SSL Server Example

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates how to create an SSL socket for accepting connections. This example is *very* simple in that it will create an SSL socket for accepting a single connection. It will read a message from the client, send a reply, and exit. C#

bool success = false;

//  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
//  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Chilkat.Socket listenSslSocket = new Chilkat.Socket();

//  An SSL server needs a digital certificate.  This example loads it from a PFX file.

//  Create an instance of a certificate store object, load a PFX file,
//  locate the certificate we need, and use it.
//  (a PFX file may contain more than one certificate.)
Chilkat.CertStore certStore = new Chilkat.CertStore();
//  The 1st argument is the filename, the 2nd arg is the 
//  PFX file's password:
success = certStore.LoadPfxFile("chilkat.pfx","test");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(certStore.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Find the certificate to be used for SSL:
Chilkat.JsonObject jsonCN = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
jsonCN.UpdateString("CN","example.com");

Chilkat.Cert cert = new Chilkat.Cert();
success = certStore.FindCert(jsonCN,cert);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(certStore.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Use the certificate:
success = listenSslSocket.InitSslServer(cert);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(listenSslSocket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Bind and listen on a port:
int myPort = 8123;
//  Allow for a max of 5 queued connect requests.
int backLog = 5;
success = listenSslSocket.BindAndListen(myPort,backLog);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(listenSslSocket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  If accepting an SSL/TLS connection, the SSL handshake is part of the connection
//  establishment process. This involves a few back-and-forth messages between the 
//  client and server to establish algorithms and a shared key to create the secure 
//  channel. The sending and receiving of these messages are governed by the 
//  MaxReadIdleMs and MaxSendIdleMs properties. If these properties are set to 0 
//  (and this is the default unless changed by your application), then the 
//  AcceptNext can hang indefinitely during the SSL handshake process. 
//  Make sure these properties are set to appropriate values before calling AcceptNext.

//  Set a 10 second max for waiting to read/write.  This is for the SSL/TLS handshake establishment.
listenSslSocket.MaxReadIdleMs = 10000;
listenSslSocket.MaxSendIdleMs = 10000;

//  Accept a single client connection and establish the secure SSL/TLS channel:
int maxWaitMillisec = 20000;
Chilkat.Socket clientSock = new Chilkat.Socket();
success = listenSslSocket.AcceptNext(maxWaitMillisec,clientSock);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(listenSslSocket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  The client (in this example) is going to send a "Hello Server! -EOM-" 
//  message.  Read it:
string receivedMsg = clientSock.ReceiveUntilMatch("-EOM-");
if (clientSock.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(clientSock.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine(receivedMsg);

//  Send a "Hello Client! -EOM-" message:
success = clientSock.SendString("Hello Client! -EOM-");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(clientSock.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Close the connection with the client
//  Wait a max of 20 seconds (20000 millsec)
success = clientSock.Close(20000);
