log in. In most cases, it is recommended to use the start_listening method that will both establish a connection and log in to the server.
This method may be useful in cases in which it is desirable to separate the connection and logon operations, for instance, when confirming a host is available by first creating the connection.
decode_packet Method
Decodes a hex-encoded Secure Shell (SSH) packet.
Syntax
def decode_packet(encoded_packet: str) -> bytes: ...
Remarks
This method is used to decode an SSH packet created by encode_packet.
Note: This method is applicable only for reading and creating Secure Shell (SSH) packets for use within the on_ssh_custom_auth event.
disconnect Method
This method disconnects the specified client.
Syntax
def disconnect(connection_id: int) -> None: ...
Remarks
This method immediately disconnects from the server without first logging off.
In most cases, the stop_listening method should be used to log off and disconnect from the server. Call the disconnect method in cases in which it is desirable to immediately disconnect without first logging off.
Calling this method will disconnect the client specified by the ConnectionId parameter.
do_events Method
This method processes events from the internal message queue.
Syntax
def do_events() -> None: ...
Remarks
When do_events is called, the class processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.
encode_packet Method
Hex encodes a Secure Shell (SSH) packet.
Syntax
def encode_packet(packet: bytes) -> str: ...
Remarks
This method is used to encode a raw SSH packet created by set_ssh_param.
Note: This method is applicable only for reading and creating Secure Shell (SSH) packets for use within the on_ssh_custom_auth event.
get_ssh_param Method
Reads a field from a Secure Shell (SSH) packet's payload.
Syntax
def get_ssh_param(payload: bytes, field: str) -> str: ...
Remarks
This method is used to read the value of a particular field from an SSH packet's payload. Payload should contain the full payload of a packet received by an event such as on_ssh_channel_request. Field is the name of a field to be read out of the packet.
The following is a list of the names of well-known channel request field names and their encodings:
ChannelId (int32) | The Id of the channel that received the packet. |
RequestType (string) | The type of channel requested. |
WantsReply (boolean) | Whether or not the client wants a reply to the request. |
The remaining fields that are available in the payload are dependent on the value of RequestType.
pty-req
Pty-req is a request to open a pseudo terminal on the specified channel. The following fields are available:
TerminalType (string) | The type of terminal being requested (e.g., "vt100"). |
TerminalWidthCharacters (int32) | The width, in characters, of the terminal to be opened. |
TerminalHeightRows (int32) | The height, in rows, of the terminal to be opened. |
TerminalWidthPixels (int32) | The width, in pixels, of the terminal to be opened. |
TerminalHeightPixels (int32) | The height, in pixels, of the terminal to be opened. |
TerminalModes (string) | A list of op-val (int32-byte) encoded modes to be used by the terminal. |
x11-req
X11-req is a request to forward x11 sessions over a channel. The following fields are available:
SingleConnection (boolean) | Disallows more than one connection to be forwarded by the channel. |
X11AuthProtocol (string) | The authentication protocol to be used (e.g., "MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1"). |
X11AuthCookie (string) | A hexadecimal-encoded cookie to be used for authentication. |
X11ScreenNumber (int32) | The x11 screen number to be used. |
env
Env is a request to set an environment variable to be passed into a shell that may be started later. The following fields are available:
VariableName (string) | The name of the variable to be set. |
VariableValue (string) | The value of the variable to be set. |
exec
Exec is a request to execute a command on the channel using the authenticated user's shell. The following field is available:
Command (string) | The command to be executed. |
subsystem
Subsystem is a request to start a subsystem on the specified channel. The following field is available:
Subsystem (string) | The name of the subsystem to be started (e.g., "sftp"). |
xon-xoff
Xon-xoff instructs the server to allow or disallow control-S/control-Q style flow control. The following field is available:
ClientCanDo (boolean) | Whether or not the server should enable flow control. |
signal
Sends a signal to the remote process/service. The following field is available:
SignalName (string) | The name of the signal to be sent. |
If the packet type is not well known, Field should start with the special character "%" and contain a comma-separated list of field types as defined in set_ssh_param. For example, reading out the X11AuthProtocol of an x11-req payload, you can use "%s,f".
Note: The return value is a string encoded the same way as the FieldValue param in set_ssh_param.
Note: This method is applicable only for reading and creating Secure Shell (SSH) packets for use within the on_ssh_custom_auth event.
get_ssh_param_bytes Method
Reads a field from a Secure Shell (SSH) packet's payload.
Syntax
def get_ssh_param_bytes(payload: bytes, field: str) -> bytes: ...
Remarks
This method is the same as calling get_ssh_param, but it returns raw bytes instead of strings.
Note: This method is applicable only for reading and creating Secure Shell (SSH) packets for use within the on_ssh_custom_auth event.
reset Method
This method will reset the class.
Syntax
def reset() -> None: ...
Remarks
This method will reset the class's properties to their default values.
set_ssh_param Method
Writes a field to the end of a payload.
Syntax
def set_ssh_param(payload: bytes, field_type: str, field_value: str) -> bytes: ...
Remarks
This method is used to build the payload portion of a Secure Shell (SSH) packet to be sent later by a call to send_ssh_packet. Payload should contain the result of a previous call to set_ssh_param. FieldType is a string defining the type of field to be written to the packet. FieldValue should be the string representation of the field to be written.
The following is a list of supported field types and a description of how FieldValue should be encoded:
s | A plaintext string containing the default system encoding of the data. |
sb | A string containing the hex-encoded data (e.g., "A1B23C") |
m | A variable-length large integer, encoded as a textual representation of the value (e.g., "1234"). |
i | A 32-bit integer, encoded as a textual representation of the value (e.g., "1234"). |
l | A 64-bit integer, encoded as a textual representation of the value (e.g., "1234"). |
b | A single byte, encoded as a textual representation of the value (e.g., "123"). |
f | A boolean flag, encoded as a textual representation of the value (e.g., 'True' or 'False') |
Note: Integer values may be hexadecimal encoded by prefixing "0x" to the beginning of the string; otherwise, the value is assumed to be Base10.
Note: This method is applicable only for reading and creating Secure Shell (SSH) packets for use within the on_ssh_custom_auth event.
shutdown Method
This method shuts down the server.
Syntax
def shutdown() -> None: ...
Remarks
This method shuts down the server. Calling this method is equivalent to calling stop_listening and then breaking every client connection by calling disconnect.
start_listening Method
This method starts listening for incoming connections.
Syntax
def start_listening() -> None: ...
Remarks
This method begins listening for incoming connections on the port specified by local_port. Once listening, events will fire as new clients connect and data are transferred.
To stop listening for new connections, call stop_listening. To stop listening for new connections and to disconnect all existing clients, call shutdown.
stop_listening Method
This method stops listening for new connections.
Syntax
def stop_listening() -> None: ...
Remarks
This method stops listening for new connections. After being called, any new connection attempts will be rejected. Calling this method does not disconnect existing connections.
To stop listening and to disconnect all existing clients, call shutdown instead.
on_connected Event
This event is fired immediately after a connection completes (or fails).
Syntax
class SSHTunnelConnectedEventParams(object): @property def connection_id() -> int: ... @property def status_code() -> int: ... @property def description() -> str: ... # In class SSHTunnel: @property def on_connected() -> Callable[[SSHTunnelConnectedEventParams], None]: ... @on_connected.setter def on_connected(event_hook: Callable[[SSHTunnelConnectedEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
If the connection is made normally, StatusCode is 0, and Description is "OK".
If the connection fails, StatusCode has the error code returned by the system. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the system error.
Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.
on_connection_request Event
This event is fired when a request for connection comes from a remote host.
Syntax
class SSHTunnelConnectionRequestEventParams(object): @property def address() -> str: ... @property def port() -> int: ... @property def accept() -> bool: ... @accept.setter def accept(value) -> None: ... # In class SSHTunnel: @property def on_connection_request() -> Callable[[SSHTunnelConnectionRequestEventParams], None]: ... @on_connection_request.setter def on_connection_request(event_hook: Callable[[SSHTunnelConnectionRequestEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
This event indicates an incoming connection. The connection is accepted by default. Address and Port will contain information about the remote host requesting the inbound connection. If you want to refuse it, you can set the Accept parameter to False.
on_data_in Event
This event is fired when data come in.
Syntax
class SSHTunnelDataInEventParams(object): @property def connection_id() -> int: ... @property def text() -> bytes: ... @property def eol() -> bool: ... # In class SSHTunnel: @property def on_data_in() -> Callable[[SSHTunnelDataInEventParams], None]: ... @on_data_in.setter def on_data_in(event_hook: Callable[[SSHTunnelDataInEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
Trapping the on_data_in event is your only chance to get the data coming from the other end of the connection specified by ConnectionId. The incoming data are provided through the Text parameter.
EOL indicates whether or not the eol string was found at the end of Text. If the eol string was found, then EOL is True.
If Text is part of the data portion of length larger than either default_max_line_length or with no eol strings in it, then EOL is False. Please note that this means that one or more on_data_in events with EOL set to False can be received during a connection.
If the eol property is "" (empty string), then EOL can be disregarded (it is always True).
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_disconnected Event
Fired when a connection is closed.
Syntax
class SSHTunnelDisconnectedEventParams(object): @property def connection_id() -> int: ... @property def status_code() -> int: ... @property def description() -> str: ... # In class SSHTunnel: @property def on_disconnected() -> Callable[[SSHTunnelDisconnectedEventParams], None]: ... @on_disconnected.setter def on_disconnected(event_hook: Callable[[SSHTunnelDisconnectedEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
If the connection is broken normally, StatusCode is 0, and Description is "OK".
If the connection is broken for any other reason, StatusCode has the error code returned by the system. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the system error.
Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.
Note: When the class is disconnected from the Secure Shell (SSH) server for any reason the ConnectionId parameter will be -1.
on_error Event
Fired when errors occur during data delivery.
Syntax
class SSHTunnelErrorEventParams(object): @property def connection_id() -> int: ... @property def error_code() -> int: ... @property def description() -> str: ... # In class SSHTunnel: @property def on_error() -> Callable[[SSHTunnelErrorEventParams], None]: ... @on_error.setter def on_error(event_hook: Callable[[SSHTunnelErrorEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
The on_error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class fails with an error.
ConnectionId contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.
ErrorCode contains an error code and Description 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_log Event
Fired once for each log message.
Syntax
class SSHTunnelLogEventParams(object): @property def log_level() -> int: ... @property def message() -> str: ... @property def log_type() -> str: ... # In class SSHTunnel: @property def on_log() -> Callable[[SSHTunnelLogEventParams], None]: ... @on_log.setter def on_log(event_hook: Callable[[SSHTunnelLogEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
Fired once for each log message generated by the class. The verbosity is controlled by the LogLevel setting.
LogLevel indicates the detail level of the message. Possible values are as follows:
0 (None) | No messages are logged. |
1 (Info - Default) | Informational events such as Secure Shell (SSH) handshake messages are logged. |
2 (Verbose) | Detailed data such as individual packet information are logged. |
3 (Debug) | Debug data including all relevant sent and received bytes are logged. |
Message is the log message.
LogType is reserved for future use.
on_reconnect_attempt Event
Fired when attempting to reconnect.
Syntax
class SSHTunnelReconnectAttemptEventParams(object): @property def host() -> str: ... @property def port() -> int: ... @property def retry_count() -> int: ... @property def retries_remaining() -> int: ... @property def max_retry_count() -> int: ... @property def retry_interval() -> int: ... @property def retry_type() -> int: ... @property def remote_listening_port() -> int: ... @property def cancel() -> bool: ... @cancel.setter def cancel(value) -> None: ... # In class SSHTunnel: @property def on_reconnect_attempt() -> Callable[[SSHTunnelReconnectAttemptEventParams], None]: ... @on_reconnect_attempt.setter def on_reconnect_attempt(event_hook: Callable[[SSHTunnelReconnectAttemptEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
This event fires both when attempting to reconnect to the ssh_host and when reestablishing a Secure Shell (SSH) tunnel.
This is applicable only when AutoReconnect is enabled. To determine which type of connection is being established check the RetryType parameter.
The following table provides details about the parameters:
Host | The SSH host to which the connection is attempted. |
Port | The port on the SSH host to which the connection is attempted. |
RetryCount | The current retry attempt. For instance, this may be attempt number 2 out of 5, then RetryCount will hold the value 2. |
RetriesRemaining | The number of retries remaining after this attempt. This number does not include the current attempt. If MaxRetryCount is set to unlimited, this will return -1. |
MaxRetryCount | The maximum number of retries as specified in MaxRetryCount. |
RetryInterval | The interval (in seconds) between retry attempts as specified in RetryInterval. |
RetryType | The type of connection being retried. Possible values are as follows:
|
RemoteListeningPort | The port on the SSH host that the reverse tunnel will use. This is applicable only when RetryType is 1. |
Cancel | Maybe set within this event to cancel the retry attempts. If set to True, no further retry attempts will be executed. |
on_ssh_custom_auth Event
Fired when the class is doing a custom authentication.
Syntax
class SSHTunnelSSHCustomAuthEventParams(object): @property def packet() -> str: ... @packet.setter def packet(value) -> None: ... # In class SSHTunnel: @property def on_ssh_custom_auth() -> Callable[[SSHTunnelSSHCustomAuthEventParams], None]: ... @on_ssh_custom_auth.setter def on_ssh_custom_auth(event_hook: Callable[[SSHTunnelSSHCustomAuthEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
on_ssh_custom_auth is fired during the user authentication stage of the Secure Shell (SSH) logon process if ssh_auth_mode is set to amCustom. Packet contains the last raw SSH packet sent by the server, in HEX-encoded format.
The client should create a new raw SSH packet to send to the server and set Packet to the HEX-encoded representation of the packet to send.
In all cases, Packet will start with the message type field.
To read the incoming packet, call decode_packet and then use the get_ssh_param and get_ssh_param_bytes methods. To create a packet, use the set_ssh_param method and then call encode_packet to obtain a HEX-encoded value and assign this to the Packet parameter.
on_ssh_keyboard_interactive Event
Fired when the class receives a request for user input from the server.
Syntax
class SSHTunnelSSHKeyboardInteractiveEventParams(object): @property def name() -> str: ... @property def instructions() -> str: ... @property def prompt() -> str: ... @property def response() -> str: ... @response.setter def response(value) -> None: ... @property def echo_response() -> bool: ... # In class SSHTunnel: @property def on_ssh_keyboard_interactive() -> Callable[[SSHTunnelSSHKeyboardInteractiveEventParams], None]: ... @on_ssh_keyboard_interactive.setter def on_ssh_keyboard_interactive(event_hook: Callable[[SSHTunnelSSHKeyboardInteractiveEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
on_ssh_keyboard_interactive is fired during the user authentication stage of the Secure Shell (SSH) logon process. During authentication, the class will request a list of available authentication methods for the ssh_user. For example, if the ssh_host responds with "keyboard-interactive", the class will fire this event to allow the client application to set the password.
During authentication, the SSH server may respond with a request for the user's authentication information. Name is a server-provided value associated with the authentication method such as "CRYPTOCard Authentication". Instructions will contain specific instructions, also supplied by the server, for how the user should respond.
Along with these values, the server will also send at least one input Prompt to be displayed to and filled out by the user. Response should be set to the user's input, and will be sent back in the user authentication information response. EchoResponse is a server recommendation for whether or not the user's response should be echoed back during input.
Note: The server may send several prompts in a single packet. The class will fire the on_ssh_keyboard_interactive event once for each prompt.
on_ssh_server_authentication Event
Fired after the server presents its public key to the client.
Syntax
class SSHTunnelSSHServerAuthenticationEventParams(object): @property def host_key() -> bytes: ... @property def fingerprint() -> str: ... @property def key_algorithm() -> str: ... @property def cert_subject() -> str: ... @property def cert_issuer() -> str: ... @property def status() -> str: ... @property def accept() -> bool: ... @accept.setter def accept(value) -> None: ... # In class SSHTunnel: @property def on_ssh_server_authentication() -> Callable[[SSHTunnelSSHServerAuthenticationEventParams], None]: ... @on_ssh_server_authentication.setter def on_ssh_server_authentication(event_hook: Callable[[SSHTunnelSSHServerAuthenticationEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
This event is fired when the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. If the public key is known to be a valid key for the Secure Shell (SSH) server, Accept should be set to True within the event. Otherwise, the server will not be authenticated and the connection will be broken.
Accept will be True only if either HostKey or Fingerprint is identical to the value of ssh_accept_server_host_key.
Accept may be set to True manually to accept the server host key.
Note: SSH's security inherently relies on client verification of the host key. Ignoring the host key and always setting Accept to True is strongly discouraged, and could cause potentially serious security vulnerabilities in your application. It is recommended that clients maintain a list of known keys for each server and check HostKey against this list each time a connection is attempted.
Host Key contains the full binary text of the key, in the same format used internally by SSH.
Fingerprint holds the SHA-256 hash of HostKey in the hex-encoded form: 0a:1b:2c:3d. To configure the hash algorithm used to calculate this value, see SSHFingerprintHashAlgorithm.
KeyAlgorithm identifies the host key algorithm. The following values are supported:
- ssh-rsa
- ssh-dss
- rsa-sha2-256
- rsa-sha2-512
- x509v3-sign-rsa
- x509v3-sign-dss
- ecdsa-sha2-nistp256
- ecdsa-sha2-nistp384
- ecdsa-sha2-nistp521
CertSubject is the subject of the certificate. This is applicable only when KeyAlgorithm is "x509v3-sign-rsa" or "x509v3-sign-dss".
CertIssuer is the issuer of the certificate. This is applicable only when KeyAlgorithm is "x509v3-sign-rsa" or "x509v3-sign-dss".
Status is reserved for future use.
on_ssh_status Event
Fired to track the progress of the secure connection.
Syntax
class SSHTunnelSSHStatusEventParams(object): @property def message() -> str: ... # In class SSHTunnel: @property def on_ssh_status() -> Callable[[SSHTunnelSSHStatusEventParams], None]: ... @on_ssh_status.setter def on_ssh_status(event_hook: Callable[[SSHTunnelSSHStatusEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. Used to track the progress of the connection.
SSHTunnel Config Settings
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.SSHTunnel Config Settings
Value | Description |
0 (None) | Do not automatically reconnect. |
1 (Default) | Reconnect if an existing connection is broken. |
2 (Always) | Retry the initial logon as well as recover an existing connection. |
See MaxRetryCount and RetryInterval for additional related settings.
Example:
component.LocalPort = 777;
component.SSHHost = "remotehost";
component.SSHUser = "sshuser";
component.SSHPassword = "pass";
component.Config("SSHForwardSocketPath=/path/to/unix/test.sock");
component.StartListening();
SSHClient Config Settings
If MaxChannelDataLength is greater than 0 and ChannelDataEOL is a nonempty string, the class will internally buffer data waiting to fire on_ssh_channel_data until either MaxChannelDataLength is reached or ChannelDataEOL is found, whichever comes first. Query ChannelDataEOLFound to know which condition was met. The buffer is reset any time on_ssh_channel_data fires.
ChannelDataEOL and MaxChannelDataLength must be set together or unexpected behavior could occur.
This configuration setting is valid only when queried inside on_ssh_channel_data, MaxChannelDataLength > 0, and ChannelDataEOL is nonempty.
Most SSH servers expect the SSH version string to have the expected format "SSH-protocol version-software version". See above for an example.
Value | Description |
0 (Disabled - default) | No communication with Pageant is attempted. |
1 (Enabled) | Pageant authentication is used if available. If Pageant is not running, or does not contain the expected key, no error is thrown. |
2 (Required) | Only Pageant authentication is used. If Pageant is not running, or does not contain the expected key, an error is thrown. |
Example 1. Enabling Pageant:
component.Config("EnablePageantAuth=1");
component.SSHUser = "sshuser";
component.SSHLogon("localhost", 22);
Note: This functionality is available only on Windows.
Note: Even if the client asks for delegation, the server/KDC might not grant it, and authentication will still succeed.
Example. Setting the Threshold to 500 MB:
SSHComponent.Config("KeyRenegotiationThreshold=524288000")
0 (None) | No messages are logged. |
1 (Info - Default) | Informational events such as Secure Shell (SSH) handshake messages are logged. |
2 (Verbose) | Detailed data such as individual packet information are logged. |
3 (Debug) | Debug data including all relevant sent and received bytes are logged. |
If MaxChannelDataLength is greater than 0 and ChannelDataEOL is a nonempty string, the class will internally buffer data waiting to fire on_ssh_channel_data until either MaxChannelDataLength is reached or ChannelDataEOL is found, whichever comes first. Query ChannelDataEOLFound to know which condition was met. The buffer is reset any time on_ssh_channel_data fires.
ChannelDataEOL and MaxChannelDataLength must be set together or unexpected behavior could occur.
Note: This value may be changed during the connection, but the window size can only be increased, not decreased.
component.Config("NegotiatedStrictKex")
This provides an easy way to automatically reply to prompts with the password if one is presented by the server. The password will be autofilled in the Response parameter of the on_ssh_keyboard_interactive event in the case of a match.
The following special characters are supported for pattern matching:
? | Any single character. |
* | Any characters or no characters (e.g., C*t matches Cat, Cot, Coast, Ct). |
[,-] | A range of characters (e.g., [a-z], [a], [0-9], [0-9,a-d,f,r-z]). |
\ | The slash is ignored and exact matching is performed on the next character. |
If these characters need to be used as a literal in a pattern, then they must be escaped by surrounding them with brackets []. Note: "]" and "-" do not need to be escaped. See below for the escape sequences:
Character | Escape Sequence |
? | [?] |
* | [*] |
[ | [[] |
\ | [\] |
For example, to match the value [Something].txt, specify the pattern [[]Something].txt.
The default value is 0, meaning this setting is not used.
component.Config("SignedSSHCert=ssh-rsa-cert-v01@openssh.com AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAAB...");
The algorithm such as ssh-rsa-cert-v01@openssh.com in the previous string is used as part of the authentication process. To use a different algorithm, simply change this value. For instance, all of the following are acceptable with the same signed public key:
- ssh-rsa-cert-v01@openssh.com AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAAB...
- rsa-sha2-256-cert-v01@openssh.com AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAAB...
- rsa-sha2-512-cert-v01@openssh.com AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAAB...
component.Config("SSHAcceptServerCAKey=ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQAB...");
SSHClient.Config("SSHAcceptServerHostKeyFingerprint=0a:1b:2c:3d");
If the server's fingerprint matches one of the values supplied, the class will accept the host key.
- MD5
- SHA1
- SHA256 (default)
The default value is 0, meaning no keep alives will be sent.
Note: The SSHReverseTunnel class uses a default value of 30.

- umac-128@openssh.com
- umac-128-etm@openssh.com
The setting should be a comma-separated list of algorithms. At runtime, the class will evaluate the specified algorithms, and if the algorithm is applicable to the certificate specified in ssh_cert, it will be used. If the algorithm is not applicable, the class will evaluate the next algorithm. Possible values are as follows:
- ssh-rsa
- rsa-sha2-256
- rsa-sha2-512
- ssh-dss
- ecdsa-sha2-nistp256
- ecdsa-sha2-nistp384
- ecdsa-sha2-nistp521
- ssh-ed25519
- x509v3-sign-rsa
- x509v3-sign-dss
The default value in Windows is ssh-rsa,rsa-sha2-256,rsa-sha2-512,ssh-dss,ecdsa-sha2-nistp256,ecdsa-sha2-nistp384,ecdsa-sha2-nistp521,ssh-ed25519.
rsa-sha2-256 and rsa-sha2-512 notes
The class will query the server for supported algorithms when connecting. If the server indicates support for rsa-sha2-256 or rsa-sha2-512 and the algorithm is present in the list defined by this setting (as in the default value), that algorithm will be used instead of ssh-rsa even when ssh-rsa appears first in the list.
For the rsa-sha2-256 and rsa-sha2-512 algorithms to be automatically preferred, the server must support the ext-info-c mechanism. In practice, older servers do not support this, and in that case, ssh-rsa will be used because it appears first in the list. Newer servers do support this mechanism, and in that case, rsa-sha2-256 or rsa-sha2-512 will be used even though it appears after ssh-rsa.
This behavior has been carefully designed to provide maximum compatibility while automatically using more secure algorithms when connecting to servers that support them.
*SSH-1.99-*,*SSH-2.0-*,*SSH-2.99-*
Because both client and server must implement strict key exchange to effectively mitigate the Terrapin attack, the class provides options to further control the behavior in different scenarios. Possible values for this setting are as follows:
0 | Disabled. Strict key exchange is not supported in the class. |
1 (default) | Enabled, but not enforced. This setting enables strict key exchange, but if the remote host does not support strict key exchange the connection is still allowed to continue. |
2 | Enabled, but will reject affected algorithms if the remote host does not support strict key exchange. If the remote host supports strict key exchange, all algorithms may be used. If the remote host does not support strict key exchange, the connection will continue only if the selected encryption and message authentication code (MAC) algorithms are not affected by the Terrapin attack. |
3 | Required. If the remote host does not support strict key exchange, the connection will fail. |
When True (default), the class will wait for a response to the channel close message until the responses have been received, the server closes the connection, or timeout seconds is reached.
When False, the class will still send the channel close messages, but it will not wait for a response and will proceed to close the connection.
When set to True, the class will initiate the disconnection sequence by sending SSH_MSG_DISCONNECT, but it will not close the connection and instead will wait for the server to close the connection. Setting this to True may be beneficial in circumstances in which many connections are being established, to avoid port exhaustion when sockets are in a TIME_WAIT state. Allowing the server to close the connection avoids the TIME_WAIT state of socket on the client machine.
When set to False (default), the client will close the connection. It is recommended to use this value unless there is a specific need to change it.
TCPClient Config Settings
If the FirewallHost setting is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the FirewallHost setting is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.
Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

Note: This value is not applicable in macOS.
In the case that Linger is True (default), two scenarios determine how long the connection will linger. In the first, if LingerTime is 0 (default), the system will attempt to send pending data for a connection until the default IP timeout expires.
In the second scenario, if LingerTime is a positive value, the system will attempt to send pending data until the specified LingerTime is reached. If this attempt fails, then the system will reset the connection.
The default behavior (which is also the default mode for stream sockets) might result in a long delay in closing the connection. Although the 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.
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 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).
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.
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.

Note: This value is not applicable in Java.
By default, this configuration setting is set to False.

Socket Config Settings
Note: This option is not valid for User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the InBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.
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.
TCPServer Config Settings
When a client connects, the client's address is checked against the list defined here. If there is no match, the on_connection_request event fires with an Accept value set to False. If no action is taken within the on_connection_request event, the client will be disconnected.
When a client connects, the client's address is checked against the list defined here. If there is a match, the on_connection_request event fires with an Accept value set to False. If no action is taken within the on_connection_request event, the client will not be connected.
Connection5UID = obj.config("ConnectionUID[5]")
Note: This is applicable only to incoming SSL connections. This should be set only if there is a specific reason to do so.
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 thing will happen if you attempt to make it too large or too small.
InBufferSize is shared among incoming connections. When the property is set, the corresponding value is set for incoming connections as they are accepted. Existing connections are not modified.
Note: This value is not applicable in macOS.
Note: This configuration setting is available only in the Unix platform, and it is not supported in macOS or FreeBSD.
Note: Unix/Linux operating systems limit the number of simultaneous connections to 1024.
The default value is 50 (milliseconds).
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 thing will happen if you attempt to make it too large or too small.
OutBufferSize is shared among incoming connections. When the property is set, the corresponding value is set for incoming connections as they are accepted. Existing connections are not modified.
By default, this configuration setting is set to False.
Nothing else is required to begin accepting IOCP connections. One major benefit to using this model is that there will be no thread blocked waiting for a request to complete. The system notifies the process through an Asynchronous Procedure Call (APC) once the device driver finishes servicing the I/O request. IOCP allows a single I/O worker thread handle multiple clients' input/output "fairly".
Note: When set to True, this setting will automatically set UseWindowsMessages to False.
0 | IPv4 Only |
1 | IPv6 Only |
2 | IPv6 and IPv4 |
Nothing else is required to begin accepting connections using the Windows message queue. In high-traffic environments, messages will be discarded if the queue is full. Additionally, because a single window procedure will service all events on thousands of sockets, the Windows message queue is not scalable from a performance perspective.
If this setting is set to False, the class will instead use the Winsock select model instead.

FIPS mode can be enabled by setting the UseFIPSCompliantAPI configuration setting to True. This is a static setting that applies to all instances of all classes of the toolkit within the process. It is recommended to enable or disable this setting once before the component has been used to establish a connection. Enabling FIPS while an instance of the component is active and connected may result in unexpected behavior.
For more details, please see the FIPS 140-2 Compliance article.
Note: This setting is applicable only on Windows.
Note: Enabling FIPS compliance requires a special license; please contact sales@nsoftware.com for details.
Setting this configuration setting to True tells the class 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.
