Syntax

ipworksiot::MQTTBroker

Remarks

The MQTTBroker struct provides a lightweight, fully-featured MQTT broker implementation with support for version 3.1.1. The struct supports plaintext and TLS-enabled connections over both standard TCP and WebSockets.

Configuring Listeners

The add_broker_listener method adds a new listener to the listeners collection. Any listeners must be configured before starting the broker. Multiple protocols can be supported by adding different listeners.

The struct supports the following protocols:

0 (mbpTCP) Plaintext TCP
1 (mbpTLS) SSL/TLS over TCP
2 (mbpWS) Plaintext WebSocket
3 (mbpWSS) SSL/TLS over WebSocket

Multiple protocols can be enabled (each on a different port): // Plaintext TCP mqttbroker.AddBrokerListener("127.0.0.1", PLAIN_PORT, (int)MQTTBrokerProtocols.mbpTCP, 0, null, null, null); // TCP with TLS mqttbroker.AddBrokerListener("127.0.0.1", SSL_PORT, (int)MQTTBrokerProtocols.mbpTLS, (int)CertStoreTypes.cstPFXFile, "test1.pfx", "test", "*"); // Plaintext WebSocket mqttbroker.AddBrokerListener("127.0.0.1", WS_PORT, (int)MQTTBrokerProtocols.mbpWS, 0, null, null, null); // WebSocket with TLS mqttbroker.AddBrokerListener("127.0.0.1", WSS_PORT, (int)MQTTBrokerProtocols.mbpWSS, (int)CertStoreTypes.cstPFXFile, "test2.pfx", "test", "*"); Once all listeners have been added, the broker can be started via the start_listening method.

Handling Sessions

When an MQTT client requests a session, the on_session_request event will fire with session details. The UserName and Password parameters can be checked before setting Accept to True to accept the session request. Accept can be set to False to reject the session request.

broker.OnSessionRequest += (s,e) => { // Check e.UserName and e.Password if needed // Set Accept to true to accept the session request e.Accept = true; };

Handling Subscriptions

When an MQTT client requests to subscribe to a topic, the on_subscribe event will fire.

The ClientId is used to identify this client in subsequent actions.

The TopicFilter is the requested topic the client wishes to subscribe to.

The RequestedQoS is the client's preferred QoS level.

ReturnCode is used to confirm the maximum QoS level granted for this subscription or indicate a failure. This can be less than the client's RequestedQoS.

0x00 Success - Maximum QoS 0
0x01 Success - Maximum QoS 1
0x02 Success - Maximum QoS 2
0x80 Failure
When a client requests to unsubscribe from a topic, the on_unsubscribe event will fire, specifying which TopicFilter the client is unsubscribing from.

Incoming Messages

The MQTTBroker struct will automatically forward received messages to any subscribed clients. Events can be used to record the state of any incoming messages.

The on_message_receiving event fires when a message is initially received and contains message metadata.

The on_incoming_message_status event fires each time an incoming message's state is updated.

  • MessageId: A unique identifier for this message.
  • DUP: Whether or not the server has indicated that this message is a duplicate of another message received previously.
  • QoS: The message's QoS level.
  • Retain: Whether or not this message was received as a result of subscribing to a topic.
  • PacketId: The message packet Id. This will always be -1 if QoS is 0.
  • State: Information about the incoming message's state.
    • 6 - For an incoming QoS 1 message, which has been received from the client, but prior to sending the PUBACK for it. When the PUBACK is sent, the state will change to 10.
    • 7 - For an incoming QoS 2 message, which has been received from a client, but prior to sending the PUBREC for it,
    • 8 - For an incoming QoS 2 message, which has sent the PUBREC, but waiting to receive the PUBREL for it.
    • 9 - For an incoming QoS 2 message, which has received the PUBREL, but prior to sending the PUBCOMP for it. When the PUBCOMP is sent, the state will change to 10.
    • 10 - Message successfully received.
The on_message_received event fires when the message has completed the acknowledgment process with the client, depending on the QoS level.

Outgoing Messages

The MQTTBroker struct will automatically forward received messages to any subscribed clients. Events can be used to record the state of any incoming messages.

The on_message_sending event fires when a message is initially sent to a client and contains message metadata.

The on_outgoing_message_status event fires each time an outgoing message's state is updated.

  • MessageId: A unique identifier for this message.
  • DUP: Whether or not the server has indicated that this message is a duplicate of another message sent previously.
  • QoS: The message's QoS level.
  • Retain: Whether or not this message is a retained message.
  • PacketId: The message packet Id. This will always be -1 if QoS is 0.
  • State: Information about the outgoing message's state.
    • 1 - Outgoing message is waiting to be sent
    • 2 - For an outgoing QoS 1 message, which has been sent to the client and waiting for the PUBACK. When the PUBACK is received, the state will change to 10.
    • 3 - For an outgoing QoS 2 message, which has been sent to the client and waiting for the PUBREC.
    • 4 - For an outgoing QoS 2 message, which has received the PUBREC, prior to sending the PUBREL for it.
    • 5 - For an outgoing QoS 2 message, which has sent the PUBREL. When the PUBCOMP is received, the state will change to 10.
    • 10 - Message successfully sent.

Saving and Loading Sessions

The save_session method saves the current state of a client session, including message queues and subscription data, for later retrieval.

save_session returns a JSON string representing the client's subscriptions and messages. This can later be loaded via load_session to restore the client's state.

The format should be a JSON string with the following parameters: string sessiondata = broker.SaveSession("Client1"); // sessiondata may contain a JSON string with information like this: { "ClientId":"Client1", "Subscriptions":[{ // A collection of the client's subscribed topics "Topic":"topic name", "QoS":2, }], "IncomingMessages": [{ // A collection of incoming messages "MessageId":1, // The incoming message's ID "Topic":"A", // The incoming message's topic "Payload":"54657374", // hexadecimal message payload "QoS":2, // The incoming message's QoS level "DUP":false, // Whether this message is a duplicate "Retain":false, // Whether this is a retained message "PacketId":1, // This message's packet ID "State":3 // See IncomingMessageStatus event for State details }], "OutgoingMessages":[{ // A collection of outgoing messages "MessageId":2, "Topic":"A", "Payload":"54657374", "QoS":2, "DUP":false, "Retain":false, "PacketId":2, "State":3 // See OutgoingMessageStatus event for State details }] } // Later, the LoadSession method can be used to load the session data broker.LoadSession(sessiondata);

Object Lifetime

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

Possible values are as follows:

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 struct will select a provider depending on the current platform.

When Automatic is selected, on Windows, the struct will use the platform implementation. On Linux/macOS, the struct will use the internal implementation. When TLS 1.3 is enabled via SSLEnabledProtocols, the struct will always try and use the platform implementation. If the platform TLS 1.3 implementation is not available, the internal implementation will be used.

1 (mbpTLS) SSL/TLS over TCP
2 (mbpWS) Plaintext WebSocket
3 (mbpWSS) SSL/TLS over WebSocket

Certificate details can be provided via the following parameters:

SSLCertStoreType The type of certificate store for this certificate.
SSLCertStore The name of the certificate store for the client certificate. This can be null for plaintext.
SSLCertStorePassword If the type of certificate store requires a password, this field is used to specify the password needed to open the certificate store.
SSLCertSubject The subject of the certificate used for client authentication.
Multiple protocols can be enabled (each on a different port): // Plaintext TCP mqttbroker.AddBrokerListener("127.0.0.1", PLAIN_PORT, (int)MQTTBrokerProtocols.mbpTCP, 0, null, null, null); // TCP with TLS mqttbroker.AddBrokerListener("127.0.0.1", SSL_PORT, (int)MQTTBrokerProtocols.mbpTLS, (int)CertStoreTypes.cstPFXFile, "test1.pfx", "test", "*"); // Plaintext WebSocket mqttbroker.AddBrokerListener("127.0.0.1", WS_PORT, (int)MQTTBrokerProtocols.mbpWS, 0, null, null, null); // WebSocket with TLS mqttbroker.AddBrokerListener("127.0.0.1", WSS_PORT, (int)MQTTBrokerProtocols.mbpWSS, (int)CertStoreTypes.cstPFXFile, "test2.pfx", "test", "*");

config method (MQTTBroker Struct)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

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

Remarks

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

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the struct, access to these internal properties is provided through the config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

disconnect method (MQTTBroker Struct)

do_events method (MQTTBroker Struct)

This method processes events from the internal message queue.

Syntax

fn do_events(&self) -> Result<(), IPWorksIoTError>

Remarks

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

interrupt method (MQTTBroker Struct)

This method interrupts a synchronous send to the remote host.

Syntax

fn interrupt(&self, connection_id : i32) -> Result<(), IPWorksIoTError>

Remarks

This property is called using the Connection Id if you wish to interrupt a connection and stop a file from uploading without disconnecting the client connected to the struct. If you use send_file to upload a file, the struct will run synchronously on that Connection Id until it is completed.

load_session method (MQTTBroker Struct)

Restores session data for a specified client, enabling resumption of pending operations or message delivery.

Syntax

fn load_session(&self, session_info : &str) -> Result<(), IPWorksIoTError>

Remarks

The load_session method is used to load prior client session information if required. This can be used after shutting down a broker to preserve session data and ensure messages can be redelivered once the broker is restarted.

The save_session method can be used to save session data, and the resulting string can be provided to the load_session method.

The format should be a JSON string with the following parameters: { "ClientId":"Client1", "Subscriptions":[{ // A collection of the client's subscribed topics "Topic":"topic name", "QoS":2, }], "IncomingMessages": [{ // A collection of incoming messages "MessageId":1, // The incoming message's ID "Topic":"A", // The incoming message's topic "Payload":"54657374", // hexadecimal message payload "QoS":2, // The incoming message's QoS level "DUP":false, // Whether this message is a duplicate "Retain":false, // Whether this is a retained message "PacketId":1, // This message's packet ID "State":3 // See IncomingMessageStatus event for State details }], "OutgoingMessages":[{ // A collection of outgoing messages "MessageId":2, "Topic":"A", "Payload":"54657374", "QoS":2, "DUP":false, "Retain":false, "PacketId":2, "State":3 // See OutgoingMessageStatus event for State details }] } Session data can be saved with save_session, then later loaded with load_session string sessiondata = broker.SaveSession("Client1"); // sessiondata contains session information for Client1 ... broker.LoadSession(sessiondata);

Saves the current state of a client session, including message queues and subscription data, for later retrieval.

Syntax

fn save_session(&self, client_id : &str) ->  Result<String, IPWorksIoTError>

Remarks

Returns a JSON string representing the client's subscriptions and messages. This can later be loaded via load_session to restore the client's state.

The format should be a JSON string with the following parameters: string sessiondata = broker.SaveSession("Client1"); // sessiondata may contain a JSON string with information like this: { "ClientId":"Client1", "Subscriptions":[{ // A collection of the client's subscribed topics "Topic":"topic name", "QoS":2, }], "IncomingMessages": [{ // A collection of incoming messages "MessageId":1, // The incoming message's ID "Topic":"A", // The incoming message's topic "Payload":"54657374", // hexadecimal message payload "QoS":2, // The incoming message's QoS level "DUP":false, // Whether this message is a duplicate "Retain":false, // Whether this is a retained message "PacketId":1, // This message's packet ID "State":3 // See IncomingMessageStatus event for State details }], "OutgoingMessages":[{ // A collection of outgoing messages "MessageId":2, "Topic":"A", "Payload":"54657374", "QoS":2, "DUP":false, "Retain":false, "PacketId":2, "State":3 // See OutgoingMessageStatus event for State details }] }

start_listening method (MQTTBroker Struct)

This method starts listening for incoming connections.

Syntax

fn start_listening(&self) -> Result<(), IPWorksIoTError>

Remarks

This method begins listening for incoming connections on the port specified by local_port. Once listening, events will fire as new clients connect and data are transferred.

To stop listening for new connections, call stop_listening. To stop listening for new connections and to disconnect all existing clients, call shutdown.

stop_listening method (MQTTBroker Struct)

This method stops listening for new connections.

Syntax

fn stop_listening(&self) -> Result<(), IPWorksIoTError>

Remarks

This method stops listening for new connections. After being called, any new connection attempts will be rejected. Calling this method does not disconnect existing connections.

To stop listening and to disconnect all existing clients, call shutdown instead.

impl <'a> MQTTBroker<'a> {
  pub fn on_session_request(&self) -> &'a dyn MQTTBrokerSessionRequestEvent;
  pub fn set_on_session_request(&mut self, value : &'a dyn MQTTBrokerSessionRequestEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

UserName and Password contain authentication credentials which can be verified in this event.

IsNew denotes whether this is a clean session from the client.

Accept can be set to false to reject the client. Set Accept to true to accept this client.

Example: broker.OnSessionRequest += (s,e) => { // Check e.UserName and e.Password if needed // Set Accept to true to accept the session request e.Accept = true; };

on_ssl_client_authentication event (MQTTBroker Struct)

This event is fired when the client presents its credentials to the server.

Syntax

// MQTTBrokerSSLClientAuthenticationEventArgs carries the MQTTBroker SSLClientAuthentication event's parameters.
pub struct MQTTBrokerSSLClientAuthenticationEventArgs {
  fn connection_id(&self) -> i32
  fn cert_encoded(&self) -> &[u8]
  fn cert_subject(&self) -> &String
  fn cert_issuer(&self) -> &String
  fn status(&self) -> &String
  fn accept(&self) -> bool
  fn set_accept(&self, value : bool)
}

// MQTTBrokerSSLClientAuthenticationEvent defines the signature of the MQTTBroker SSLClientAuthentication event's handler function.
pub trait MQTTBrokerSSLClientAuthenticationEvent {
  fn on_ssl_client_authentication(&self, sender : MQTTBroker, e : &mut MQTTBrokerSSLClientAuthenticationEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> MQTTBroker<'a> {
  pub fn on_ssl_client_authentication(&self) -> &'a dyn MQTTBrokerSSLClientAuthenticationEvent;
  pub fn set_on_ssl_client_authentication(&mut self, value : &'a dyn MQTTBrokerSSLClientAuthenticationEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

This event enables the server to decide whether or not to continue. The accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or to close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.

When accept is False, status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, status contains the string "OK").

on_ssl_status event (MQTTBroker Struct)

This event is fired to show the progress of the secure connection.

Syntax

// MQTTBrokerSSLStatusEventArgs carries the MQTTBroker SSLStatus event's parameters.
pub struct MQTTBrokerSSLStatusEventArgs {
  fn connection_id(&self) -> i32
  fn message(&self) -> &String
}

// MQTTBrokerSSLStatusEvent defines the signature of the MQTTBroker SSLStatus event's handler function.
pub trait MQTTBrokerSSLStatusEvent {
  fn on_ssl_status(&self, sender : MQTTBroker, e : &mut MQTTBrokerSSLStatusEventArgs);
}

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

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. It is used to track the progress of the connection.

on_subscribe event (MQTTBroker Struct)

Fires when a client requests to subscribe to a topic.

Syntax

// MQTTBrokerSubscribeEventArgs carries the MQTTBroker Subscribe event's parameters.
pub struct MQTTBrokerSubscribeEventArgs {
  fn connection_id(&self) -> i32
  fn client_id(&self) -> &String
  fn topic_filter(&self) -> &String
  fn requested_qo_s(&self) -> i32
  fn return_code(&self) -> i32
  fn set_return_code(&self, value : i32)
}

// MQTTBrokerSubscribeEvent defines the signature of the MQTTBroker Subscribe event's handler function.
pub trait MQTTBrokerSubscribeEvent {
  fn on_subscribe(&self, sender : MQTTBroker, e : &mut MQTTBrokerSubscribeEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> MQTTBroker<'a> {
  pub fn on_subscribe(&self) -> &'a dyn MQTTBrokerSubscribeEvent;
  pub fn set_on_subscribe(&mut self, value : &'a dyn MQTTBrokerSubscribeEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

The ClientId is used to identify this client in subsequent actions.

The TopicFilter is the requested topic the client wishes to subscribe to.

The RequestedQoS is the client's preferred QoS level.

ReturnCode is used to confirm the maximum QoS level granted for this subscription or indicate a failure. This can be less than the client's RequestedQoS.

0x00 Success - Maximum QoS 0
0x01 Success - Maximum QoS 1
0x02 Success - Maximum QoS 2
0x80 Failure

on_unsubscribe event (MQTTBroker Struct)

Fires when a client unsubscribes from a topic, removing its subscription data.

Syntax

// MQTTBrokerUnsubscribeEventArgs carries the MQTTBroker Unsubscribe event's parameters.
pub struct MQTTBrokerUnsubscribeEventArgs {
  fn connection_id(&self) -> i32
  fn client_id(&self) -> &String
  fn topic_filter(&self) -> &String
}

// MQTTBrokerUnsubscribeEvent defines the signature of the MQTTBroker Unsubscribe event's handler function.
pub trait MQTTBrokerUnsubscribeEvent {
  fn on_unsubscribe(&self, sender : MQTTBroker, e : &mut MQTTBrokerUnsubscribeEventArgs);
}

impl <'a> MQTTBroker<'a> {
  pub fn on_unsubscribe(&self) -> &'a dyn MQTTBrokerUnsubscribeEvent;
  pub fn set_on_unsubscribe(&mut self, value : &'a dyn MQTTBrokerUnsubscribeEvent);
  ...
}

Remarks

The TopicFilter shows the topic this client is unsubscribing from.

Config Settings (MQTTBroker Struct)

The struct accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the struct, access to these internal properties is provided through the config method.

TCPClient Config Settings

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

FirewallPort:   The TCP port for the FirewallHost;.

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

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

FirewallType:   Determines the type of firewall to connect through.

Possible values are as follows:

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

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

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

If the FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword settings are used to connect and authenticate to the Firewall. If the authentication fails, the struct fails with an error.

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

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

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

NOTE: This value is not applicable in macOS.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

LingerTime:   Time in seconds to have the connection linger.

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

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

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

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface), setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the struct initiate connections (or accept in the case of server structs) only through that interface.

If the struct is connected, the local_host setting shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

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

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

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

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

This configuration setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port on the client side. An example is the remote shell (rsh) service in UNIX systems.

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

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

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

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

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

MaxTransferRate:   The transfer rate limit in bytes per second.

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

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

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

www.google.com;www.example.com

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

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

NOTE: This value is not applicable in Java.

TcpNoDelay:   Whether or not to delay when sending packets.

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

By default, this configuration setting is set to False.

UseIPv6:   Whether to use IPv6.

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

0 IPv4 only
1 IPv6 only
2 IPv6 with IPv4 fallback
UseNTLMv2:   Whether to use NTLM V2.

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

SSL Config Settings

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

When ssl_provider is set to Internal, this configuration setting controls whether Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) packets should be logged. By default, this configuration setting is False, as it is useful only for debugging purposes.

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

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

OpenSSLCADir:   The path to a directory containing CA certificates.

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

The path set by this property should point to a directory containing CA certificates in PEM format. The files each contain one CA certificate. The files are looked up by the CA subject name hash value, which must hence be available. If more than one CA certificate with the same name hash value exist, the extension must be different (e.g., 9d66eef0.0, 9d66eef0.1). OpenSSL recommends the use of the c_rehash utility to create the necessary links. Please refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.

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

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

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

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

... (CA certificate in base64 encoding) ...

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

Before, between, and after the certificate text is allowed, which can be used, for example, for descriptions of the certificates. Refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.

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

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

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

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

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

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

ReuseSSLSession:   Determines if the SSL session is reused.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SSLCipherStrength:   The minimum cipher strength used for bulk encryption.

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

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

Use this configuration setting with caution. Requesting a lower cipher strength than necessary could potentially cause serious security vulnerabilities in your application.

When the provider is OpenSSL, SSLCipherStrength is currently not supported. This functionality is instead made available through the OpenSSLCipherList configuration setting.

SSLClientCACerts:   A newline separated list of CA certificates to use during SSL client certificate validation.

This configuration setting is only applicable to server components (e.g., TCPServer) see SSLServerCACerts for client components (e.g., TCPClient). This setting can be used to optionally specify one or more CA certificates to be used when verifying the client certificate that is presented by the client during the SSL handshake when ssl_authenticate_clients is enabled. When verifying the client's certificate, the certificates trusted by the system will be used as part of the verification process. If the client's CA certificates are not installed to the trusted system store, they may be specified here so they are included when performing the verification process. This configuration setting should be set only if the client's CA certificates are not already trusted on the system and cannot be installed to the trusted system store.

The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:

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

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

This configuration setting enables the cipher suites to be used in SSL negotiation.

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

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

Multiple cipher suites are separated by semicolons.

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

  • TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
  • TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
  • TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

SSLEnabledCipherSuites is used together with SSLCipherStrength.

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

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

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

TLS1.312288 (Hex 3000)
TLS1.23072 (Hex C00) (Default - Client and Server)
TLS1.1768 (Hex 300) (Default - Client)

SSL3 48 (Hex 30)
SSL2 12 (Hex 0C)

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

SSLEnabledProtocols: Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 Notes:

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

In editions that are designed to run on Windows, ssl_provider can be set to Platform to use the platform implementation instead of the internal implementation. When configured in this manner, please note that the platform provider is supported only on Windows 11/Windows Server 2022 and up. The default internal provider is available on all platforms and is not restricted to any specific OS version.

If set to 1 (Platform provider), please be aware of the following notes:

  • The platform provider is available only on Windows 11/Windows Server 2022 and up.
  • SSLEnabledCipherSuites and other similar SSL configuration settings are not supported.
  • If SSLEnabledProtocols includes both TLS 1.3 and TLS 1.2, these restrictions are still applicable even if TLS 1.2 is negotiated. Enabling TLS 1.3 with the platform provider changes the implementation used for all TLS versions.

SSLEnabledProtocols: SSL2 and SSL3 Notes:

SSL 2.0 and 3.0 are not supported by the struct when the ssl_provider is set to internal. To use SSL 2.0 or SSL 3.0, the platform security API must have the protocols enabled and ssl_provider needs to be set to platform.

SSLEnableRenegotiation:   Whether the renegotiation_info SSL extension is supported.

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

This configuration setting is applicable only when ssl_provider is set to Internal.

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

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

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

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

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

When set, the struct will save the session secrets in the same format as the SSLKEYLOGFILE environment variable functionality used by most major browsers and tools, such as Chrome, Firefox, and cURL. This file can then be used in tools such as Wireshark to decrypt TLS traffic for debugging purposes. When writing to this file, the struct will only append, it will not overwrite previous values.

NOTE: This configuration setting is applicable only when ssl_provider is set to Internal.

SSLNegotiatedCipher:   Returns the negotiated cipher suite.

This configuration setting returns the cipher suite negotiated during the SSL handshake.

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

SSLNegotiatedCipherStrength:   Returns the negotiated cipher suite strength.

This configuration setting returns the strength of the cipher suite negotiated during the SSL handshake.

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

SSLNegotiatedCipherSuite:   Returns the negotiated cipher suite.

This configuration setting returns the cipher suite negotiated during the SSL handshake represented as a single string.

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

SSLNegotiatedKeyExchange:   Returns the negotiated key exchange algorithm.

This configuration setting returns the key exchange algorithm negotiated during the SSL handshake.

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

SSLNegotiatedKeyExchangeStrength:   Returns the negotiated key exchange algorithm strength.

This configuration setting returns the strength of the key exchange algorithm negotiated during the SSL handshake.

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

SSLNegotiatedVersion:   Returns the negotiated protocol version.

This configuration setting returns the protocol version negotiated during the SSL handshake.

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

SSLSecurityFlags:   Flags that control certificate verification.

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

0x00000001Ignore time validity status of certificate.
0x00000002Ignore time validity status of CTL.
0x00000004Ignore non-nested certificate times.
0x00000010Allow unknown certificate authority.
0x00000020Ignore wrong certificate usage.
0x00000100Ignore unknown certificate revocation status.
0x00000200Ignore unknown CTL signer revocation status.
0x00000400Ignore unknown certificate authority revocation status.
0x00000800Ignore unknown root revocation status.
0x00008000Allow test root certificate.
0x00004000Trust test root certificate.
0x80000000Ignore non-matching CN (certificate CN non-matching server name).

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

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

This configuration setting is only used by client components (e.g., TCPClient) see SSLClientCACerts for server components (e.g., TCPServer). This configuration setting can be used to optionally specify one or more CA certificates to be used when connecting to the server and verifying the server certificate. When verifying the server's certificate, the certificates trusted by the system will be used as part of the verification process. If the server's CA certificates are not installed to the trusted system store, they may be specified here so they are included when performing the verification process. This configuration setting should be set only if the server's CA certificates are not already trusted on the system and cannot be installed to the trusted system store.

The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw
... Intermediate Cert...
eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w

... Root Cert...
d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

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

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

When specified the struct will verify that the server certificate signature algorithm is among the values specified in this configuration setting. If the server certificate signature algorithm is unsupported, the struct fails with an error.

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

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

TLS12SupportedGroups:   The supported groups for ECC.

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

The default value is ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1.

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

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

TLS13KeyShareGroups:   The groups for which to pregenerate key shares.

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

The default value is set to balance common supported groups and the computational resources required to generate key shares. As a result, only some groups are included by default in this configuration setting.

NOTE: All supported groups can always be used during the handshake even if not listed here, but if a group is used that is not present in this list, it will incur an additional roundtrip and time to generate the key share for that group.

In most cases, this configuration setting does not need to be modified. This should be modified only if there is a specific reason to do so.

The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072

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

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

TLS13SignatureAlgorithms:   The allowed certificate signature algorithms.

This configuration setting holds a comma-separated list of allowed signature algorithms. Possible values include the following:

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

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

The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_x448,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072,ffdhe_4096,ffdhe_6144,ffdhe_8192,mlkem_512,mlkem_768,mlkem_1024,x25519_mlkem_768,secp256r1_mlkem_768

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

  • "ecdhe_x25519" (default)
  • "ecdhe_x448" (default)
  • "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
  • "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
  • "ecdhe_secp521r1" (default)
  • "ffdhe_2048" (default)
  • "ffdhe_3072" (default)
  • "ffdhe_4096" (default)
  • "ffdhe_6144" (default)
  • "ffdhe_8192" (default)
  • "mlkem_512" (default)
  • "mlkem_768" (default)
  • "mlkem_1024" (default)
  • "x25519_mlkem_768" (default)
  • "secp256r1_mlkem_768" (default)

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

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

Socket Config Settings

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

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

NOTE: This option is not valid for User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports.

FirewallData:   Used to send extra data to the firewall.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Base Config Settings

BuildInfo:   Information about the product's build.

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

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

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

LicenseInfo:   Information about the current license.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a struct is using. It will return the following information:

  • Product: The product the license is for.
  • Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
  • License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
  • License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
  • Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.
MaskSensitiveData:   Whether sensitive data is masked in log messages.

In certain circumstances it may be beneficial to mask sensitive data, like passwords, in log messages. Set this to true to mask sensitive data. The default is true.

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

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

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

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

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