Configure a Socket for Server-Side TLS

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.InitSslServer, which configures the object for server-side TLS using a server certificate that has access to its private key, then listens for and accepts a TLS connection.

The file path is relative to the application's current working directory. An absolute path may also be used. Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.

bool success = false;

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

//  The file path is relative to the application's current working directory.  An absolute path
//  may also be used.  Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.
//  The PFX password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
string pfxPassword = "myPfxPassword";
Chilkat.Cert cert = new Chilkat.Cert();
success = cert.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/server.pfx",pfxPassword);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(cert.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Configure this object for server-side TLS using the certificate.  The certificate must have
//  access to its corresponding private key.
success = socket.InitSslServer(cert);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Listen for connections.  Accepted connections will use TLS.
success = socket.BindAndListen(5000,25);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Chilkat.Socket connectedSock = new Chilkat.Socket();
success = socket.AcceptNext(20000,connectedSock);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine("Accepted a TLS client connection.");
