TCPServer Component
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The TCPServer Component is a generic Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) server component based on an asynchronous, event-driven architecture. It is designed to balance the load between connections for a fast, powerful server.
Syntax
TipwTCPServer
Remarks
The TCPServer Component supports both plaintext and Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) connections. When connecting over Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) the SSLServerAuthentication event allows you to check the server identity and other security attributes. The SSLStatus event provides information about the SSL handshake. Additional SSL-related settings are also supported through the Config method. The SSLCert properties are used to select a certificate for the server.
Note: A valid certificate MUST be selected before the server can function.
TCPServer is the server complement of TCPClient, which is used to create client applications. They share a common design philosophy and interface. We expect you will find TCPServer as easy to use as TCPClient.
By default, each instance of TCPServer can handle up to 1,000 simultaneous incoming connections. This number may be increased up to 100,000 or decreased to a lower value by using the MaxConnections configuration setting.
The connections are identified by a ConnectionId, an Id generated by the component to identify each connection. This Id is unique to each connection. TCPServer's events also have ConnectionId as a parameter to identify the connection they relate to.
Our main goal in designing TCPServer was to make it easy to use without sacrificing performance. The component has a minimum number of properties, and six events: ConnectionRequest, Connected, DataIn, Disconnected, ReadyToSend, and Error.
TCPServer can start to listen on a port by setting the Listening property to True. When a remote host asks for a connection, the ConnectionRequest event is fired. At that point, the connection can either be accepted or rejected. If the connection is accepted, a ConnectionId is assigned, and communication can start. From this point on, the operation is very similar to TCPClient. Data are sent by assigning the data string to the Text parameter of the Send method. The address and port of the incoming connection can be found by querying the RemoteHost and RemotePort properties.
Note: Server components are designed to process events as they occur. To ensure that events are processed in a timely manner, DoEvents should be called in a loop after the server is started.

Data Type
Integer
AcceptData Property (TCPServer Component)
This property indicates whether data reception is currently enabled.
Syntax
__property bool AcceptData[int ConnectionId] = { read=FAcceptData };
Default Value
True
Remarks
This property indicates whether data reception is currently enabled. When false, data reception is disabled and the DataIn event will not fire for the connection. Use the PauseData and ProcessData methods to pause and resume data reception.
The ConnectionId parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the ConnectionCount property.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Data Type
Boolean
BytesSent Property (TCPServer Component)
This property shows how many bytes were sent after calling Send or SendBytes .
Syntax
__property int BytesSent[int ConnectionId] = { read=FBytesSent };
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property shows how many bytes were sent after calling Send or SendBytes. Please see Send or SendBytes for more information.
Note: This property will always return 0 when the component is operating in the synchronous mode (i.e., the Timeout property is set to a positive value).
The ConnectionId parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the ConnectionCount property.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Data Type
Integer
Connected Property (TCPServer Component)
This property indicates the status of individual connections.
Syntax
__property bool Connected[int ConnectionId] = { read=FConnected };
Default Value
False
Remarks
This property indicates the status of individual connections.
When true, the connection is established. Use the Disconnect method to disconnect an existing connection.
The ConnectionId parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the ConnectionCount property.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Data Type
Boolean
ConnectionId Property (TCPServer Component)
This property contains an identifier generated by the component to identify each connection.
Syntax
__property int ConnectionId[int ConnectionId] = { read=FConnectionId };
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property contains an identifier generated by the component to identify each connection. This identifier is unique to this connection.
The ConnectionId parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the ConnectionCount property.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Data Type
Integer
EOL Property (TCPServer Component)
The EOL property is used to define boundaries in the input stream using the value of the property.
Syntax
__property String EOL[int ConnectionId] = { read=FEOL, write=FSetEOL }; __property DynamicArray<Byte> EOLB[int ConnectionId] = { read=FEOLB, write=FSetEOLB };
Default Value
""
Remarks
The EOL property is used to define boundaries in the input stream using the value of the property.
The EOL property is especially useful with ASCII files. By setting it to CRLF ("\r\n") , the incoming ASCII text stream can be split into lines. In this case, one event is fired for each line received (as well as in packet boundaries). The CRLF ("\r\n") . bytes are discarded.
The EOL property is a binary string. This means that it can be more than one byte long, and it can contain NULL bytes.
The ConnectionId parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the ConnectionCount property.
This property is not available at design time.
Data Type
Byte Array
IdleTimeout Property (TCPServer Component)
This property contains the idle timeout for this connection.
Syntax
__property int IdleTimeout[int ConnectionId] = { read=FIdleTimeout, write=FSetIdleTimeout };
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property contains the idle timeout for this connection. This property is similar to DefaultIdleTimeout but may be set on a per-connection basis to override DefaultIdleTimeout. This property specifies the idle timeout (in seconds) for the connected client. When set to a positive value, the component will disconnect idle clients after the specified timeout.
This applies only to clients that have not sent to received data within the specified number of seconds.
If set to 0 (default), no idle timeout is applied.
Note: DoEvents must be called for the component to check existing connections.
The ConnectionId parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the ConnectionCount property.
This property is not available at design time.
Data Type
Integer
LocalAddress Property (TCPServer Component)
This property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is passing.
Syntax
__property String LocalAddress[int ConnectionId] = { read=FLocalAddress };
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is passing.
LocalAddress is important for multihomed hosts so that it can be used to find the particular network interface through which an individual connection is going.
The ConnectionId parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the ConnectionCount property.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Data Type
String
ReadyToSend Property (TCPServer Component)
This property indicates whether the component is ready to send data.
Syntax
__property bool ReadyToSend[int ConnectionId] = { read=FReadyToSend };
Default Value
false
Remarks
This property indicates whether the component is ready to send data.
This is true after a client connects but will become false after a failed call to Send or SendBytes. After a failed call to Send or SendBytes, the ReadyToSend event will fire and this property will be true when data can be sent again.
The ConnectionId parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the ConnectionCount property.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Data Type
Boolean
RecordLength Property (TCPServer Component)
This property holds the current record length set by ChangeRecordLength .
Syntax
__property int RecordLength[int ConnectionId] = { read=FRecordLength };
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property holds the current record length set by ChangeRecordLength. When this value is a positive number, the component will accumulate data until RecordLength is reached and only then will fire the DataIn event with the data of length RecordLength. This allows data to be received as records of known length. This value can be changed at any time by calling ChangeRecordLength, including within the DataIn event.
A value of 0 (default) means this setting is not used.
The ConnectionId parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the ConnectionCount property.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Data Type
Integer
RemoteHost Property (TCPServer Component)
This property shows the IP address of the remote host through which the connection is coming.
Syntax
__property String RemoteHost[int ConnectionId] = { read=FRemoteHost };
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property shows the IP address of the remote host through which the connection is coming.
The connection must be valid or an error will be fired.
If the component 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.
The ConnectionId parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the ConnectionCount property.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Data Type
String
RemotePort Property (TCPServer Component)
This property shows the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port on the remote host through which the connection is coming.
Syntax
__property int RemotePort[int ConnectionId] = { read=FRemotePort };
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property shows the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port on the remote host through which the connection is coming.
The connection must be valid or an error will be fired.
The ConnectionId parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the ConnectionCount property.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Data Type
Integer
SingleLineMode Property (TCPServer Component)
This property shows the special mode for line-oriented protocols.
Syntax
__property bool SingleLineMode[int ConnectionId] = { read=FSingleLineMode, write=FSetSingleLineMode };
Default Value
False
Remarks
This property shows the special mode for line-oriented protocols. When SingleLineMode is True, the component treats the incoming data stream as lines separated by carriage return (CR), line feed (LF), or CRLF. The EOL property is ignored.
The ConnectionId parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the ConnectionCount property.
This property is not available at design time.
Data Type
Boolean
Timeout Property (TCPServer Component)
This property specifies a timeout for the component.
Syntax
__property int Timeout[int ConnectionId] = { read=FTimeout, write=FSetTimeout };
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property specifies a timeout for the component.
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 component will wait for the operation to complete before returning control. The component will handle any potential WOULDBLOCK errors internally and automatically retry the operation for a maximum of Timeout seconds.
The component 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 component raises an exception.
Note: By default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, that is, the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.
The default value for the Timeout property is 0 (asynchronous operation).
The ConnectionId parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the ConnectionCount property.
This property is not available at design time.
Data Type
Integer
UserData Property (TCPServer Component)
The UserData property holds connection-specific user-specified data.
Syntax
__property String UserData[int ConnectionId] = { read=FUserData, write=FSetUserData }; __property DynamicArray<Byte> UserDataB[int ConnectionId] = { read=FUserDataB, write=FSetUserDataB };
Default Value
""
Remarks
The UserData property holds connection-specific user-specified data.
User-specified data may be set or retrieved at any point while the connection is valid. This provides a simple way to associate arbitrary data with a specific connection.
The ConnectionId parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the ConnectionCount property.
This property is not available at design time.
Data Type
Byte Array
DefaultEOL Property (TCPServer Component)
This property includes a default end-of-line (EOL) value to be used by incoming connections.
Syntax
__property String DefaultEOL = { read=FDefaultEOL, write=FSetDefaultEOL }; __property DynamicArray<Byte> DefaultEOLB = { read=FDefaultEOLB, write=FSetDefaultEOLB };
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property contains a default end-of-line (EOL) value to be used by incoming connections. Once the component accepts and establishes an inbound connection, it will set that connection's EOL to the value in this property. By default, this value is empty (""), meaning that data will be fired as it is received.
Data Type
Byte Array
DefaultIdleTimeout Property (TCPServer Component)
This property includes the default idle timeout for inactive clients.
Syntax
__property int DefaultIdleTimeout = { read=FDefaultIdleTimeout, write=FSetDefaultIdleTimeout };
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property specifies the idle timeout (in seconds) for clients. When set to a positive value, the component will disconnect idle clients after the specified timeout.
This applies only to clients that have not sent or received data within DefaultIdleTimeout seconds.
If set to 0 (default), no idle timeout is applied.
Note: DoEvents must be called for the component to check existing connections.
Data Type
Integer
DefaultMaxLineLength Property (TCPServer Component)
The property includes the default maximum line length value for inbound connections.
Syntax
__property int DefaultMaxLineLength = { read=FDefaultMaxLineLength, write=FSetDefaultMaxLineLength };
Default Value
2048
Remarks
This property controls the default size of an internal buffer that holds received data while waiting for an end-of-line (EOL) string.
The minimum value for this property is 256 bytes. The default value is 2048 bytes.
Data Type
Integer
DefaultSingleLineMode Property (TCPServer Component)
This property tells the component whether or not to treat new connections as line oriented.
Syntax
__property bool DefaultSingleLineMode = { read=FDefaultSingleLineMode, write=FSetDefaultSingleLineMode };
Default Value
False
Remarks
This property instructs the component whether or not to treat newly established connections as line-oriented protocols. If this value is True, newly accepted connections will read the incoming data stream as lines separated by a carriage return line feed (CRLF), carriage return (CR), or line feed (LF) and will ignore the end of lines (EOLs).
Data Type
Boolean
DefaultTimeout Property (TCPServer Component)
This property includes an initial timeout value to be used by incoming connections.
Syntax
__property int DefaultTimeout = { read=FDefaultTimeout, write=FSetDefaultTimeout };
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property is used by the component to set the operational timeout value of all inbound connections once they are established.
By default, the timeout is 0, meaning that all inbound connections will behave asynchronously.
Data Type
Integer
KeepAlive Property (TCPServer Component)
When True, KEEPALIVE packets are enabled (for long connections).
Syntax
__property bool KeepAlive = { read=FKeepAlive, write=FSetKeepAlive };
Default Value
False
Remarks
This property enables the SO_KEEPALIVE option on the incoming connections. This option prevents long connections from timing out in case of inactivity.
Note: System Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack implementations are not required to support SO_KEEPALIVE.
This property is shared among incoming connections. When the property is set, the corresponding value is set for incoming connections as they are accepted. Existing connections are not modified.
Data Type
Boolean
Linger Property (TCPServer Component)
When set to True, connections are terminated gracefully.
Syntax
__property bool Linger = { read=FLinger, write=FSetLinger };
Default Value
True
Remarks
This property controls how a connection is closed. The default is True. In this case, the connection is closed only after all the data are sent. Setting it to False forces an abrupt (hard) disconnection. Any data that were in the sending queue may be lost.
The default behavior (which is also the default mode for stream sockets) might result in an indefinite delay in closing the connection. Although the component returns control immediately, the system might indefinitely hold system resources until all pending data are sent (even after your application closes). This means that valuable system resources might be wasted.
Setting this property to False forces an immediate disconnection. If you know that the other side has received all the data you have sent (e.g., by a client acknowledgment), then setting this property to False might be the appropriate course of action.
This property is shared among incoming connections. When the property is set, the corresponding value is set for incoming connections as they are accepted. Existing connections are not modified.
Data Type
Boolean
Listening Property (TCPServer Component)
This property indicates whether the component is listening for incoming connections on LocalPort.
Syntax
__property bool Listening = { read=FListening };
Default Value
False
Remarks
This property indicates whether the component is listening for connections on the port specified by the LocalPort property. Use the StartListening and StopListening methods to control whether the component is listening.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Data Type
Boolean
LocalHost Property (TCPServer Component)
This property includes the name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.
Syntax
__property String LocalHost = { read=FLocalHost, write=FSetLocalHost };
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 multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the component initiate connections (or accept in the case of server components) only through that interface. It is recommended to provide an IP address rather than a hostname when setting this property to ensure the desired interface is used.
If the component 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 multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).
Note: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.
Data Type
String
LocalPort Property (TCPServer Component)
This property includes the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port in the local host where the component listens.
Syntax
__property int LocalPort = { read=FLocalPort, write=FSetLocalPort };
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property must be set before the component can start listening. If its value is 0, then the TCP/IP subsystem picks a port number at random. The port number can be found by checking the value of this property after the component is listening (i.e., after successfully assigning True to the Listening property).
The service port is not shared among servers so two components cannot be listening on the same port at the same time.
Data Type
Integer
SSLAuthenticateClients Property (TCPServer Component)
If set to True, the server asks the client(s) for a certificate.
Syntax
__property bool SSLAuthenticateClients = { read=FSSLAuthenticateClients, write=FSetSSLAuthenticateClients };
Default Value
false
Remarks
This property is used in conjunction with the SSLClientAuthentication event. Please refer to the documentation of the SSLClientAuthentication event for details.

This method stops listening for new connections.
Syntax
void __fastcall StopListening();
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.
Connected Event (TCPServer Component)
This event is fired immediately after a connection completes (or fails).
Syntax
typedef struct { int ConnectionId; int StatusCode; String Description; } TipwTCPServerConnectedEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwTCPServerConnectedEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwTCPServerConnectedEventParams *e); __property TipwTCPServerConnectedEvent OnConnected = { read=FOnConnected, write=FOnConnected };
Remarks
If the connection is made normally, StatusCode is 0, and Description is "OK".
If the connection fails, StatusCode has the error code returned by the system. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the system error.
Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.
ConnectionRequest Event (TCPServer Component)
This event is fired when a request for connection comes from a remote host.
Syntax
typedef struct { String Address; int Port; bool Accept; } TipwTCPServerConnectionRequestEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwTCPServerConnectionRequestEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwTCPServerConnectionRequestEventParams *e); __property TipwTCPServerConnectionRequestEvent OnConnectionRequest = { read=FOnConnectionRequest, write=FOnConnectionRequest };
Remarks
This event indicates an incoming connection. The connection is accepted by default. Address and Port will contain information about the remote host requesting the inbound connection. If you want to refuse it, you can set the Accept parameter to False.
DataIn Event (TCPServer Component)
This event is fired when data come in.
Syntax
typedef struct { int ConnectionId; String Text; DynamicArray<Byte> TextB; bool EOL; } TipwTCPServerDataInEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwTCPServerDataInEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwTCPServerDataInEventParams *e); __property TipwTCPServerDataInEvent OnDataIn = { read=FOnDataIn, write=FOnDataIn };
Remarks
Trapping the DataIn event is your only chance to get the data coming from the other end of the connection specified by ConnectionId. The incoming data are provided through the Text parameter.
EOL indicates whether or not the EOL string was found at the end of Text. If the EOL string was found, then EOL is True.
If Text is part of the data portion of length larger than either DefaultMaxLineLength or with no EOL strings in it, then EOL is False. Please note that this means that one or more DataIn events with EOL set to False can be received during a connection.
If the EOL property is "" (empty string), then EOL can be disregarded (it is always True).
Note: Events are not re-entrant. Performing time-consuming operations within this event will prevent it from firing again in a timely manner and may affect overall performance.
Disconnected Event (TCPServer Component)
This event is fired when a connection is closed.
Syntax
typedef struct { int ConnectionId; int StatusCode; String Description; } TipwTCPServerDisconnectedEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwTCPServerDisconnectedEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwTCPServerDisconnectedEventParams *e); __property TipwTCPServerDisconnectedEvent OnDisconnected = { read=FOnDisconnected, write=FOnDisconnected };
Remarks
If the connection is broken normally, StatusCode is 0, and Description is "OK".
If the connection is broken for any other reason, StatusCode has the error code returned by the system. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the system error.
Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.
Error Event (TCPServer Component)
This event fires information about errors during data delivery.
Syntax
typedef struct { int ConnectionId; int ErrorCode; String Description; } TipwTCPServerErrorEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwTCPServerErrorEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwTCPServerErrorEventParams *e); __property TipwTCPServerErrorEvent OnError = { read=FOnError, write=FOnError };
Remarks
The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally, the component raises an exception.
ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.
ConnectionId indicates the connection for which the error is applicable.
ReadyToSend Event (TCPServer Component)
This event is fired when the component is ready to send data.
Syntax
typedef struct { int ConnectionId; } TipwTCPServerReadyToSendEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwTCPServerReadyToSendEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwTCPServerReadyToSendEventParams *e); __property TipwTCPServerReadyToSendEvent OnReadyToSend = { read=FOnReadyToSend, write=FOnReadyToSend };
Remarks
The ReadyToSend event indicates that the underlying Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP subsystem is ready to accept data after a failed Send. This event is also fired immediately after a connection is established.
SSLClientAuthentication Event (TCPServer Component)
This event is fired when the client presents its credentials to the server.
Syntax
typedef struct { int ConnectionId; String CertEncoded; DynamicArray<Byte> CertEncodedB; String CertSubject; String CertIssuer; String Status; bool Accept; } TipwTCPServerSSLClientAuthenticationEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwTCPServerSSLClientAuthenticationEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwTCPServerSSLClientAuthenticationEventParams *e); __property TipwTCPServerSSLClientAuthenticationEvent OnSSLClientAuthentication = { read=FOnSSLClientAuthentication, write=FOnSSLClientAuthentication };
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").
SSLConnectionRequest Event (TCPServer Component)
This event fires when a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection is requested.
Syntax
typedef struct { int ConnectionId; String SupportedCipherSuites; String SupportedSignatureAlgs; int CertStoreType; String CertStore; String CertPassword; String CertSubject; } TipwTCPServerSSLConnectionRequestEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwTCPServerSSLConnectionRequestEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwTCPServerSSLConnectionRequestEventParams *e); __property TipwTCPServerSSLConnectionRequestEvent OnSSLConnectionRequest = { read=FOnSSLConnectionRequest, write=FOnSSLConnectionRequest };
Remarks
This event fires when an SSL connection is requested and SSLProvider is set to Internal. This event provides an opportunity to select an alternative certificate to the connecting client. This event does not fire when SSLProvider is set to Platform.
This event allows the component to be configured to use both RSA and ECDSA certificates depending on the connecting client's capabilities.
ConnectionId is the connection Id of the client requesting the connection.
SupportedCipherSuites is a comma-separated list of cipher suites that the client supports.
SupportedSignatureAlgs is a comma-separated list of certificate signature algorithms that the client supports.
CertStoreType is the store type of the alternate certificate to use for this connection. The component supports both public and private keys in a variety of formats. When the cstAuto value is used, the component 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 component. 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 and set to the PIN. Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key:
|
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. |
CertStore is the store name or location of the alternate certificate to use for this connection.
Designations of certificate stores are platform dependent.
The following designations are the most common User and Machine certificate stores in Windows:
MY | A certificate store holding personal certificates with their associated private keys. |
CA | Certifying authority certificates. |
ROOT | Root 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).
CertPassword is the password of the certificate store containing the alternate certificate to use for this connection.
CertSubject is the subject of the alternate certificate to use for this connection.
The special value * matches any subject and will select the first certificate in the 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:
Field | Meaning |
CN | Common Name. This is commonly a hostname like www.server.com. |
O | Organization |
OU | Organizational Unit |
L | Locality |
S | State |
C | Country |
E | Email Address |
If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.
SSLStatus Event (TCPServer Component)
This event is fired to show the progress of the secure connection.
Syntax
typedef struct { int ConnectionId; String Message; } TipwTCPServerSSLStatusEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TipwTCPServerSSLStatusEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TipwTCPServerSSLStatusEventParams *e); __property TipwTCPServerSSLStatusEvent OnSSLStatus = { read=FOnSSLStatus, write=FOnSSLStatus };
Remarks
The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. It is used to track the progress of the connection.
Config Settings (TCPServer Component)
The component 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 component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.TCPServer Config Settings
When a client connects, the client's address is checked against the list defined here. If there is no match, the ConnectionRequest event fires with an Accept value set to false. If no action is taken within the ConnectionRequest event, the client will be disconnected.
When a client connects, the client's address is checked against the list defined here. If there is a match, the ConnectionRequest event fires with an Accept value set to false. If no action is taken within the ConnectionRequest event, the client will not be connected.
Note: This is applicable only to incoming SSL connections. This should be set only if there is a specific reason to do so.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the component is activated, the InBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same thing will happen if you attempt to make it too large or too small.
InBufferSize is shared among incoming connections. When the property is set, the corresponding value is set for incoming connections as they are accepted. Existing connections are not modified.
Note: This value is not applicable in macOS.
Note: Unix/Linux operating systems limit the number of simultaneous connections to 1024.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the component is activated the OutBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same thing will happen if you attempt to make it too large or too small.
OutBufferSize is shared among incoming connections. When the property is set, the corresponding value is set for incoming connections as they are accepted. Existing connections are not modified.
By default, this configuration setting is set to False.
0 | IPv4 Only |
1 | IPv6 Only |
2 | IPv6 and IPv4 |
SSL Config Settings
When enabled, SSL packet logs are output using the SSLStatus event, which will fire each time an SSL packet is sent or received.
Enabling this configuration setting has no effect if SSLProvider is set to Platform.
The path set by this property should point to a directory containing CA certificates in PEM format. The files each contain one CA certificate. The files are looked up by the CA subject name hash value, which must hence be available. If more than one CA certificate with the same name hash value exist, the extension must be different (e.g., 9d66eef0.0, 9d66eef0.1). OpenSSL recommends the use of the c_rehash utility to create the necessary links. Please refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.
The file set by this property should contain a list of CA certificates in PEM format. The file can contain several CA certificates identified by the following sequences:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
... (CA certificate in base64 encoding) ...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
Before, between, and after the certificate text is allowed, which can be used, for example, for descriptions of the certificates. Refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.
The format of this string is described in the OpenSSL man page ciphers(1) section "CIPHER LIST FORMAT". Please refer to it for details. The default string "DEFAULT" is determined at compile time and is normally equivalent to "ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+SSLv2:@STRENGTH".
By default, OpenSSL uses the device file "/dev/urandom" to seed the PRNG, and setting OpenSSLPrngSeedData is not required. If set, the string specified is used to seed the PRNG.
If set to True, the component 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 component is the same.
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ...

When set to 0 (default), the CRL check will not be performed by the component. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the CRL check, but it will continue without an error if the server's certificate does not support CRL. When set to 2, it will perform the CRL check and will throw an error if CRL is not supported.
This configuration setting is supported only in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is supported only on Windows operating systems.
When set to 0 (default), the component will not perform an OCSP check. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the OCSP check, but it will continue without an error if the server's certificate does not support OCSP. When set to 2, it will perform the OCSP check and will throw an error if OCSP is not supported.
This configuration setting is supported only in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is supported only on Windows operating systems.
Note: This configuration setting contains the minimum cipher strength requested from the security library. The actual cipher strength used for the connection is shown by the SSLStatus event.
Use this configuration setting with caution. Requesting a lower cipher strength than necessary could potentially cause serious security vulnerabilities in your application.
When the provider is OpenSSL, SSLCipherStrength is currently not supported. This functionality is instead made available through the OpenSSLCipherList configuration setting.
The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ... Intermediate Cert ... eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj -----END CERTIFICATE----- \r \n -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEFjCCAv6gAwIBAgIQetu1SMxpnENAnnOz1P+PtTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBp ... Root Cert ... d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA -----END CERTIFICATE-----
By default, the enabled cipher suites will include all available ciphers ("*").
The special value "*" means that the component 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 include the following:
obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=*");
obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=CALG_AES_256");

When TLS 1.3 is negotiated (see SSLEnabledProtocols), only the following cipher suites are supported:
- TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
- TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
- TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
SSLEnabledCipherSuites is used together with SSLCipherStrength.
Not all supported protocols are enabled by default. The default value is 4032 for client components, and 3072 for server components. To specify a combination of enabled protocol versions set this config to the binary OR of one or more of the following values:
TLS1.3 | 12288 (Hex 3000) |
TLS1.2 | 3072 (Hex C00) (Default - Client and Server) |
TLS1.1 | 768 (Hex 300) (Default - Client) |
TLS1 | 192 (Hex C0) (Default - Client) |
SSL3 | 48 (Hex 30) |
SSL2 | 12 (Hex 0C) |
Note that only TLS 1.2 is enabled for server components that accept incoming connections. This adheres to industry standards to ensure a secure connection. Client components enable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2 by default and will negotiate the highest mutually supported version when connecting to a server, which should be TLS 1.2 in most cases.
SSLEnabledProtocols: Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 Notes:
By default when TLS 1.3 is enabled, the component will use the internal TLS implementation when the SSLProvider is set to Automatic for all editions.
In editions that 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 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 component when the SSLProvider is set to internal. To use SSL 2.0 or SSL 3.0, the platform security API must have the protocols enabled and SSLProvider needs to be set to platform.
This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLProvider is set to Internal.
If set to True, all certificates returned by the server will be present in the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event. This includes the leaf certificate, any intermediate certificate, and the root certificate.
When set, the component 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 component will only append, it will not overwrite previous values.
Note: This configuration setting is applicable only when SSLProvider is set to Internal.

This functionality is currently not available when the provider is OpenSSL.
The value of this configuration setting is a newline-separated (CR/LF) list of certificates. For instance:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ... Intermediate Cert... eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj -----END CERTIFICATE----- \r \n -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEFjCCAv6gAwIBAgIQetu1SMxpnENAnnOz1P+PtTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBp ... Root Cert... d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA -----END CERTIFICATE-----
When specified the component 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 component raises an exception.
The format of this value is a comma-separated list of hash-signature combinations. For instance:
component.SSLProvider = TCPClientSSLProviders.sslpInternal;
component.Config("SSLEnabledProtocols=3072"); //TLS 1.2
component.Config("TLS12SignatureAlgorithms=sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa");
The default value for this configuration setting is sha512-ecdsa,sha512-rsa,sha512-dsa,sha384-ecdsa,sha384-rsa,sha384-dsa,sha256-ecdsa,sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha224-ecdsa,sha224-rsa,sha224-dsa,sha1-ecdsa,sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa.
To not restrict the server's certificate signature algorithm, specify an empty string as the value for this configuration setting, which will cause the signature_algorithms TLS 1.2 extension to not be sent.
The default value is ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1.
When using TLS 1.2 and SSLProvider is set to Internal, the values refer to the supported groups for ECC. The following values are supported:
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp521r1" (default)
The default value is set to balance common supported groups and the computational resources required to generate key shares. As a result, only some groups are included by default in this 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"
- "ed25519" (default)
- "ed448" (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 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:
