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.

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$success = $false

$socket = New-Object 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.
$pfxPassword = "myPfxPassword"
$cert = New-Object Chilkat.Cert
$success = $cert.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/server.pfx",$pfxPassword)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($cert.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

#  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 -eq $false) {
    $($socket.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

#  Listen for connections.  Accepted connections will use TLS.
$success = $socket.BindAndListen(5000,25)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($socket.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

$connectedSock = New-Object Chilkat.Socket
$success = $socket.AcceptNext(20000,$connectedSock)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($socket.LastErrorText)
    exit
}
