SPOP Class
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The SPOP Class is used to easily retrieve electronic mail from internet post office servers (POP).
Syntax
class ipworkssmime.SPOP
Remarks
The SPOP Class is the S/MIME-enabled equivalent of the IPWorks POP Class. In addition to standard POP functions, the SPOP class can decrypt and verify message signatures. The methods and properties for decrypting and verifying signatures are identical to those provided with the S/MIME Class. When attempting to verify a signed message or when decrypting a message call, the decrypt, verify_signature, or decrypt_and_verify_signature methods and the resulting text will be replaced in message.
The SPOP Class implements a standard internet post office (POP3) client as specified in RFC 1725.
To connect to a mail_server, first set the appropriate user and password and then connect by calling the connect method. Upon successful connection to the mail_server, the number of waiting messages is shown by the message_count property. A message is selected by setting the message_number property to a number between 1 and message_count (inclusive). Then, the message text and headers are received by calling the retrieve method.
The message text is received through the on_transfer event, whereas the message headers are received through the on_header event. Additionally, up to max_lines from the message body are provided in the message_text property. The body of the message is also saved in the file specified by the local_file property. on_start_transfer and on_end_transfer events are fired at the beginning and end of message transmission. The on_pi_trail event provides a trace of the interaction between the client and server (excluding message transfers).

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 timeout property is 60 seconds.
user Property
This property includes the user identifier for the mailbox.
Syntax
def get_user() -> str: ... def set_user(value: str) -> None: ...
user = property(get_user, set_user)
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property contains the user identifier for the mailbox. This property must be set before the class connects to the mail_server.
check_message_encrypted Method
This method checks whether or not the current message is encrypted.
Syntax
def check_message_encrypted() -> bool: ...
Remarks
This method is used to check whether or not the current message is encrypted. This method will return True, if the current message appears to be encrypted, according to the value of output_message_headers.
check_message_signed Method
This method checks whether or not the current message is signed.
Syntax
def check_message_signed() -> bool: ...
Remarks
This method is used to check whether or not the current message is signed. This method will return True, if the current message appears to be signed, according to the value of output_message_headers.
Note: A message that is both signed and encrypted will not appear to be signed until after it is decrypted.
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
This method connects to the mail server and attempts to log in.
Syntax
def connect() -> None: ...
Remarks
This method connects to the mail server and attempts to log in using the current user and password. Then it retrieves the initial statistics about the mailbox contents (message_count and query_total_size).
Example. Connect to POP Mailbox:
POPControl.MailServer = "MyPOPServer"
POPControl.User = "username"
POPControl.Password = "password"
POPControl.Connect()
POPControl.MessageNumber = 1
POPControl.Retrieve()
MessageText = POPControl.MessageText
MessageHeaders = POPControl.MessageHeaders
decrypt Method
This method decrypts the current Message .
Syntax
def decrypt() -> None: ...
Remarks
This method attempts to decrypt the encrypted message using the certificate in certificate.
decrypt_and_verify_signature Method
This method decrypts and verifies the signature of the current message.
Syntax
def decrypt_and_verify_signature() -> None: ...
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.
Note: This function does not attempt to check the validity of the signing certificate.
delete Method
This method deletes a message specified by MessageNumber on the server.
Syntax
def delete() -> None: ...
Remarks
This method asks the mail_server to delete the message specified by message_number. The message will not actually be deleted from the server until the connection is closed. To cancel a previous Delete, use the reset method.
disconnect Method
This method disconnects from the mail server.
Syntax
def disconnect() -> None: ...
Remarks
This method makes the class disconnect from the mail_server by sending the QUIT command. If successful, all changes to the mailbox are committed by the server. Otherwise, changes are rolled back to the initial state that the server was in before the connection.
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.
interrupt Method
This method interrupts the current method.
Syntax
def interrupt() -> None: ...
Remarks
If there is no method in progress, interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.
list_message_sizes Method
This method retrieves a list of all message sizes from the server.
Syntax
def list_message_sizes() -> None: ...
Remarks
This message retrieves a list of all message sizes from the server. For each message listed, a on_message_list event will fire containing the number and size of the message.
list_message_ui_ds Method
This method retrieves a list of all message UIDs from the server.
Syntax
def list_message_ui_ds() -> None: ...
Remarks
This method retrieves a list of all message UIDs from the server. For each message listed, a on_message_list event will fire containing the number and UID of the message.
localize_date Method
This method converts a valid RFC 822 message date to a local date and time.
Syntax
def localize_date(date_time: str) -> str: ...
Remarks
This method can be used to convert an RFC 822 date and time string to the corresponding local date and time.
Note: Dates will be returned in the format: "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss".
query_message_size Method
This method returns the size in bytes of the current message.
Syntax
def query_message_size() -> int: ...
Remarks
This method queries the server for the size in bytes of the message specified by message_number. The method returns the size (in bytes) of the message.
If the class is not connected, or message_number does not contain a valid message number, the return value is 0. Otherwise, it returns the size of the mail message (including headers) as reported by the server.
The mail_server is asked about the size of the message only if the message_number property has changed. If message_number has not changed, the class returns a cached value.
query_message_uid Method
This method returns the unique identifier (UID) of the message as specified by the server.
Syntax
def query_message_uid() -> str: ...
Remarks
This method returns the unique identifier (UID) of the message specified by message_number. If the class is not connected, or message_number does not contain a valid message number, the return value of this method is an empty string. Otherwise, it returns the UID of the mail message as reported by the server.
The mail_server is asked about the UID of the message only if the message_number property has changed. If message_number has not changed, the class returns a cached value.
query_total_size Method
This method returns the cumulative size in bytes of messages in the mailbox (including headers).
Syntax
def query_total_size() -> int: ...
Remarks
This method returns the cumulative size in bytes of messages in the mailbox (including headers). When the class is not connected to the server, the return value of this method is 0. When connected, it returns the cumulative size of all the messages in the mail box as reported by the POP server.
reset Method
This method resets all changes and revert back to the state when the user first connected.
Syntax
def reset() -> None: ...
Remarks
This method is used to reset all changes and revert back to the state when the user first connected. Asks the mail_server to reset all changes and revert back to the state it was when connected.
retrieve Method
This method retrieves a message specified by MessageNumber from the server.
Syntax
def retrieve() -> None: ...
Remarks
This method is used to retrieve a message specified by message_number from the server. It asks the mail_server to retrieve the message specified by message_number. The message headers will arrive in the on_header event, and the message text will arrive in the on_transfer event.
The max_lines property defines the number of lines retrieved.
Example. Connect and Retrieve Messages:
POPControl.MailServer = "MyPOPServer"
POPControl.User = "username"
POPControl.Password = "password"
POPControl.Connect()
POPControl.MessageNumber = 1
POPControl.Retrieve()
retrieve_headers Method
This method retrieves headers for a message specified by MessageNumber .
Syntax
def retrieve_headers() -> None: ...
Remarks
Calling this method will retrieve the headers for the message specified by the message_number property. The message headers will be provided by the on_header event and also stored in the message_headers property.
Example. Connect and Retrieve Message Headers:
POPControl.MailServer = "MyPOPServer"
POPControl.User = "username"
POPControl.Password = "password"
POPControl.Connect()
POPControl.MessageNumber = 1
POPControl.RetrieveHeaders()
send_command Method
This method sends the exact command directly to the server.
Syntax
def send_command(command: str) -> None: ...
Remarks
This method sends the command specified by Command to the server exactly as it is provided. Use this method to send additional or custom commands directly to the server.
After calling this method, check the last_reply property or monitor the on_pi_trail event to obtain the server's response.
verify_signature Method
This method verifies the signature of the current message.
Syntax
def verify_signature() -> None: ...
Remarks
This method attempts to verify the signature of the input message. If the message does not have a certificate attached, the class will attempt to verify the signature using the certificate supplied in signer_cert (if any). If no certificate is found, the class fails with an error.
If this method is successful, the signer_cert property will contain the certificate information of the message signer.
Note: This function does not attempt to check the validity of the signing certificate.
on_connection_status Event
Fired to indicate changes in the connection state.
Syntax
class SPOPConnectionStatusEventParams(object): @property def connection_event() -> str: ... @property def status_code() -> int: ... @property def description() -> str: ... # In class SPOP: @property def on_connection_status() -> Callable[[SPOPConnectionStatusEventParams], None]: ... @on_connection_status.setter def on_connection_status(event_hook: Callable[[SPOPConnectionStatusEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
This event is fired when the connection state changes: for example, completion of a firewall or proxy connection or completion of a security handshake.
The ConnectionEvent parameter indicates the type of connection event. Values may include the following:
| Firewall connection complete. | |
| Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or S/Shell handshake complete (where applicable). | |
| Remote host connection complete. | |
| Remote host disconnected. | |
| SSL or S/Shell connection broken. | |
| Firewall host disconnected. |
on_end_transfer Event
This event is fired when the message completes transferring.
Syntax
class SPOPEndTransferEventParams(object): @property def direction() -> int: ... # In class SPOP: @property def on_end_transfer() -> Callable[[SPOPEndTransferEventParams], None]: ... @on_end_transfer.setter def on_end_transfer(event_hook: Callable[[SPOPEndTransferEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
The on_end_transfer event is fired when the message body completes transferring from the server to the local host.
The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.
on_error Event
Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.
Syntax
class SPOPErrorEventParams(object): @property def error_code() -> int: ... @property def description() -> str: ... # In class SPOP: @property def on_error() -> Callable[[SPOPErrorEventParams], None]: ... @on_error.setter def on_error(event_hook: Callable[[SPOPErrorEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
The on_error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class fails with an error.
The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.
on_header Event
This event is fired for every message header being retrieved.
Syntax
class SPOPHeaderEventParams(object): @property def field() -> str: ... @property def value() -> str: ... # In class SPOP: @property def on_header() -> Callable[[SPOPHeaderEventParams], None]: ... @on_header.setter def on_header(event_hook: Callable[[SPOPHeaderEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
The Field parameter contains the name of the 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_message_list Event
This event is fired for every message listed by ListMessageSizes and/or ListMessageUIDs .
Syntax
class SPOPMessageListEventParams(object): @property def message_number() -> int: ... @property def message_uid() -> str: ... @property def message_size() -> int: ... # In class SPOP: @property def on_message_list() -> Callable[[SPOPMessageListEventParams], None]: ... @on_message_list.setter def on_message_list(event_hook: Callable[[SPOPMessageListEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
When list_message_sizes is called, MessageSize is valid, and MessageUID is always an empty string.
When list_message_ui_ds is called, MessageUID is valid, and MessageSize is 0.
on_pi_trail Event
This event traces the commands sent to the mail server, and the respective replies.
Syntax
class SPOPPITrailEventParams(object): @property def direction() -> int: ... @property def message() -> str: ... # In class SPOP: @property def on_pi_trail() -> Callable[[SPOPPITrailEventParams], None]: ... @on_pi_trail.setter def on_pi_trail(event_hook: Callable[[SPOPPITrailEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
The on_pi_trail event is useful for debugging purposes. It shows all of the interaction between the client and the server, line by line, except for message header and body transfers.
The Message parameter contains the full text of the message. The Direction parameter shows the originator of the message:
| 0 (Client) | The Message originates from the client. |
| 1 (Server) | The Message originates from the server. |
| 2 (Info) | The Message is an informative message originating from the client software (the class code). |
on_ssl_server_authentication Event
Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.
Syntax
class SPOPSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams(object): @property def cert_encoded() -> bytes: ... @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 SPOP: @property def on_ssl_server_authentication() -> Callable[[SPOPSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams], None]: ... @on_ssl_server_authentication.setter def on_ssl_server_authentication(event_hook: Callable[[SPOPSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
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
Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.
Syntax
class SPOPSSLStatusEventParams(object): @property def message() -> str: ... # In class SPOP: @property def on_ssl_status() -> Callable[[SPOPSSLStatusEventParams], None]: ... @on_ssl_status.setter def on_ssl_status(event_hook: Callable[[SPOPSSLStatusEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.
on_start_transfer Event
This event is fired when the message starts transferring.
Syntax
class SPOPStartTransferEventParams(object): @property def direction() -> int: ... # In class SPOP: @property def on_start_transfer() -> Callable[[SPOPStartTransferEventParams], None]: ... @on_start_transfer.setter def on_start_transfer(event_hook: Callable[[SPOPStartTransferEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
The on_start_transfer event is fired when the message body starts transferring from the server to the local host.
The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.
on_transfer Event
This event is fired when the message is transferred from MailServer .
Syntax
class SPOPTransferEventParams(object): @property def direction() -> int: ... @property def bytes_transferred() -> int: ... @property def percent_done() -> int: ... @property def text() -> bytes: ... @property def eol() -> bool: ... # In class SPOP: @property def on_transfer() -> Callable[[SPOPTransferEventParams], None]: ... @on_transfer.setter def on_transfer(event_hook: Callable[[SPOPTransferEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
The Text parameter contains the portion of the message data to be retrieved.
The BytesTransferred parameter contains the number of bytes transferred since the beginning of the message, including header bytes. At the end of transmission (i.e., when the last on_transfer event is fired), BytesTransferred equals the value of the query_message_size method.
The on_transfer event is fired for every line of the message. For complete lines, there is no terminating newline at the end of the Text parameter, and EOL is True. The EOL parameter is False when a line is broken (usually for being too long).
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 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.
Note: For the PercentDone parameter value to be correct, the GetMessageSize configuration setting must be set to True.
SPOP 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.POP Config Settings
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 setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This configuration setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
| 0 | No firewall (default setting). |
| 1 | Connect through a tunneling proxy. FirewallPort is set to 80. |
| 2 | Connect through a SOCKS4 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080. |
| 3 | Connect through a SOCKS5 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080. |
| 10 | Connect through a SOCKS4A Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080. |
Note: This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
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.
www.google.com;www.nsoftware.com
Note: This value is not applicable in Java.
By default, this configuration setting is set to False.
| 0 | IPv4 only |
| 1 | IPv6 only |
| 2 | IPv6 with IPv4 fallback |
SSL Config Settings
When enabled, SSL packet logs are output using the 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.
The path set by this property should point to a directory containing CA certificates in PEM format. The files each contain one CA certificate. The files are looked up by the CA subject name hash value, which must hence be available. If more than one CA certificate with the same name hash value exist, the extension must be different (e.g., 9d66eef0.0, 9d66eef0.1). OpenSSL recommends the use of the c_rehash utility to create the necessary links. Please refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.
The file set by this property should contain a list of CA certificates in PEM format. The file can contain several CA certificates identified by the following sequences:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
... (CA certificate in base64 encoding) ...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
Before, between, and after the certificate text is allowed, which can be used, for example, for descriptions of the certificates. Refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.
The format of this string is described in the OpenSSL man page ciphers(1) section "CIPHER LIST FORMAT". Please refer to it for details. The default string "DEFAULT" is determined at compile time and is normally equivalent to "ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+SSLv2:@STRENGTH".
By default, OpenSSL uses the device file "/dev/urandom" to seed the PRNG, and setting OpenSSLPrngSeedData is not required. If set, the string specified is used to seed the PRNG.
If set to True, the class will reuse the context if and only if the following criteria are met:
- The target host name is the same.
- The system cache entry has not expired (default timeout is 10 hours).
- The application process that calls the function is the same.
- The logon session is the same.
- The instance of the class is the same.
The value is formatted as a list of paths separated by semicolons. The class will check for the existence of each file in the order specified. When a file is found, the CA certificates within the file will be loaded and used to determine the validity of server or client certificates.
The default value is as follows:
/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem;/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt;/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt;/etc/pki/tls/cacert.pem
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ...

When set to 0 (default), the CRL check will not be performed by the class. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the CRL check, but it will continue without an error if the server's certificate does not support CRL. When set to 2, it will perform the CRL check and will throw an error if CRL is not supported.
This configuration setting is supported only in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is supported only on Windows operating systems.
When set to 0 (default), the class will not perform an OCSP check. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the OCSP check, but it will continue without an error if the server's certificate does not support OCSP. When set to 2, it will perform the OCSP check and will throw an error if OCSP is not supported.
This configuration setting is supported only in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is supported only on Windows operating systems.
Note: This configuration setting contains the minimum cipher strength requested from the security library. The actual cipher strength used for the connection is shown by the 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.
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-----
By default, the enabled cipher suites will include all available ciphers ("*").
The special value "*" means that the class will pick all of the supported cipher suites. If SSLEnabledCipherSuites is set to any other value, only the specified cipher suites will be considered.
Multiple cipher suites are separated by semicolons.
Example values when ssl_provider is set to Platform include the following:
obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=*");

When TLS 1.3 is negotiated (see SSLEnabledProtocols), only the following cipher suites are supported:
- TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
- TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
- TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
SSLEnabledCipherSuites is used together with SSLCipherStrength.
Not all supported protocols are enabled by default. The default value is 4032 for client components, and 3072 for server components. To specify a combination of enabled protocol versions set this config to the binary OR of one or more of the following values:
| TLS1.3 | 12288 (Hex 3000) |
| TLS1.2 | 3072 (Hex C00) (Default - Client and Server) |
| TLS1.1 | 768 (Hex 300) (Default - Client) |
| TLS1 | 192 (Hex C0) (Default - Client) |
| SSL3 | 48 (Hex 30) |
| SSL2 | 12 (Hex 0C) |
Note that only TLS 1.2 is enabled for server components that accept incoming connections. This adheres to industry standards to ensure a secure connection. Client components enable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2 by default and will negotiate the highest mutually supported version when connecting to a server, which should be TLS 1.2 in most cases.
SSLEnabledProtocols: Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 Notes:
By default when TLS 1.3 is enabled, the class will use the internal TLS implementation when the ssl_provider is set to Automatic for all editions.
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 class 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.
This configuration setting is applicable only when ssl_provider is set to Internal.
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.
When set, the class will save the session secrets in the same format as the SSLKEYLOGFILE environment variable functionality used by most major browsers and tools, such as Chrome, Firefox, and cURL. This file can then be used in tools such as Wireshark to decrypt TLS traffic for debugging purposes. When writing to this file, the class will only append, it will not overwrite previous values.
Note: This configuration setting is applicable only when ssl_provider is set to Internal.
Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipher[connId]");
Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:

| 0x00000001 | Ignore time validity status of certificate. |
| 0x00000002 | Ignore time validity status of CTL. |
| 0x00000004 | Ignore non-nested certificate times. |
| 0x00000010 | Allow unknown certificate authority. |
| 0x00000020 | Ignore wrong certificate usage. |
| 0x00000100 | Ignore unknown certificate revocation status. |
| 0x00000200 | Ignore unknown CTL signer revocation status. |
| 0x00000400 | Ignore unknown certificate authority revocation status. |
| 0x00000800 | Ignore unknown root revocation status. |
| 0x00008000 | Allow test root certificate. |
| 0x00004000 | Trust test root certificate. |
| 0x80000000 | Ignore non-matching CN (certificate CN non-matching server name). |
This functionality is currently not available when the provider is OpenSSL.
The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ... Intermediate Cert... eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj -----END CERTIFICATE----- \r \n -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEFjCCAv6gAwIBAgIQetu1SMxpnENAnnOz1P+PtTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBp ... Root Cert... d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA -----END CERTIFICATE-----
When specified the class will verify that the server certificate signature algorithm is among the values specified in this configuration setting. If the server certificate signature algorithm is unsupported, the class fails with an error.
The format of this value is a comma-separated list of hash-signature combinations. For instance:
component.SSLProvider = TCPClientSSLProviders.sslpInternal;
component.Config("SSLEnabledProtocols=3072"); //TLS 1.2
component.Config("TLS12SignatureAlgorithms=sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa");
The default value for this configuration setting is sha512-ecdsa,sha512-rsa,sha512-dsa,sha384-ecdsa,sha384-rsa,sha384-dsa,sha256-ecdsa,sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha224-ecdsa,sha224-rsa,sha224-dsa,sha1-ecdsa,sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa.
To not restrict the server's certificate signature algorithm, specify an empty string as the value for this configuration setting, which will cause the signature_algorithms TLS 1.2 extension to not be sent.
The default value is ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1.
When using TLS 1.2 and 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)
The default value is set to balance common supported groups and the computational resources required to generate key shares. As a result, only some groups are included by default in this configuration setting.
Note: All supported groups can always be used during the handshake even if not listed here, but if a group is used that is not present in this list, it will incur an additional roundtrip and time to generate the key share for that group.
In most cases, this configuration setting does not need to be modified. This should be modified only if there is a specific reason to do so.
The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072
The values are ordered from most preferred to least preferred. The following values are supported:
- "ecdhe_x25519" (default)
- "ecdhe_x448"
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp521r1"

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

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.
