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.

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

// locate the certificate we need, and use it.

// PFX file's password:

    // 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.
