OAuth Component
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The OAuth component is used to authorize a client and provide an authorization string used in future requests.
Syntax
nsoftware.IPWorks.OAuth
Remarks
The OAuth 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 OAuth component provides an easy way to obtain an authorization string for future requests to a service. The component implements an OAuth 2.0 client.
To begin using the component, first register your application with the service you want to use. During this process, obtain a ClientId and ClientSecret as well as the ServerAuthURL and ServerTokenURL for the authorization server. Then set ClientProfile to the client profile that best describes your situation and call GetAuthorization.
The following client profiles are currently supported by the component:
- Application (desktop application)
- Web (server-side application, such as a website)
- Device (an application without browser access, such as a game console)
- Mobile (phone or tablet application)
- JWT (server-to-server authentication using a JWT Bearer Token, such as Google service account authentication)
Application Profile
The Application profile is applicable to applications that are run directly by the user. For instance, a Windows form application would use the Application profile. To authorize your application (client) using the Application profile, use the following steps:
First, set ClientProfile to ocpApplication. This defines the profile the component will use. Set the ClientId, ClientSecret, ServerAuthURL, and ServerTokenURL to the values you obtained when registering your application.
Second, call GetAuthorization to begin the authorization process. When GetAuthorization is called, the component will build the URL to which the user will be directed and fire the LaunchBrowser event. The component will then launch the browser using the command and URL shown in the LaunchBrowser event and await the response. The duration for which the component will wait for a response is defined by BrowserResponseTimeout.
Third, the user will interact with the browser to authenticate and grant access to the connecting application. The user will then be redirected back to an embedded web server that was automatically started when GetAuthorization was called. At this time, the ReturnURL event will fire. This event provides an opportunity to provide a custom response to your user that they will see in their browser.
Fourth, the component will then automatically exchange the grant that was returned by the authorization server for the access token using the HTTP endpoint specified in ServerTokenURL.
The authorization is now complete and the GetAuthorization method will return the authorization string. The authorization string can then be used with any of our components by simply setting the returned value to the authorization property before making a request.
The following is a simple example:
component.ClientId = "CLIENT_ID";
component.ClientSecret = "CLIENT_ID";
component.ServerAuthURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth";
component.ServerTokenURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token";
HTTP.Authorization = component.GetAuthorization();
HTTP.Get("https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo");
Web Profile
The Web profile is applicable to applications that are run on the server side when the user uses the application from a web browser. To authorize your application (client) using this profile, use the following steps:
First, set ClientProfile to ocpWeb. This defines the profile the component will use. Set the ClientId, ClientSecret, ServerAuthURL, and ServerTokenURL to the values you obtained when registering your application. Set ReturnURL to the page on your site that will be the endpoint the user is redirected back to after authentication.
Second, call GetAuthorizationURL. This will return a URL to which the user should be redirected. Redirect the user to this URL.
Third, after the user authenticates and is returned to the page on your site specified by ReturnURL, parse the "code" query string parameter from the incoming request to get the authorization code from the authorization server. Then, set AuthorizationCode property to the parsed value.
Fourth, after AuthorizationCode is set, call GetAuthorization to exchange the code specified in AuthorizationCode for a token from the server specified by ServerTokenURL. GetAuthorization will then return the authorization string. The authorization string can be used with any of our components by simply setting the returned value to the authorization property before making a request.
Device Profile
The Device profile is applicable to applications that are run on devices for which a web browser cannot be used. For example, a game console would use the Device profile. To authorize your application (client) using the device client profile use the following steps:
First, set ClientProfile to ocpDevice. This defines the profile the component will use. Set the ClientId, ClientSecret, ServerAuthURL, and ServerTokenURL to the values you obtained when registering your application. Do not set ReturnURL.
Second, call GetAuthorizationURL. The component will automatically make a request to ServerAuthURL to obtain a user code for the device. The GetAuthorizationURL method will return the URL your user must visit from another device or computer that has web browser support. The GetAuthorizationURL method will also populate DeviceUserCode. This device user code must be provided to the user. The user will enter the code at the URL returned by GetAuthorizationURL.
Third, at this time, call GetAuthorization. The component will begin polling the server specified in ServerTokenURL. The polling interval is specified (in seconds) by the PollingInterval setting.
Fourth, after the user has authenticated, the GetAuthorization method will return the authorization string. To use the authorization string with any of our components, simply pass this value to the authorization property before making the request.
Mobile Profile
The Mobile profile is applicable to applications that are run on devices for which a web browser can be used. For instance, a mobile phone or tablet would use the Mobile profile. The behavior when using this profile is very similar to the Application profile. The only difference between the Mobile and Application profiles is the way the browser is launched. When set to the Mobile profile, the LaunchBrowser event will fire but the component will not attempt to launch the browser automatically. The browser must be launched manually from code. This behavior is the only difference between the Mobile and Application profiles. Please read the steps for the Application profile for a more detailed look at the process.
JWT Bearer Token (Server-to-Server) Profile
The JWT (JSON Web Token) Bearer Token profile is available for server-to-server authentication. For instance this may be used by web applications to access a Google service. In this case, the application will access data on behalf of the service account, not the end user. End-user interaction is not required.
First, specify AuthorizationScope ServerTokenURL and JWTServiceProvider.
Second, specify JWT-specific values. The use of the JWT profile also requires additional configuration settings to be specified, including a certificate with private key used to sign the JWT. Either specify the JWTJSONKey configuration setting, which will parse the necessary information automatically, or manually specify the following configuration settings:
- JWTIssuer (required)
- JWTAudience (required)
- JWTCertStoreType (required)
- JWTCertStore (required)
- JWTCertStorePassword (required)
- JWTCertSubject (required)
- JWTSubject
- JWTValidityTime
- JWTSignatureAlgorithm
Example 1. Google:
oauth.AuthorizationScope = "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics";
oauth.ServerTokenURL = "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/token";
oauth.ClientProfile = OauthClientProfiles.ocpJWT;
oauth.Config("JWTServiceProvider=0");

AccessToken Property (OAuth Component)
The access token returned by the authorization server.
Syntax
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property will be populated with the access token returned by the authorization server after a call to GetAuthorization. This will be the raw access token, whereas the return value from the GetAuthorization method will also include the required data so that it can be passed directly to the Authorization property of other components or added as the value of the authorization header in another client implementation.
AccessTokenExp Property (OAuth Component)
The lifetime of the access token.
Syntax
Default Value
0
Remarks
This setting holds the lifetime of the access token in seconds. For instance the value 3600 indicates that the token will expire in one hour from the time it was generated.
This property is read-only.
AuthorizationCode Property (OAuth Component)
The authorization code that is exchanged for an access token.
Syntax
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property is used with the AuthorizationCode GrantType. When ClientProfile is set to ocpApplication (Application flow), this property will be informational only, as the GetAuthorization method will automatically exchange this code for a token with the authorization server specified in ServerTokenURL.
When ClientProfile is set to ocpWeb (Web flow), this property needs to be set to the authorization code returned from the authorization server. Typically, this value is parsed when the service redirects the user back to your website. See ClientProfile for more information.
If this property is set before calling GetAuthorization, the component will not make a request to the authorization sever and instead will attempt to exchange the code with the authorization server for an access token.
This property is not available at design time.
AuthorizationScope Property (OAuth Component)
The scope request or response parameter used during authorization.
Syntax
Default Value
""
Remarks
If the scope is not set, the authorization server will use the default access scope for your application as determined by the server. To request a specific access scope, set this property to a space-separated list of strings as defined by the authorization server.
After calling GetAuthorization, this property will be updated with the scope sent in the response from the server and will indicate the scope that was actually granted.
ClientId Property (OAuth Component)
The Id of the client assigned when registering the application.
Syntax
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property holds the Id of the client that was assigned when initially registering the application with the authorization server. This value must be specified before calling GetAuthorization or GetAuthorizationURL.
ClientProfile Property (OAuth Component)
The type of client that is requesting authorization.
Syntax
public OAuthClientProfiles ClientProfile { get; set; }
enum OAuthClientProfiles { ocpApplication, ocpWeb, ocpDevice, ocpMobile, ocpJWT }
Public Property ClientProfile As OauthClientProfiles
Enum OAuthClientProfiles ocpApplication ocpWeb ocpDevice ocpMobile ocpJWT End Enum
Default Value
0
Remarks
This defines the type of client that will be requesting authorization. Set this before calling GetAuthorization to inform the component to act accordingly. Possible values are as follows:
0 (ocpApplication - default) | User application, such as a Windows form application |
1 (ocpWeb) | Server-side application, such as a website |
2 (ocpDevice) | Device application without a browser, such as a game console |
3 (ocpMobile) | Mobile application with browser support, such as a smart phone or tablet |
4 (ocpBrowser) | Client-side browser application, such as JavaScript |
5 (ocpJWT) | Server-to-Server authentication using a JWT Bearer Token |
Application Profile
The Application profile is applicable to applications that are run directly by the user. For instance, a Windows form application would use the Application profile. To authorize your application (client) using the Application profile, use the following steps:
First, set ClientProfile to ocpApplication. This defines the profile the component will use. Set the ClientId, ClientSecret, ServerAuthURL, and ServerTokenURL to the values you obtained when registering your application.
Second, call GetAuthorization to begin the authorization process. When GetAuthorization is called, the component will build the URL to which the user will be directed and fire the LaunchBrowser event. The component will then launch the browser using the command and URL shown in the LaunchBrowser event and await the response. The duration for which the component will wait for a response is defined by BrowserResponseTimeout.
Third, the user will interact with the browser to authenticate and grant access to the connecting application. The user will then be redirected back to an embedded web server that was automatically started when GetAuthorization was called. At this time, the ReturnURL event will fire. This event provides an opportunity to provide a custom response to your user that they will see in their browser.
Fourth, the component will then automatically exchange the grant that was returned by the authorization server for the access token using the HTTP endpoint specified in ServerTokenURL.
The authorization is now complete and the GetAuthorization method will return the authorization string. The authorization string can then be used with any of our components by simply setting the returned value to the authorization property before making a request.
The following is a simple example:
component.ClientId = "CLIENT_ID";
component.ClientSecret = "CLIENT_ID";
component.ServerAuthURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth";
component.ServerTokenURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token";
HTTP.Authorization = component.GetAuthorization();
HTTP.Get("https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo");
Web Profile
The Web profile is applicable to applications that are run on the server side when the user uses the application from a web browser. To authorize your application (client) using this profile, use the following steps:
First, set ClientProfile to ocpWeb. This defines the profile the component will use. Set the ClientId, ClientSecret, ServerAuthURL, and ServerTokenURL to the values you obtained when registering your application. Set ReturnURL to the page on your site that will be the endpoint the user is redirected back to after authentication.
Second, call GetAuthorizationURL. This will return a URL to which the user should be redirected. Redirect the user to this URL.
Third, after the user authenticates and is returned to the page on your site specified by ReturnURL, parse the "code" query string parameter from the incoming request to get the authorization code from the authorization server. Then, set AuthorizationCode property to the parsed value.
Fourth, after AuthorizationCode is set, call GetAuthorization to exchange the code specified in AuthorizationCode for a token from the server specified by ServerTokenURL. GetAuthorization will then return the authorization string. The authorization string can be used with any of our components by simply setting the returned value to the authorization property before making a request.
Device Profile
The Device profile is applicable to applications that are run on devices for which a web browser cannot be used. For example, a game console would use the Device profile. To authorize your application (client) using the device client profile use the following steps:
First, set ClientProfile to ocpDevice. This defines the profile the component will use. Set the ClientId, ClientSecret, ServerAuthURL, and ServerTokenURL to the values you obtained when registering your application. Do not set ReturnURL.
Second, call GetAuthorizationURL. The component will automatically make a request to ServerAuthURL to obtain a user code for the device. The GetAuthorizationURL method will return the URL your user must visit from another device or computer that has web browser support. The GetAuthorizationURL method will also populate DeviceUserCode. This device user code must be provided to the user. The user will enter the code at the URL returned by GetAuthorizationURL.
Third, at this time, call GetAuthorization. The component will begin polling the server specified in ServerTokenURL. The polling interval is specified (in seconds) by the PollingInterval setting.
Fourth, after the user has authenticated, the GetAuthorization method will return the authorization string. To use the authorization string with any of our components, simply pass this value to the authorization property before making the request.
Mobile Profile
The Mobile profile is applicable to applications that are run on devices for which a web browser can be used. For instance, a mobile phone or tablet would use the Mobile profile. The behavior when using this profile is very similar to the Application profile. The only difference between the Mobile and Application profiles is the way the browser is launched. When set to the Mobile profile, the LaunchBrowser event will fire but the component will not attempt to launch the browser automatically. The browser must be launched manually from code. This behavior is the only difference between the Mobile and Application profiles. Please read the steps for the Application profile for a more detailed look at the process.
JWT Bearer Token (Server-to-Server) Profile
The JWT (JSON Web Token) Bearer Token profile is available for server-to-server authentication. For instance this may be used by web applications to access a Google service. In this case, the application will access data on behalf of the service account, not the end user. End-user interaction is not required.
First, specify AuthorizationScope ServerTokenURL and JWTServiceProvider.
Second, specify JWT-specific values. The use of the JWT profile also requires additional configuration settings to be specified, including a certificate with private key used to sign the JWT. Either specify the JWTJSONKey configuration setting, which will parse the necessary information automatically, or manually specify the following configuration settings:
- JWTIssuer (required)
- JWTAudience (required)
- JWTCertStoreType (required)
- JWTCertStore (required)
- JWTCertStorePassword (required)
- JWTCertSubject (required)
- JWTSubject
- JWTValidityTime
- JWTSignatureAlgorithm
Example 1. Google:
oauth.AuthorizationScope = "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics";
oauth.ServerTokenURL = "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/token";
oauth.ClientProfile = OauthClientProfiles.ocpJWT;
oauth.Config("JWTServiceProvider=0");
oauth.Config("JWTIssuer=CLIENT_ID");
oauth.Config("JWTAudience=https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/token");
oauth.Config("JWTCertStoreType=2");
oauth.Config("JWTCertStore=C:\\MyCertificate.p12");
oauth.Config("JWTCertStorePassword=password");
oauth.Config("JWTCertSubject=*");
oauth.Config("JWTValidityTime=5400"); //in seconds
string authStr = oauth.GetAuthorization();
Example 2. Microsoft:
oauth.ClientId = "Client_Id";
oauth.ClientProfile = OauthClientProfiles.ocpJWT;
oauth.AuthorizationScope = "https://graph.microsoft.com/.default";
oauth.ServerTokenURL = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/" + tenant_id + "/oauth2/V2.0/token";
oauth.Config("JWTServiceProvider=1");
oauth.Config("JWTIssuer=" + CLIENT_ID);
oauth.Config("JWTSubject=" + CLIENT_ID);
oauth.Config("JWTCertStoreType=2");
oauth.Config("JWTCertStore=C:\\MyCertificate.p12");
oauth.Config("JWTCertStorePassword=password");
oauth.Config("JWTCertSubject=*");
oauth.Config("JWTValidityTime=3600");
oauth.Config("JWTAudience=https://login.microsoftonline.com/"+ tenant_id + "/oauth2/V2.0/token");
string authStr = oauth.GetAuthorization();
ClientSecret Property (OAuth Component)
The secret value for the client assigned when registering the application.
Syntax
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property holds the secret of the client that was assigned when initially registering the application with the authorization server. This value must be specified before calling GetAuthorization or GetAuthorizationURL.
Connected Property (OAuth Component)
This property shows whether the component is connected.
Syntax
Default Value
False
Remarks
This property is used to determine whether or not the component is connected to the remote host. Use the Connect and Disconnect methods to manage the connection.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
Cookies Property (OAuth Component)
This property includes a collection of cookies.
Syntax
public HTTPCookieList Cookies { get; }
Public Property Cookies As HTTPCookieList
Remarks
This property contains a collection of cookies. To add cookies to outgoing HTTP requests, add cookies (of type HTTPCookie) to this collection.
To see cookies that are set by the server, use the SetCookie event, which displays the cookies and their properties as set by the server. Those cookies also are added to Cookies.
MaxHTTPCookies can be used to control the maximum number of cookies saved.
This collection is indexed from 0 to count -1.
This property is not available at design time.
Please refer to the HTTPCookie type for a complete list of fields.Firewall Property (OAuth Component)
A set of properties related to firewall access.
Syntax
Remarks
This is a Firewall-type property, which contains fields describing the firewall through which the component will attempt to connect.
Please refer to the Firewall type for a complete list of fields.FollowRedirects Property (OAuth Component)
This property determines what happens when the server issues a redirect.
Syntax
public OAuthFollowRedirects FollowRedirects { get; set; }
enum OAuthFollowRedirects { frNever, frAlways, frSameScheme }
Public Property FollowRedirects As OauthFollowRedirects
Enum OAuthFollowRedirects frNever frAlways frSameScheme End Enum
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property determines what happens when the server issues a redirect. Normally, the component returns an error if the server responds with an "Object Moved" message. If this property is set to frAlways (1), the new URL for the object is retrieved automatically every time.
If this property is set to frSameScheme (2), the new URL is retrieved automatically only if the URLScheme is the same; otherwise, the component throws an exception.
Note: Following the HTTP specification, unless this property is set to frAlways (1), automatic redirects will be performed only for GET or HEAD requests. Other methods potentially could change the conditions of the initial request and create security vulnerabilities.
Furthermore, if either the new URL server or port are different from the existing one, User and Password are also reset to empty. If, however, this property is set to frAlways (1), the same credentials are used to connect to the new server.
A Redirect event is fired for every URL the product is redirected to. In the case of automatic redirections, the Redirect event is a good place to set properties related to the new connection (e.g., new authentication parameters).
The default value is frNever (0). In this case, redirects are never followed, and the component throws an exception instead.
GrantType Property (OAuth Component)
The OAuth grant type used to acquire an OAuth access token.
Syntax
public OAuthGrantTypes GrantType { get; set; }
enum OAuthGrantTypes { ogtAuthorizationCode, ogtImplicit, ogtPassword, ogtClientCredentials, ogtAdminConsent }
Public Property GrantType As OauthGrantTypes
Enum OAuthGrantTypes ogtAuthorizationCode ogtImplicit ogtPassword ogtClientCredentials ogtAdminConsent End Enum
Default Value
0
Remarks
This setting specifies the type of grant to obtain. In most cases the Authorization Code grant type (default) is used, so it is typically not necessary to change this. The supported values are:
0 (ogtAuthorizationCode - Default) | Authorization Code grant type |
1 (ogtImplicit) | Implicit grant type |
2 (ogtPassword) | Resource Owner Password Credentials grant type |
3 (ogtClientCredentials) | Client Credentials grant type |
4 (ogtAdminConsent) | Admin consent for Microsoft API application scopes |
For all grant types listed set ClientProfile to Application.
The Authorization Code grant is the most commonly used grant type. It follows the flow described for the Application Client Profile section in the OAuth introduction page.
Implicit grants are similar to Authorization Code, except that a Bearer token is returned directly from the authorization server without requiring a second step to exchange a code for a bearer token. To use this grant type set:
And call GetAuthorization.The Resource Owner Password Credentials grant type may be used to authenticate on behalf of a resource owner with the owner's credentials. Authentication is performed directly and the user is not prompted to authenticate the application. To use this grant type set:
- PasswordGrantUsername to the username of the resource owner
- ClientSecret to the password of the resource owner
- ClientId optional, set to the client id for the resource
- ServerTokenURL
The Client Credentials grant type is typically used for server-to-server authentication. The client authenticates directly to the authentication server and receives a token without any user interaction. To use this grant type set:
And call GetAuthorization.The AdminConsent grant type is used when setting up application permissions for apps that authenticate to Microsoft. To use this grant type set:
And call GetAuthorization. The component will then start the embedded web server, fire the LaunchBrowser event, and open the admin consent page URL.If the Admin consents to the scopes, the tenant ID can be accessed through the Microsoft365AdminConsentTenant configuration and is often needed for authenticating a client later (eg. Client Credentials Grant Flow). Once the Admin consents once, they typically will not need to go through the process again unless the scopes of the application change.
If the Admin does not consent to the scopes, the error message can be found in the Microsoft365AdminConsentError configuration setting and the error description can be found in the Microsoft365AdminConsentErrorDesc configuration setting.
Idle Property (OAuth Component)
This property specifies the current status of the component.
Syntax
Default Value
True
Remarks
Idle will be False if the component is currently busy (communicating or waiting for an answer), and True at all other times.
This property is read-only.
LocalHost Property (OAuth Component)
This property includes the name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.
Syntax
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.
OtherHeaders Property (OAuth Component)
This property includes other headers as determined by the user (optional).
Syntax
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property can be set to a string of headers to be appended to the HTTP request headers created from other properties like ContentType and From.
The headers must follow the format Header: Value as described in the HTTP specifications. Header lines should be separated by CRLF ("\r\n") .
Use this property with caution. If this property contains invalid headers, HTTP requests may fail.
This property is useful for extending the functionality of the component beyond what is provided.
This property is not available at design time.
Params Property (OAuth Component)
The parameters to be included in the request to the authorization server or received in the response.
Syntax
public OAuthParamList Params { get; }
Public Property Params As OAuthParamList
Remarks
This is a collection of query string parameters to be added in the request when creating the authorization URL. This will also hold the parameters returned in the response.
This property is not available at design time.
Please refer to the OAuthParam type for a complete list of fields.Proxy Property (OAuth Component)
A set of properties related to proxy access.
Syntax
Remarks
This property contains fields describing the proxy through which the component will attempt to connect.
Please refer to the Proxy type for a complete list of fields.RefreshToken Property (OAuth Component)
The refresh token received from or sent to the authorization server.
Syntax
Default Value
""
Remarks
When GetAuthorization is called, if the authorization server returns a refresh token along with the access token, this property will hold the refresh token. Save this value for later use.
When your access token expires, set this property to the corresponding refresh token. Then call GetAuthorization, and the component will use this token to retrieve a new access token. The new authorization string will be returned by the GetAuthorization method. No user interaction is required when refreshing an access token.
ReturnURL Property (OAuth Component)
The URL where the user (browser) returns after authenticating.
Syntax
Default Value
""
Remarks
When ClientProfile is set to ocpApplication, this will be automatically set to the address of the local embedded web server. In that case, this property can be inspected to determine the URL where the user will be redirected, but it does not need to be set.
When calling GetAuthorizationURL, which is common when ClientProfile is set to ocpWeb, set this property to the URL on your server where the user will be redirected after authenticating with the authorization server.
This property corresponds to the redirect_uri query string parameter.
ServerAuthURL Property (OAuth Component)
The URL of the authorization server.
Syntax
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property specifies the URL of the authorization server used when GetAuthorization is called. This value is used when constructing the URL to which the user will be redirected to authenticate and grant access.
This should be specified before calling GetAuthorization.
ServerTokenURL Property (OAuth Component)
The URL used to obtain the access token.
Syntax
Default Value
""
Remarks
The property specifies the URL where the grant will be exchanged for the access token. This is typically a separate HTTP endpoint on the authorization server.
This must be set before calling GetAuthorization.
SSLAcceptServerCert Property (OAuth Component)
This property instructs the component to unconditionally accept the server certificate that matches the supplied certificate.
Syntax
public Certificate SSLAcceptServerCert { get; set; }
Public Property SSLAcceptServerCert As Certificate
Remarks
If it finds any issues with the certificate presented by the server, the component will normally terminate the connection with an error.
You may override this behavior by supplying a value for SSLAcceptServerCert. If the certificate supplied in SSLAcceptServerCert is the same as the certificate presented by the server, then the server certificate is accepted unconditionally, and the connection will continue normally.
Note: This functionality is provided only for cases in which you otherwise know that you are communicating with the right server. If used improperly, this property may create a security breach. Use it at your own risk.
Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.SSLCert Property (OAuth Component)
This property includes the certificate to be used during Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) negotiation.
Syntax
public Certificate SSLCert { get; set; }
Public Property SSLCert As Certificate
Remarks
This property includes the digital certificate that the component will use during SSL negotiation. Set this property to a valid certificate before starting SSL negotiation. To set a certificate, you may set the Encoded field to the encoded certificate. To select a certificate, use the store and subject fields.
Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.SSLProvider Property (OAuth Component)
This property specifies the Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) implementation to use.
Syntax
public OAuthSSLProviders SSLProvider { get; set; }
enum OAuthSSLProviders { sslpAutomatic, sslpPlatform, sslpInternal }
Public Property SSLProvider As OauthSSLProviders
Enum OAuthSSLProviders sslpAutomatic sslpPlatform sslpInternal End Enum
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use. In most cases the default value of 0 (Automatic) is recommended and should not be changed. When set to 0 (Automatic), the component will select whether to use the platform implementation or the internal implementation depending on the operating system as well as the TLS version being used.
Possible values are as follows:
0 (sslpAutomatic - default) | Automatically selects the appropriate implementation. |
1 (sslpPlatform) | Uses the platform/system implementation. |
2 (sslpInternal) | Uses the internal implementation. |
In most cases using the default value (Automatic) is recommended. The component will select a provider depending on the current platform.
When Automatic is selected, on Windows, the component will use the platform implementation. On Linux/macOS, the component will use the internal implementation. When TLS 1.3 is enabled via SSLEnabledProtocols, the internal implementation is used on all platforms.
The .NET Standard library will always use the internal implementation on all platforms.
SSLServerCert Property (OAuth Component)
This property includes the server certificate for the last established connection.
Syntax
public Certificate SSLServerCert { get; }
Public ReadOnly Property SSLServerCert As Certificate
Remarks
SSLServerCert contains the server certificate for the last established connection.
SSLServerCert is reset every time a new connection is attempted.
This property is read-only.
Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.Timeout Property (OAuth Component)
This property includes the timeout for the component.
Syntax
Default Value
60
Remarks
If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations will run uninterrupted until successful completion or an error condition is encountered.
If Timeout is set to a positive value, the component will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.
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 throws 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 60 seconds.
TransferredData Property (OAuth Component)
The contents of the last response from the server.
Syntax
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property contains the contents of the last response from the server.
TransferredDataLimit controls the maximum amount of data accumulated in TransferredData (by default, there is no limit).
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
TransferredHeaders Property (OAuth Component)
This property includes the full set of headers as received from the server.
Syntax
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property returns the complete set of raw headers as received from the server.
The Header event shows the individual headers as parsed by the component.
This property is read-only and not available at design time.
UsePKCE Property (OAuth Component)
Whether Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE) should be used.
Syntax
Default Value
False
Remarks
If specified, Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE) defined by RFC 7636 will be used when GetAuthorization is called. This applies when using the Authorization Code GrantType. The PKCEChallengeEncoding configuration setting can be used to control the code challenge method that will be used. When using the ocpWeb ClientProfile, the PKCEVerifier configuration setting can be used to get/set the verifier that was used to generate the challenge. See the PKCEVerifier documentation for more information.
WebServerPort Property (OAuth Component)
The local port on which the embedded web server listens.
Syntax
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property specifies the port on which the embedded web server listens. Setting this to 0 (default) enables the system to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be returned when this setting is queried after the server has started listening. This is applicable only when using the embedded web server.
WebServerSSLCert Property (OAuth Component)
The certificate with the private key to use when a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is enabled.
Syntax
public Certificate WebServerSSLCert { get; set; }
Public Property WebServerSSLCert As Certificate
Remarks
This property specifies the certificate with the private key to use when the embedded web server is used. This setting is applicable only when WebServerSSLEnabled is set to True.
Please refer to the Certificate type for a complete list of fields.WebServerSSLEnabled Property (OAuth Component)
Whether the web server requires Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections.
Syntax
Default Value
False
Remarks
This setting specifies whether the embedded web server uses a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). If set to True, WebServerSSLCert is required and the server will accept only SSL connections. If set to False, only plaintext connects are supported.
AddCookie Method (OAuth Component)
This method adds a cookie and the corresponding value to the outgoing request headers.
Syntax
public void AddCookie(string cookieName, string cookieValue); Async Version public async Task AddCookie(string cookieName, string cookieValue); public async Task AddCookie(string cookieName, string cookieValue, CancellationToken cancellationToken);
Public Sub AddCookie(ByVal CookieName As String, ByVal CookieValue As String) Async Version Public Sub AddCookie(ByVal CookieName As String, ByVal CookieValue As String) As Task Public Sub AddCookie(ByVal CookieName As String, ByVal CookieValue As String, cancellationToken As CancellationToken) As Task
Remarks
This property adds a cookie and the corresponding value to the outgoing request headers. Please refer to the Cookies property for more information on cookies and how they are managed.
AddParam Method (OAuth Component)
Adds a name-value pair to the query string parameters of the outgoing request.
Syntax
Remarks
This method can be used to add query string parameters to the outgoing request. One common use for this method would be to add the state parameter to the request, which can be used when the ClientProfile is ocpWeb to add user-defined data. The authorization server will include the state parameter in the response and will be available in the post back to your server, which will allow you to maintain state in your application.
Config Method (OAuth Component)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
Remarks
Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the component.
These 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.
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.
DoEvents Method (OAuth Component)
This method processes events from the internal message queue.
Syntax
public void DoEvents(); Async Version public async Task DoEvents(); public async Task DoEvents(CancellationToken cancellationToken);
Public Sub DoEvents() Async Version Public Sub DoEvents() As Task Public Sub DoEvents(cancellationToken As CancellationToken) As Task
Remarks
When DoEvents is called, the component processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.
GetAuthorization Method (OAuth Component)
Gets the authorization string required to access the protected resource.
Syntax
public string GetAuthorization(); Async Version public async Task<string> GetAuthorization(); public async Task<string> GetAuthorization(CancellationToken cancellationToken);
Public Function GetAuthorization() As String Async Version Public Function GetAuthorization() As Task(Of String) Public Function GetAuthorization(cancellationToken As CancellationToken) As Task(Of String)
Remarks
This method performs several operations automatically depending on the value of ClientProfile. Please see the introduction section for the OAuth component for a detailed overview of the typical scenarios.
After authorization is completed, this method will return the authorization string, which can be passed directly to the authorization property of any other component. This can also be passed as the value of the HTTP authorization header to other implementations that access the protected resource as well.
The AccessToken property should be cleared before calling this method.
GetAuthorizationURL Method (OAuth Component)
Builds and returns the URL to which the user should be redirected for authorization.
Syntax
public string GetAuthorizationURL(); Async Version public async Task<string> GetAuthorizationURL(); public async Task<string> GetAuthorizationURL(CancellationToken cancellationToken);
Public Function GetAuthorizationURL() As String Async Version Public Function GetAuthorizationURL() As Task(Of String) Public Function GetAuthorizationURL(cancellationToken As CancellationToken) As Task(Of String)
Remarks
When this method is called, the component will return the URL used for authorization. The component will not make any connections, but instead it will return the URL to you so that you may redirect the user to this location. This is useful when ClientProfile is set to ocpWeb. Before calling this method, set the following:
GetParam Method (OAuth Component)
Gets a specific parameter from a query string.
Syntax
Remarks
This method can be used to get a specific parameter from a query string.
For example, when using the ocpApplication profile, this method can be used in the ReturnURL event to query the parameters that are returned from the authorization server. Then, it can be called after GetAuthorization completes to query the parameters that the token server responded with.
string authorizationString = oauth.GetAuthorization();
string stateValue = oauth.GetParam("state");
Interrupt Method (OAuth Component)
This method interrupts the current method.
Syntax
public void Interrupt(); Async Version public async Task Interrupt(); public async Task Interrupt(CancellationToken cancellationToken);
Public Sub Interrupt() Async Version Public Sub Interrupt() As Task Public Sub Interrupt(cancellationToken As CancellationToken) As Task
Remarks
If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.
Reset Method (OAuth Component)
This method will reset the component.
Syntax
public void Reset(); Async Version public async Task Reset(); public async Task Reset(CancellationToken cancellationToken);
Public Sub Reset() Async Version Public Sub Reset() As Task Public Sub Reset(cancellationToken As CancellationToken) As Task
Remarks
This method will reset the component's properties to their default values.
StartWebServer Method (OAuth Component)
Starts the embedded web server.
Syntax
public void StartWebServer(); Async Version public async Task StartWebServer(); public async Task StartWebServer(CancellationToken cancellationToken);
Public Sub StartWebServer() Async Version Public Sub StartWebServer() As Task Public Sub StartWebServer(cancellationToken As CancellationToken) As Task
Remarks
This method starts the embedded web server. This method can be used to manually start the embedded web server. Under normal circumstances, this is not needed as the component will automatically start and stop the web server when GetAuthorization is called. You may decide, however, to start the web server manually before calling GetAuthorization. When called, this method will also populate ReturnURL with the address of the embedded server.
StopWebServer Method (OAuth Component)
Stops the embedded web server.
Syntax
public void StopWebServer(); Async Version public async Task StopWebServer(); public async Task StopWebServer(CancellationToken cancellationToken);
Public Sub StopWebServer() Async Version Public Sub StopWebServer() As Task Public Sub StopWebServer(cancellationToken As CancellationToken) As Task
Remarks
This method stops the embedded web server. Under normal circumstances, the web server will be stopped automatically during the authorization process when GetAuthorization is called. If ReUseWebServer is set to True, the server will not be automatically stopped, and this method must be called to stop the embedded web server.
Connected Event (OAuth Component)
This event is fired immediately after a connection completes (or fails).
Syntax
public event OnConnectedHandler OnConnected; public delegate void OnConnectedHandler(object sender, OAuthConnectedEventArgs e); public class OAuthConnectedEventArgs : EventArgs { public int StatusCode { get; } public string Description { get; } }
Public Event OnConnected As OnConnectedHandler Public Delegate Sub OnConnectedHandler(sender As Object, e As OAuthConnectedEventArgs) Public Class OAuthConnectedEventArgs Inherits EventArgs Public ReadOnly Property StatusCode As Integer Public ReadOnly Property Description As String End Class
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 Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the error.
Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.
ConnectionStatus Event (OAuth Component)
This event is fired to indicate changes in the connection state.

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 Transmission Control Protocol (TCP/IP) subsystem. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the TCP/IP error.
Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.
EndTransfer Event (OAuth Component)
This event is fired when a document finishes transferring.
Syntax
public event OnEndTransferHandler OnEndTransfer; public delegate void OnEndTransferHandler(object sender, OAuthEndTransferEventArgs e); public class OAuthEndTransferEventArgs : EventArgs { public int Direction { get; } }
Public Event OnEndTransfer As OnEndTransferHandler Public Delegate Sub OnEndTransferHandler(sender As Object, e As OAuthEndTransferEventArgs) Public Class OAuthEndTransferEventArgs Inherits EventArgs Public ReadOnly Property Direction As Integer End Class
Remarks
The EndTransfer event is fired first when the client finishes sending data to the server (in a POST or PUT request) and then when the document text finishes transferring from the server to the local host.
The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.
Error Event (OAuth Component)
Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.
Syntax
public event OnErrorHandler OnError; public delegate void OnErrorHandler(object sender, OAuthErrorEventArgs e); public class OAuthErrorEventArgs : EventArgs { public int ErrorCode { get; } public string Description { get; } }
Public Event OnError As OnErrorHandler Public Delegate Sub OnErrorHandler(sender As Object, e As OAuthErrorEventArgs) Public Class OAuthErrorEventArgs Inherits EventArgs Public ReadOnly Property ErrorCode As Integer Public ReadOnly Property Description As String End Class

If the header line being retrieved is a continuation header line, then the Field parameter contains "" (empty string).
LaunchBrowser Event (OAuth Component)
Fires before launching a browser with the authorization URL.
Syntax
public event OnLaunchBrowserHandler OnLaunchBrowser; public delegate void OnLaunchBrowserHandler(object sender, OAuthLaunchBrowserEventArgs e); public class OAuthLaunchBrowserEventArgs : EventArgs { public string URL { get; set; } public string Command { get; set; } }
Public Event OnLaunchBrowser As OnLaunchBrowserHandler Public Delegate Sub OnLaunchBrowserHandler(sender As Object, e As OAuthLaunchBrowserEventArgs) Public Class OAuthLaunchBrowserEventArgs Inherits EventArgs Public Property URL As String Public Property Command As String End Class
Remarks
When the ClientProfile property is set to ocpApplication and GetAuthorization is called, the component will fire this event with the Command, which will be executed by the component. The URL parameter will be the authorization URL that the user will be directed to authenticate.
Within this event, you may override the current value of either Command or URL and provide your own value. If Command is set to an empty string, the component will not attempt to launch the browser and instead you will be responsible for directing the user to the authorization URL specified by the URL parameter.
Log Event (OAuth Component)
This event fires once for each log message.
Syntax
public event OnLogHandler OnLog; public delegate void OnLogHandler(object sender, OAuthLogEventArgs e); public class OAuthLogEventArgs : EventArgs { public int LogLevel { get; } public string Message { get; } public string LogType { get; } }

Remarks
This event fires once for each log message generated by the component. The verbosity is controlled by the LogLevel setting.
LogLevel indicates the level of message. Possible values are as follows:
0 (None) | No events are logged. |
1 (Info - default) | Informational events are logged. |
2 (Verbose) | Detailed data are logged. |
3 (Debug) | Debug data are logged. |
The value 1 (Info) logs basic information, including the URL, HTTP version, and status details.
The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.
The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).
Message is the log entry.
LogType identifies the type of log entry. Possible values are as follows:
- "Info"
- "RequestHeaders"
- "ResponseHeaders"
- "RequestBody"
- "ResponseBody"
- "ProxyRequest"
- "ProxyResponse"
- "FirewallRequest"
- "FirewallResponse"

Public Event OnRedirect As OnRedirectHandler Public Delegate Sub OnRedirectHandler(sender As Object, e As OAuthRedirectEventArgs) Public Class OAuthRedirectEventArgs Inherits EventArgs Public ReadOnly Property Location As String Public Property Accept As Boolean End Class
Remarks
This event is fired in cases in which the client can decide whether or not to continue with the redirection process. The Accept parameter is always True by default, but if you do not want to follow the redirection, Accept may be set to False, in which case the component throws an exception. Location is the location to which the client is being redirected. Further control over redirection is provided in the FollowRedirects property.
ReturnURL Event (OAuth Component)
Fired when the user is redirected to the embedded web server.
Syntax
public event OnReturnURLHandler OnReturnURL; public delegate void OnReturnURLHandler(object sender, OAuthReturnURLEventArgs e); public class OAuthReturnURLEventArgs : EventArgs { public string URLPath { get; } public string QueryString { get; } public string ResponseHeaders { get; set; } public string ResponseBody { get; set; } }

Remarks
When ClientProfile is set to ocpApplication and the embedded web server is used (default), this event will fire when the user is redirected from the authorization server back to the local embedded web server. The event provides an opportunity to set the ResponseHeaders and ResponseBody and to provide a custom response that the user will see in their browser.
URLPath and QueryString are informational parameters that show the values sent by the authorization server.
Additionally, the Params collection will be populated. This allows the GetParam method to be used to get a specific parameter returned from the authorization server when used within this event.
SetCookie Event (OAuth Component)
This event is fired for every cookie set by the server.
Syntax
public event OnSetCookieHandler OnSetCookie; public delegate void OnSetCookieHandler(object sender, OAuthSetCookieEventArgs e); public class OAuthSetCookieEventArgs : EventArgs { public string Name { get; } public string Value { get; } public string Expires { get; } public string Domain { get; } public string Path { get; } public bool Secure { get; } }

Remarks
The SetCookie event is fired for every Set-Cookie: header received from the HTTP server.
The Name parameter contains the name of the cookie, with the corresponding value supplied in the Value parameter.
The Expires parameter contains an expiration time for the cookie (if provided by the server). The time format used is "Weekday, DD-Mon-YY HH:MM:SS GMT". If the server does not provide an expiration time, the Expires parameter will be an empty string. In this case, the convention is to drop the cookie at the end of the session.
The Domain parameter contains a domain name to limit the cookie to (if provided by the server). If the server does not provide a domain name, the Domain parameter will be an empty string. The convention in this case is to use the server specified in the URL (URLServer) as the cookie domain.
The Path parameter contains a path name to limit the cookie to (if provided by the server). If the server does not provide a cookie path, the Path parameter will be an empty string. The convention in this case is to use the path specified in the URL (URLPath) as the cookie path.
The Secure parameter specifies whether the cookie is secure. If the value of this parameter is True, the cookie value must be submitted only through a secure (HTTPS) connection.
SSLServerAuthentication Event (OAuth Component)
Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.
Syntax
public event OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler OnSSLServerAuthentication; public delegate void OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler(object sender, OAuthSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs e); public class OAuthSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs : EventArgs { public string CertEncoded { get; }
public byte[] CertEncodedB { get; } public string CertSubject { get; } public string CertIssuer { get; } public string Status { get; } public bool Accept { get; set; } }

Public ReadOnly Property CertEncodedB As Byte() Public ReadOnly Property CertSubject As String Public ReadOnly Property CertIssuer As String Public ReadOnly Property Status As String Public Property Accept As Boolean End Class
Remarks
During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.
When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.
SSLStatus Event (OAuth Component)
Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.
Syntax
public event OnSSLStatusHandler OnSSLStatus; public delegate void OnSSLStatusHandler(object sender, OAuthSSLStatusEventArgs e); public class OAuthSSLStatusEventArgs : EventArgs { public string Message { get; } }
Public Event OnSSLStatus As OnSSLStatusHandler Public Delegate Sub OnSSLStatusHandler(sender As Object, e As OAuthSSLStatusEventArgs) Public Class OAuthSSLStatusEventArgs Inherits EventArgs Public ReadOnly Property Message As String End Class
Remarks

This event is fired when a document starts transferring (after the headers).
Syntax
public event OnStartTransferHandler OnStartTransfer; public delegate void OnStartTransferHandler(object sender, OAuthStartTransferEventArgs e); public class OAuthStartTransferEventArgs : EventArgs { public int Direction { get; } }
Public Event OnStartTransfer As OnStartTransferHandler Public Delegate Sub OnStartTransferHandler(sender As Object, e As OAuthStartTransferEventArgs) Public Class OAuthStartTransferEventArgs Inherits EventArgs Public ReadOnly Property Direction As Integer End Class
Remarks
The StartTransfer event is fired first when the client starts sending data to the server (in a POST or PUT request) and then when the document text starts transferring from the server to the local host.
The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.
Status Event (OAuth Component)
This event is fired when the HTTP status line is received from the server.
Syntax

Public Event OnStatus As OnStatusHandler Public Delegate Sub OnStatusHandler(sender As Object, e As OAuthStatusEventArgs) Public Class OAuthStatusEventArgs Inherits EventArgs Public ReadOnly Property HTTPVersion As String Public ReadOnly Property StatusCode As Integer Public ReadOnly Property Description As String End Class
Remarks
HTTPVersion is a string containing the HTTP version string as returned from the server (e.g., "1.1").
StatusCode contains the HTTP status code (e.g., 200), and Description the associated message returned by the server (e.g., "OK").
Transfer Event (OAuth Component)
This event is fired while a document transfers (delivers document).
Syntax
public event OnTransferHandler OnTransfer; public delegate void OnTransferHandler(object sender, OAuthTransferEventArgs e); public class OAuthTransferEventArgs : EventArgs { public int Direction { get; } public long BytesTransferred { get; } public int PercentDone { get; } public string Text { get; }

Public ReadOnly Property TextB As Byte() End Class
Remarks
The Text parameter contains the portion of the document text being received. It is empty if data are being posted to the server.
The BytesTransferred parameter contains the number of bytes transferred in this Direction since the beginning of the document text (excluding HTTP response headers).
The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.
The PercentDone parameter shows the progress of the transfer in the corresponding direction. If PercentDone can not be calculated the value will be -1.
Note: Events are not re-entrant. Performing time-consuming operations within this event will prevent it from firing again in a timely manner and may affect overall performance.

Public Certificate(ByVal StoreType As CertStoreTypes, ByVal Store As String, ByVal StorePassword As String, ByVal Subject As String, ByVal ConfigurationString As String)
CertStoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See StoreType for descriptions of the different certificate stores. Store is a file containing the certificate store. StorePassword is the password used to protect the store. ConfigurationString is a newline separated list of name-value pairs that may be used to modify the default behavior. Possible values include "PersistPFXKey", which shows whether or not the PFX key is persisted after performing operations with the private key. This correlates to the PKCS12_NO_PERSIST_KEY CryptoAPI option. The default value is True (the key is persisted). "Thumbprint" - an MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256 thumbprint of the certificate to load. When specified, this value is used to select the certificate in the store. This is applicable to cstUser, cstMachine, cstPublicKeyFile, and cstPFXFile store types. "UseInternalSecurityAPI" shows whether the platform (default) or the internal security API is used when performing certificate-related operations. After the store has been successfully opened, the component will attempt to find the certificate identified by Subject . This can be either a complete or a substring match of the X.509 certificate's subject Distinguished Name (DN). The Subject parameter can also take an MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256 thumbprint of the certificate to load in a "Thumbprint=value" format.

CertStoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See StoreType for descriptions of the different certificate stores. Store is a string (binary- or Base64-encoded) containing the certificate store. StorePassword is the password used to protect the store. After the store has been successfully opened, the component will load Encoded as an X.509 certificate and search the opened store for a corresponding private key.
Firewall Type
The firewall the component will connect through.
Remarks
When connecting through a firewall, this type is used to specify different properties of the firewall, such as the firewall Host and the FirewallType.
Fields
AutoDetect
bool
Default: False
This field tells the component whether or not to automatically detect and use firewall system settings, if available.
FirewallType
FirewallTypes
Default: 0

Constructors
HTTPCookie Type
An HTTP cookie can be either sent to or received from the server.
Remarks
An HTTP cookie can store the cookies that are to be sent to the server. It also may store the cookies sent by the server.
Cookies that are to be sent to the server must have the Name and Value fields supplied before submitting the URL. When the SetCookie event is fired, however, all of the fields of an HTTPCookie are filled out accordingly.
Fields
Domain
string (read-only)
Default: ""
This is the domain of a received cookie. This field contains a domain name to limit the cookie to (if provided by the server). If the server does not provide a domain name, this field will contain an empty string. The convention in this case is to use the server name specified by URLServer as the cookie domain.
Expiration
string (read-only)
Default: ""
This field contains an expiration time for the cookie (if provided by the server). The time format used is "Weekday, DD-Mon-YY HH:MM:SS GMT". If the server does not provide an expiration time, this field will contain an empty string. The convention is to drop the cookie at the end of the session.
Name
string
Default: ""
This field, contains the name of the cookie.
This field, along with Value, stores the cookie that is to be sent to the server. The SetCookie event displays the cookies sent by the server and their properties.
Path
string (read-only)
Default: ""
This field contains a path name to limit the cookie to (if provided by the server). If the server does not provide a cookie path, the path field will be an empty string. The convention in this case is to use the path specified by URLPath as the cookie path.
Secure
bool (read-only)
Default: False
This field contains the security flag of the received cookie. This field specifies whether the cookie is secure. If the value of this field is True, the cookie value must be submitted only through a secure (HTTPS) connection.
Value
string
Default: ""
This field contains the value of the cookie. A corresponding value is associated with the cookie specified by Name. This property holds that value.
The SetCookie event provides the cookies set by the server.
Constructors

OAuthParam Type
This is the parameter to be used in the request or received in the response.
Remarks
This type describes a parameter that is used in a request or received in the response.
Fields
Name
string
Default: ""
This field contains the name of the parameter to be used in the request or returned in the response.
Value
string
Default: ""
This field contains the value of the parameter to be used in the request or returned in the response. When issuing a request, the component will URL encode the value specified here. Returned values will be automatically URL decoded.
Constructors

public OAuthParam(string name, string value);
Public OAuthParam(ByVal Name As String, ByVal Value As String)
Proxy Type
The proxy the component will connect to.
Remarks
When connecting through a proxy, this type is used to specify different properties of the proxy, such as the Server and the AuthScheme.
Fields
AuthScheme
ProxyAuthSchemes
Default: 0
This field is used to tell the component which type of authorization to perform when connecting to the proxy. This is used only when the User and Password fields are set.
AuthScheme should be set to authNone (3) when no authentication is expected.
By default, AuthScheme is authBasic (0), and if the User and Password fields are set, the component will attempt basic authentication.
If AuthScheme is set to authDigest (1), digest authentication will be attempted instead.
If AuthScheme is set to authProprietary (2), then the authorization token will not be generated by the component. Look at the configuration file for the component being used to find more information about manually setting this token.
If AuthScheme is set to authNtlm (4), NTLM authentication will be used.
For security reasons, setting this field will clear the values of User and Password.
AutoDetect
bool
Default: False
This field tells the component whether or not to automatically detect and use proxy system settings, if available. The default value is false.
Password
string
Default: ""
This field contains a password if authentication is to be used for the proxy.
If AuthScheme is set to Basic Authentication, the User and Password fields are Base64 encoded and the proxy authentication token will be generated in the form Basic [encoded-user-password].
If AuthScheme is set to Digest Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to respond to the Digest Authentication challenge from the server.
If AuthScheme is set to NTLM Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to authenticate through NTLM negotiation.
Port
int
Default: 80
This field contains the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port for the proxy Server (default 80). See the description of the Server field for details.
Server
string
Default: ""
If a proxy Server is given, then the HTTP request is sent to the proxy instead of the server otherwise specified.
If the Server field is set to a domain name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the Server field is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.
SSL
ProxySSLTypes
Default: 0
This field determines when to use a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for the connection to the proxy. The applicable values are as follows:
psAutomatic (0) | Default setting. If the URL is an https URL, the component will use the psTunnel option. If the URL is an http URL, the component will use the psNever option. |
psAlways (1) | The connection is always SSL-enabled. |
psNever (2) | The connection is not SSL-enabled. |
psTunnel (3) | The connection is made through a tunneling (HTTP) proxy. |
User
string
Default: ""
This field contains a username if authentication is to be used for the proxy.
If AuthScheme is set to Basic Authentication, the User and Password fields are Base64 encoded and the proxy authentication token will be generated in the form Basic [encoded-user-password].
If AuthScheme is set to Digest Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to respond to the Digest Authentication challenge from the server.
If AuthScheme is set to NTLM Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to authenticate through NTLM negotiation.
Constructors
Config Settings (OAuth 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.OAuth Config Settings
Bearer (default) | When the access token returned by the server is a Bearer type, the authorization string returned by GetAuthorization will be in the format "Bearer access_token". This can be supplied as the value of the HTTP authorization header. |
component.Config("FormVarCount=2");
component.Config("FormVarName[0]=myvar");
component.Config("FormVarValue[0]=myvalue");
component.Config("FormVarName[1]=testname");
component.Config("FormVarValue[1]=testvalue");
The value will be URL encoded by the component
If set to True (default), the redirect_uri will be sent in all cases. If set to False, the redirect_uri will be sent only if it has a value.
The JWTCertStoreType field specifies the type of certificate store specified by JWTCertStore. If the store is password protected, specify the password in JWTCertStorePassword.
JWTCertStore is used in conjunction with the JWTCertSubject field to specify the JWT signing certificate.
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).
Note: This is required when ClientProfile is set to ocpJWT.
Note: This is applicable only when ClientProfile is set to ocpJWT.
0 | User - This is the 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 | Machine - For Windows, this specifies that the certificate store is a machine store. Note: This store type is not available in Java. |
2 | PFXFile - The certificate store is the name of a PFX (PKCS12) file containing certificates. |
3 | PFXBlob - The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in PFX (PKCS12) format. |
4 | JKSFile - The certificate store is the name of a Java Key Store (JKS) file containing certificates. Note: This store type is available only in Java. |
5 | JKSBlob - 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 available only in Java. |
6 | PEMKeyFile - The certificate store is the name of a PEM-encoded file that contains a private key and an optional certificate. |
7 | PEMKeyBlob - The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) that contains a private key and an optional certificate. |
14 | PPKFile - The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a PPK (PuTTY Private Key). |
15 | PPKBlob - The certificate store is a string (binary) that contains a PPK (PuTTY Private Key). |
16 | XMLFile - The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a certificate in XML format. |
17 | XMLBlob - The certificate store is a string that contains a certificate in XML format. |
The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.
The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:
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.
Note: This is required when ClientProfile is set to ocpJWT.
To parse the payload for specific claims, see JWTXPath.

XPath syntax is available for the payload of JWT based access tokens if available. An XPath is a series of one or more element accessors separated by the / character, for example: /A/B/C/D.
The following are possible values for an element accessor, which operates relative to the current location specified by the XPath accessors which proceed it in the overall XPath string:
Accessor | Description |
name | The first element with a particular name. Can be *. |
[i] | The i-th element. |
name[i] | The i-th element with a particular name. |
[last()] | The last element. |
[last()-i] | The element i before the last element. |
Description | JSON XPath |
Document root | /json |
Specific element | /json/element_one |
Username Claim (Microsoft Specific) | /json/preferred_username |
Registered Application Name Claim (Microsoft Specific) | /json/app_displayname |
This is not an exhaustive list by any means, but should provide a general idea of the possibilities. To get the text of the specified element, see JWTXText.

When GetAuthorization is called, if Office365ServiceAPIVersion and Office365ServiceCapability are specified, the component will attempt to discover the Office 365 services for which the user has access and find a service that matches the requirements specified in Office365ServiceAPIVersion and Office365ServiceCapability. If a service is found, the component will then obtain authorization to access that service. If authorization is successful, Office365ServiceEndpoint will hold the service endpoint URL to which requests should be made.
Example. OneDrive for Business:
oauth.Config("Office365ServiceCapability=MyFiles");
oauth.Config("Office365ServiceAPIVersion=v2.0");
string authString = oauth.GetAuthorization();
string endpointURL = oauth.Config("Office365ServiceEndpoint");
- 1 (Plain)
- 2 (S256/SHA256 - default)
The default value is "localhost".
HTTP Config Settings
When True, the component adds an Accept-Encoding header to the outgoing request. The value for this header can be controlled by the AcceptEncoding configuration setting. The default value for this header is "gzip, deflate".
The default value is True.
If set to True (default), the component will automatically use HTTP/1.1 if the server does not support HTTP/2. If set to False, the component throws an exception if the server does not support HTTP/2.
The default value is True.
This property is provided so that the HTTP component can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the component.
The AuthScheme property defines the authentication scheme used. In the case of HTTP Basic Authentication (default), every time User and Password are set, they are Base64 encoded, and the result is put in the Authorization property in the form "Basic [encoded-user-password]".
The default value is False.
If this property is set to 2 (Same Scheme), the new URL is retrieved automatically only if the URL Scheme is the same; otherwise, the component throws an exception.
Note: Following the HTTP specification, unless this option is set to 1 (Always), automatic redirects will be performed only for GET or HEAD requests. Other methods potentially could change the conditions of the initial request and create security vulnerabilities.
Furthermore, if either the new URL server or port are different from the existing one, User and Password are also reset to empty, unless this property is set to 1 (Always), in which case the same credentials are used to connect to the new server.
A Redirect event is fired for every URL the product is redirected to. In the case of automatic redirections, the Redirect event is a good place to set properties related to the new connection (e.g., new authentication parameters).
The default value is 0 (Never). In this case, redirects are never followed, and the component throws an exception instead.
Following are the valid options:
- 0 - Never
- 1 - Always
- 2 - Same Scheme
- "1.0"
- "1.1" (default)
- "2.0"
- "3.0"
When using HTTP/2 ("2.0"), additional restrictions apply. Please see the following notes for details.
HTTP/2 Notes
When using HTTP/2, a secure Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (TLS/SSL) connection is required. Attempting to use a plaintext URL with HTTP/2 will result in an error.
If the server does not support HTTP/2, the component will automatically use HTTP/1.1 instead. This is done to provide compatibility without the need for any additional settings. To see which version was used, check NegotiatedHTTPVersion after calling a method. The AllowHTTPFallback setting controls whether this behavior is allowed (default) or disallowed.
HTTP/2 is supported on all versions of Windows. If the Windows version is an earlier version than Windows 8.1/Windows Server 2012 R2, the internal security implementation will be used. If the Windows version is Window 8.1/Windows Server 2012 R2 or later, the system security libraries will be used by default.
HTTP/3 Notes
HTTP/3 is supported only in .NET and Java.
When using HTTP/3, a secure (TLS/SSL) connection is required. Attempting to use a plaintext URL with HTTP/3 will result in an error.
The format of the date value for IfModifiedSince is detailed in the HTTP specs. For example:
Sat, 29 Oct 2017 19:43:31 GMT.
The default value for KeepAlive is false.
0 (None) | No events are logged. |
1 (Info - default) | Informational events are logged. |
2 (Verbose) | Detailed data are logged. |
3 (Debug) | Debug data are logged. |
The value 1 (Info) logs basic information, including the URL, HTTP version, and status details.
The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.
The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).
To save all items to the collection, set this configuration setting to -1. If no items are wanted, set this to 0, which will not save any items to the collection. The default for this configuration setting is -1, so all items will be included in the collection.
To save all items to the collection, set this configuration setting to -1. If no items are wanted, set this to 0, which will not save any items to the collection. The default for this configuration setting is -1, so all items will be included in the collection.
The headers must follow the format "header: value" as described in the HTTP specifications. Header lines should be separated by CRLF ("\r\n") .
Use this configuration setting with caution. If this configuration setting contains invalid headers, HTTP requests may fail.
This configuration setting is useful for extending the functionality of the component beyond what is provided.
.NET
Http http = new Http();
http.Config("TransferredRequest=on");
http.PostData = "body";
http.Post("http://someserver.com");
Console.WriteLine(http.Config("TransferredRequest"));
C++
HTTP http;
http.Config("TransferredRequest=on");
http.SetPostData("body", 5);
http.Post("http://someserver.com");
printf("%s\r\n", http.Config("TransferredRequest"));
Note: Some servers (such as the ASP.NET Development Server) may not support chunked encoding.
The default value is False and the hostname will always be used exactly as specified.
When True (default), the component will check for the existence of a Proxy auto-config URL, and if found, will determine the appropriate proxy to use.
Override the default with the name and version of your software.
TCPClient Config Settings
If the FirewallHost setting is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the FirewallHost setting is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.
Note: This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
If this entry is set, the component acts as a server. RemoteHost and RemotePort are used to tell the SOCKS firewall in which address and port to listen to. The firewall rules may ignore RemoteHost, and it is recommended that RemoteHost be set to empty string in this case.
RemotePort is the port in which the firewall will listen to. If set to 0, the firewall will select a random port. The binding (address and port) is provided through the ConnectionStatus event.
The connection to the firewall is made by calling the Connect method.
Note: This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This configuration setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
0 | No firewall (default setting). |
1 | Connect through a tunneling proxy. FirewallPort is set to 80. |
2 | Connect through a SOCKS4 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080. |
3 | Connect through a SOCKS5 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080. |
10 | Connect through a SOCKS4A Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080. |
Note: This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This value is not applicable in macOS.
In the case that Linger is True (default), two scenarios determine how long the connection will linger. In the first, if LingerTime is 0 (default), the system will attempt to send pending data for a connection until the default IP timeout expires.
In the second scenario, if LingerTime is a positive value, the system will attempt to send pending data until the specified LingerTime is reached. If this attempt fails, then the system will reset the connection.
The default behavior (which is also the default mode for stream sockets) might result in a long delay in closing the connection. Although the component returns control immediately, the system could hold system resources until all pending data are sent (even after your application closes).
Setting this property to False forces an immediate disconnection. If you know that the other side has received all the data you sent (e.g., by a client acknowledgment), setting this property to False might be the appropriate course of action.
In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface), setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the component initiate connections (or accept in the case of server components) only through that interface.
If the component is connected, the LocalHost setting shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).
Setting this to 0 (default) enables the system to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by LocalPort after the connection is established.
LocalPort cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this when a connection is active will generate an error.
This configuration setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port on the client side. An example is the remote shell (rsh) service in UNIX systems.
If an EOL string is found in the input stream before MaxLineLength bytes are received, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to True, and the buffer is reset.
If no EOL is found, and MaxLineLength bytes are accumulated in the buffer, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to False, and the buffer is reset.
The minimum value for MaxLineLength is 256 bytes. The default value is 2048 bytes.
www.google.com;www.nsoftware.com
Note: This value is not applicable in Java.
By default, this configuration setting is set to False.
0 | IPv4 only |
1 | IPv6 only |
2 | IPv6 with IPv4 fallback |
SSL Config Settings
The value is formatted as a list of paths separated by semicolons. The component will check for the existence of each file in the order specified. When a file is found, the CA certificates within the file will be loaded and used to determine the validity of server or client certificates.
The default value is as follows:
/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem;/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt;/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt;/etc/pki/tls/cacert.pem
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.
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.

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.
Note: When SSLProvider is set to Internal this value is automatically set to true. This is needed for proper validation when using the internal provider.
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.
Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipher[connId]");
Note: For server components (e.g., TCPServer), this is a per-connection configuration setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipherStrength[connId]");
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]");
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]");
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]");
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]");
0x00000001 | Ignore time validity status of certificate. |
0x00000002 | Ignore time validity status of CTL. |
0x00000004 | Ignore non-nested certificate times. |
0x00000010 | Allow unknown certificate authority. |
0x00000020 | Ignore wrong certificate usage. |
0x00000100 | Ignore unknown certificate revocation status. |
0x00000200 | Ignore unknown CTL signer revocation status. |
0x00000400 | Ignore unknown certificate authority revocation status. |
0x00000800 | Ignore unknown root revocation status. |
0x00008000 | Allow test root certificate. |
0x00004000 | Trust test root certificate. |
0x80000000 | Ignore non-matching CN (certificate CN non-matching server name). |
This functionality is currently not available in Java or 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 throws 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)

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

Socket Config Settings
Note: This option is not valid for User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the component is activated the InBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the component 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
In some non-GUI applications, an invalid message loop may be discovered that will result in errant behavior. In these cases, setting GUIAvailable to false will ensure that the component does not attempt to process external events.
- 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.
This setting only works on these components: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.
Setting this configuration setting to true tells the component 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.
If using the .NET Standard Library, this setting will be true on all platforms. The .NET Standard library does not support using the system security libraries.
Note: This setting is static. The value set is applicable to all components used in the application.
When this value is set, the product's system dynamic link library (DLL) is no longer required as a reference, as all unmanaged code is stored in that file.
