An Azure Relay Service listener to accept and communicate with clients.

Syntax

AzureRelayReceiver

Remarks

The AzureRelayReceiver control implements the listener role in the Azure Relay service. The control will connect to the server and listen for incoming connections. Once a connection is established data can be exchange freely in both directions allowing a flexible messaging environment.

Authenticating and Listening

Authentication to Azure Relay is performed using the Shared Access Key Name and Shared Access Key created from the Azure portal for the Relay. To begin listening for incoming connections set Listening to True.

When set to True the control will immediately attempt to make a connection to the Azure Relay Service and begin listening. The following properties are applicable when setting Listening:

To stop listening set Listening to False. To shutdown the server including existing connections call Shutdown.

Handling Connections

When a connection is made the ConnectionRequest event fires with information about the connecting client. From within this event the client connection may be accepted (default) or rejected.

If the client connection is accepted the ConnectionConnected and ConnectionReadyToSend events fire when the connection completes and is ready to send and receive data.

When data is received from the client the ConnectionDataIn event fires with the received data.

To send data to the client set AzureRelayConnectionDataToSend or call Send, SendFile, or SendText.

When the client disconnects the ConnectionDisconnected event fires. To initiate the client disconnection call Disconnect.

Handling HTTP Connections

Azure Relay also supports HTTP connections which follow a request/response model. When an HTTP request is received the HTTPRequest event fires with information about the request including the request body. Save the ConnectionId value obtained within HTTPRequest for use with SendHTTPResponse.

To send a HTTP response call SendHTTPResponse with the ConnectionId, status code and description, and any response day to be sent back to the client.

Forwarding Connections

The control supports forwarding incoming connection to a separate destination. This functionality allows AzureRelayReceiver to act as a proxy for incoming requests. When ForwardingHost and ForwardingPort are set anytime a connection is made the control will establish a separate connection to the ForwardingHost and forward all incoming traffic. Responses from the ForwardingHost are then automatically sent back over the connection.

When connection forwarding is used no special steps are needed to send or receive data. Data flows freely between the connected client and the ForwardingHost.

Note: Forwarding is not supported for HTTP requests.

Code Example (WebSockets)

Azurerelayreceiver listener = new Azurerelayreceiver(); listener.AccessKey = "9oKRDwjl0s440MlLUi4qHxDL34j1FS6K3t5TRoJ216c="; listener.AccessKeyName = "RootManageSharedAccessKey"; listener.NamespaceAddress = "myrelay.servicebus.windows.net"; listener.HybridConnection = "hc1"; listener.OnConnectionRequest += (s, e) => { Console.WriteLine("Connection Request From: " + e.RemoteAddress + ":" + e.RemotePort); e.Accept = true; }; listener.OnConnectionReadyToSend += (s, e) => { Console.WriteLine("Connection [" + e.ConnectionId + "] connected and ready to send and receive."); }; listener.OnConnectionDataIn += (s, e) => { Console.WriteLine("Received data from " + e.ConnectionId + ": " + e.Text); //echo the data back listener.SendText(e.ConnectionId, e.Text); Console.WriteLine("Echoed received data back"); }; listener.Listening = true; while (true) listener.DoEvents();

Code Example (HTTP)

Azurerelaylistener listener = new Azurerelaylistener(); listener.AccessKey = "9oKRDwjl0s440MlLUi4qHxDL34j1FS6K3t5TRoJ216c="; listener.AccessKeyName = "RootManageSharedAccessKey"; listener.NamespaceAddress = "myrelay.servicebus.windows.net"; listener.HybridConnection = "hc1"; listener.OnHTTPRequest += (s, e) => { Console.WriteLine("HTTP Request from " + e.RemoteAddress + ":" + e.RemotePort); Console.WriteLine("HTTP Method: " + e.RequestMethod); Console.WriteLine("HTTP Request: " + e.RequestData); myConnectionId = e.ConnectionId; }; //Send a response using the ConnectionId value from the HTTPRequest event listener.SendHTTPResponse(myConnectionId, 200, "OK", myResponseBody);

This property specifies a timeout for the control.

Syntax

azurerelayreceivercontrol.AzureRelayConnectionTimeout(ConnectionId)[=integer]

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property specifies a timeout for the control.

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

If AzureRelayConnectionTimeout is set to a positive value, data is sent in a blocking manner and the control will wait for the operation to complete before returning control. The control will handle any potential WOULDBLOCK errors internally and automatically retry the operation for a maximum of AzureRelayConnectionTimeout seconds.

The control 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 control fails with an error.

Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, i.e. the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.

The default value for the AzureRelayConnectionTimeout property is 0(asynchronous operation).

The ConnectionId parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the AzureRelayConnectionCount property.

Config Method (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

azurerelayreceivercontrol.Config ConfigurationString

Remarks

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

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

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

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

Disconnect Method (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

Interrupt Method (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

Interrupts a synchronous send to the remote host.

Syntax

azurerelayreceivercontrol.Interrupt ConnectionId

Remarks

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

PauseData Method (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

This method pauses data reception.

Syntax

azurerelayreceivercontrol.PauseData ConnectionId

Remarks

This method pauses data reception for the connection identified by ConnectionId when called. While data reception is paused, the DataIn event will not fire for the specified connection. Call ProcessData to reenable data reception.

ProcessData Method (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

This method reenables data reception after a call to PauseData .

Syntax

azurerelayreceivercontrol.ProcessData ConnectionId

Remarks

This method reenables data reception for the connection identified by ConnectionId after a previous call to PauseData. When PauseData is called, the DataIn event will not fire for the specified connection. To reenable data reception and allow DataIn to fire, call this method.

Note: This method is used only after previously calling PauseData. It does not need to be called to process incoming data by default.

Send Method (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

Sends binary data to the client.

Syntax

azurerelayreceivercontrol.Send ConnectionId, Data

Remarks

This method sends the binary data specified by Data to the client specified by ConnectionId.

SendBytes Method (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

This method sends binary data to the specified client.

Syntax

azurerelayreceivercontrol.SendBytes ConnectionId, Data

Remarks

This method sends binary data to the client identified by ConnectionId. To send text, use the SendText method instead.

When AzureRelayConnectionTimeout is set to 0, the control will behave asynchronously. If you are sending data to the remote host faster than it can process it, or faster than the network's bandwidth allows, the outgoing queue might fill up. When this happens, the operation fails with error 25036: "[10035] Operation would block" (WSAEWOULDBLOCK). You can trap this error, and then try to send the data again. . The BytesSent property shows how many bytes were sent (if any). If 0 bytes were sent, then you can wait for the ReadyToSend event before attempting to send data again.

Note: The ReadyToSend event is not fired when part of the data is sent successfully.

SendFile Method (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

This method sends the file to the remote host.

Syntax

azurerelayreceivercontrol.SendFile ConnectionId, FileName

Remarks

This method sends the file to the client specified by the ConnectionId.

SendHTTPResponse Method (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

Send the HTTP response.

Syntax

azurerelayreceivercontrol.SendHTTPResponse ConnectionId, StatusCode, StatusDescription, ResponseData

Remarks

This method sends an HTTP response to the HTTP request identified by ConnectionId.

The response status code and description, as well as the response body, are sent to the client using this method. The ConnectionId value should be obtained from the HTTPRequest event.

StatusCode is the three digit HTTP status code to return, for instance 200.

StatusDescription is the text corresponding to the StatusCode. For instance OK.

ResponseBody specifies the body to be sent back to the client (if any).

Code Example (HTTP)

Azurerelaylistener listener = new Azurerelaylistener(); listener.AccessKey = "9oKRDwjl0s440MlLUi4qHxDL34j1FS6K3t5TRoJ216c="; listener.AccessKeyName = "RootManageSharedAccessKey"; listener.NamespaceAddress = "myrelay.servicebus.windows.net"; listener.HybridConnection = "hc1"; listener.OnHTTPRequest += (s, e) => { Console.WriteLine("HTTP Request from " + e.RemoteAddress + ":" + e.RemotePort); Console.WriteLine("HTTP Method: " + e.RequestMethod); Console.WriteLine("HTTP Request: " + e.RequestData); myConnectionId = e.ConnectionId; }; //Send a response using the ConnectionId value from the HTTPRequest event listener.SendHTTPResponse(myConnectionId, 200, "OK", myResponseBody);

SendText Method (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

Sends text data to the client.

Syntax

azurerelayreceivercontrol.SendText ConnectionId, Text

Remarks

This method sends text to the client identified by ConnectionId. To send binary data, use the SendBytes method instead.

When AzureRelayConnectionTimeout is set to 0, the control will behave asynchronously. If you are sending data to the remote host faster than it can process it, or faster than the network's bandwidth allows, the outgoing queue might fill up. When this happens, the operation fails with error 25036: "[10035] Operation would block" (WSAEWOULDBLOCK). You can trap this error, and then try to send the data again. . The BytesSent property shows how many bytes were sent (if any). If 0 bytes were sent, then you can wait for the ReadyToSend event before attempting to send data again.

Note: The ReadyToSend event is not fired when part of the data is sent successfully.

This method sends text to the client identified by ConnectionId. Data sent with this method will always be treated as text data regardless of the value of AzureRelayConnectionDataFormat. The control will UTF-8 encode the supplied text.

Shutdown Method (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

This method shuts down the server.

Syntax

azurerelayreceivercontrol.Shutdown 

Remarks

This method shuts down the server. Calling this method is equivalent to calling StopListening and then breaking every client connection by calling Disconnect.

StartListening Method (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

Starts listening for incoming connections.

Syntax

azurerelayreceivercontrol.StartListening 

Remarks

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

To stop listening for new connections call StopListening. To stop listening for new connections and disconnect all existing clients call Shutdown.

The following properties are applicable when calling this method:

StopListening Method (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

This method stops listening for new connections.

Syntax

azurerelayreceivercontrol.StopListening 

Remarks

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

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

Connected Event (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

Fired immediately after the WebSocket handshake completes (or fails).

Syntax

Sub azurerelayreceivercontrol_Connected(StatusCode As Integer, Description As String)

Remarks

The Connected event will fire after the entire WebSocket connection and handshake process finishes (of fails). This consists of 3 steps: the initial TCP connection (along with SSL negotiation, if used), the HTTP "Upgrade" request, and the 101 HTTP response.

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 TCP/IP stack. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the error. The corresponding Visual Basic error code can be obtained by adding 15001 to this value.

Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.

ConnectionConnected Event (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

Fired when a client has connected.

Syntax

Sub azurerelayreceivercontrol_ConnectionConnected(ConnectionId As Integer)

Remarks

This event fires when a client has successfully established a WebSocket connection.

ConnectionId identifies the connection.

ConnectionDataIn Event (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

Fired when data is received.

Syntax

Sub azurerelayreceivercontrol_ConnectionDataIn(ConnectionId As Integer, DataFormat As Integer, Text As String, EOM As Boolean)

Remarks

The DataIn event provides the data received from the client identified by the ConnectionId parameter.

The incoming data is provided through the Text parameter.

The DataFormat parameter identifies the encoding (if any) of the data. Possible value are:

0 If LineMode is disabled, a value of 0 indicates a continuation packet. If LineMode is enabled the value will always be 0, regardless of packet type.
1 The data is UTF-8 encoded.
2 The data is binary and has no encoding.

The EOM parameter stands for End Of Message. By default the control will fire the DataIn event as data is received. Larger messages will be fragmented and will cause the event to fire multiple times. When EOM is true within the event this indicates the current fragment is also the final fragment of the message. The control may also be configured to buffer the message internally until the complete message is received. To enable this set BufferMessage to true.

The EOL parameter stands for End of Line. When LineMode is false, EOL will always be false. When LineMode is true, EOL will be True if the DataIn event fired because an EOL was received, and false if the DataIn event fired because MaxLineLength was reached.

ConnectionDisconnected Event (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

Fired when a WebSocket connection is disconnected.

Syntax

Sub azurerelayreceivercontrol_ConnectionDisconnected(ConnectionId As Integer, StatusCode As Integer, Description As String)

Remarks

When the connection is closed the StatusCode parameter may be used to determine if the disconnect occurred normally or if there was an error condition. If the connection is closed normally the StatusCode will be 1000. The Description parameter will contain a textual description returned by the server. Common StatusCode values are:

1000 (default) Normal closure.
1001 The resource is going away. For instance the server is shutting down or a browser is navigating away from the page.
1002 A protocol error occurred.
1003 Unexpected data was received (e.g., an endpoint that only accepts text data could send this if binary data is received).
1007 Invalid payload data was received (e.g., an endpoint that receives non-UTF-8 data in a text message could send this).
1008 A generic code that indicates the endpoint received a message that violates its policy.
1009 A message that was too large was received.
1010 A required extension could not be negotiated.
1011 An unexpected error occurred.

ConnectionError Event (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

ConnectionId contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

ConnectionReadyToSend Event (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

Fired when the control is ready to send data.

Syntax

Sub azurerelayreceivercontrol_ConnectionReadyToSend(ConnectionId As Integer)

Remarks

The ReadyToSend event indicates that the underlying TCP/IP subsystem is ready to accept data after a failed DataToSend. The event is also fired immediately after a connection is established.

ConnectionRequest Event (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

Fires when a WebSocket connection is requested.

Syntax

Sub azurerelayreceivercontrol_ConnectionRequest(Accept As Boolean, RendezvousAddress As String, Id As String, ConnectHeaders As String, SubProtocols As String, Extensions As String, Host As String, RemoteAddress As String, RemotePort As Integer, StatusCode As Integer, StatusDescription As String)

Remarks

This event fires when a client requests a connection. The parameters of this event may be used to determine whether to accept or reject the connection.

To accept a connection set Accept to True (default). To reject a connection set Accept to False and set StatusCode and StatusDescription.

Accept defines whether the connection request is accepted or rejected. The default value is True. Set this to False to reject the connection.

RendezvousAddress holds the rendezvous URL to which the connection specific websocket connection will be made. This is informational only.

Id holds the Id of the connection. If an Id was specified by the client it is present here, otherwise the Azure Relay Service generates a value. For instance: b3ac97ea-d0f0-4286-bf1d-d493a4a22c27_G23_G22.

ConnectHeaders contains a JSON object with the HTTP headers that have been supplied by the sender to the Azure Relay service. For instance:

"connectHeaders": {
	"Sec-WebSocket-Key": "wIdDlRBg\/J\/Hx12q6iFdUQ==",
	"Sec-WebSocket-Version": "13",
	"Origin": "null",
	"Connection": "Upgrade",
	"Upgrade": "websocket",
	"Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate",
	"Host": "nstest.servicebus.windows.net",
	"User-Agent": "IPWorks HTTP Component - www.nsoftware.com"
}

SubProtocols holds the subprotocols (application-level protocols layered over the WebSocket Protocol) sent by the client in the initial WebSocket connection request.

Extensions holds the WebSocket extensions sent by the client in the initial WebSocket connection request.

Host is the Host header value of the connected client.

RemoteAddress is the IP address of the connecting client.

RemotePort is the port used by the connecting client.

StatusCode is a 3 digit HTTP status code used when Accept is set to False. Set this to any 3 digit HTTP status code when rejecting a connection. For instance: 404.

StatusDescription should be set to the text description corresponding to the StatusCode value when rejecting a connection. For instance: Not Found.

ConnectionStatus Event (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

Fired to indicate changes in connection state.

Syntax

Sub azurerelayreceivercontrol_ConnectionStatus(ConnectionEvent As String, StatusCode As Integer, Description As String)

Remarks

The ConnectionStatus event is fired when the connection state changes: completion of a firewall or proxy connection, completion of a security handshake, etc.

The ConnectionEvent parameter indicates the type of connection event. Values may include:

Firewall connection complete.
SSL handshake complete (where applicable).
WebSocket handshake complete.
Remote host connection complete.
Remote host disconnected.
WebSocket connection broken.
SSL connection broken.
Firewall host disconnected.
StatusCode has the error code returned by the TCP/IP stack. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the error. The corresponding Visual Basic error code can be obtained by adding 15001 to this value.

Disconnected Event (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

This event is fired when a connection is closed.

Syntax

Sub azurerelayreceivercontrol_Disconnected(StatusCode As Integer, Description As String)

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. The corresponding Visual Basic error code can be obtained by adding 15001 to this value.

Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.

Error Event (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

Sub azurerelayreceivercontrol_Error(ErrorCode As Integer, Description As String)

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the control fails with an error.

The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

Header Event (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

This event is fired every time a header line comes in.

Syntax

Sub azurerelayreceivercontrol_Header(Field As String, Value As String)

Remarks

The Field parameter contains the name of the HTTP header (which is the same as it is delivered). The Value parameter contains the header contents.

If the header line being retrieved is a continuation header line, then the Field parameter contains "" (empty string).

HTTPRequest Event (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

Fires when an HTTP request is received.

Syntax

Sub azurerelayreceivercontrol_HTTPRequest(ConnectionId As Integer, RendezvousAddress As String, Id As String, RequestHeaders As String, RequestTarget As String, RequestMethod As String, Host As String, RemoteAddress As String, RemotePort As Integer, RequestData As String)

Remarks

This event fires when an HTTP request is received. The parameters of this event describe the details of the HTTP request.

The ConnectionId value must be saved and used when calling SendHTTPResponse.

Parameter Descriptions

ConnectionId contains an identifier generated by the control to identify each connection. This identifier is unique to this connection.

RendezvousAddress holds the rendezvous URL to which the connection specific websocket connection may be made. This is for information only, no action needs to be taken based on this value. For instance: wss://g2-prod-by3-003-sb.servicebus.windows.net/$hc/hc1?sb-hc-action=request&sb-hc-id=e1df5efe-0988-450c-9512-f9f1d91b39a0_G2

Id holds the Id of the connection. If an Id was specified by the client it is present here, otherwise the Azure Relay service generates a value. For instance: 2d4acb89-7d15-4aeb-bcd5-66e031580a90_G21_G1.

RequestHeaders contains a JSON object containing the HTTP headers supplied to the Azure Relay service by the sender. Note that authorization values used to authenticate to the Azure Relay service, as well as all headers defined in RFC 7230 with the exception of Via are also stripped. For instance headers such as Content-Length are stripped by the relay and are not present in this value. For instance:

"requestHeaders": {
	"Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate",
	"Host": "nstest.servicebus.windows.net",
	"User-Agent": "IPWorks HTTP Component - www.nsoftware.com",
	"Via": "1.1 nstest.servicebus.windows.net"
}

RequestTarget is the request target including query string params, as defined in RFC 7230 section 5.3. For instance /hc1.

RequestMethod contains HTTP method sent in the request. For instance POST or GET.

Hostholds the Host header value of the connected client.

RemoteHost contains the IP address of the remote host that initiated the HTTP request (the client).

RemotePort contains the port used by the remote host to establish the connection.

RequestData holds the body of the HTTP request (if any).

Log Event (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

Fires once for each log message.

Syntax

Sub azurerelayreceivercontrol_Log(ConnectionId As Integer, LogLevel As Integer, Message As String, LogType As String)

Remarks

This event fires once for each log message generated by the control. The verbosity is controlled by the LogLevel setting.

LogLevel indicates the level of message. Possible values are:

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

The value 1 (Info) logs basic information including the URL, HTTP version, and connection status details.

The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the initial HTTP request.

The value 3 (Debug) logs additional debug information (if available).

Message is the log entry.

LogType identifies the type of log entry. Possible values are:

  • "Info"
  • "Error"
  • "Verbose"
  • "Debug"
ConnectionId specifies the Id of the connection to which the log applies.

Redirect Event (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

This event is fired when a redirection is received from the server.

Syntax

Sub azurerelayreceivercontrol_Redirect(Location As String, Accept As Boolean)

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 control fails with an error. Location is the location to which the client is being redirected. Further control over redirection is provided in the FollowRedirects property.

SSLServerAuthentication Event (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

Sub azurerelayreceivercontrol_SSLServerAuthentication(CertEncoded As String, CertSubject As String, CertIssuer As String, Status As String, Accept As Boolean)

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 (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

Sub azurerelayreceivercontrol_SSLStatus(Message As String)

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.

Config Settings (AzureRelayReceiver Control)

The control 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 control, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

AzureRelayReceiver Config Settings

AccessToken:   Returns an access token for use outside of the components.

This setting returns an access token suitable for use in the HTTP Authorization header of a request. This is useful when a separate HTTP client is used to make a HTTP request to the relay service. The value returned by this setting can be set directly as the value for the Authorization header.

The value will be in the format:

SharedAccessSignature sr=sb%3a%2f%2fnstest.servicebus.windows.net%2fhc1&sig=a2EjYWw%2fDlg%2bPcNb%2fC7%2fxBbM11JjfgdO6ZVsQRm18Gg%3d&se=1555368805&skn=RootManageSharedAccessKey

AutoRenewThreshold:   The threshold in seconds after which the token is renewed.

This setting specifies a threshold used by the control to determine when to automatically renew the listener token while connected to the Azure Relay service.

When connected to the Azure Relay a Shared Access Token grants access to the service. After TokenValidity seconds this token will expire. To prevent disconnection the control will automatically renew the token once the remaining seconds on the life of the token is below this threshold.

For instance if AutoRenewThreshold is set to 100 (seconds). Once the control token is valid for only 99 seconds it will be automatically renewed.

The default value is 300 (seconds).

AzureRelayKeepAliveTime:   The inactivity period in seconds before a ping packet is sent to keep the connection alive.

This setting specifies the inactivity period in seconds after which a ping packet is sent on the control channel to keep the connection to the Azure Relay Service alive.

The default value is 0 (disabled).

Note: This functionality is not yet supported

DiagnosticId:   A diagnostic id used to enable end-to-end tracing.

This setting optionally specifies a diagnostic Id that is associated with the control connection established to the Azure Relay server when Listening is set to True. If set, this allows end-to-end tracing of the connection for diagnostic purposes. If specified this should be a GUID. For instance f479cece-a32d-4caf-aed3-6dcc3b7b661e.

LogLevel:   The level of detail that is logged.

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

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

The value 1 (Info) logs basic information about the connection and connecting clients.

The value 2 (Verbose) logs detailed information about each connection and the control connection.

The value 3 (Debug) logs additional debug information (if any).

TokenValidity:   The validity time in seconds of the access token.

This setting specifies the validity time of the access token to create when authenticating. The default value is 3600 seconds.

WebSocketServer Config Settings

BufferMessage:   Indicates whether or not the entire message is buffered before firing the DataIn event.

When receiving large messages the DataIn event may fire multiple times to provide data as it is received in each message fragment. When BufferMessage is set to True the control will internally buffer the message as it is received until it is complete before firing the DataIn event. The default value is False.

DisconnectStatusCode:   Specifies the status code when closing a connection.

When the Disconnect method is called the control will send the status code specified here. By default the value is 1000 which indicates a normal closure. Any other value represents an error condition. You may set any value you wish, however the protocol defines the following common values.

1000 (default) Normal closure.
1001 The resource is going away. For instance the server is shutting down or a browser is navigating away from the page.
1002 A protocol error occurred.
1003 Unexpected data was received (e.g., an endpoint that only accepts text data could send this if binary data is received).
1007 Invalid payload data was received (e.g., an endpoint that receives non-UTF-8 data in a text message could send this).
1008 A generic code that indicates the endpoint received a message that violates its policy.
1009 A message that was too large was received.
1010 A required extension could not be negotiated.
1011 An unexpected error occurred.

DisconnectStatusDescription:   Specifies the message associated with the disconnect status code.

This setting may be used to provide a textual description of the status code sent when closing the connection. This setting works in conjunction with DisconnectStatusCode. For any of the standard codes listed in DisconnectStatusCode the control will use a default description that may be overridden with this setting. For any non-standard codes that are not listed, this setting should be set or no description will be sent.

MaxFrameSize:   Specifies the maximum size of the outgoing message in bytes before fragmentation occurs.

This setting specifies the maximum size of the outgoing message in bytes before fragmentation will occur. When a message that is larger than MaxFrameSize is sent, it will be broken into fragments with the maximum size specified here. The default value is 131072 (128K).

When a message is fragmented, the receiving side may check the EOM parameter of the DataIn event to determine when the message is complete.

Note: When Timeout is set to 0 messages that are fragmented are always sent as individual smaller messages and EOM will always be True in the DataIn event on the receiving side.

MessageLength[ConnectionId]:   The length of the message (in bytes) when sending asynchronously.

This setting specifies the length of messages being sent when operating asynchronously.

When DefaultTimeout is set to 0 the control operates asynchronously and by default all data sent when Send is called or AzureRelayConnectionDataToSend is set is considered a complete message. Each packet leaving the control has the End-of-Message flag set.

To send messages which may be fragmented, set MessageLength to the length of the message (in bytes) that is being sent. When set the control will consider the next MessageLength bytes sent as part of a single message and only the last packet will set the End-of-Message flag.

This setting is helpful when data is organized into messages and the receiving side expected the End-of-Message flag to signal the end of a message.

Note: This setting is only applicable when DefaultTimeout is set to 0. When DefaultTimeout is set to a positive value the message data may be passed in its entirety to AzureRelayConnectionDataToSend or Send and will be automatically handled as needed by the control.

WaitForCloseResponse:   Determines whether or not the control will forcibly close a connection.

When true (default) the control will wait for a response from the client when closing the connection. When this setting is set to false, the control will forcibly close the connection without waiting for a response from the client.

TCPServer Config Settings

AllowedClients:   A comma-separated list of host names or IP addresses that can access the control.

This configuration setting defines a comma-separated list of host names or IPv4 addresses that may access the control. The wildcard character "*" is supported. The default value is "*" and all connections are accepted.

When a client connects, the client's address is checked against the list defined here. If there is no match, the ConnectionRequest event fires with an Accept value set to False. If no action is taken within the ConnectionRequest event, the client will be disconnected.

BindExclusively:   Whether or not the component considers a local port reserved for exclusive use.

If this is True (default), the component will bind to the local port with the ExclusiveAddressUse option set, meaning that nothing else can bind to the same port. Also the component will not be able to bind to local ports that are already in use by some other instance, and attempts to do so will result in failure.

BlockedClients:   A comma-separated list of host names or IP addresses that cannot access the control.

This configuration setting defines a comma-separated list of host names or IPv4 addresses that cannot access the control.The default value is "" and all connections are accepted.

When a client connects, the client's address is checked against the list defined here. If there is a match, the ConnectionRequest event fires with an Accept value set to False. If no action is taken within the ConnectionRequest event, the client will not be connected.

DefaultConnectionTimeout:   The inactivity timeout applied to the SSL handshake.

This configuration setting specifies the inactivity (in seconds) to apply to incoming Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections. When set to a positive value, if the other end is unresponsive for the specified number of seconds, the connection will timeout. This is not applicable to the entire handshake. It is applicable only to the inactivity of the connecting client during the handshake if a response is expected and none is received within the timeout window. The default value is 0, and no connection-specific timeout is applied.

Note: This is applicable only to incoming SSL connections. This should be set only if there is a specific reason to do so.

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

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

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

InBufferSize is shared among incoming connections. When the property is set, the corresponding value is set for incoming connections as they are accepted. Existing connections are not modified.

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

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

Note: This value is not applicable in macOS.

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

By default, the operating system will determine the time a connection is idle before a TCP keep-alive packet is sent. If this value is not specified here, the system default is 2 hours. In many cases, a shorter interval is more useful. Set this value to the desired interval in milliseconds. This setting is applicable to all connections.

MaxConnections:   The maximum number of connections available.

This is the maximum number of connections available. This property must be set before Listening is set to True, and once set, it can no longer be changed for the current instance of the control. The maximum value for this setting is 100,000 connections. Use this setting with caution. Extremely large values may affect performance. The default value is 1000.

Note: Unix/Linux operating systems limit the number of simultaneous connections to 1024.

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

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

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

OutBufferSize is shared among incoming connections. When the property is set, the corresponding value is set for incoming connections as they are accepted. Existing connections are not modified.

TcpNoDelay:   Whether or not to delay when sending packets.

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

By default, this config is set to false.

UseIPv6:   Whether to use IPv6.

When set to 0 (default), the control will use IPv4 exclusively. When set to 1, the control will use IPv6 exclusively. When set to 2, the control will listen for both IPv4 and IPv6 connections. If IPv6 is not available on the system, only IPv4 will be used. The default value is 0. Possible values are as follows:

0 IPv4 Only
1 IPv6 Only
2 IPv6 and IPv4

SSL Config Settings

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

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

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

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

OpenSSLCADir:   The path to a directory containing CA certificates.

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

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

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

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

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

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

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

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

sequences. Before, between, and after the certificates text is allowed which can be used e.g. for descriptions of the certificates. Please refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details.

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

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

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

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

This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.

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

ReuseSSLSession:   Determines if the SSL session is reused.

If set to true, the control 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 control is the same.

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

This setting specifies one or more CA certificates to be included in the request when performing SSL client authentication. Some servers require the entire chain, including CA certificates, to be presented when performing SSL client authentication. The value of this setting is a newline (CrLf) separated list of certificates. For instance:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SSLCipherStrength:   The minimum cipher strength used for bulk encryption.

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

Please note that this setting contains the minimum cipher strength requested from the security library. The actual cipher strength used for the connection is shown by the SSLStatus event.

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

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

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

The enabled cipher suites to be used in SSL negotiation.

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

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

Multiple cipher suites are separated by semicolons.

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

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

  • TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
  • TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
  • TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

SSLEnabledCipherSuites is used together with SSLCipherStrength.

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

Used to enable/disable the supported security protocols.

Not all supported protocols are enabled by default (the value of this setting is 4032). If you want more granular control over the enabled protocols, you can set this property to the binary 'OR' of one or more of the following values:

TLS1.312288 (Hex 3000)
TLS1.23072 (Hex C00) (Default)
TLS1.1768 (Hex 300) (Default)
TLS1 192 (Hex C0) (Default)
SSL3 48 (Hex 30) [Platform Only]
SSL2 12 (Hex 0C) [Platform Only]

SSLEnabledProtocols - TLS 1.3 Notes

By default when TLS 1.3 is enabled the control will use the internal TLS implementation when the SSLProvider is set to Automatic for all editions.

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

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

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

SSLEnabledProtocols: SSL2 and SSL3 Notes:

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

SSLEnableRenegotiation:   Whether the renegotiation_info SSL extension is supported.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SSLNegotiatedCipher:   Returns the negotiated cipher suite.

Returns the cipher suite negotiated during the SSL handshake.

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

SSLNegotiatedCipherStrength:   Returns the negotiated cipher suite strength.

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

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

SSLNegotiatedCipherSuite:   Returns the negotiated cipher suite.

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

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

SSLNegotiatedKeyExchange:   Returns the negotiated key exchange algorithm.

Returns the key exchange algorithm negotiated during the SSL handshake.

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

SSLNegotiatedKeyExchangeStrength:   Returns the negotiated key exchange algorithm strength.

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

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

SSLNegotiatedVersion:   Returns the negotiated protocol version.

Returns the protocol version negotiated during the SSL handshake.

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

SSLSecurityFlags:   Flags that control certificate verification.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TLS12SupportedGroups:   The supported groups for ECC.

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

The default value is ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1.

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

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

TLS13KeyShareGroups:   The groups for which to pregenerate key shares.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TLS13SignatureAlgorithms:   The allowed certificate signature algorithms.

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

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

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

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

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

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