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.

integer li_rc
integer li_Success
oleobject loo_Socket
string ls_PfxPassword
oleobject loo_Cert
oleobject loo_ConnectedSock

li_Success = 0

loo_Socket = create oleobject
li_rc = loo_Socket.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Socket")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Socket
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if

//  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.
ls_PfxPassword = "myPfxPassword"
loo_Cert = create oleobject
li_rc = loo_Cert.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Cert")

li_Success = loo_Cert.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/server.pfx",ls_PfxPassword)
if li_Success = 0 then
    Write-Debug loo_Cert.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Socket
    destroy loo_Cert
    return
end if

//  Configure this object for server-side TLS using the certificate.  The certificate must have
//  access to its corresponding private key.
li_Success = loo_Socket.InitSslServer(loo_Cert)
if li_Success = 0 then
    Write-Debug loo_Socket.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Socket
    destroy loo_Cert
    return
end if

//  Listen for connections.  Accepted connections will use TLS.
li_Success = loo_Socket.BindAndListen(5000,25)
if li_Success = 0 then
    Write-Debug loo_Socket.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Socket
    destroy loo_Cert
