TelnetS Component [IP*Works! SSL V8]

Properties   Methods   Events   Configuration Settings  

The TelnetS component is used to communicate with servers implementing the TELNET protocol.

NOTE: What follows is a very short description of the component interfaces. For more information, please consult the help files that come with the respective package.

Remarks

The TelnetS component is the SSL-enabled equivalent of the IP*Works! Telnet component. The main difference is the introduction of a set of new configuration settings, properties and events that deal with SSL security. The SSLProvider configuration setting chooses a security provider subsystem. The SSLEnabledProtocols and SSLCipherStrength configuration settings determine which protocols are enabled and at what security level. The property is used to select a client certificate if the server is requesting client authentication. The SSLSecurityFlags configuration setting, together with the event allow you to check the server identity and other security attributes. Finally, the event provides information about the SSL handshake.

The TelnetS component provides a simple interface to Telnet communications as specified by RFC 854. It allows sending of Telnet command codes to remote Telnet servers and it scans the input data for Telnet commands. Appropriate events are fired for received commands.

The connection interface is very similar to that of IPPort. The same properties and events are used for sending and receiving normal data, and the same property set is used for setting properties of the connection. The TelnetS component adds a number of properties like , , etc. which allow sending of Telnet commands to the other end. The respective events (, , etc.) are fired when the corresponding Telnet commands are received.
