SNMPTCPAgent Class
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The SNMPTCPAgent class is used to implement TCP-based SNMP Agent Applications.
Syntax
SNMPTCPAgent
Remarks
The SNMPTCPAgent class implements a TCP-based standard SNMP Agent as specified in the SNMP RFCs. The class supports SNMP v1, v2c, and v3.
The class provides both encoding/decoding and transport capabilities, making the task of developing a custom SNMP agent as simple as setting a few key properties and handling a few events. SNMP data such as SNMP object id-s (OID-s) are exchanged as text strings, thus further simplifying the task of handling them.
The class is activated/deactivated by calling the Activate or Deactivate method. These methods enable or disable sending and receiving. The activation status can be found in the Active property.
The class operates asynchronously. Requests are received through events such as GetRequest, GetBulkRequest, GetNextRequest, etc. and the corresponding responses are automatically sent when the events return. Traps are sent through the SendTrap method.
SNMPv3 USM security passwords are requested through the GetUserPassword event, and event parameters such as User and SecurityLevel provide information about the security attributes of received requests, and enable granular decision capability about what to provide and what not to provide. The SendSecureTrap method is used to send authenticated (secure) SNMPv3 traps.
The AddUser, RemoveUser, ShowCache, and ClearCache methods are used to manage an internal authentication cache. This internal cache can be used as an alternative to the GetUserPassword event, automatically checking the cache against the security parameters provided in the request signature.
SNMP OIDs, types, and values are provided in the Objects collection of SNMP objects for both sent and received packets.
Other packet information is provided through corresponding event parameters, such as Community, or RequestId.

Data Type
Binary String
LocalHost Property (SNMPTCPAgent Class)
The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) char* GetLocalHost();
int SetLocalHost(const char* lpszLocalHost); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetLocalHost();
INT SetLocalHost(LPCWSTR lpszLocalHost);
char* ipworkssnmp_snmptcpagent_getlocalhost(void* lpObj);
int ipworkssnmp_snmptcpagent_setlocalhost(void* lpObj, const char* lpszLocalHost);
QString GetLocalHost();
int SetLocalHost(QString qsLocalHost);
Default Value
""
Remarks
The LocalHost 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 multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface.
If the class is connected, the LocalHost 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 multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).
NOTE: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.
Data Type
String
LocalPort Property (SNMPTCPAgent Class)

int ipworkssnmp_snmptcpagent_setlocalport(void* lpObj, int iLocalPort);
int GetLocalPort();
int SetLocalPort(int iLocalPort);
Default Value
161
Remarks
The LocalPort property must be set before the class is activated (Active is set to True). It instructs the class to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine (default 161).
You may also set LocalPort to 0. This allows the TCP/IP stack to choose a port at random. The value chosen is provided via the LocalPort property after the class is activated through the Active property.
LocalPort cannot be changed once the class is Active. Any attempt to set the LocalPort property when the class is Active will generate an error.
Note: on macOS and iOS, root permissions are required to set LocalPort to any value below 1024.

char* ipworkssnmp_snmptcpagent_config(void* lpObj, const char* lpszConfigurationString);
QString Config(const QString& qsConfigurationString);
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.
Error Handling (C++)
This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

int ipworkssnmp_snmptcpagent_sendresponse(void* lpObj, const char* lpszRemoteHost, int iRemotePort, int iRequestId, const char* lpszCommunity, int iErrorStatus, int iErrorIndex);
int SendResponse(const QString& qsRemoteHost, int iRemotePort, int iRequestId, const QString& qsCommunity, int iErrorStatus, int iErrorIndex);
Remarks
Use this method to send asynchronous response packets. A valid RequestId must be specified. SendResponse sends an unauthenticated response packet. Depending upon the value of the SNMPVersion property, the packet is constructed as an SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, or SNMPv3 (unauthenticated) response PDU. To send authenticated or encrypted SNMPv3 responses, use SendSecureResponse
The RemoteHost and RemotePort parameters are used to determine where the response is to be sent. The object identifiers, types, and values for the request are taken from the Objects collection. The RequestId, Community, ErrorStatus, and ErrorIndex parameters are used to specify other properties of the response.
Error Handling (C++)
This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution.

SendTrap Method (SNMPTCPAgent Class)
Sends an SNMP Trap.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int SendTrap(const char* lpszRemoteHost, const char* lpszTrapOID); Unicode (Windows) INT SendTrap(LPCWSTR lpszRemoteHost, LPCWSTR lpszTrapOID);
int ipworkssnmp_snmptcpagent_sendtrap(void* lpObj, const char* lpszRemoteHost, const char* lpszTrapOID);
int SendTrap(const QString& qsRemoteHost, const QString& qsTrapOID);
Remarks
Depending upon the value of the SNMPVersion property, the packet is constructed as an SNMPv1 or SNMPv2 Trap PDU. The following configuration settings provide more control about how traps are generated: TrapPort, TrapAgentAddress, TrapCommunity, TrapEnterprise. The SysUpTime property provides the trap timestamp.
SendTrap sends an unauthenticated trap. The SendSecureTrap method is used to send authenticated SNMPv3 traps.
If any values are provided in the Objects collection, they are sent unchanged. In the case of an SNMPv2 or SNMPv3 Trap, if Objects has a count that is equal to 0, the following values are set: sysUpTime.0 equal to SysUpTime and snmpTrapOID.0 equal to TrapOID.
For SNMPv2 and SNMPv3 Traps, TrapOID must contain the full OID of the Trap. For SNMPv1, TrapOID must be a string of the form "generic.specific" where generic and specific are numeric values providing the Trap Generic Type and Specific Type.
For SNMPv1, TrapOID must be of the form "GenericTrap.SpecificTrap". These values are sent in the PDU header. TrapAgentAddress and TrapEnterprise are taken from the corresponding configuration settings.
Additionally, the following symbolic values are recognized and translated as follows:
Trap Name | OID (SNMPv2 and above) | SNMPv1 GenericType |
coldStart | 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.1 | 0 |
warmStart | 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.2 | 1 |

ANSI (Cross Platform) char* Value(const char* lpszOID); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR Value(LPCWSTR lpszOID);
char* ipworkssnmp_snmptcpagent_value(void* lpObj, const char* lpszOID);
QString Value(const QString& qsOID);
Remarks
If the OID does not exist in the Objects collection, a trappable error is generated.
Please refer to the SNMPObject type for more information.
Error Handling (C++)
This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.
BadPacket Event (SNMPTCPAgent Class)
Fired for erroneous and/or malformed messages.

// Or, subclass SNMPTCPAgent and override this emitter function. virtual int FireBadPacket(SNMPTCPAgentBadPacketEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
The full message is provided in the Packet parameter.
The BadPacket event is also fired when authentication fails for received packets due to a bad password or other reasons.
If the Report parameter is set to True, an unauthenticated error report will be sent to the client, otherwise the packet will be silently ignored.

// Or, subclass SNMPTCPAgent and override this emitter function. virtual int FireDiscoveryRequest(SNMPTCPAgentDiscoveryRequestEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
EngineId, EngineBoots, EngineTime, and User are the values received from SourceAddress.
For SNMPv3, the User parameter shows the user that was supplied with the packet. This parameter MUST be used together with the SecurityLevel parameter which shows the level of security in the message.
The SecurityLevel parameter shows whether the request has been authenticated. If SecurityLevel is 0, the request has NOT been authenticated (i.e. the packet signature has not been verified). For an authenticated, non encrypted request, SecurityLevel is 1. For an authenticated and encrypted request, SecurityLevel is 2.
Respond is True by default, and will automatically send a response using the value in LocalEngineId. To suppress the response, set Respond to False.
The value returned to SourceAddress for EngineBoots is always 0, and EngineTime is the number of seconds since January 1st, 1970 (GMT).
Error Event (SNMPTCPAgent Class)

// Or, subclass SNMPTCPAgent and override this emitter function. virtual int FireGetBulkRequest(SNMPTCPAgentGetBulkRequestEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
This is only available for SNMP versions 2 and 3.
The list of variables in the SNMP packet, including optional values and types, is provided through the Objects collection. Each object is of type SNMPObject. This type describes the ObjId, ObjType, and ObjValue of each SNMP object. These variables must be copied to another location before the event has completed executing, or they may be overridden by other events.
The SourceAddress and SourcePort parameters show the address and port of the sender as reported by the TCP/IP stack.
The MessageId parameter identifies the received request.
For SNMPv3, the User parameter shows the user that was supplied with the packet. This parameter MUST be used together with the SecurityLevel parameter which shows the level of security in the message.
The SecurityLevel parameter shows whether the request has been authenticated. If SecurityLevel is 0, the request has NOT been authenticated (i.e. the packet signature has not been verified). For an authenticated, non encrypted request, SecurityLevel is 1. For an authenticated and encrypted request, SecurityLevel is 2.
To send a response, the Respond parameter must be set to true. By default, this value is false, which means no response will be sent. The ErrorStatus parameter may also be set to a valid SNMP status code (the default value is 0, which represents no error).
The following is a list of valid SNMP status code values:
0 (noError) | No error. |
1 (tooBig) | The response cannot fit in a single SNMP message. |
2 (noSuchName) | Variable does not exist. |
3 (badValue) | Invalid value or syntax. |
4 (readOnly) | Variable is read-only. |
5 (genError) | Other error (SNMPv1). |
6 (noAccess) | Access denied. |
7 (wrongType) | Wrong object type. |
8 (wrongLength) | Wrong length. |
9 (wrongEncoding) | Wrong encoding. |
10 (wrongValue) | Wrong value. |
11 (noCreation) | No creation. |
12 (inconsistentValue) | Inconsistent value. |
13 (resourceUnavailable) | Resource unavailable. |
14 (commitFailed) | Commit failed. |
15 (undoFailed) | Undo failed. |
16 (authorizationError) | Authorization error. |
17 (notWritable) | Variable is not writable. |
18 (inconsistentName) | Inconsistent name. |
Variable indexes start with 0. ErrorIndex has no meaning when ErrorStatus is 0 (no error).
A GetBulkRequest is very similar to a GetNextRequest, the difference is that Getbulk performs a continuous GetNext operation based on the MaxRepitions value. The NonRepeaters value will determine the number of Objects for which a simple GetNext operation should be performed. For the remaining variables, a continuous GetNext operation is performed based on the MaxRepitions value.
So if you send a request containing X objects, the agent will perform N simple GetNext operations and M continuous GetNext operations X - N times. With X being the number of objects received, N being the number of NonRepeaters, and M being the number of MaxRepitions. Thus the SNMPMgr is expecting to receive N + M x (X - N) objects, assuming that each object has M successors.

#define EID_SNMPTCPAGENT_GETUSERPASSWORD 11 virtual INT IPWORKSSNMP_CALL FireGetUserPassword(INT &iPasswordType, LPSTR &lpszUser, LPSTR &lpszPassword, INT &iAlgorithm);
class SNMPTCPAgentGetUserPasswordEventParams { public: int PasswordType(); const QString &User(); const QString &Password(); void SetPassword(const QString &qsPassword); int Algorithm(); void SetAlgorithm(int iAlgorithm); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void GetUserPassword(SNMPTCPAgentGetUserPasswordEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass SNMPTCPAgent and override this emitter function. virtual int FireGetUserPassword(SNMPTCPAgentGetUserPasswordEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
The GetUserPassword event is fired after initial inspection of SNMPv3 requests.
The type of password required is provided in the PasswordType parameter: 1 for authentication, and 2 for encryption (privacy).
The password corresponding to User (if any) must be provided in the Password parameter. If the password is valid, processing will continue to other events such as GetRequest, SetRequest, etc.
If the PasswordType parameter is 1 (authentication is used), the Algorithm parameter can be set. Possible values are:
Value | Authentication Algorithm |
0 (default) | Any |
1 | MD5 |
2 | SHA1 |
3 | SHA256 |
4 | SHA512 |
Value | Encryption Algorithm |
1 (default) | DES |
2 | AES |
3 | 3DES |
4 | AES192 |
5 | AES256 |
If the password does not match the signature in the request, a BadPacket event will be fired, at which point you can decide whether to report the error to the client (see the description of the BadPacket event for more information).
If the User is invalid or unknown, set the password to empty string (default) to ignore the request. This will result in a BadPacket event being fired, at which point you can decide whether to report the error to the client or not.
GetUserSecurityLevel Event (SNMPTCPAgent Class)
Sets the security level for an incoming packet.

// Or, subclass SNMPTCPAgent and override this emitter function. virtual int FireGetUserSecurityLevel(SNMPTCPAgentGetUserSecurityLevelEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
The GetUserSecurityLevel event is fired after the first inspection of each SNMPv3 request. The SecurityLevel parameter determines the level of security for the message.
On entry, the SecurityLevel parameter contains the default security level for User if the user is located in the internal cache, or if the User is not found in the cache, the SecurityLevel will be -1.
The value of SecurityLevel upon exiting the event, determines how the message will be processed:
-1 | The message will be ignored and a BadPacket event will be fired. |
0 | No security. The message will be processed without any authentication and/or encryption. |
1 | Authentication only. The message will be checked for a valid signature and the GetUserPassword event will be fired to verify the authentication password. |
2 | Authentication and Privacy. The message will be checked for a valid signature and the GetUserPassword event will be fired twice: first to verify the authentication password, and then to verify the privacy password. |
HashPassword Event (SNMPTCPAgent Class)
Fired before and after a password is hashed.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireHashPassword(SNMPTCPAgentHashPasswordEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *Password;
int AuthAlgorithm;
char *Hash; int reserved; } SNMPTCPAgentHashPasswordEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireHashPassword(SNMPTCPAgentHashPasswordEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR Password;
INT AuthAlgorithm;
LPWSTR Hash; INT reserved; } SNMPTCPAgentHashPasswordEventParams;
#define EID_SNMPTCPAGENT_HASHPASSWORD 13 virtual INT IPWORKSSNMP_CALL FireHashPassword(LPSTR &lpszPassword, INT &iAuthAlgorithm, LPSTR &lpszHash);
class SNMPTCPAgentHashPasswordEventParams { public: const QString &Password(); int AuthAlgorithm(); const QString &Hash(); void SetHash(const QString &qsHash); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void HashPassword(SNMPTCPAgentHashPasswordEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass SNMPTCPAgent and override this emitter function. virtual int FireHashPassword(SNMPTCPAgentHashPasswordEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
SNMPv3 passwords are hashed in order to obtain authentication and encryption keys. This is an expensive operation, and in certain situations it may be preferable to store the hashed passwords externally and supply them on demand.
If a hash is required, the event fires with an empty string in the Hash parameter. In this case, you can choose to supply a value for the hash and stop the class from computing the hash.
The event also fires every time a hash is computed. In this case, the Hash parameter contains the value of the computed hash.
AuthAlgorithm contains either 1 for HMAC-MD5-96, 2 for HMAC-SHA-96 or 3 for HMAC-192-SHA-256
PacketTrace Event (SNMPTCPAgent Class)
Fired for every packet sent or received.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FirePacketTrace(SNMPTCPAgentPacketTraceEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *Packet; int lenPacket;
int Direction;
const char *PacketAddress;
int PacketPort; int reserved; } SNMPTCPAgentPacketTraceEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FirePacketTrace(SNMPTCPAgentPacketTraceEventParams *e);

// Or, subclass SNMPTCPAgent and override this emitter function. virtual int FirePacketTrace(SNMPTCPAgentPacketTraceEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
The PacketTrace event shows all the packets sent or received by the class.
Packet contains the full contents of the datagram.
Direction shows the direction of the packet: 1 for incoming packets, and 2 for outgoing packets.
In the case of an incoming packet, PacketAddress and PacketPort identify the source of the packet.
In the case of an outgoing packet, PacketAddress and PacketPort identify the destination of the packet.
ReadyToSend Event (SNMPTCPAgent Class)
Fired when the class is ready to send data.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireReadyToSend(SNMPTCPAgentReadyToSendEventParams *e);
typedef struct { int reserved; } SNMPTCPAgentReadyToSendEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireReadyToSend(SNMPTCPAgentReadyToSendEventParams *e);

// Or, subclass SNMPTCPAgent and override this emitter function. virtual int FireReadyToSend(SNMPTCPAgentReadyToSendEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
The ReadyToSend event indicates that the underlying TCP/IP subsystem is ready to accept data after a failed DataToSend.
Report Event (SNMPTCPAgent Class)

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Report(SNMPTCPAgentReportEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass SNMPTCPAgent and override this emitter function. virtual int FireReport(SNMPTCPAgentReportEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
For SNMPv3, the User parameter shows the user that was supplied with the packet. This parameter MUST be used together with the SecurityLevel parameter which shows the level of security in the message.
The SecurityLevel parameter shows whether the request has been authenticated. If SecurityLevel is 0, the request has NOT been authenticated (i.e. the packet signature has not been verified). For an authenticated, non encrypted request, SecurityLevel is 1. For an authenticated and encrypted request, SecurityLevel is 2.
The list of variables in the SNMP packet, including optional values and types, is provided through the Objects collection. Each object is of type SNMPObject. This type describes the ObjId, ObjType, and ObjValue of each SNMP object. These variables must be copied to another location before the event has completed executing, or they may be overridden by other events.
The SourceAddress and SourcePort parameters show the address and port of the sender as reported by the TCP/IP stack.
SetRequest Event (SNMPTCPAgent Class)
Fired when a SetRequest packet is received.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireSetRequest(SNMPTCPAgentSetRequestEventParams *e);

class SNMPTCPAgentSetRequestEventParams { public: int RequestId(); int MessageId(); int SNMPVersion(); const QString &Community(); const QString &User(); int SecurityLevel(); const QString &SourceAddress(); int SourcePort(); int ErrorIndex(); void SetErrorIndex(int iErrorIndex); int ErrorStatus(); void SetErrorStatus(int iErrorStatus); const QString &ErrorDescription(); bool Respond(); void SetRespond(bool bRespond); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void SetRequest(SNMPTCPAgentSetRequestEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass SNMPTCPAgent and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSetRequest(SNMPTCPAgentSetRequestEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
The list of variables in the SNMP packet, including optional values and types, is provided through the Objects collection. Each object is of type SNMPObject. This type describes the ObjId, ObjType, and ObjValue of each SNMP object. These variables must be copied to another location before the event has completed executing, or they may be overridden by other events.
The SourceAddress and SourcePort parameters show the address and port of the sender as reported by the TCP/IP stack.
The MessageId parameter identifies the received request.
For SNMPv3, the User parameter shows the user that was supplied with the packet. This parameter MUST be used together with the SecurityLevel parameter which shows the level of security in the message.
The SecurityLevel parameter shows whether the request has been authenticated. If SecurityLevel is 0, the request has NOT been authenticated (i.e. the packet signature has not been verified). For an authenticated, non encrypted request, SecurityLevel is 1. For an authenticated and encrypted request, SecurityLevel is 2.
To send a response, the Respond parameter must be set to true. By default, this value is false, which means no response will be sent. The ErrorStatus parameter may also be set to a valid SNMP status code (the default value is 0, which represents no error).
The following is a list of valid SNMP status code values:
0 (noError) | No error. |
1 (tooBig) | The response cannot fit in a single SNMP message. |
2 (noSuchName) | Variable does not exist. |
3 (badValue) | Invalid value or syntax. |
4 (readOnly) | Variable is read-only. |
5 (genError) | Other error (SNMPv1). |
6 (noAccess) | Access denied. |
7 (wrongType) | Wrong object type. |
8 (wrongLength) | Wrong length. |
9 (wrongEncoding) | Wrong encoding. |
10 (wrongValue) | Wrong value. |
11 (noCreation) | No creation. |
12 (inconsistentValue) | Inconsistent value. |
13 (resourceUnavailable) | Resource unavailable. |
14 (commitFailed) | Commit failed. |
15 (undoFailed) | Undo failed. |
16 (authorizationError) | Authorization error. |
17 (notWritable) | Variable is not writable. |
18 (inconsistentName) | Inconsistent name. |
Variable indexes start with 0. ErrorIndex has no meaning when ErrorStatus is 0 (no error).
SSLClientAuthentication Event (SNMPTCPAgent Class)
Fired when the client presents its credentials to the server.

// Or, subclass SNMPTCPAgent and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSSLClientAuthentication(SNMPTCPAgentSSLClientAuthenticationEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
This event fires when a client connects to the class and presents a certificate for authentication. 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 to continue or not.
When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string "OK").
RemoteAddress is the IP address of the connecting client.
RemotePort is the source port of the connecting client.
CertEncoded is the base64 encoded certificate presented by the client.
CertSubject is the subject of the certificate presented by the client.
CertIssuer is the subject of the issuer of the certificate presented by the client.
Status is the stauts of the certificate.
Accept defines whether the certificate is accepted.
SSLServerAuthentication Event (SNMPTCPAgent Class)
Fires when connecting to the server.
Syntax

// Or, subclass SNMPTCPAgent and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSSLServerAuthentication(SNMPTCPAgentSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
This event is where the client can decide whether to continue with the connection process or not. 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 to continue or not.
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.
RemoteAddress is the IP address of the server.
RemotePort is the source port of the server.
CertEncoded is the base64 encoded certificate presented by the server.
CertSubject is the subject of the certificate presented by the server.
CertIssuer is the subject of the issuer of the certificate presented by the server.
Status is the stauts of the certificate.
Accept defines whether the certificate is accepted.
SSLStatus Event (SNMPTCPAgent Class)

// Or, subclass SNMPTCPAgent and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSSLStatus(SNMPTCPAgentSSLStatusEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. It is used to track the progress of the connection.
RemoteAddress is the IP address of the remote machine.
RemotePort is the port of the remote machine.
Message is the log message.
Config Settings (SNMPTCPAgent Class)
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.SNMPTCPAgent Config Settings
0 (default) | Component operates normally for greatest compatibility. |
1 | Component uses SNMP4j-compatible encryption (AES192 and AES256). |
2 | Component automatically detects whether to use SNMP4j-compatible encryption (AES192 and AES256). Note: This option is only applicable when receiving packets. If you are using SNMPMgr or sending secure traps, you will need to select either 0 or 1. |
A valid port number (a value between 1 and 65535) is required. The default value is 162.
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 only available in the Unix platform. It is not supported in masOS or FreeBSD.
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 multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface.
If the class is connected, the LocalHost setting shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).
Setting this to 0 (default) enables the system to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by LocalPort after the connection is established.
LocalPort cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this when a connection is active will generate an error.
This; setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port in the client side. An example is the remote shell (rsh) service in UNIX systems.
If an EOL string is found in the input stream before MaxLineLength bytes are received, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to True, and the buffer is reset.
If no EOL is found, and MaxLineLength bytes are accumulated in the buffer, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to False, and the buffer is reset.
The minimum value for MaxLineLength is 256 bytes. The default value is 2048 bytes.

Note: This value is not applicable in Java.
By default, this config is set to false.
0 | IPv4 Only |
1 | IPv6 Only |
2 | IPv6 with IPv4 fallback |
SSL Config Settings
When enabled, SSL packet logs are output using the SSLStatus event, which will fire each time an SSL packet is sent or received.
Enabling this setting has no effect if SSLProvider is set to Platform.
The path set by this property should point to a directory containing CA certificates in PEM format. The files each contain one CA certificate. The files are looked up by the CA subject name hash value, which must hence be available. If more than one CA certificate with the same name hash value exist, the extension must be different (e.g. 9d66eef0.0, 9d66eef0.1 etc). OpenSSL recommends to use 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
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
... (CA certificate in base64 encoding) ...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
sequences. Before, between, and after the certificates text is allowed which can be used e.g. for descriptions of the certificates. Please 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:
/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 ... eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj -----END CERTIFICATE----- \r \n -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEFjCCAv6gAwIBAgIQetu1SMxpnENAnnOz1P+PtTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBp .. d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA -----END CERTIFICATE-----
Please note that this setting contains the minimum cipher strength requested from the security library. The actual cipher strength used for the connection is shown by the SSLStatus event.
Use this 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 config setting.
By default, the enabled cipher suites will include all available ciphers ("*").
The special value "*" means that the class will pick all of the supported cipher suites. If SSLEnabledCipherSuites is set to any other value, only the specified cipher suites will be considered.
Multiple cipher suites are separated by semicolons.
Example values when SSLProvider is set to Platform:
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 value of this setting is 4032). If you want more granular control over the enabled protocols, you can set this property to the binary 'OR' of one or more of the following values:
TLS1.3 | 12288 (Hex 3000) |
TLS1.2 | 3072 (Hex C00) (Default) |
TLS1.1 | 768 (Hex 300) (Default) |
TLS1 | 192 (Hex C0) (Default) |
SSL3 | 48 (Hex 30) [Platform Only] |
SSL2 | 12 (Hex 0C) [Platform Only] |
SSLEnabledProtocols - TLS 1.3 Notes
By default when TLS 1.3 is enabled the class will use the internal TLS implementation when the SSLProvider is set to Automatic for all editions.
In editions which are designed to run on Windows SSLProvider can be set to Platform to use the platform implementation instead of the internal implementation. When configured in this manner, please note that the platform provider is only supported 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 only available 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 the above 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 SSLProvider is set to internal. To use SSL 2.0 or SSL 3.0, the platform security API must have the protocols enabled and SSLProvider needs to be set to platform.
This setting is only applicable when SSLProvider is set to Internal.
If set to True all certificates returned by the server will be present in the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event. This includes the leaf certificate, any intermediate certificate, and the root certificate.
When set, the 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 traffice for debugging purposes. When writing to this file the class will only append, it will not overwrite previous values.
Note: This setting is only applicable when SSLProvider is set to Internal.
Note: For server components (e.g. TCPServer) this is a per-connection setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipher[connId]");
Note: For server components (e.g.TCPServer) this is a per-connection setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:

0x00004000 | Trust test Root certificate. |
0x80000000 | Ignore non-matching CN (certificate CN not-matching server name). |
This functionality is currently not available when the provider is OpenSSL.
The value of this setting is a newline (CrLf) separated list of certificates. For instance:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ... eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj -----END CERTIFICATE----- \r \n -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEFjCCAv6gAwIBAgIQetu1SMxpnENAnnOz1P+PtTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBp .. d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA -----END CERTIFICATE-----
When specified the class will verify that the server certificate signature algorithm is among the values specified in this 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 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.
In order to not restrict the server's certificate signature algorithm, specify an empty string as the value for this setting, which will cause the signature_algorithms TLS 1.2 extension to not be sent.
The default value is ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1.
When using TLS 1.2 and SSLProvider is set to Internal, the values refer to the supported groups for ECC. The following values are supported:
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp521r1" (default)
The default value is set to balance common supported groups and the computational resources required to generate key shares. As a result only some groups are included by default in this setting.
Note: All supported groups can always be used during the handshake even if not listed here, but if a group is used which is not present in this list it will incur an additional round trip and time to generate the key share for that group.
In most cases this setting does not need to be modified. This should only be modified 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)

Note: This option is not valid for 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.

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.
Trappable Errors (SNMPTCPAgent Class)
Error Handling (C++)
Call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain the last called method's result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. Known error codes are listed below. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.
