The SSHClient class provides client-side SSH protocol functionality.

Syntax

SSHClient

Remarks

Use SSHClient to establish terminal-like connections to remote systems and run commands remotely. The component supports most of third-party implementations out there, and is capable of working in "shell" and "command" modes.

Start with assigning your sign-in credentials to Username and Password properties. Where public key authentication is to be used, assign your private authentication key to Key property (remember to set Username in this case too). Subscribe to events to be notified of the session progress. AuthFailed, AuthSucceeded, and Connect are among those particularly useful.

Special attention should be paid to setting up the server key trust. Class only allows connections to servers whose public keys are recognized as trusted, much like any other SSH clients do. Assign a path to the file containing the list of trusted keys to TrustedKeysFile property. If you don't have such file, or if you would like to make trust decisions on the fly, subscribe to KnownKeyReceived and UnknownKeyReceived events. These are fired whenever a trusted or untrusted key is received from the server. For unknown/untrusted keys, you need to set the Action parameter in your UnknownKeyReceived event handler to catAcceptOnce (1) or catAcceptPermanently (2) for the connection to proceed.

Once you are all set up, you can go ahead by calling the Connect method. This launches the SSH handshake and, if everything has been set up right, establishes a connection to the server. You can now use Send and Receive methods to exchange information with the server. You can exchange data in synchronous or asynchronous way; see the description in AsyncMode topic to learn more about each mode.

When you are done with the session, call Disconnect to shut the connection down.

Hint: If you are only interested in a quick-and-dirty execution of a simple, non-interactive command, SSHClient offers a handy shortcut. ConnectAndExec method is a self-contained mechanism which sets up a connection, performs the data exchange internally, and returns the command output. Please keep in mind that you still need to set up the server trust settings as described above for this method to work.

AsyncMode Property (SSHClient Class)

Controls the SSH clients mode of work.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetAsyncMode();
int SetAsyncMode(int bAsyncMode); Unicode (Windows) BOOL GetAsyncMode();
INT SetAsyncMode(BOOL bAsyncMode);
int secureblackbox_sshclient_getasyncmode(void* lpObj);
int secureblackbox_sshclient_setasyncmode(void* lpObj, int bAsyncMode);
bool GetAsyncMode();
int SetAsyncMode(bool bAsyncMode);

Default Value

FALSE

Remarks

This property defines the way in which the class communicates with the application/user code. AsyncMode set to false makes the component use synchronous single-thread approach. Synchronous mode is generally simpler to integrate and use, but please keep in mind that the calls like Connect, Receive or SendBytes may block until their execution completes. In asyncronous mode all operations return immediately, but more care should be taken about handling them in your code properly.

Here are a few highlights of each mode.

Synchronous mode:

  • All operations are performed within the caller thread context
  • Operations like Connect or SendBytes may block
  • Use Poll to check for the availability of data before reading it out with Receive or ReceiveBytes
  • Return of a call guarantees completion of the operation
  • Connection errors are reported straight from the methods via exceptions

Asynchronous mode:

  • All operations are performed in a separate thread (and so are the event calls!)
  • Methods like Send return immediately
  • Use DataSent and DataReceived events to be notified about actual data transmissions
  • Return of call only marks the beginning of the operation and does not guarantee its successful completion
  • Connection errors are reported via Error event, often followed by Disconnect.

Please note that this is a very important and sensitive property, which has a wide-scale effect on the way the SSH client works and co-operates with the application. Depending on the value assigned to this setting you may need to work with the component very differently.

When setting this property to true, please make sure that your code is prepared to handle events coming from the context of a different thread.

ExternalCryptoKeyID Property (SSHClient Class)

The ID of the pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetExternalCryptoKeyID();
int SetExternalCryptoKeyID(const char* lpszExternalCryptoKeyID); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetExternalCryptoKeyID();
INT SetExternalCryptoKeyID(LPCWSTR lpszExternalCryptoKeyID);

int secureblackbox_sshclient_setexternalcryptokeyid(void* lpObj, const char* lpszExternalCryptoKeyID);
QString GetExternalCryptoKeyID();
int SetExternalCryptoKeyID(QString qsExternalCryptoKeyID);

Default Value

""

Remarks

The ID of the pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.

Asynchronous DCAuth-driven communication requires that parties authenticate each other with a secret pre-shared cryptographic key. This provides extra protection layer for the protocol and diminishes the risk of private key becoming abused by foreign parties. Use this property to provide the pre-shared key identifier, and use ExternalCryptoKeySecret to pass the key itself.

The same KeyID/KeySecret pair should be used on the DCAuth side for the signing requests to be accepted.

Note: The KeyID/KeySecret scheme is very similar to the AuthKey scheme used in various Cloud service providers to authenticate users.

Example: signer.ExternalCrypto.KeyID = "MainSigningKey"; signer.ExternalCrypto.KeySecret = "abcdef0123456789";

Data Type

String

Config Method (SSHClient Class)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* Config(const char* lpszConfigurationString);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR Config(LPCWSTR lpszConfigurationString);
char* secureblackbox_sshclient_config(void* lpObj, const char* lpszConfigurationString);
QString Config(const QString& qsConfigurationString);

Remarks

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

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

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

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

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

Connect Method (SSHClient Class)

Establishes connection to an SSH server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Connect(const char* lpszAddress, int iPort);

Unicode (Windows)
INT Connect(LPCWSTR lpszAddress, INT iPort);
int secureblackbox_sshclient_connect(void* lpObj, const char* lpszAddress, int iPort);
int Connect(const QString& qsAddress, int iPort);

Remarks

Use this method to connect to the SSH server by providing its Address and Port.

Before connecting to the server you might want to set up your credentials using Username and Password properties. You might also need to configure the server key validation routine. You can do this by subscribing to KnownKeyReceived and UnknownKeyReceived events and implementing the event handlers as required.

Adjust AsyncMode before connecting to switch the component to either synchronous or asynchronous mode. In synchronous mode, all the calls to the component, such as Connect or SendBytes, are executed within the context of the caller thread, and block until the action completes. In asynchronous mode, the component runs the SSH session in a background thread, which makes all such calls return immediately. Find out more about the modes in the AsyncMode topic.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

ConnectAndExec Method (SSHClient Class)

Connects to an SSH server and executes a command in one go.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* ConnectAndExec(const char* lpszAddress, int iPort, const char* lpszCommand, int bWantStdout, int bWantStdErr, int *lpSize = NULL);

Unicode (Windows)
LPSTR ConnectAndExec(LPCWSTR lpszAddress, INT iPort, LPCWSTR lpszCommand, BOOL bWantStdout, BOOL bWantStdErr, LPINT lpSize = NULL);
char* secureblackbox_sshclient_connectandexec(void* lpObj, const char* lpszAddress, int iPort, const char* lpszCommand, int bWantStdout, int bWantStdErr, int *lpSize);
QByteArray ConnectAndExec(const QString& qsAddress, int iPort, const QString& qsCommand, bool bWantStdout, bool bWantStdErr);

Remarks

Use this method to connect to an SSH server at Address and Port and execute a command. The method returns the output of the executed command.

This method is a handy shortcut for running non-interactive commands. It encapsulates calls to Connect, Receive, Disconnect internally to save you time and space.

Please note that ConnectAndExec always runs synchronously, thus ignoring the AsyncMode setting.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a Byte Array value (with length lpSize); after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

Disconnect Method (SSHClient Class)

Closes connection to the SSH server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Disconnect();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Disconnect();
int secureblackbox_sshclient_disconnect(void* lpObj);
int Disconnect();

Remarks

Call this method to terminate the active SSH connection.

Please note that in some cases the component may still have some inbound data cached internally even after the connection is closed. You can read that data out using Receive and/or ReceiveBytes methods.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

DoAction Method (SSHClient Class)

Performs an additional action.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* DoAction(const char* lpszActionID, const char* lpszActionParams);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR DoAction(LPCWSTR lpszActionID, LPCWSTR lpszActionParams);
char* secureblackbox_sshclient_doaction(void* lpObj, const char* lpszActionID, const char* lpszActionParams);
QString DoAction(const QString& qsActionID, const QString& qsActionParams);

Remarks

DoAction is a generic method available in every class. It is used to perform an additional action introduced after the product major release. The list of actions is not fixed, and may be flexibly extended over time.

The unique identifier (case insencitive) of the action is provided in the ActionID parameter.

ActionParams contains the value of a single parameter, or a list of multiple parameters for the action in the form of PARAM1=VALUE1;PARAM2=VALUE2;....

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

Ping Method (SSHClient Class)

Sends a keep-alive request to the SSH server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Ping();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Ping();
int secureblackbox_sshclient_ping(void* lpObj);
int Ping();

Remarks

Use this method to send a keep-alive message to the SSH server. Keep-alive messages are empty data packets which carry no useful information but are a handy way of checking if the connection is still alive.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

Poll Method (SSHClient Class)

Checks whether there is any inbound data readily available.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Poll(int iMilliseconds);

Unicode (Windows)
INT Poll(INT iMilliseconds);
int secureblackbox_sshclient_poll(void* lpObj, int iMilliseconds);
bool Poll(int iMilliseconds);

Remarks

Use this method to check whether there is any incoming data available in the connection. If this method returns true, you can read the data with Receive or ReceiveBytes calls.

Use the Milliseconds parameter to tell the component how long it can wait for the data to arrive.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a Boolean value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

Receive Method (SSHClient Class)

Reads a portion of received data into a string.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* Receive();

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR Receive();
char* secureblackbox_sshclient_receive(void* lpObj);
QString Receive();

Remarks

Use this method to read out a piece of data received from the server into a string.

Note that in synchronous mode this method may block in the absence of any inbound data until the next piece of data is received from the server. Use Poll to check if there is any data in the connection that is immediately available for reading.

In asynchronous mode a good time to call this method is upon receiving a read notification in DataReceived event handler. When working in asynchronous mode, this call returns immediately.

This method only returns data that arrives via the stdout channel. Use ReceiveFrom to read stderr data.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

ReceiveBytes Method (SSHClient Class)

Reads a portion of received data into a byte array.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* ReceiveBytes(int iMaxLen, int *lpSize = NULL);

Unicode (Windows)
LPSTR ReceiveBytes(INT iMaxLen, LPINT lpSize = NULL);
char* secureblackbox_sshclient_receivebytes(void* lpObj, int iMaxLen, int *lpSize);
QByteArray ReceiveBytes(int iMaxLen);

Remarks

Use this method to read out a piece of data received from the server into a byte array. Control the maximum length of the data chunk with the MaxLen parameter.

Note that in synchronous mode this method may block in the absence of any inbound data until the next piece of data is received from the server. Use Poll to check if there is any data in the connection that is immediately available for reading.

In asynchronous mode a good time to call this method is upon receiving a read notification in DataReceived event handler. When working in asynchronous mode, this call returns immediately.

This method only returns data that arrives via the stdout channel. Use ReceiveBytesFrom to read stderr data.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a Byte Array value (with length lpSize); after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

ReceiveBytesFrom Method (SSHClient Class)

Reads a portion of data received via a specific channel into a byte array.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* ReceiveBytesFrom(int iChannel, int iMaxLen, int *lpSize = NULL);

Unicode (Windows)
LPSTR ReceiveBytesFrom(INT iChannel, INT iMaxLen, LPINT lpSize = NULL);
char* secureblackbox_sshclient_receivebytesfrom(void* lpObj, int iChannel, int iMaxLen, int *lpSize);
QByteArray ReceiveBytesFrom(int iChannel, int iMaxLen);

Remarks

Use this method to read out a piece of data received from the server into a byte array. Specify the channel that you are interested in reading from (0 for stdout, 1 for stderr) via the Channel parameter, and control the maximum length of the data chunk with the MaxLen parameter.

Note that in synchronous mode this method may block in the absence of any inbound data until the next piece of data is received from the server. Use Poll to check if there is any data in the connection that is immediately available for reading.

In asynchronous mode a good time to call this method is upon receiving a read notification in DataReceived event handler. When working in asynchronous mode, this call returns immediately.

Please also note that stdout and stderr channels are fully independent, which implies that data arriving via each channel should be read out separately.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a Byte Array value (with length lpSize); after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

ReceiveFrom Method (SSHClient Class)

Reads a portion of data received via a specific channel into a string.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* ReceiveFrom(int iChannel);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR ReceiveFrom(INT iChannel);
char* secureblackbox_sshclient_receivefrom(void* lpObj, int iChannel);
QString ReceiveFrom(int iChannel);

Remarks

Use this method to read out a piece of data received from the server into a string. Use the Channel parameter to specify the channel that you would like to read from (0 for stdout, 1 for stderr).

Note that in synchronous mode this method may block in the absence of any inbound data until the next piece of data is received from the server. Use Poll to check if there is any data in the connection that is immediately available for reading.

In asynchronous mode a good time to call this method is upon receiving a read notification in DataReceived event handler. When working in asynchronous mode, this call returns immediately.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

Send Method (SSHClient Class)

Sends a string to the server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Send(const char* lpszDataStr, int bAddEOL);

Unicode (Windows)
INT Send(LPCWSTR lpszDataStr, BOOL bAddEOL);
int secureblackbox_sshclient_send(void* lpObj, const char* lpszDataStr, int bAddEOL);
int Send(const QString& qsDataStr, bool bAddEOL);

Remarks

Use this method to send DataStr to the remote command's stdin channel. Set the AddEOL parameter to true to append the end-of-line character to the string automatically.

Note that in synchronous mode this method may block until the whole string is commited to the network connection. In asynchronous mode this method returns immediately; the application is eventually notified that the data has been sent via the DataSent event.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

SendBytes Method (SSHClient Class)

Sends an array of bytes to the server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int SendBytes(const char* lpData, int lenData);

Unicode (Windows)
INT SendBytes(LPCSTR lpData, INT lenData);
int secureblackbox_sshclient_sendbytes(void* lpObj, const char* lpData, int lenData);
int SendBytes(QByteArray qbaData);

Remarks

Use this method to send Data to the remote command's stdin channel.

Note that in synchronous mode this method may block until the whole byte array is commited to the network connection. In asynchronous mode this method returns immediately; the application is eventually notified that the data has been sent via the DataSent event.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

SendSpecial Method (SSHClient Class)

Sends a special character to the server or remote command.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int SendSpecial(const char* lpszSpecialChar);

Unicode (Windows)
INT SendSpecial(LPCWSTR lpszSpecialChar);
int secureblackbox_sshclient_sendspecial(void* lpObj, const char* lpszSpecialChar);
int SendSpecial(const QString& qsSpecialChar);

Remarks

Use this method to send a special or control character to the SSH server or the command being executed. Specify the character id via the SpecialChar parameter.

Currently the only supported special character is "eof", which is sometimes used as a way to close the stdin channel gracefully.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

AuthAttempt Event (SSHClient Class)

Fires when a single authentication attempt is performed.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireAuthAttempt(SSHClientAuthAttemptEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int AuthType; int reserved; } SSHClientAuthAttemptEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireAuthAttempt(SSHClientAuthAttemptEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
INT AuthType; INT reserved; } SSHClientAuthAttemptEventParams;
#define EID_SSHCLIENT_AUTHATTEMPT 1

virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireAuthAttempt(INT &iAuthType);
class SSHClientAuthAttemptEventParams {
public:
  int AuthType();

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void AuthAttempt(SSHClientAuthAttemptEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass SSHClient and override this emitter function. virtual int FireAuthAttempt(SSHClientAuthAttemptEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

This event is fired each time a single authentication attempt is performed. AuthType parameter specifies the type of authentication. Note, this event could be fired more than once if the client tries different authentication methods one after another.

AuthFailed Event (SSHClient Class)

Fires when a single authentication attempt is failed.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireAuthFailed(SSHClientAuthFailedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int AuthenticationType; int reserved; } SSHClientAuthFailedEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireAuthFailed(SSHClientAuthFailedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
INT AuthenticationType; INT reserved; } SSHClientAuthFailedEventParams;
#define EID_SSHCLIENT_AUTHFAILED 2

virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireAuthFailed(INT &iAuthenticationType);
class SSHClientAuthFailedEventParams {
public:
  int AuthenticationType();

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void AuthFailed(SSHClientAuthFailedEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass SSHClient and override this emitter function. virtual int FireAuthFailed(SSHClientAuthFailedEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

This event is fired each time a single authentication attempt fails. AuthType parameter specifies the type of authentication.

As SSH may try a number of authentication attempts of different types or with different parameters (such as public keys) during one session, this event may be fired more than once. It is not critical and may not lead to closing of the connection.

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void ExternalSign(SSHClientExternalSignEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass SSHClient and override this emitter function. virtual int FireExternalSign(SSHClientExternalSignEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

Assign a handler to this event if you need to delegate a low-level signing operation to an external, remote, or custom signing engine. Depending on the settings, the handler will receive a hashed or unhashed value to be signed.

The event handler must pass the value of Data to the signer, obtain the signature, and pass it back to the component via SignedData parameter.

OperationId provides a comment about the operation and its origin. It depends on the exact component being used, and may be empty. HashAlgorithm specifies the hash algorithm being used for the operation, and Pars contain algorithm-dependent parameters.

The component uses base16 (hex) encoding for Data, SignedData, and Pars parameters. If your signing engine uses a different input and output encoding, you may need to decode and/or encode the data before and/or after the signing.

A sample MD5 hash encoded in base16: a0dee2a0382afbb09120ffa7ccd8a152 - lower case base16 A0DEE2A0382AFBB09120FFA7CCD8A152 - upper case base16

A sample event handler that uses a .NET RSACryptoServiceProvider class may look like the following: signer.OnExternalSign += (s, e) => { var cert = new X509Certificate2("cert.pfx", "", X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable); var key = (RSACryptoServiceProvider)cert.PrivateKey; var dataToSign = e.Data.FromBase16String(); var signedData = key.SignHash(dataToSign, "2.16.840.1.101.3.4.2.1"); e.SignedData = signedData.ToBase16String(); };

The details of the key are provided: Algorithm and Bits specify the key algorithm and the number of bits. FingerprintSHA256 contains the key's fingerprint.

In this event handler, you need to make a decision whether to proceed with the connection. Use Action to tell the class what it should do with the key:

catAcceptOnce1Accept the key for the current session only.
catAcceptPermanently2Accept the key for the current session and store the key to the trusted keys list.
catReject3Reject the key and close the connection.
Note that accepting an unknown and unchecked key may be risky.

Config Settings (SSHClient Class)

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

SSHClient Config Settings

BlockSize:   The data block size.

This property specifies the data block size to use.

ErrorOrigin:   Specifies whether the error is local or remote.

Use this property to check where the error took place.

ErrorSeverity:   Specifies whether the error is fatal.

Use this property to check whether the error is fatal or not.

LocalCharset:   Charset used on the client machine.

This property specifies the charset used on the local client computer.

RemoteCharset:   Charset used on the server.

This property specifies the charset used on the server.

SendCommandEOF:   Defines whether EOF control character should be sent after the command data.

Enable this property to enforce sending of a trailing EOF character after the command data.

ThrottleControl:   Enables or disables throttle control for the connection.

Use this property to enable or disable throttle control.

UseStrictKeyExchange:   Specifies how strict key exchange is supported.

This setting controls whether strict key exchange (strict kex) is enabled to mitigate the Terrapin attack. When enabled, the class will indicate support for strict key exchange by automatically including the pseudo-algorithm kex-strict-c-v00@openssh.com for client classes and kex-strict-s-v00@openssh.com for server classes in the list of supported key exchange algorithms.

Since both client and server must implement strict key exchange to effectively mitigate the Terrapin attack, the class provides options to further control the behavior in different scenarios. Possible values for this setting are:

0Disabled. Strict key exchange is not supported in the class.
1 (default)Enabled, but not enforced. This setting enables strict key exchange, but if the remote host does not support strict key exchange the connection is still allowed to continue.
2Enabled, but reject affected algorithms if the remote host does not support strict key exchange. If the remote host supports strict key exchange all algorithms may be used. If the remote host does not support strict key exchange the connection will only continue if the selected encryption and MAC algorithms are not affected by the Terrapin attack.
3Required. If the remote host does not support strict key exchange the connection will fail.

Base Config Settings

CheckKeyIntegrityBeforeUse:   Enables or disable private key integrity check before use.

This global property enables or disables private key material check before each signing operation. This slows down performance a bit, but prevents a selection of attacks on RSA keys where keys with unknown origins are used.

You can switch this property off to improve performance if your project only uses known, good private keys.

CookieCaching:   Specifies whether a cookie cache should be used for HTTP(S) transports.

Set this property to enable or disable cookies caching for the class.

Supported values are:

offNo caching (default)
localLocal caching
globalGlobal caching

Cookies:   Gets or sets local cookies for the class.

Use this property to get cookies from the internal cookie storage of the class and/or restore them back between application sessions.

DefDeriveKeyIterations:   Specifies the default key derivation algorithm iteration count.

This global property sets the default number of iterations for all supported key derivation algorithms. Note that you can provide the required number of iterations by using properties of the relevant key generation component; this global setting is used in scenarios where specific iteration count is not or cannot be provided.

EnableClientSideSSLFFDHE:   Enables or disables finite field DHE key exchange support in TLS clients.

This global property enables or disables support for finite field DHE key exchange methods in TLS clients. FF DHE is a slower algorithm if compared to EC DHE; enabling it may result in slower connections.

This setting only applies to sessions negotiated with TLS version 1.3.

GlobalCookies:   Gets or sets global cookies for all the HTTP transports.

Use this property to get cookies from the GLOBAL cookie storage or restore them back between application sessions. These cookies will be used by all the classes that have its CookieCaching property set to "global".

HttpUserAgent:   Specifies the user agent name to be used by all HTTP clients.

This global setting defines the User-Agent field of the HTTP request provides information about the software that initiates the request. This value will be used by all the HTTP clients including the ones used internally in other classes.

include-methodInclude a method specified in the value

LogFlushMode:   Specifies the log flush mode.

Use this property to set the log flush mode. The following values are defined:

noneNo flush (caching only)
immediateImmediate flush (real-time logging)
maxcountFlush cached entries upon reaching LogMaxEventCount entries in the cache.

LogLevel:   Specifies the debug log level.

Use this property to provide the desired debug log level.

Supported values are:

noneNone (by default)
fatalSevere errors that cause premature termination.
errorOther runtime errors or unexpected conditions.
warningUse of deprecated APIs, poor use of API, 'almost' errors, other runtime situations that are undesirable or unexpected, but not necessarily "wrong".
infoInteresting runtime events (startup/shutdown).
debugDetailed information on flow of through the system.
traceMore detailed information.

LogMaxEventCount:   Specifies the maximum number of events to cache before further action is taken.

MaxASN1BufferLength:   Specifies the maximal allowed length for ASN.1 primitive tag data.

This global property limits the maximal allowed length for ASN.1 tag data for non-content-carrying structures, such as certificates, CRLs, or timestamps. It does not affect structures that can carry content, such as CMS/CAdES messages. This is a security property aiming at preventing DoS attacks.

MaxASN1TreeDepth:   Specifies the maximal depth for processed ASN.1 trees.

This global property limits the maximal depth of ASN.1 trees that the component can handle without throwing an error. This is a security property aiming at preventing DoS attacks.

OCSPHashAlgorithm:   Specifies the hash algorithm to be used to identify certificates in OCSP requests.

This global setting defines the hash algorithm to use in OCSP requests during chain validation. Some OCSP responders can only use older algorithms, in which case setting this property to SHA1 may be helpful.

StaticDNS:   Specifies whether static DNS rules should be used.

Set this property to enable or disable static DNS rules for the class. Works only if UseOwnDNSResolver is set to true.

Supported values are:

noneNo static DNS rules (default)
localLocal static DNS rules
globalGlobal static DNS rules

StaticIPAddress[domain]:   Gets or sets an IP address for the specified domain name.

Use this property to get or set an IP address for the specified domain name in the internal (of the class) or global DNS rules storage depending on the StaticDNS value. The type of the IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) is determined automatically. If both addresses are available, they are devided by the | (pipe) character.

StaticIPAddresses:   Gets or sets all the static DNS rules.

Use this property to get static DNS rules from the current rules storage or restore them back between application sessions. If StaticDNS of the class is set to "local", the property returns/restores the rules from/to the internal storage of the class. If StaticDNS of the class is set to "global", the property returns/restores the rules from/to the GLOBAL storage. The rules list is returned and accepted in JSON format.

Tag:   Allows to store any custom data.

Use this config property to store any custom data.

TLSSessionGroup:   Specifies the group name of TLS sessions to be used for session resumption.

Use this property to limit the search of chached TLS sessions to the specified group. Sessions from other groups will be ignored. By default, all sessions are cached with an empty group name and available to all the classes.

TLSSessionLifetime:   Specifies lifetime in seconds of the cached TLS session.

Use this property to specify how much time the TLS session should be kept in the session cache. After this time, the session expires and will be automatically removed from the cache. Default value is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

TLSSessionPurgeInterval:   Specifies how often the session cache should remove the expired TLS sessions.

Use this property to specify the time interval of purging the expired TLS sessions from the session cache. Default value is 60 seconds (1 minute).

UseOwnDNSResolver:   Specifies whether the client components should use own DNS resolver.

Set this global property to false to force all the client components to use the DNS resolver provided by the target OS instead of using own one.

UseSharedSystemStorages:   Specifies whether the validation engine should use a global per-process copy of the system certificate stores.

Set this global property to false to make each validation run use its own copy of system certificate stores.

UseSystemOAEPAndPSS:   Enforces or disables the use of system-driven RSA OAEP and PSS computations.

This global setting defines who is responsible for performing RSA-OAEP and RSA-PSS computations where the private key is stored in a Windows system store and is exportable. If set to true, SBB will delegate the computations to Windows via a CryptoAPI call. Otherwise, it will export the key material and perform the computations using its own OAEP/PSS implementation.

This setting only applies to certificates originating from a Windows system store.

UseSystemRandom:   Enables or disables the use of the OS PRNG.

Use this global property to enable or disable the use of operating system-driven pseudorandom number generation.

Trappable Errors (SSHClient Class)

Error Handling (C++)

Call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain the last called method's result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. Known error codes are listed below. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.
