Swift Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

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. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    let listenSslSocket = CkoSocket()!

    //  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.)
    let certStore = CkoCertStore()!
    //  The 1st argument is the filename, the 2nd arg is the 
    //  PFX file's password:
    success = certStore.loadPfxFile(path: "chilkat.pfx", password: "test")
    if success == false {
        print("\(certStore.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    //  Find the certificate to be used for SSL:
    let jsonCN = CkoJsonObject()!
    jsonCN.updateString(jsonPath: "CN", value: "example.com")

    let cert = CkoCert()!
    success = certStore.findCert(json: jsonCN, cert: cert)
    if success == false {
        print("\(certStore.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    //  Use the certificate:
    success = listenSslSocket.initSslServer(cert: cert)
    if success == false {
        print("\(listenSslSocket.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    //  Bind and listen on a port:
    var myPort: Int = 8123
    //  Allow for a max of 5 queued connect requests.
    var backLog: Int = 5
    success = listenSslSocket.bindAndListen(port: myPort, backlog: backLog)
    if success == false {
        print("\(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:
    var maxWaitMillisec: Int = 20000
    let clientSock = CkoSocket()!
    success = listenSslSocket.acceptNext(maxWaitMs: maxWaitMillisec, socket: clientSock)
    if success == false {
        print("\(listenSslSocket.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    //  The client (in this example) is going to send a "Hello Server! -EOM-" 
    //  message.  Read it:
    var receivedMsg: String? = clientSock.receive(untilMatch: "-EOM-")
    if clientSock.lastMethodSuccess == false {
        print("\(clientSock.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    print("\(receivedMsg!)")

    //  Send a "Hello Client! -EOM-" message:
    success = clientSock.sendString(str: "Hello Client! -EOM-")
    if success == false {
        print("\(clientSock.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

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