An easy-to-use AMQP 1.0 client implementation.

Syntax

IPWorksIoT.Amqp

Remarks

The AMQP class provides an easy-to-use AMQP 1.0 client implementation. The class supports both plaintext and TLS-enabled connections over TCP.

Connecting

AMQP 1.0's transport protocol has three layers: an overarching connection between two containers, the sessions opened on that connection, and the links (between the containers' nodes) attached to those sessions.

The class implements all three layers of the AMQP 1.0 transport protocol, so the first step is to initiate the overall connection. Set the ContainerId property and call the ConnectTo method, passing it the server's hostname and port number.

Once connected, the next step is to create at least one session, which can be accomplished by using the CreateSession method. The class allows creating any number of sessions, up to the limit specified by the MaxSessionCount configuration setting.

Connecting and Creating a Session amqp1.ContainerId = "testClient"; amqp1.ConnectTo("amqp.test-server.com", 5672); amqp1.CreateSession("TestSession");

After creating a session, the next step is to create one or more links (which are created in the context of a session) so that messages can be sent and/or received. Links are unidirectional, so each one has a sender on one end and a receiver on the other.

The class can function both as a sender node (by opening sender links) and as a receiver node (by opening receiver links). But keep in mind that, since the class is implemented as an AMQP 1.0 client, it must be the one to open links (said another way, the class cannot accept any link requests made by other peers).

As with sessions, the class allows creating any number of links for each session, up to the limit specified by the MaxLinkCountPerSession configuration setting.

Creating Sender Links

To create a sender link, call the CreateSenderLink method, passing it the name of an existing session, a unique name for the link, and (if necessary in your environment) the name of a target for the receiver to use to ensure messages are routed correctly.

The LinkReadyToSend event will fire when the newly created sender link is ready to send messages.

Creating a Sender Link amqp1.OnLinkReadyToSend += (s, e) => { Console.WriteLine("Link '" + e.LinkName + "' is ready to send messages!"); }; amqp1.CreateSenderLink("TestSession", "TestSenderLink", "TestTarget");

Sending Messages

To send a message, the first step is to set the Message* properties to the desired values.

At minimum, the MessageValue and MessageValueType properties must be set. All other properties are optional, though specifying a unique value for MessageMessageId is recommended. (If the GenerateMessageId configuration setting is enabled, the class will generate one automatically when the message is sent.)

Once the Message* properties have be assigned as desired, call the SendMessage method, passing it the name of an existing sender link on which the message should be sent.

The MessageOut event will be fired when the message has been sent (and acknowledged, if MessageSettled was set to false). The MessageOutcome event may also fire, if necessary, once the receiver reports the outcome of the message.

Refer to SendMessage, MessageOut, and MessageOutcome for more information.

Sending a Message amqp1.OnMessageOut += (s, e) => { Console.WriteLine("Message with Id '" + e.MessageId + "' has been sent on link '" + e.LinkName + "'."); }; amqp1.Message.MessageId = "TestMessageId"; amqp1.Message.Value = "Hello, world!"; amqp1.Message.ValueType = AMQPValueTypes.mvtString; amqp1.SendMessage("TestSenderLink");

The ResetMessage method can be used to reset the Message* properties to their default values.

Sending Composite AMQP Data

The AMQP 1.0 protocol's data model includes the concept of "composite data". Composite data is comprised of one or more type-value pairs (including data structure types), plus a descriptor that describes what the overall data represents.

The class supports sending composite AMQP data in a message through the use of JSON with a well-defined schema. Refer to the SendMessage method's documentation for more information and examples.

Creating Receiver Links

Receiver links can operate in one of two receive modes: automatic, where the class will work to ensure that messages are received as soon as they are available; and fetch-based, where the class will only "fetch" a new message when explicitly instructed to.

The ReceiveMode property controls which receive mode newly-created receiver links will use; refer to its documentation for more information.

After ensuring that ReceiveMode is set as desired, call CreateReceiverLink, passing it the name of an existing session, a unique name for the link, and (if necessary in your environment) the name of a source for the sender to route the link creation request to.

Creating a Receiver Link // Creating an automatic receiver link. amqp1.ReceiveMode = AmqpReceiveModes.rmAutomatic; amqp1.CreateReceiverLink("TestSession", "TestAutoReceiverLink", "TestSource1"); // Creating a fetch-based receiver link. amqp1.ReceiveMode = AmqpReceiveModes.rmFetch; amqp1.CreateReceiverLink("TestSession", "TestFetchReceiverLink", "TestSource2");

Receiving Messages

For receiver links created in automatic receive mode (the default), messages are received automatically.

For receiver links created in fetch-based mode, the class will attempt to "fetch" a message each time the FetchMessage method is called (optionally timing out after a time, if FetchTimeout is non-zero). When calling FetchMessage, pass it the name of a fetch-based receiver link.

Regardless of whether a messages is received automatically or fetched, any incoming message will cause the class to fire the MessageIn event and update the ReceivedMessage* properties.

When the MessageIn event fires, its State event parameter can be used to specify the outcome of the message, which the class will then transmit back to the sender (as well as self-report by firing the MessageOutcome event). Refer to MessageIn for more information.

Receiving a Message // For automatic receiver links, only the event handler is necessary. amqp1.OnMessageIn += (s, e) => { Console.WriteLine("Message with Id '" + e.MessageId + "' has been received on link '" + e.LinkName + "'. Value:"); Console.WriteLine(amqp1.ReceivedMessage.Value); // The message state is already set to the "Accepted" outcome by default, but we'll set it again // for the purpose of this example. e.State = 0; // 0 = Accepted. }; // For fetch-based links, it's also necessary to call FetchMessage(). It is recommended that the // FetchTimeout property be set to a non-zero value (60 seconds is the default) so that the fetch // request will eventually time out if the sender doesn't have any messages available to deliver. amqp1.FetchTimeout = 60; amqp1.FetchMessage("TestFetchReceiverLink");

AuthScheme Property (AMQP Module)

The authentication scheme to use when connecting.

Syntax

public var authScheme: AmqpAuthSchemes {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

public enum AmqpAuthSchemes: Int32 { case smNone = 0 case smSASLAnonymous = 1 case smSASLPlain = 2 case smSASLExternal = 3 }

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=authScheme,setter=setAuthScheme:) int authScheme;

- (int)authScheme;
- (void)setAuthScheme :(int)newAuthScheme;

Default Value

2

Remarks

This property controls what authentication scheme the class should use when connecting to the remote host.

Valid values are:

  • smNone (0)
  • smSASLAnonymous (1)
  • smSASLPlain (2) - Default
  • smSASLExternal (3)

Connected Property (AMQP Module)

This property triggers a connection or disconnection.

Syntax

public var connected: Bool {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=connected,setter=setConnected:) BOOL connected;

- (BOOL)connected;
- (void)setConnected :(BOOL)newConnected;

Default Value

False

Remarks

This property triggers a connection or disconnection. Setting this property to True makes the class attempt to connect to the host identified by the RemoteHost property. If successful, after the connection is achieved, the value of the property changes to True and the Connected event is fired.

Setting this property to False closes the connection. How and when the connection is closed is controlled by the Linger property.

Note: It is recommended to use the Connect or Disconnect method instead of setting this property.

ContainerId Property (AMQP Module)

The container Id the module should advertise when connecting.

Syntax

public var containerId: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=containerId,setter=setContainerId:) NSString* containerId;

- (NSString*)containerId;
- (void)setContainerId :(NSString*)newContainerId;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property specifies the container Id that the class should advertise when it's connecting to the remote host.

In AMQP, the top-level organizational grouping is called a "container", and each container can contain zero or more "nodes", which are the actual entities which send and receive messages over links.

Since this class handles multiple layers of the AMQP transport protocol (the overall connection, the sessions in that connection, and the links attached to those sessions), it must be given a unique container Id.

Note: The container Id cannot be changed while connected.

FetchTimeout Property (AMQP Module)

How long the module should wait for a message to be received after FetchMessage is called.

Syntax

public var fetchTimeout: Int32 {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=fetchTimeout,setter=setFetchTimeout:) int fetchTimeout;

- (int)fetchTimeout;
- (void)setFetchTimeout :(int)newFetchTimeout;

Default Value

60

Remarks

This property controls how long, in seconds, the class will wait for a message to be received after FetchMessage is called before timing out the request. If set to zero, the class will wait indefinitely.

Refer to FetchMessage for more information.

Firewall Property (AMQP Module)

A set of properties related to firewall access.

Syntax

public var firewall: Firewall {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=firewallAutoDetect,setter=setFirewallAutoDetect:) BOOL firewallAutoDetect;

- (BOOL)firewallAutoDetect;
- (void)setFirewallAutoDetect :(BOOL)newFirewallAutoDetect;

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=firewallType,setter=setFirewallType:) int firewallType;

- (int)firewallType;
- (void)setFirewallType :(int)newFirewallType;

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=firewallHost,setter=setFirewallHost:) NSString* firewallHost;

- (NSString*)firewallHost;
- (void)setFirewallHost :(NSString*)newFirewallHost;

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=firewallPassword,setter=setFirewallPassword:) NSString* firewallPassword;

- (NSString*)firewallPassword;
- (void)setFirewallPassword :(NSString*)newFirewallPassword;

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=firewallPort,setter=setFirewallPort:) int firewallPort;

- (int)firewallPort;
- (void)setFirewallPort :(int)newFirewallPort;

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=firewallUser,setter=setFirewallUser:) NSString* firewallUser;

- (NSString*)firewallUser;
- (void)setFirewallUser :(NSString*)newFirewallUser;

 

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is a Firewall-type property, which contains fields describing the firewall through which the class will attempt to connect.

IdleTimeout Property (AMQP Module)

The maximum period of inactivity the module will allow before disconnecting.

Syntax

public var idleTimeout: Int32 {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=idleTimeout,setter=setIdleTimeout:) int idleTimeout;

- (int)idleTimeout;
- (void)setIdleTimeout :(int)newIdleTimeout;

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property controls how long, in seconds, the class will allow the connection to sit idle before it disconnects from the remote host.

This property may be set to 0 to prevent the class from ever closing the connection due to inactivity.

Note: The idle timeout cannot be changed while connected.

IncomingMessages Property (AMQP Module)

Collection of incoming messages which have not been fully settled.

Syntax

public var incomingMessages: Array<AMQPMessage> {
  get {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readonly,assign,getter=incomingMessageCount) int incomingMessageCount;

- (int)incomingMessageCount;

- (long long)incomingMessageAbsoluteExpiryTime:(int)incomingMessageIndex;

- (NSString*)incomingMessageContentEncoding:(int)incomingMessageIndex;

- (NSString*)incomingMessageContentType:(int)incomingMessageIndex;

- (NSString*)incomingMessageCorrelationId:(int)incomingMessageIndex;

- (long long)incomingMessageCreationTime:(int)incomingMessageIndex;

- (long long)incomingMessageDeliveryCount:(int)incomingMessageIndex;

- (BOOL)incomingMessageDurable:(int)incomingMessageIndex;

- (NSString*)incomingMessageLinkName:(int)incomingMessageIndex;

- (NSString*)incomingMessageId:(int)incomingMessageIndex;

- (int)incomingMessagePriority:(int)incomingMessageIndex;

- (NSString*)incomingMessageReplyTo:(int)incomingMessageIndex;

- (NSString*)incomingMessageReplyToGroupId:(int)incomingMessageIndex;

- (BOOL)incomingMessageSettled:(int)incomingMessageIndex;

- (NSString*)incomingMessageSubject:(int)incomingMessageIndex;

- (NSString*)incomingMessageTo:(int)incomingMessageIndex;

- (long long)incomingMessageTTL:(int)incomingMessageIndex;

- (NSString*)incomingMessageUserId:(int)incomingMessageIndex;

- (NSString*)incomingMessageValue:(int)incomingMessageIndex;

- (int)incomingMessageValueType:(int)incomingMessageIndex;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This collection property holds a list of AMQPMessage items, one for each incoming message that has not been fully settled by the class (and, potentially, the remote host).

Refer to ReceiveMode for more information.

Links Property (AMQP Module)

Collection of active links.

Syntax

Default Value

""

Remarks

This collection property holds a list of AMQPLink items, one for each currently active link.

Refer to CreateReceiverLink, CreateSenderLink, and CloseLink for more information.

LocalHost Property (AMQP Module)

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

Syntax

public var localHost: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=localHost,setter=setLocalHost:) NSString* localHost;

- (NSString*)localHost;
- (void)setLocalHost :(NSString*)newLocalHost;

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.

LocalPort Property (AMQP Module)

The TCP port in the local host where the module binds.

Syntax

public var localPort: Int32 {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=localPort,setter=setLocalPort:) int localPort;

- (int)localPort;
- (void)setLocalPort :(int)newLocalPort;

Default Value

0

Remarks

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 LocalPort property after the connection is established.

LocalPort 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 in the client side.

Message Property (AMQP Module)

The message to send.

Syntax

public var message: AMQPMessage {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

This collection property holds a list of AMQPMessage items, one for each outgoing message that has not been fully settled by the class (and, potentially, the remote host).

Refer to SendMessage for more information.

Password Property (AMQP Module)

A password to use for SASL authentication.

Syntax

public var password: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=password,setter=setPassword:) NSString* password;

- (NSString*)password;
- (void)setPassword :(NSString*)newPassword;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains a password to use for SASL authentication.

ReadyToSend Property (AMQP Module)

Indicates whether the module is ready to send data.

Syntax

public var readyToSend: Bool {
  get {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readonly,assign,getter=readyToSend) BOOL readyToSend;

- (BOOL)readyToSend;

Default Value

False

Remarks

This property indicates that the underlying TCP/IP subsystem is ready to accept data. This is True after connecting to the remote host, and will become False if a call to SendMessage fails due to a WOULDBLOCK condition.

Once data can be sent again, the ReadyToSend event will fire and this property will be True.

If a WOULDBLOCK error occurs while sending a message the class will automatically complete the transmission when sending is possible. No action needs to be taken to re-send the message. ReadyToSend will fire after the class completes any partially sent messages.

This property is read-only.

ReceivedMessage Property (AMQP Module)

Refer to MessageIn for more information.

ReceiveMode Property (AMQP Module)

Controls what mode new receiver links are created with.

Syntax

public var receiveMode: AmqpReceiveModes {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

public enum AmqpReceiveModes: Int32 { case rmAutomatic = 0 case rmFetch = 1 }

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=receiveMode,setter=setReceiveMode:) int receiveMode;

- (int)receiveMode;
- (void)setReceiveMode :(int)newReceiveMode;

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property controls which receive mode newly created receiver links should use to receive messages from the sender. Valid values are:

  • rmAutomatic (0 - default)
  • rmFetch (1)

Receiving Messages Automatically

A receiver link operating in rmAutomatic (0) mode strives to ensure that the sender always has sufficient credit so that messages are received as soon as they are available, thus simulating a "subscription-based"/"push-based" messaging model.

In this mode, receiver links will be created with the amount of credit, and the credit threshold, specified by the DefaultCredit and DefaultCreditThreshold configuration settings. Anytime the link's credit reaches the credit threshold, the class will automatically set it back to its initial value.

Fetching Messages On-Demand

A receiver link operating in rmFetch (1) mode requires the FetchMessage method to be called in order for a message to be received, thus simulating a "polling"/"pull-based" messaging model.

In this mode, receiver links will be created with no credit (regardless of what DefaultCredit is set to). When FetchMessage is called, the class will supply the sender with a single credit and then block until a message is received (if the FetchTimeout property is set to zero).

If FetchTimeout is non-zero, the class will only block for the specified number of seconds; once that time expires, it will instruct the sender to consume the credit. If the sender chooses to consume the credit by incrementing the value of the LinkDeliveryCount property rather than by sending a message, then the class will throw an error indicating a timeout.

Refer to FetchMessage and FetchTimeout for more information. amqp.ReceiveMode = AmqpReceiveModes.rmFetch; amqp.CreateReceiverLink("SessionID", "ReceiverLinkName", "SomeTarget");

RemoteHost Property (AMQP Module)

This property includes the address of the remote host. Domain names are resolved to IP addresses.

Syntax

public var remoteHost: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=remoteHost,setter=setRemoteHost:) NSString* remoteHost;

- (NSString*)remoteHost;
- (void)setRemoteHost :(NSString*)newRemoteHost;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property specifies the IP address (IP number in dotted internet format) or the domain name of the remote host. It is set before a connection is attempted and cannot be changed once a connection is established.

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

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

Example. Connecting:

TCPClientControl.RemoteHost = "MyHostNameOrIP" TCPClientControl.RemotePort = 777 TCPClientControl.Connected = true

RemotePort Property (AMQP Module)

The port of the AQMP server (default is 5672). The default port for SSL is 5671.

Syntax

public var remotePort: Int32 {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=remotePort,setter=setRemotePort:) int remotePort;

- (int)remotePort;
- (void)setRemotePort :(int)newRemotePort;

Default Value

5672

Remarks

This 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.

Sessions Property (AMQP Module)

Collection of active sessions.

Syntax

public var sessions: Array<AMQPSession> {
  get {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readonly,assign,getter=sessionCount) int sessionCount;

- (int)sessionCount;

- (long long)sessionIncomingWindow:(int)sessionIndex;

- (NSString*)sessionName:(int)sessionIndex;

- (long long)sessionOutgoingWindow:(int)sessionIndex;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This collection property holds a list of AMQPSession items, one for each currently active session.

Refer to CreateSession and CloseSession for more information.

SSLAcceptServerCertEncoded Property (AMQP Module)

This is the certificate (PEM/base64 encoded).

- (NSData*)SSLAcceptServerCertEncodedB;
- (void)setSSLAcceptServerCertEncodedB :(NSData*)newSSLAcceptServerCertEncoded;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This property is used to assign a specific certificate. The SSLAcceptServerCertStore and SSLAcceptServerCertSubject properties also may be used to specify a certificate.

When SSLAcceptServerCertEncoded is set, a search is initiated in the current SSLAcceptServerCertStore for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, SSLAcceptServerCertSubject is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, SSLAcceptServerCertSubject is set to an empty string.

If an error occurs when setting this property an error will not be thrown. This property has a related method which will throw an error:

public func setSSLAcceptServerCertEncodedB(sslAcceptServerCertEncoded: Data) throws
public func setSSLAcceptServerCertEncoded(sslAcceptServerCertEncoded: String) throws

SSLCertEncoded Property (AMQP Module)

This is the certificate (PEM/base64 encoded).

- (void)setSSLCertEncodedB :(NSData*)newSSLCertEncoded;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This property is used to assign a specific certificate. The SSLCertStore and SSLCertSubject properties also may be used to specify a certificate.

When SSLCertEncoded is set, a search is initiated in the current SSLCertStore for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, SSLCertSubject is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, SSLCertSubject is set to an empty string.

If an error occurs when setting this property an error will not be thrown. This property has a related method which will throw an error:

public func setSSLCertEncodedB(sslCertEncoded: Data) throws
public func setSSLCertEncoded(sslCertEncoded: String) throws

SSLCertStore Property (AMQP Module)

This is the name of the certificate store for the client certificate.

Syntax

public var sslCertStore: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

public var sslCertStoreB: Data { get {...} set {...} }

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=SSLCertStore,setter=setSSLCertStore:) NSString* SSLCertStore;

- (NSString*)SSLCertStore;
- (void)setSSLCertStore :(NSString*)newSSLCertStore;

- (NSData*)SSLCertStoreB;
- (void)setSSLCertStoreB :(NSData*)newSSLCertStore;

Default Value

"MY"

Remarks

This is the name of the certificate store for the client certificate.

The SSLCertStoreType property denotes the type of the certificate store specified by SSLCertStore. If the store is password protected, specify the password in SSLCertStorePassword.

SSLCertStore is used in conjunction with the SSLCertSubject property to specify client certificates. If SSLCertStore has a value, and SSLCertSubject or SSLCertEncoded is set, a search for a certificate is initiated. Please see the SSLCertSubject property for details.

Designations of certificate stores are platform dependent.

The following designations are the most common User and Machine certificate stores in Windows:

MYA certificate store holding personal certificates with their associated private keys.
CACertifying authority certificates.
ROOTRoot certificates.

When the certificate store type is PFXFile, this property must be set to the name of the file. When the type is PFXBlob, the property must be set to the binary contents of a PFX file (i.e., PKCS#12 certificate store).

SSLCertStorePassword Property (AMQP Module)

If the type of certificate store requires a password, this property is used to specify the password needed to open the certificate store.

Syntax

public var sslCertStorePassword: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}

- (NSString*)SSLCertStorePassword;
- (void)setSSLCertStorePassword :(NSString*)newSSLCertStorePassword;

Default Value

""

Remarks

If the type of certificate store requires a password, this property is used to specify the password needed to open the certificate store.

SSLCertStoreType Property (AMQP Module)

This is the type of certificate store for this certificate.

Syntax

public var sslCertStoreType: AmqpSSLCertStoreTypes {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

public enum AmqpSSLCertStoreTypes: Int32 { case cstUser = 0 case cstMachine = 1 case cstPFXFile = 2 case cstPFXBlob = 3 case cstJKSFile = 4 case cstJKSBlob = 5 case cstPEMKeyFile = 6 case cstPEMKeyBlob = 7 case cstPublicKeyFile = 8 case cstPublicKeyBlob = 9 case cstSSHPublicKeyBlob = 10 case cstP7BFile = 11 case cstP7BBlob = 12 case cstSSHPublicKeyFile = 13 case cstPPKFile = 14 case cstPPKBlob = 15 case cstXMLFile = 16 case cstXMLBlob = 17 case cstJWKFile = 18 case cstJWKBlob = 19 case cstSecurityKey = 20 case cstBCFKSFile = 21 case cstBCFKSBlob = 22 case cstPKCS11 = 23 case cstAuto = 99 }

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=SSLCertStoreType,setter=setSSLCertStoreType:) int SSLCertStoreType;

- (int)SSLCertStoreType;
- (void)setSSLCertStoreType :(int)newSSLCertStoreType;

Default Value

0

Remarks

This is the type of certificate store for this certificate.

The class supports both public and private keys in a variety of formats. When the cstAuto value is used, the class will automatically determine the type. This property can take one of the following values:

0 (cstUser - default)For Windows, this specifies that the certificate store is a certificate store owned by the current user.

Note: This store type is not available in Java.

1 (cstMachine)For Windows, this specifies that the certificate store is a machine store.

Note: This store type is not available in Java.

2 (cstPFXFile)The certificate store is the name of a PFX (PKCS#12) file containing certificates.
3 (cstPFXBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in PFX (PKCS#12) format.
4 (cstJKSFile)The certificate store is the name of a Java Key Store (JKS) file containing certificates.

Note: This store type is only available in Java.

5 (cstJKSBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in Java Key Store (JKS) format.

Note: this store type is only available in Java.

6 (cstPEMKeyFile)The certificate store is the name of a PEM-encoded file that contains a private key and an optional certificate.
7 (cstPEMKeyBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) that contains a private key and an optional certificate.
8 (cstPublicKeyFile)The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a PEM- or DER-encoded public key certificate.
9 (cstPublicKeyBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) that contains a PEM- or DER-encoded public key certificate.
10 (cstSSHPublicKeyBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) that contains an SSH-style public key.
11 (cstP7BFile)The certificate store is the name of a PKCS#7 file containing certificates.
12 (cstP7BBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary) representing a certificate store in PKCS#7 format.
13 (cstSSHPublicKeyFile)The certificate store is the name of a file that contains an SSH-style public key.
14 (cstPPKFile)The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a PPK (PuTTY Private Key).
15 (cstPPKBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary) that contains a PPK (PuTTY Private Key).
16 (cstXMLFile)The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a certificate in XML format.
17 (cstXMLBlob)The certificate store is a string that contains a certificate in XML format.
18 (cstJWKFile)The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a JWK (JSON Web Key).
19 (cstJWKBlob)The certificate store is a string that contains a JWK (JSON Web Key).
21 (cstBCFKSFile)The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a BCFKS (Bouncy Castle FIPS Key Store).

Note: This store type is only available in Java and .NET.

22 (cstBCFKSBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in BCFKS (Bouncy Castle FIPS Key Store) format.

Note: This store type is only available in Java and .NET.

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

To use a security key, the necessary data must first be collected using the CertMgr class. The ListStoreCertificates method may be called after setting CertStoreType to cstPKCS11, CertStorePassword to the PIN, and CertStore to the full path of the PKCS#11 DLL. The certificate information returned in the CertList event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use.

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

Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key: certmgr.CertStoreType = CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11; certmgr.OnCertList += (s, e) => { secKeyBlob = e.CertEncoded; }; certmgr.CertStore = @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll"; certmgr.CertStorePassword = "123456"; //PIN certmgr.ListStoreCertificates(); sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, secKeyBlob, "123456", "*"); sftp.SSHUser = "test"; sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);

99 (cstAuto)The store type is automatically detected from the input data. This setting may be used with both public and private keys and can detect any of the supported formats automatically.

SSLCertSubject Property (AMQP Module)

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

Syntax

public var sslCertSubject: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=SSLCertSubject,setter=setSSLCertSubject:) NSString* SSLCertSubject;

- (NSString*)SSLCertSubject;
- (void)setSSLCertSubject :(NSString*)newSSLCertSubject;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.

If a matching certificate is found, the property is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:

FieldMeaning
CNCommon Name. This is commonly a hostname like www.server.com.
OOrganization
OUOrganizational Unit
LLocality
SState
CCountry
EEmail Address

If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.

If an error occurs when setting this property an error will not be thrown. This property has a related method which will throw an error:

public func setSSLCertSubject(sslCertSubject: String) throws

SSLEnabled Property (AMQP Module)

Whether TLS/SSL is enabled.

Syntax

public var sslEnabled: Bool {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=SSLEnabled,setter=setSSLEnabled:) BOOL SSLEnabled;

- (BOOL)SSLEnabled;
- (void)setSSLEnabled :(BOOL)newSSLEnabled;

Default Value

False

Remarks

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

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

If the default port (5672) is selected when SSLEnabled is set to true, the port will automatically be changed to the default port for AMQP with SSL (5671). Likewise, if port 5671 is selected when SSLEnabled is set to false, the port will automatically be changed to the default port. If the port has been set to any value other than the default values, it will remain the same when the value of SSLEnabled changes.

SSLProvider Property (AMQP Module)

This specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use.

Syntax

public var sslProvider: AmqpSSLProviders {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

public enum AmqpSSLProviders: Int32 { case sslpAutomatic = 0 case sslpPlatform = 1 case sslpInternal = 2 }

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=SSLProvider,setter=setSSLProvider:) int SSLProvider;

- (int)SSLProvider;
- (void)setSSLProvider :(int)newSSLProvider;

Default Value

0

Remarks

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

Possible values are:

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

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

When Automatic is selected the platform implementation will be used by default in all cases in the macOS edition.

SSLServerCertEncoded Property (AMQP Module)

This is the certificate (PEM/base64 encoded).

Syntax

public var sslServerCertEncoded: String {
  get {...}
}

public var sslServerCertEncodedB: Data { get {...} }

@property (nonatomic,readonly,assign,getter=SSLServerCertEncoded) NSString* SSLServerCertEncoded;

- (NSString*)SSLServerCertEncoded;

@property (nonatomic,readonly,assign,getter=SSLServerCertEncodedB) NSData* SSLServerCertEncodedB;

- (NSData*)SSLServerCertEncodedB;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This property is used to assign a specific certificate. The SSLServerCertStore and SSLServerCertSubject properties also may be used to specify a certificate.

When SSLServerCertEncoded is set, a search is initiated in the current SSLServerCertStore for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, SSLServerCertSubject is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, SSLServerCertSubject is set to an empty string.

This property is read-only.

If an error occurs when setting this property an error will not be thrown. This property has a related method which will throw an error:

public func setSSLServerCertEncodedB(sslServerCertEncoded: Data) throws
public func setSSLServerCertEncoded(sslServerCertEncoded: String) throws

Timeout Property (AMQP Module)

A timeout for the module.

Syntax

public var timeout: Int32 {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=timeout,setter=setTimeout:) int timeout;

- (int)timeout;
- (void)setTimeout :(int)newTimeout;

Default Value

60

Remarks

If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations return immediately, potentially failing with a WOULDBLOCK error if data cannot be sent immediately.

If 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 Timeout seconds.

The class will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not "freeze" and remains responsive.

If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the class .

Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, i.e. 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 (AMQP Module)

A username to use for SASL authentication.

Syntax

public var user: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=user,setter=setUser:) NSString* user;

- (NSString*)user;
- (void)setUser :(NSString*)newUser;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains a username to use for SASL authentication.

CloseLink Method (AMQP Module)

Closes a link.

Syntax

Remarks

This method closes the link named Name and removes it from the Link* properties. If no link with the given Name exists, an error will be thrown.

CloseSession Method (AMQP Module)

Closes a session.

Syntax

public func closeSession(name: String) throws -> Void
- (void)closeSession:(NSString*)name;

Remarks

This method closes the session named Name and removes it from the Session* properties. If no session with the given Name exists, an error will be thrown.

Any links open on the specified session when this method is called will be automatically closed and removed from the Link* properties.

Config Method (AMQP Module)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

public func config(configurationString: String) throws -> String
- (NSString*)config:(NSString*)configurationString;

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 (AMQP Module)

This method connects to a remote host.

Syntax

public func connect() throws -> Void
- (void)connect;

Remarks

This method connects to the remote host specified by RemoteHost and RemotePort. For instance: component.RemoteHost = "MyHostNameOrIP"; component.RemotePort = 7777; component.Connect();

ConnectTo Method (AMQP Module)

This method connects to a remote host.

Syntax

public func connectTo(host: String, port: Int32) throws -> Void
- (void)connectTo:(NSString*)host :(int)port;

Remarks

This method connects to the remote host specified by the Host and Port parameters. For instance: component.ConnectTo("MyHostNameOrIP", 777)

CreateReceiverLink Method (AMQP Module)

Creates a new receiver link with the given name on the specified session.

Syntax

Remarks

This method creates a new receiver link with the given Name on the session specified by SessionName and adds it to the Link* properties. If a link (sender or receiver) with the given Name already exists, or if no session with the given SessionName exists, an error will be thrown.

Source may be set to specify the address of the node at the remote host which should act as the sender. This may not be necessary in all environments, in which case an empty string will suffice.

Receiver links can operate in one of two receive modes: automatic, where the class will work to ensure that messages are received as soon as they are available; and fetch-based, where the class will only "fetch" a new message when explicitly instructed to.

The ReceiveMode property controls which receive mode newly-created receiver links will use; refer to its documentation for more information.

AMQP 1.0's transport protocol has three layers: an overarching connection between two containers, the sessions opened on that connection, and the links (between the containers' nodes) attached to those sessions. amqp.ReceiveMode = AmqpReceiveModes.rmFetch; amqp.CreateReceiverLink("SessionID", "ReceiverLinkName", "SomeTarget");

CreateSenderLink Method (AMQP Module)

Creates a new sender link with the given name on the specified session.

Syntax

Remarks

This method creates a new sender link with the given Name on the session specified by SessionName and adds it to the Link* properties. If a link (sender or receiver) with the given Name already exists, or if no session with the given SessionName exists, an error will be thrown.

Target may be set to specify the address of the node at the remote host which should act as the receiver. This may not be necessary in all environments, in which case an empty string will suffice.

The LinkReadyToSend event will fire when a newly-created sender link is ready to send.

Sender links are created using the Mixed settle mode by default, letting the value of the MessageSettled property control whether each message is settled (the default) or unsettled when it is sent. The DefaultSenderSettleMode configuration setting can be used to control the settle mode that new sender links are created with. Refer to SendMessage for more information on message settlement in general.

AMQP 1.0's transport protocol has three layers: an overarching connection between two containers, the sessions opened on that connection, and the links (between the containers' nodes) attached to those sessions.

CreateSession Method (AMQP Module)

Creates a new session with the given name.

Syntax

public func createSession(name: String) throws -> Void
- (void)createSession:(NSString*)name;

Remarks

This method creates a new session with the given Name and adds it to the Session* properties. If a session with the given Name already exists, an error will be thrown.

AMQP 1.0's transport protocol has three layers: an overarching connection between two containers, the sessions opened on that connection, and the links (between the containers' nodes) attached to those sessions.

Disconnect Method (AMQP Module)

This method disconnects from the remote host.

Syntax

public func disconnect() throws -> Void
- (void)disconnect;

Remarks

This method disconnects from the remote host. Calling this method is equivalent to setting the Connected property to False.

DoEvents Method (AMQP Module)

Processes events from the internal message queue.

Syntax

public func doEvents() throws -> Void
- (void)doEvents;

Remarks

When DoEvents is called, the class processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.

FetchMessage Method (AMQP Module)

Fetches a single message over the specified receiver link.

Syntax

public func fetchMessage(linkName: String) throws -> Void
- (void)fetchMessage:(NSString*)linkName;

Remarks

When FetchMessage is called, the class will supply the sender with a single credit and then block until a message is received (if the FetchTimeout property is set to zero).

If FetchTimeout is non-zero, the class will only block for the specified number of seconds; once that time expires, it will instruct the sender to consume the credit. If the sender chooses to consume the credit by incrementing the value of the LinkDeliveryCount property rather than by sending a message, then the class will throw an error indicating a timeout.

LinkName specifies the receiver link which should fetch a message; if there is no such link, if the specified link is not a receiver link, or if the specified receiver link is not operating in rmSyncGet (1) mode, an error is thrown.

Refer to ReceiveMode and FetchTimeout for more information.

Interrupt Method (AMQP Module)

This method interrupts the current action.

Syntax

public func interrupt() throws -> Void
- (void)interrupt;

Remarks

This method interrupts the current action. If you use SendFile to upload a file, the class will run synchronously until the upload is completed. This method will allow you to stop the file from uploading without disconnecting from the host.

Reset Method (AMQP Module)

Reset the component.

Syntax

public func reset() throws -> Void
- (void)reset;

Remarks

This method will reset the class's properties to their default values.

ResetMessage Method (AMQP Module)

Resets the Message properties.

Syntax

public func resetMessage() throws -> Void
- (void)resetMessage;

Remarks

This method resets the Message* properties.

SendMessage Method (AMQP Module)

Sends a message on the specified link.

Syntax

public func sendMessage(linkName: String) throws -> Void
- (void)sendMessage:(NSString*)linkName;

Remarks

This method sends a message on the link specified by LinkName.

The Message* properties are used to construct the message to send. At minimum, specify a MessageValue and a MessageValueType; all other properties are optional. The ResetMessage method can be used to reset the Message* properties. amqp.Message.ValueType = AMQPValueTypes.mvtString; amqp.Message.Value = "Hello World!"; amqp.SendMessage("SenderLinkName");

Message Settlement

AMQP provides the ability to negotiate delivery guarantees through the system of "message settlement". When a link is created, both the sender and the receiver negotiate a settle mode (one for each role) to use. Senders will operate in one of these modes:
  • Settled - All messages will be sent in a settled state.
  • Unsettled - All messages will be sent in an unsettled state.
  • Mixed - Messages may be sent either settled or unsettled.
and receivers will operate in one of these modes:
  • First - Incoming messages will be settled immediately (and the sender will be notified that the message has been received, if the message was not already settled when sent).
  • Second - Incoming messages will be settled after the sender has settled them (and the sender will be notified when a message has been received, if the message was not already settled when sent).

Together, the sender's and receiver's settle modes can form the following delivery guarantees:

Sender's Settle Mode Receiver's Settle Mode Effective Delivery Guarantee
Settled (Any) At most once
Unsettled First At least once
Unsettled Second Exactly once
(Note that, if the sender's settle mode is Mixed, the values in the "Sender's Settle Mode" column apply for each individual message.)

It is important to note that the message settlement system has a big caveat: Whichever party opens the link can only request that the other end use a specific settle mode. For example, if the class opens a sender link, it has control over the sender settle mode it will use, but it can only request that the remote host use a specific receiver settle mode; so if the class requests that the receiver use Second, the receiver can instead choose to use First (if, e.g., it doesn't support Second).

The class currently only ever requests (and itself only supports) the First receiver settle mode since no other AMQP implementations appear to support the Second receiver settle mode at this time.

The class requests (and uses) the Mixed sender settle mode by default, but supports all of the sender settle modes (the default can be changed using the DefaultSenderSettleMode configuration setting). Sender links created with the Mixed sender use the value of the MessageSettled property to determine whether to send messages as settled or unsettled.

Sending Composite Data

The AMQP 1.0 protocol's data model includes the concept of "composite data". Composite data is comprised of one or more type-value pairs (including data structure types), plus a descriptor that describes what the overall data represents.

Composite Data JSON Schema

The class uses JSON with a well-defined schema to represent composite data. The composite data JSON schema consists almost entirely of "type-value" objects, which hold an AMQP typename and a value. The syntax for a type-value object is:

{
  "type": "typename",
  "value": value
}

The following table provides a complete list of valid typenames, and describes how the associated values should be represented:

Typename Description Value Format
null Null null
boolean Boolean true or false
ubyte Unsigned byte 0 to 255
ushort Unsigned short 0 to 65535
uint Unsigned integer 0 to 4294967295
ulong Unsigned long 0 to 18446744073709551615
byte Byte -128 to 127
short Short -32768 to 32767
int Integer -2147483648 to 2147483647
long Long -9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807
float Float [IEEE 754 32-bit floating point number]
double Double [IEEE 754 64-bit floating point number]
decimal Decimal Hex-encoded byte string like "0A1B2C3D"
char Char "c"
timestamp Timestamp [Number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch (January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC)]
uuid UUID Hex-encoded UUID string like "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX" (hyphens optional, case-insensitive)
binary Binary data Hex-encoded byte string like "0A1B2C3D"
string String "UTF-8 string (correctly escaped for JSON)"
symbol Symbolic value "ASCII string"
array AMQP array JSON array with zero or more type-value objects of the same type
list AMQP list JSON array with zero or more type-value objects
map AMQP map JSON array with even number of type-value objects representing keys and values; no duplicate keys allowed
Note that typenames must be lowercase in order to be parsed correctly.

Arrays, Lists, and Maps

The AMQP data model defines three data structure types: array, list, and map. In the composite data JSON schema, their value is always a JSON array that contains zero or more type-value objects. Data structure types may be nested arbitrarily to any depth.

Note that the array and map data structures each have restrictions on their content:

  • The elements in an array must all be of the same type (e.g., their typenames must match).
  • The elements in a map represent keys (odd-numbered elements) and values (even-numbered elements). There must be an even number of elements (or none), and the values of the "key" elements must be unique.
{
  "type": "map",
  "value": [
    { "type": "symbol", "value": "key1" },
    { "type": "string", "value": "value1" },
    { "type": "symbol", "value": "key2" },
    { "type": "int", "value": 100 }
  ]
}

Described Types

As noted above, AMQP's data model includes the idea of "described types", which is simply a normal AMQP type annotated by a descriptor. The descriptor defines what the data it is associated with represents as a whole.

In the composite data JSON schema, a described type object is just a normal type-value object with an extra "descriptor" property on it (and the "descriptor" property's value is itself a normal type-value object). The syntax for a described type object is:

{
  "descriptor": { "type": "typename", "value": value },
  "type": "typename",
  "value": value
}

Described type objects can be used anywhere that normal type-value objects can be, except as the value of the "descriptor" property for another described type object, which must be a normal type-value object.

Note that, according to the AMQP specification, the type of the descriptor itself ulong or symbol, but the class does not enforce this.

Abbreviated Value Syntax

For brevity, it is possible to abbreviate both normal type-value objects and described type objects when their value type is null, boolean, or string.

For normal type-value objects, instead of using the standard syntax (e.g., { "type": "string", "value": "Hello, world!" }), just use the raw value itself (e.g., "Hello, world!"). Keep in mind that the abbreviated value must still be valid JSON; notably, strings must still be surrounded by quotes (e.g., "value", not value).

The abbreviated syntax for a described type object is a bit different; the "descriptor" property still needs to be associated with the value using a JSON object. To abbreviate a described type object, just exclude the "type" property, like so:

{
  "descriptor": { "type": "typename", "value": value },
  "value": value
}

The abbreviated value syntax can be used anywhere that an unabbreviated type-value object or described type object would normally be used.

The class defaults to using the abbreviated syntax when returning composite data JSON. This can be configured using the SimplifiedJSONFormat configuration setting.

Composite Data JSON Example

  "descriptor": { "type": "symbol", "value": "nsoftware:compositeDataExample" },
  "type": "list",

  • 2: Released - The message has not been (and will not be) processed.
  • 3: Modified - Same as "Released", but with additional metadata for the sender.

When State is set to Rejected (1), the class will include error metadata when it informs the sender of the outcome. Set the RejectErrorCondition and RejectErrorDescription configuration settings before the event handler finishes to specify this error information.

When State is set to Modified (3), the class can include additional metadata when it informs the sender of the outcome. Set zero or more of the ModifiedDeliveryFailed, ModifiedMessageAnnotations, and ModifiedUndeliverableHere configuration settings before the event handler finishes to specify this additional metadata.

Config Settings (AMQP Module)

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.

AMQP Config Settings

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

When AuthScheme is set to smSASLPlain you may use this setting to specify an authorization identity to be used when authenticating.

BinaryMessageEncoding:   Sets the expected message encoding to use for decoding binary messages.

This is only valid if DecodeBinaryMessage is AND no content-type was detected. In all other cases it is ignored.

Supports "utf8" (default) or "8bit".

DecodeBinaryMessage:   Decodes binary message payloads.

If set to the class attempts to read the incoming message's content-type, and if the content-type and charset are present they are used to decode.

If an unsupported charset is detected (currently supports utf8 and 8bit) an error is thrown and the message payload is left as hex-encoded byte string. If content-type is not present, then the BinaryMessageEncoding value is used to decode.

Default is .

DefaultCredit:   The amount of credit to create new receiver links with.

This setting controls the amount of credit that new receiver links are created with.

The default is 1024.

DefaultCreditThreshold:   The credit threshold to create new receiver links with.

The setting controls the credit threshold that new receiver links are created with. When a link's credit reaches the credit threshold, the class will automatically set it back to the amount of credit the link initially had.

The default is 256.

DefaultIncomingWindow:   The incoming window size to create new sessions with.

This setting controls the incoming window size (in frames) that new sessions are created with.

The default is 2014.

DefaultOutgoingWindow:   The outgoing window size to create new sessions with.

This setting controls the outgoing window size (in frames) that new sessions are created with.

The default is 2014.

DefaultReceiverSettleMode:   The receiver settle mode to create new links with.

This setting controls the receiver settle mode that new links (both sender and receiver) are created with. Possible values are:

  • 0 (First - default): The receiver will settle all incoming messages.
  • 1 (Second): The receiver will only settle messages after returning the message disposition and receiving the disposition from the sender indicating it has been settled.

Note: This setting can be used with Azure Service Bus to indicate the settlement mode. For example, "Peek-Lock" can be enabled by setting DefaultSenderSettleMode to 0 and DefaultReceiverSettleMode to 1.

DefaultSenderSettleMode:   The sender settle mode to create new links with.

This setting controls the sender settle mode that new links (both sender and receiver) are created with. Possible values are:

  • 0 (Unsettled): The sender will send messages to the receiver in an unsettled state.
  • 1 (Settled): The sender will send messages to the receiver in a settled state.
  • 2 (Mixed - default): The sender may send messages to the receiver in either a settled or an unsettled state.
GenerateMessageId:   Whether a unique message Id should be automatically generated when sending a message.

This setting controls whether the class will automatically generate a MessageMessageId value (overwriting any existing value in the process) when SendMessage is called.

The default is False.

LogLevel:   The level of detail that is logged.

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

0 (None) No events are logged.
1 (Info - default) Informational events are logged.
2 (Verbose) Detailed data is logged.
3 (Debug) Debug data is logged.

MaxFrameSize:   The maximum frame size.

This setting controls the maximum frame size (in bytes) that the class will accept. This setting cannot be changed while connected.

The default is 4294967295 (0xFFFFFFFF), which is the maximum value allowed.

MaxLinkCountPerSession:   The maximum number of links to restrict new sessions to.

This setting controls the maximum number of links which newly created sessions will be restricted to.

The default is 4294967295 (0xFFFFFFFF), which is the maximum value allowed.

MaxMessageSize:   The maximum message size to restrict new links to.

This setting controls the maximum message size (in bytes) which newly created links will be restricted to.

The default value is 1073741824 (0x40000000).

MaxSessionCount:   The maximum number of sessions.

This setting controls the maximum number of sessions which can be opened.

The default is 65535 (0xFFFF).

ModifiedDeliveryFailed:   Whether the sender should treat this transfer as an unsuccessful delivery attempt.

This setting specifies whether the sender should increment the "delivery count" value of the message that the associated "Modified" delivery outcome applies to (thus treating the transfer as an unsuccessful delivery attempt).

This setting is only valid while inside one of the MessageIn or MessageOutcome event handlers, and can only be set while inside the MessageIn event handler.

ModifiedMessageAnnotations:   The message annotations that the sender should merge into those already on the message.

This setting specifies a set of message annotations that the sender should merge into the existing ones for the message that the associated "Modified" delivery outcome applies to.

If not empty, this setting's value must be specified as valid composite data JSON containing a single AMQP map. The JSON must be structured according to the composite data JSON schema detailed in the SendMessage method's documentation. For example:

{
  "type": "map",
  "value": [
    { "type": "symbol", "value": "key1" },
    { "type": "string", "value": "test" },
    { "type": "symbol", "value": "key2" },
    { "type": "int", "value": 100 }
  ]
}

This setting is only valid while inside one of the MessageIn or MessageOutcome event handlers, and can only be set while inside the MessageIn event handler.

ModifiedUndeliverableHere:   Whether the receiver has indicated that the sender should not attempt to redeliver the message.

This setting specifies whether the receiver has indicated that the sender should not attempt to redeliver the message that the associated "Modified" delivery outcome applies to. (Note that the sender is free to try and deliver the message to another receiver if it so chooses.)

This setting is only valid while inside one of the MessageIn or MessageOutcome event handlers, and can only be set while inside the MessageIn event handler.

ProtocolVersion:   The AMQP protocol version to conform to.

This setting can be queried to determine what AMQP protocol version the class conforms to.

Note: Currently this setting will always return "1.0", and cannot be changed. The AMQPClassic class may be used instead of this one if AMQP 0.9.1 support is needed.

RejectErrorCondition:   The error condition included with a 'Rejected' delivery outcome.

This setting specifies the error condition included with a "Rejected" delivery outcome. Possible values are:

amqp:internal-error An internal error occurred.
amqp:not-found A peer attempted to work with a remote entity that does not exists.
amqp:unauthorized-access A peer attempted to work with a remote entity it does not have access to.
amqp:decode-error Data could not be decoded.
amqp:resource-limited-exceeded A peer exceeded its resource allocation.

This setting is only valid while inside one of the MessageIn or MessageOutcome event handlers, and can only be set while inside the MessageIn event handler.

RejectErrorDescription:   The error description included with a 'Rejected' delivery outcome.

This setting specifies a description of the error included with a "Rejected" delivery outcome. It may be empty.

This setting is only valid while inside one of the MessageIn or MessageOutcome event handlers, and can only be set while inside the MessageIn event handler.

SenderSettleMode[LinkName]:   Retrieves the negotiated sender settle mode for the specified link.

This setting can be queried to obtain the negotiated sender settle mode for an existing link specified by "LinkName".

SimplifiedJSONFormat:   Whether to output simplified JSON where possible.

This setting controls whether the class should output JSON using the abbreviated value syntax where possible. Refer to the composite data JSON schema detail in the documentation of the SendMessage method for more information.

The default is true.

TCPClient Config Settings

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

FirewallPort:   The TCP port for the FirewallHost;.

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

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

FirewallType:   Determines the type of firewall to connect through.

The appropriate values are as follows:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Note: This value is not applicable in macOS.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

LingerTime:   Time in seconds to have the connection linger.

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

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

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

In 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).

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

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

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

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

This; 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.

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

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

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

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

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

MaxTransferRate:   The transfer rate limit in bytes per second.

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

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

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

www.google.com;www.nsoftware.com

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

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

Note: This value is not applicable in Java.

TcpNoDelay:   Whether or not to delay when sending packets.

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

By default, this config is set to false.

UseIPv6:   Whether to use IPv6.

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

0 IPv4 Only
1 IPv6 Only
2 IPv6 with IPv4 fallback

SSL Config Settings

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

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

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

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

OpenSSLCADir:   The path to a directory containing CA certificates.

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

The path set by this property should point to a directory containing CA certificates in PEM format. The files each contain one CA certificate. The files are looked up by the CA subject name hash value, which must hence be available. If more than one CA certificate with the same name hash value exist, the extension must be different (e.g. 9d66eef0.0, 9d66eef0.1 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.

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

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

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

-----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.

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

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

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

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

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

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

ReuseSSLSession:   Determines if the SSL session is reused.

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

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

SSLCACerts:   A newline separated list of CA certificate to use during SSL client authentication.

This setting specifies one or more CA certificates to be included in the request when performing SSL client authentication. Some servers require the entire chain, including CA certificates, to be presented when performing SSL client authentication. 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-----

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

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

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

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

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

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

SSLCipherStrength:   The minimum cipher strength used for bulk encryption.

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

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.

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

The enabled cipher suites to be used in SSL negotiation.

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

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

Multiple cipher suites are separated by semicolons.

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

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

  • TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
  • TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
  • TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

SSLEnabledCipherSuites is used together with SSLCipherStrength.

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

Used to enable/disable the supported security protocols.

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:

TLS1.312288 (Hex 3000)
TLS1.23072 (Hex C00) (Default)
TLS1.1768 (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.

SSLEnableRenegotiation:   Whether the renegotiation_info SSL extension is supported.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When set, the class will save the session secrets in the same format as the SSLKEYLOGFILE environment variable functionality used by most major browsers and tools such as Chrome, Firefox, and cURL. This file can then be used in tools such as Wireshark to decrypt TLS 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.

SSLNegotiatedCipher:   Returns the negotiated cipher suite.

Returns the cipher suite negotiated during the SSL handshake.

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

SSLNegotiatedCipherStrength:   Returns the negotiated cipher suite strength.

Returns the strength of the cipher suite negotiated during the SSL handshake.

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

SSLNegotiatedCipherSuite:   Returns the negotiated cipher suite.

Returns the cipher suite negotiated during the SSL handshake represented as a single string.

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

SSLNegotiatedKeyExchange:   Returns the negotiated key exchange algorithm.

Returns the key exchange algorithm negotiated during the SSL handshake.

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

SSLNegotiatedKeyExchangeStrength:   Returns the negotiated key exchange algorithm strength.

Returns the strenghth of the key exchange algorithm negotiated during the SSL handshake.

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

SSLNegotiatedVersion:   Returns the negotiated protocol version.

Returns the protocol version negotiated during the SSL handshake.

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

SSLSecurityFlags:   Flags that control certificate verification.

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

0x00000001Ignore time validity status of certificate.
0x00000002Ignore time validity status of CTL.
0x00000004Ignore non-nested certificate times.
0x00000010Allow unknown Certificate Authority.
0x00000020Ignore wrong certificate usage.
0x00000100Ignore unknown certificate revocation status.
0x00000200Ignore unknown CTL signer revocation status.
0x00000400Ignore unknown Certificate Authority revocation status.
0x00000800Ignore unknown Root revocation status.
0x00008000Allow test Root certificate.
0x00004000Trust test Root certificate.
0x80000000Ignore non-matching CN (certificate CN not-matching server name).

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

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

This setting optionally specifies one or more CA certificates to be used when verifying the server certificate. When verifying the server's certificate the certificates trusted by the system will be used as part of the verification process. If the server's CA certificates are not installed to the trusted system store, they may be specified here so they are included when performing the verification process. This setting should only be set if the server's CA certificates are not already trusted on the system and cannot be installed to the trusted system store.

The value of this setting is a newline (CrLf) separated list of certificates. For instance:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw

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

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

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

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

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

TLS12SupportedGroups:   The supported groups for ECC.

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

The default value is ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1.

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

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

TLS13KeyShareGroups:   The groups for which to pregenerate key shares.

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

The default value is set to balance common supported groups and the computational resources required to generate key shares. As a result only some groups are included by default in this 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)
  • "ecdhe_secp521r1"
  • "ffdhe_2048" (default)
  • "ffdhe_3072" (default)
  • "ffdhe_4096"
  • "ffdhe_6144"
  • "ffdhe_8192"

TLS13SignatureAlgorithms:   The allowed certificate signature algorithms.

This setting holds a comma separated list of allowed signature algorithms. Possible values are:

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

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

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

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

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

Socket Config Settings

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

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

Note: This option is not valid for UDP ports.

FirewallData:   Used to send extra data to the firewall.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Base Config Settings

BuildInfo:   Information about the product's build.

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