PTechGiftCard Component
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The PTechGiftCard component is used to manipulate funds on Stored Value (Gift) Cards with the Paymentech NetConnect system on the Tampa platform. This component supports card-present gift card transactions, and allows for simple, direct, secure communication to the Paymentech TLS/SSL gateway through a standard Internet connection. This component can be integrated into web pages or stand- alone Point Of Sale applications. Because all TLS/SSL communications are handled inside the component, any application or web page can be deployed without the need for expensive dedicated TLS/SSL servers.

Remarks
A Stored Value Card (or Gift Card as they are commonly called) is a not actually a type of credit or debit card. Simply put, a Stored Value Card is a card with a magnetic strip on the back that holds information about monies that have been "pre-paid" into an account for the purpose of making financial transactions. Examples include a retailer's gift card, a prepaid telephone card, a college campus meal plan card, a reloadable subway pass, etcetera. Not included are government income-support cards, otherwise known as EBT cards or electronic food stamps.
There just a few steps to setting up the component and sending transactions. First, set the MerchantNumber, TerminalNumber, ClientNumber, UserId, and Password with the information given to you when you signed up for Paymentech service. You should also set your PINCapability and CashRegisterId at this time.
After the merchant information is setup, you may enter transaction data. When the EntryDataSource is Manually Entered, the merchant should fill the Number, ExpMonth, and ExpYear fields. Otherwise, you should fill the MagneticStripe field with the Track 2 data read from the back of the card, and set EntryDataSource to Track2. These are the only two Entry Data Sources supported for Stored Value (Gift) Cards.
Now you must choose what transaction you wish to make. Adding Value to a card, Redeeming a card, voiding a previous transaction, or retrieving the card's current balance.
To add funds to an existing Gift Card, simply set the TransactionAmount with the amount to add to the card, and then call AddValue. Activating a new gift card is handled the same way. If the card indicated by MagneticStripe (or Number) has not yet been activated, calling AddValue will automatically activate it with the amount indicated by TransactionAmount.
To redeem funds from a Gift Card due to a customer purchase, set TransactionAmount to the total for the purchase and call RedeemCard. If the Gift Card account contains enough funds, Code will indicate the card was approved. If there are not enough funds available on the card to cover the TransactionAmount, normally the transaction will be declined. However, the merchant may set PartialRedemption to True. This allows the customer to split the cost of the purchase between the Gift Card and another form of payment. Instead of declining the Gift Card, AuthorizedAmount will contain the amount deducted from the Gift Card. The merchant may subtract that from TransactionAmount to determine the difference to charge the customer.
Finally, you may inquire as to the total funds contained on the card by calling BalanceInquiry. This will not effect the amount of funds contained on the card in any way.
The status of any of the above transactions will be stored in the Code field, with human-readable text appearing in Text. Like the PTechCharge component, there are several other Response fields which will contain data that should be logged. However, there are a few new fields specific to the PTechGiftCard component: Balance will be returned after all transactions except VoidTransaction, and will contain the current balance of the Gift Card. PreviousBalance will indicate the balance BEFORE the last transaction went through. The Trace field is used for tracking after the sale, and must be printed on every customer receipt.
Gift Card transactions are instant funds transfers. There is no block placed on the debit card, funds are immediately removed and sent to the merchant. Therefore, only the Host Capture settlement mode is supported. At the end of the day you should release the current batch using the PTechHostSettle component (the batch may contain other authorizations that were made using different components from this product. See the documentation for the other components you are using for more information).

This is a purely optional field for the Host Capture SettlementMode, and you may choose to send a unique number or simply send every transaction with zeros. The host will echo the sequence number submitted from the authorization request back in the SequenceNumber field.
However, if you are processing with the Terminal Capture SettlementMode, SequenceNumber CANNOT remain zero, and must contain a number that is incremented for each transaction you authorized. When it reaches 2400, the SequenceNumber should then start over at 1 again.
Server Property (PTechGiftCard Component)
The URL for the PaymenTech NetConnect server.
Syntax
Default Value
"https://netconnect1.chasepaymentech.com/NetConnect/controller"
Remarks
This property contains the server to which all transactions are sent.
SSLAcceptServerCert Property (PTechGiftCard Component)

Syntax
public PtechgiftcardSSLProviders SSLProvider { get; set; }
enum PtechgiftcardSSLProviders { sslpAutomatic, sslpPlatform, sslpInternal }
Public Property SSLProvider As PtechgiftcardSSLProviders
Enum PtechgiftcardSSLProviders sslpAutomatic sslpPlatform sslpInternal End Enum
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use. In most cases the default value of 0 (Automatic) is recommended and should not be changed. When set to 0 (Automatic) the component will select whether to use the platform implementation or the internal implementation depending on the operating system as well as the TLS version being used.
Possible values are:
0 (sslpAutomatic - default) | Automatically selects the appropriate implementation. |
1 (sslpPlatform) | Uses the platform/system implementation. |
2 (sslpInternal) | Uses the internal implementation. |
In most cases using the default value (Automatic) is recommended. The component will select a provider depending on the current platform.
When Automatic is selected, on Windows the component will use the platform implementation. On Linux/macOS the component will use the internal implementation. When TLS 1.3 is enabled via SSLEnabledProtocols the internal implementation is used on all platforms.
The .NET Standard library will always use the internal implementation on all platforms.
SSLServerCert Property (PTechGiftCard Component)
The server certificate for the last established connection.
Syntax
public Certificate SSLServerCert { get; }
Public ReadOnly Property SSLServerCert As Certificate
Remarks
SSLServerCert contains the server certificate for the last established connection.

Syntax
Default Value
""
Remarks
3-digit field assigned by Paymentech, which identifies the terminal to the host.
Timeout Property (PTechGiftCard Component)
A timeout for the component.
Syntax
Default Value
60
Remarks
If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations will run uninterrupted until successful completion or an error condition is encountered.
If Timeout is set to a positive value, the component will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.
The component will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not "freeze" and remains responsive.
If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the component throws an exception.
Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, i.e. the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.
The default value for the Timeout property is 60 seconds.
TransactionAmount Property (PTechGiftCard Component)
Purchase amount for an authorization.
Syntax
Default Value
""
Remarks
This field contains the transaction amount to be authorized. The transaction amount is presented in US Dollars with a decimal point in the proper position. If sending a Debit transaction and the customer requests cash back, the TransactionAmount must include the total cost of the purchase, PLUS the DebitCashBack amount.
This must be formatted as a dollar amount with a real decimal point, excluding the dollar sign. For instance "12.00"
UserId Property (PTechGiftCard Component)
UserId for authentication with the NetConnect Server .
Syntax
Default Value
""
Remarks
The UserId will be supplied to you by PaymenTech.
ActivateCard Method (PTechGiftCard Component)
Activates a Gift Card.
Syntax
public void ActivateCard();
Public Sub ActivateCard()
Remarks
Stored value Activation transactions provide merchants the ability to activate a new stored value card on the Chase Paymentech stored value host. Activation transactions can only be performed on cards that have not been previously activated. Activation transactions are usually used by merchants who wish to identify how many new stored value cards have been issued, from the previously activated stored value cards that have had additional value issued. Merchants have the ability to activate stored value cards with a host configured pre-denominated TransactionAmount or activate the cards with a flexible TransactionAmount. With pre-denominated cards, dependent on host configurations, the stored value host will either approve the transaction for the amount that the pre-denominated card is setup for (regardless of the amount keyed), or decline the transaction if the amount keyed at the Point-of-Sale if the amount doesn't match the amount identified on the card.
This transaction is automatically added to the current open batch, and will be settled when the PTechHostSettle component's BatchRelease method is called.
The gift card may be specified by either a MagneticStripe returned by a card reader, (Track2 only), or manually entered through the Number, ExpMonth, and ExpYear.A 3-digit Card Verification Value code may also be supplied in the CVVData field.
The Code and Text fields indicate whether this transaction was successful.
Note: Activation transactions will fail at the stored value host if the card has been previously activated or has previously had value issued to it. Also, ActivateCard cannot be used to activate a card that has been deactivated via the DeactivateCard method. You must use the ReactivateCard method instead.
AddValue Method (PTechGiftCard Component)
Activates and/or adds funds to a Gift Card.
Syntax
public void AddValue();
Public Sub AddValue()
Remarks
AddValue transactions allows a merchant to issue or add value to a stored value card at the host. This transaction can be used on both new and existing stored value cards. The AddValue transaction can be used in place of an ActivateCard transaction.
AddValue transactions can be performed on a stored value card more than once over the lifetime of the card, as the cardholder chooses to "reload" the card.
Merchants have the ability to issue stored value cards with a host configured pre-denominated amount, or issue the cards with a flexible transaction amount. With pre-denominated cards, based on the selections indicated at sign-up, the stored value host will either approve the transaction for the amount that the pre-denominated card is setup for (regardless of the amount keyed), or decline the transaction if the amount keyed at the Point Of Sale doesn't match the amount identified on the card.
This transaction is automatically added to the current open batch, and will be settled when the PTechHostSettle component's BatchRelease method is called.
The gift card may be specified by either a MagneticStripe returned by a card reader, (Track2 only), or manually entered through the Number, ExpMonth, and ExpYear.A 3-digit Card Verification Value code may also be supplied in the CVVData field.
The Code and Text fields indicate whether this transaction was successful.
BalanceInquiry Method (PTechGiftCard Component)
Retrieves the balance remaining on a gift card.
Syntax
public void BalanceInquiry();
Public Sub BalanceInquiry()
Remarks
A BalanceInquiry transaction requests that the host return the quantity of funds remaining in the customer's Stored Value (Gift) Card. This transaction is not added to the batch and cannot be settled by the PTechHostSettle component. No charge is made to the customer's gift card.
The gift card may be specified by either a MagneticStripe returned by a card reader, (Track2 only), or manually entered through the Number, ExpMonth, and ExpYear.A 3-digit Card Verification Value code may also be supplied in the CVVData field.
The Code and Text fields indicate whether this transaction was successful. The Balance field will contain the card's current balance.
Config Method (PTechGiftCard Component)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
Remarks
Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the component.
These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.
To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).
To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.
DeactivateCard Method (PTechGiftCard Component)
Deactivates a gift card.
Syntax
public void DeactivateCard();
Public Sub DeactivateCard()
Remarks
A stored value Deactivation transaction is the process of removing the remaining balance from a card account and placing the card into an inactive status. This transaction is most often used when the cardholder has lost the card, yet still has the card number. The terminal will initiate a transaction to the host, which will redeem the total balance on the card. Once a card is deactivated, it can only be restored to circulation using the ReactivateCard method. Calling AddValue on a deactivated card will result in an error.
The gift card may be specified by either a MagneticStripe returned by a card reader, (Track2 only), or manually entered through the Number, ExpMonth, and ExpYear.A 3-digit Card Verification Value code may also be supplied in the CVVData field.
The Code and Text fields indicate whether this transaction was successful.
Interrupt Method (PTechGiftCard Component)
Interrupt the current method.
Syntax
public void Interrupt();
Public Sub Interrupt()
Remarks
If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.
ReactivateCard Method (PTechGiftCard Component)
Re-activates Gift Card that has been previously deactivated.
Syntax
public void ReactivateCard();
Public Sub ReactivateCard()
Remarks
This method re-activates and returns to circulation a Gift Card that was deactivated through the DeactivateCard method. Note that any balance that was present before the card was deactivated is lost, and the card starts fresh with a $0.00 balance. You must specify a TransactionAmount to initialize the reactivated card with funds (you cannot reactivate a card with a $0.00 TransactionAmount).
The gift card may be specified by either a MagneticStripe returned by a card reader, (Track2 only), or manually entered through the Number, ExpMonth, and ExpYear.A 3-digit Card Verification Value code may also be supplied in the CVVData field.
The Code and Text fields indicate whether this transaction was successful.
RedeemCard Method (PTechGiftCard Component)
Deducts funds from a gift card for the purchase of goods or services.
Syntax
public void RedeemCard();
Public Sub RedeemCard()
Remarks
A Redemption transaction is the process of deducting value from the Gift Card, and is very similar to a Credit Card Sale transaction, except that funds are immediately removed from the balance of the gift card. RedeemCard requests that the host verify and remove funds from the cardholder's Stored Value (Gift) Card. This transaction is automatically added to the current open batch, and will be settled when the PTechHostSettle component's BatchRelease method is called.
The gift card may be specified by either a MagneticStripe returned by a card reader, (Track2 only), or manually entered through the Number, ExpMonth, and ExpYear.A 3-digit Card Verification Value code may also be supplied in the CVVData field.
The Code and Text fields indicate whether this transaction was successful. The host will return either an approval if the card has the requested value, or a decline if the card has less than the requested value.
If the merchant allows it, at the time of purchase a customer my Cash Out his gift card, and receive the remainder of the gift card's stored value as cash. To cash out a gift card, set the CashOutIndicator to True before calling RedeemCard. The change to be returned to the customer (The gift card's total value minus the TransactionAmount) will be returned in CashOut, and the Balance will be "0.00".
In the case that the customer's gift card does not have enough funds to cover the entire TransactionAmount, the merchant may request that the host perform a Partial Redemption. With PartialRedemption set to True, the Point of Sale is capable of processing a Redemption transaction for more than the card balance and still receive an approval. All of the funds remaining on the gift card will be put towards the TransactionAmount, and the merchant will be required to obtain an additional form of payment for the remaining balance. The amount actually removed from the card will be returned in AuthorizedAmount, and the customer's receipt should indicate the remaining amount (TransactionAmount - AuthorizedAmount) due.
Reset Method (PTechGiftCard Component)
Clears all properties to their default values.
Syntax
public void Reset();
Public Sub Reset()
Remarks
This method clears all properties to their default values.
VoidTransaction Method (PTechGiftCard Component)
Voids a transaction in the current batch.
Syntax
Remarks
A stored value Void transaction allows the removal of a transaction from the open batch in the terminal. The void will communicate to the stored value host so that the host can reverse the requested stored value transaction.
The VoidTransaction method has two parameters, RetrievalNumberToVoid and LastRetrievalNumber. RetrievalNumberToVoid is the RetrievalNumber of the transaction you wish to void. LastRetrievalNumber should be set to the last RetrievalNumber received from the Paymentech Server. If LastRetrievalNumber is left blank, the contents of the RetrievalNumber field will be used instead.
Before sending a void, you must make sure that the Number field contains the card number from the original transaction. For example:
component.Card = new CCCard("4444333322221111", 1, 2010);
component.TransactionAmount = "1.00";
component.RedeemCard();
cnumToVoid = component.Card.CardNumber;
refNumToVoid = component.Response.RetrievalNumber;
... more sale transactions ...
'All that's needed for a void:
component.Card = new CCCard(cnumToVoid, -1, -1); // Expiration date will be ignored
component.SequenceNumber++;
component.VoidTransaction(refNumToVoid, component.Response.RetrievalNumber);
In the above void, if you use a new instance of the component or otherwise reset it's state, you must set the LastRetrievalNumber parameter as well.
Note: Voids cannot be performed on BalanceInquiry or Forced transactions.
DataPacketIn Event (PTechGiftCard Component)
Fired when receiving a data packet from the transaction server.
Syntax
public event OnDataPacketInHandler OnDataPacketIn; public delegate void OnDataPacketInHandler(object sender, PtechgiftcardDataPacketInEventArgs e); public class PtechgiftcardDataPacketInEventArgs : EventArgs { public string DataPacket { get; }
public byte[] DataPacketB { get; } }
Public Event OnDataPacketIn As OnDataPacketInHandler Public Delegate Sub OnDataPacketInHandler(sender As Object, e As PtechgiftcardDataPacketInEventArgs) Public Class PtechgiftcardDataPacketInEventArgs Inherits EventArgs Public ReadOnly Property DataPacket As String
Public ReadOnly Property DataPacketB As Byte() End Class
Remarks
This event fires when a packet is received. The entire data packet (including all framing and error detection characters) is contained in the parameter "DataPacket". This parameter may be inspected for advanced troubleshooting, or to extract additional response properties beyond the scope of this component.
DataPacketOut Event (PTechGiftCard Component)
Fired when sending a data packet to the transaction server.
Syntax
public event OnDataPacketOutHandler OnDataPacketOut; public delegate void OnDataPacketOutHandler(object sender, PtechgiftcardDataPacketOutEventArgs e); public class PtechgiftcardDataPacketOutEventArgs : EventArgs { public string DataPacket { get; }
public byte[] DataPacketB { get; } }
Public Event OnDataPacketOut As OnDataPacketOutHandler Public Delegate Sub OnDataPacketOutHandler(sender As Object, e As PtechgiftcardDataPacketOutEventArgs) Public Class PtechgiftcardDataPacketOutEventArgs Inherits EventArgs Public ReadOnly Property DataPacket As String
Public ReadOnly Property DataPacketB As Byte() End Class
Remarks
This event fires right before each data packet is sent. The entire data packet (including all framing and error detection characters) is contained in the parameter "DataPacket". This parameter may be inspected for advanced troubleshooting.
Error Event (PTechGiftCard Component)
Information about errors during data delivery.
Syntax
public event OnErrorHandler OnError; public delegate void OnErrorHandler(object sender, PtechgiftcardErrorEventArgs e); public class PtechgiftcardErrorEventArgs : EventArgs { public int ErrorCode { get; } public string Description { get; } }
Public Event OnError As OnErrorHandler Public Delegate Sub OnErrorHandler(sender As Object, e As PtechgiftcardErrorEventArgs) Public Class PtechgiftcardErrorEventArgs Inherits EventArgs Public ReadOnly Property ErrorCode As Integer Public ReadOnly Property Description As String End Class
Remarks
The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing.
ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.
SSLServerAuthentication Event (PTechGiftCard Component)
Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.
Syntax
public event OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler OnSSLServerAuthentication; public delegate void OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler(object sender, PtechgiftcardSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs e); public class PtechgiftcardSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs : EventArgs { public string CertEncoded { get; }
public byte[] CertEncodedB { get; } public string CertSubject { get; } public string CertIssuer { get; } public string Status { get; } public bool Accept { get; set; } }
Public Event OnSSLServerAuthentication As OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler Public Delegate Sub OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler(sender As Object, e As PtechgiftcardSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs) Public Class PtechgiftcardSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs Inherits EventArgs Public ReadOnly Property CertEncoded As String
Public ReadOnly Property CertEncodedB As Byte() Public ReadOnly Property CertSubject As String Public ReadOnly Property CertIssuer As String Public ReadOnly Property Status As String Public Property Accept As Boolean End Class
Remarks
During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.
When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.
SSLStatus Event (PTechGiftCard Component)
Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.
Syntax
public event OnSSLStatusHandler OnSSLStatus; public delegate void OnSSLStatusHandler(object sender, PtechgiftcardSSLStatusEventArgs e); public class PtechgiftcardSSLStatusEventArgs : EventArgs { public string Message { get; } }
Public Event OnSSLStatus As OnSSLStatusHandler Public Delegate Sub OnSSLStatusHandler(sender As Object, e As PtechgiftcardSSLStatusEventArgs) Public Class PtechgiftcardSSLStatusEventArgs Inherits EventArgs Public ReadOnly Property Message As String End Class
Remarks
The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.
CCCard Type
Contains the customer's credit card information.
Remarks
This type contains the customer's credit card information. If you are processing transactions where the customer and his credit card are physically present, set the MagneticStripe field with the data read from the card reader. You may set either Track1 or Track2 data (but not both). You must also set the EntryDataSource to indicate which track is stored in the MagneticStripe field.
Example: Setting the Fields
CCCard card = new CCCard();
card.MagneticStripe = "B4012000033330026^FDMS TEST CARD /VISA^090410054321000000000000000 150 A";
card.EntryDataSource = edsTrack1;
Example: Using a Constructor
CCCard card = new CCCard("B4012000033330026^FDMS TEST CARD /VISA^090410054321000000000000000 150 A", edsTrack1);
If you are processing a transaction where the credit card is not physically present (eCommerce, mail/order, etc) or if the magstripe on the back of the card cannot be read by the card reader, you must set the Number, ExpMonth, and ExpYear fields, and EntryDataSource must be set to one of the manually entered enumerations.
Example: Setting the Fields
CCCard card = new CCCard();
card.Number = "4788250000028291";
card.ExpMonth = 12;
card.ExpYear = 2010;
card.EntryDataSource = edsManualEntryNoCardReader;
Example: Using a Constructor
CCCard card = new CCCard("4012000033330026", 04, 2009);
Note that the constructor in the previous example automatically sets the EntryDataSource to edsManualEntryNoCardReader. If you wish to set any
other value for the EntryDataSource, you must set it yourself before authorizing the transaction.
When authorizing a transaction, the fields used by the component are solely dependant on the value of EntryDataSource. If you set the Number, ExpMonth, and ExpYear fields, but EntryDataSource is set to edsTrack2, the component will look for MagneticStripe data when authorizing the transaction, and will throws an exception because none is present.
Fields
CardType
TCardTypes
Default Value: 0
Type of credit card being used in this transaction. This field contains the customer's credit card type. This is automatically computed after the Number is set, but it can also be changed manually. A list of valid card types is included below.
ctUnknown (0) | Invalid or unknown prefix, card type not known. |
ctVisa (1) | Visa or Delta Card. |

This alphanumeric field contains the three digit Visa "Card Verification Value" (CVV), MasterCard "Card Verification Code" (CVC), or four-digit American Express "Card Identification Number" (CID). This value appears as additional characters embossed on the card signature line following the credit card account number on the back of the credit card. This is an optional field which can be used to determine if the customer is actually in possession of the credit card.
Even if the CVVData is incorrect, the transaction may still be authorized. It is up to the merchant to examine the ResponseCVVResult field and decide whether to honor the transaction or not.
Note: When set to a non-empty value, CVVPresence will be automatically set to cvpProvided. If set to empty string (""), CVVPresence will be automatically set to cvpNotProvided.
CVVPresence
CCCVVPresences
Default Value: 0
Indicates the presence of the card verification value.
This field is used to indicate the presence of CVVData.

ExpMonth
int
Default Value: 1
Expiration month of the credit card specified in Number.
This field contains the expiration date of the customer's credit card, and must be in the range 1 - 12.
ExpYear
int
Default Value: 2000
Expiration year of the credit card specified in Number.
This field contains the expiration date of the customer's credit card. This field must be in the range 0 - 99, or 2000 - 2099. Any date before the year 2000 or after 2099 cannot be specified.
IsEncrypted
bool
Default Value: False
Determines whether data set to the Number or MagneticStripe fields is validated.
By default, when the Number or MagneticStripe fields are set, the value will be validated and normalized. For instance, "4444-33332222 1111" will be normalized as "4444333322221111" and MagneticStripe data will be parsed for the track specified by EntryDataSource. However, any other non-numerical data entered will cause an exception to be thrown. It may be useful in some gateways to send other data in the Number or MagneticStripe fields, and this can be accomplished by setting IsEncrypted to true. However, please note that in doing so automatic calculation of the CardType may be affected, and the card number will not be verified.
MagneticStripe
string
Default Value: ""
Track data read off of the card's magnetic stripe.
If EntryDataSource is not one of the manually entered enumerations, then this field must be set with the track1 or track2 data from the magnetic stripe on the back of the customer's credit card. This includes everything after but not including the start sentinel (% or ;) and up to but not including the end sentinel (?) and LRC check character. You may only set this field with track 1 or track 2 data, and may not pass both. Use the EntryDataSource field to indicate which track you are sending.
The following example shows how to set the MagneticStripe and EntryDataSource fields if the data read off the card is "%B4788250000028291^TSYS^05121015432112345678?;4788250000028291=05121015432112345678?"
component.Card = new CCCard("B4788250000028291^TSYS^05121015432112345678", dsTrack1)
or
component.Card = new CCCard("4788250000028291=05121015432112345678", dsTrack2)
or
CCCardType Card = new CCCard()
Card.MagneticStripe = "B4788250000028291^TSYS^05121015432112345678"
Card.EntryDataSource = dsTrack1
Industry regulations do not allow merchants or processors to store track data in any form of persistent storage. Failure to abide by this regulation can result in significant fines and other penalties.
Number
string
Default Value: ""
Customer's credit card number for the transaction.
If you're sending the transaction with MagneticStripe data, this field should be left empty.
Constructors
public CCCard(string magneticStripe, EntryDataSources entryDataSource);

The field contains the text description of the certificate's signature algorithm. The property contains either the name of the algorithm (e.g., "RSA" or "RSA_MD5RSA") or an object identifier (OID) string representing the algorithm.
Store
string
Default Value: "MY"
This is the name of the certificate store for the client certificate.
The StoreType field denotes the type of the certificate store specified by Store. If the store is password protected, specify the password in StorePassword.
Store is used in conjunction with the Subject field to specify client certificates. If Store has a value, and Subject or Encoded is set, a search for a certificate is initiated. Please see the Subject field for details.
Designations of certificate stores are platform dependent.
The following designations are the most common User and Machine certificate stores in Windows:
MY | A certificate store holding personal certificates with their associated private keys. |
CA | Certifying authority certificates. |
ROOT | Root certificates. |
When the certificate store type is PFXFile, this property must be set to the name of the file. When the type is PFXBlob, the property must be set to the binary contents of a PFX file (i.e., PKCS#12 certificate store).

Proxy Type
The proxy the component will connect to.
Remarks
When connecting through a proxy, this type is used to specify different properties of the proxy, such as the Server and the AuthScheme.
Fields
AuthScheme
ProxyAuthSchemes
Default Value: 0
This field is used to tell the component which type of authorization to perform when connecting to the proxy. This is used only when the User and Password fields are set.
AuthScheme should be set to authNone (3) when no authentication is expected.
By default, AuthScheme is authBasic (0), and if the User and Password fields are set, the component will attempt basic authentication.
If AuthScheme is set to authDigest (1), digest authentication will be attempted instead.
If AuthScheme is set to authProprietary (2), then the authorization token will not be generated by the component. Look at the configuration file for the component being used to find more information about manually setting this token.
If AuthScheme is set to authNtlm (4), NTLM authentication will be used.
For security reasons, setting this field will clear the values of User and Password.
AutoDetect
bool
Default Value: False
This field tells the component whether or not to automatically detect and use proxy system settings, if available. The default value is false.
Password
string
Default Value: ""
This field contains a password if authentication is to be used for the proxy.
If AuthScheme is set to Basic Authentication, the User and Password are Base64 encoded and the proxy authentication token will be generated in the form Basic [encoded-user-password].
If AuthScheme is set to Digest Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to respond to the Digest Authentication challenge from the server.
If AuthScheme is set to NTLM Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to authenticate through NTLM negotiation.
Port
int
Default Value: 80
This field contains the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port for the proxy Server (default 80). See the description of the Server field for details.
Server
string
Default Value: ""
If a proxy Server is given, then the HTTP request is sent to the proxy instead of the server otherwise specified.
If the Server field is set to a domain name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the Server field is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.
SSL
ProxySSLTypes
Default Value: 0
This field determines when to use a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for the connection to the proxy. The applicable values are as follows:
psAutomatic (0) | Default setting. If the URL is an https URL, the component will use the psTunnel option. If the URL is an http URL, the component will use the psNever option. |
psAlways (1) | The connection is always SSL enabled. |
psNever (2) | The connection is not SSL enabled. |
psTunnel (3) | The connection is made through a tunneling (HTTP) proxy. |
User
string
Default Value: ""
This field contains a username if authentication is to be used for the proxy.
If AuthScheme is set to Basic Authentication, the User and Password fields are Base64 encoded and the proxy authentication token will be generated in the form Basic [encoded-user-password].
If AuthScheme is set to Digest Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to respond to the Digest Authentication challenge from the server.
If AuthScheme is set to NTLM Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to authenticate through NTLM negotiation.
Constructors
PTechGiftCardResponse Type
Contains the response to the authorization.
Remarks
This type contains the results of a transaction made with the PTechGiftCard component. The fields contained by this type are listed below.
Fields
ApprovalCode
string (read-only)
Default Value: ""
Contains an authorization code when a transaction has been approved, or an error code. This six character field contains an authorization code when a transaction has been approved. If the Code returned indicates that the transaction has not been approved, then this field will contain an error code, and the Text field will contain the description. Note that the host does not send back an actual authorization code for Credit Returns. Instead, the host sends back six blank spaces in the authorization code field. Credit VOIDS return the original authorization number.
See the list of errors for this component for more information.
AuthorizedAmount
string (read-only)
Default Value: ""
Used for partial authorizations. Indicates the actual amount authorized from the stored value card. If the customer does not have enough on his stored value card to cover the complete cost of the purchase, the merchant may request that the host perform a partial redemption. The full stored value card will be used to fund as much of the transaction as possible, and the remainder may be funded by some other form of payment. When PartialRedemption is set to True, the host will supply the actual amount authorized from the stored value card in the AuthorizedAmount field.
Note that the AuthorizedAmount will only contain a value if the PartialRedemption property in the authorizing component was set to True. It will remain blank otherwise.
Balance
string (read-only)
Default Value: ""
Balance after this transaction was completed. This field contains the available balance remaining on the card. It is required that this value be printed on the customer's receipt.
BatchNumber
string (read-only)
Default Value: ""
Current open batch number This field is returned after sending a BatchInquiry or BatchRelease transaction with the PTechHostSettle component, or after a SendSettlement sent using the PTechManualSettle component.
CashOut
string (read-only)
Default Value: ""
The sum of the TransactionAmount plus the remainder of any value left on the card. When the CashOutIndicator field is set to True, the stored value card will be "cashed out". This means that all funds stored on the card is cleared, and the merchant is to return those funds to the customer as cash. When CashOutIndicator is True, the CashOut field will contain the amount of money the merchant is to return to the customer in cash. AuthorizedAmount will contain the total amount removed from the gift card (The sum of the TransactionAmount plus the CashOut amount).
Code
string (read-only)
Default Value: ""
Indicates the status of the authorization request. This is the field used to determine whether a transaction has been approved or not. Valid values for this field are:
A | Transaction is Approved. |
E | Error condition or card declined (see the Error section of the help file for more information). |
See the list of errors for this component for more information.
CVVResult
string (read-only)
Default Value: ""
Contains the returned CVV result code if it was requested. If a CVV value was present in the CVVData field before authorizing the transaction, this one character field will contain the host returned Card Verification Value result code. Please note that a CVV Result code is never returned for an American Express transaction, even if the Card.CVVData; field is filled. Instead, an AMEX transaction will be declined if the CVV value does not match, with an Text indicating such. The following is a list of current result codes:
M | CVV2 match. |
N | CVV2 no match. |
P | Not processed. |
S | Merchant has indicated that CVV2 is not present on card. |
U | Issuer not certified and/or has not provided Visa encryption keys. |
PreviousBalance
string (read-only)
Default Value: ""
Balance before this transaction started. This field contains the available balance on the card BEFORE this transaction took place. For instance, if a Stored Value card contains funds in the amount of $50.00, and the TransactionAmount for this authorization was "20.00", the Balance will contain "30.00" and the PreviousBalance, if returned, will contain "50.00". This field may or may not be returned by the processor, and is not required to be printed on the customer's receipt.
RetrievalNumber
string (read-only)
Default Value: ""
Reference number returned from the Paymentech host. This is the reference number of the transaction as assigned by the Paymentech host. This number must remain with the transaction for the duration of the transaction's life cycle. This information is sent as a parameter in the VoidTransaction method.
If the SettlementMode is set to manual this field will contain the POSRetrievalNumber submitted in the authorization. If no POSRetrievalNumber was sent, this field will contain all zeros, and you will not have a reference number for the transaction.
If the SettlementMode is set to host settle, this field will always contain the Paymentech-generated retrieval number returned by the transaction server, regardless of the value contained in the POSRetrievalNumber property.
In all cases, the RetrievalNumber will contain the number used to reference the transaction when issuing voids or reversals.
SequenceNumber
string (read-only)
Default Value: ""
SequenceNumber echoed from the authorization. After any transaction this field will contain the same value sent in the SequenceNumber property.
Text
string (read-only)
Default Value: ""
Approval/Decline/Error text message information This field contains a response or display text message, and is used by the terminal to display the authorization result. This field will contain human-readable text indicating whether the transaction was approved or declined, or will contain a description of the error. The actual error code will be returned in the ApprovalCode field. The Text field is for informational use only, and should not be used in determining whether a transaction has been approved or not. Instead, use the Code field to determine this.
See the list of errors for this component for more information.
Trace
string (read-only)
Default Value: ""
Trace number returned for Stored Value transactions. This field is returned in the response to a Stored Value card transaction. The returned value is used for transaction tracking purposes, and must be printed on the customer's receipt.

Public PTechGiftCardResponse()
Config Settings (PTechGiftCard Component)
The component accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.PTechGiftCard Config Settings
Valid values:
Description | Value |
TAS Only Credit | 128 (Hex 0x80) |
TAS/TCS Credit | 64 (Hex 0x40) |
TCS Only Credit | 32 (Hex 0x20) |
HCS Auth Only Credit | 16 (Hex 0x10) |
HCS Auth/Settle Credit | 8 (Hex 0x8) |
Host Extended Product Support (Debit, SV, EBT) | 4 (Hex 0x4) |
0 | Host Capture (default) |
1 | Terminal Capture |
Note that for PTechReversal, 1 (Terminal Capture) will be the default value. If Host Capture is being used, a value of 0 will need to be set.
Host-Capture means that you authorize your transactions using the AuthOnly or Sale methods, and you process refunds and capture outstanding authorizations with the Credit and Capture methods. Paymentech handles all batch management. All you need to do is use the PTechHostSettle component to release the batch for settlement (you may even set your account up for Host Auto-Close, which will automatically release the batch for settlement at the end of the business day).
Terminal-Capture means that you handle all of the batch management yourself. This is necessary for the Hotel/Lodging and Restaurant IndustryTypes, because the final settlement amount may be more than (or less than) the amount that was originally authorized. For instance, a restaurant authorization may have a GratuityAmount added to the original charge before the transaction is settled. Likewise, a customer may stay longer or shorter than originally planned, or incur additional charges (mini bar, telephone call, room service, etc), and the settlement amount must be adjusted accordingly.
All industry types supported by PTechCharge may be processed in smTerminalCapture mode. However, Restaurant and Hotel transactions MUST be authorized and settled in smTerminalCapture mode. Attempting to authorize a Restaurant or Hotel/Lodging transaction with the SettlementMode; set to 0 (Host Capture) will cause the component throws an exception.
When processing transactions in smTerminalCapture mode, credits and captures are processed off-line using the PTechDetailRecord and PTechManualSettle components. Attempting to call the VoidTransaction or Capture methods the component throws an exception.
Default value is "010C".
The component will construct the System Information data based on the following specifications:
- Application Name - 7 characters
- Release Date - 6 characters (MMDDYY)
- EPROM / Version Number - 10 characters
Default value is "0076".
Please note that Forced transactions cannot be voided with VoidTransaction. This is because the balance of the Gift Card is adjusted at the time of the Voice Authorization. Although this Force transaction does not have an effect on a card's balance, it is necessary in order to keep the Point Of Sale and the Host in balance with one another.
HTTP Config Settings
When True, the component adds an Accept-Encoding header to the outgoing request. The value for this header can be controlled by the AcceptEncoding configuration setting. The default value for this header is "gzip, deflate".
The default value is True.
If set to True (default), the component will automatically use HTTP/1.1 if the server does not support HTTP/2. If set to False, the component throws an exception if the server does not support HTTP/2.
The default value is True.
This property is provided so that the HTTP component can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the component.
The AuthScheme property defines the authentication scheme used. In the case of HTTP Basic Authentication (default), every time User and Password are set, they are Base64 encoded, and the result is put in the Authorization property in the form "Basic [encoded-user-password]".
The default value is False.
If this property is set to 2 (Same Scheme), the new URL is retrieved automatically only if the URL Scheme is the same; otherwise, the component throws an exception.
Note: Following the HTTP specification, unless this option is set to 1 (Always), automatic redirects will be performed only for GET or HEAD requests. Other methods potentially could change the conditions of the initial request and create security vulnerabilities.
Furthermore, if either the new URL server or port are different from the existing one, User and Password are also reset to empty, unless this property is set to 1 (Always), in which case the same credentials are used to connect to the new server.
A Redirect event is fired for every URL the product is redirected to. In the case of automatic redirections, the Redirect event is a good place to set properties related to the new connection (e.g., new authentication parameters).
The default value is 0 (Never). In this case, redirects are never followed, and the component throws an exception instead.
Following are the valid options:
- 0 - Never
- 1 - Always
- 2 - Same Scheme
- "1.0"
- "1.1" (default)
- "2.0"
- "3.0"
When using HTTP/2 ("2.0"), additional restrictions apply. Please see the following notes for details.
HTTP/2 Notes
When using HTTP/2, a secure Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (TLS/SSL) connection is required. Attempting to use a plaintext URL with HTTP/2 will result in an error.
If the server does not support HTTP/2, the component will automatically use HTTP/1.1 instead. This is done to provide compatibility without the need for any additional settings. To see which version was used, check NegotiatedHTTPVersion after calling a method. The AllowHTTPFallback setting controls whether this behavior is allowed (default) or disallowed.
HTTP/2 is supported on all versions of Windows. If the Windows version is an earlier version than Windows 8.1/Windows Server 2012 R2, the internal security implementation will be used. If the Windows version is Window 8.1/Windows Server 2012 R2 or later, the system security libraries will be used by default.
HTTP/3 Notes
HTTP/3 is supported only in .NET and Java.
When using HTTP/3, a secure (TLS/SSL) connection is required. Attempting to use a plaintext URL with HTTP/3 will result in an error.
The format of the date value for IfModifiedSince is detailed in the HTTP specs. For example:
Sat, 29 Oct 2017 19:43:31 GMT.
The default value for KeepAlive is false.
0 (None) | No events are logged. |
1 (Info - default) | Informational events are logged. |
2 (Verbose) | Detailed data are logged. |
3 (Debug) | Debug data are logged. |
The value 1 (Info) logs basic information, including the URL, HTTP version, and status details.
The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.
The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).
To save all items to the collection, set this configuration setting to -1. If no items are wanted, set this to 0, which will not save any items to the collection. The default for this configuration setting is -1, so all items will be included in the collection.
To save all items to the collection, set this configuration setting to -1. If no items are wanted, set this to 0, which will not save any items to the collection. The default for this configuration setting is -1, so all items will be included in the collection.
The headers must follow the format "header: value" as described in the HTTP specifications. Header lines should be separated by CRLF ("\r\n") .
Use this configuration setting with caution. If this configuration setting contains invalid headers, HTTP requests may fail.
This configuration setting is useful for extending the functionality of the component beyond what is provided.
.NET
Http http = new Http();
http.Config("TransferredRequest=on");
http.PostData = "body";
http.Post("http://someserver.com");
Console.WriteLine(http.Config("TransferredRequest"));
C++
HTTP http;
http.Config("TransferredRequest=on");
http.SetPostData("body", 5);
http.Post("http://someserver.com");
printf("%s\r\n", http.Config("TransferredRequest"));
Note: Some servers (such as the ASP.NET Development Server) may not support chunked encoding.
The default value is False and the hostname will always be used exactly as specified.
When True (default), the component will check for the existence of a Proxy auto-config URL, and if found, will determine the appropriate proxy to use.
Override the default with the name and version of your software.
TCPClient Config Settings
If the FirewallHost setting is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the FirewallHost setting is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.
Note: This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
If this entry is set, the component acts as a server. RemoteHost and RemotePort are used to tell the SOCKS firewall in which address and port to listen to. The firewall rules may ignore RemoteHost, and it is recommended that RemoteHost be set to empty string in this case.
RemotePort is the port in which the firewall will listen to. If set to 0, the firewall will select a random port. The binding (address and port) is provided through the ConnectionStatus event.
The connection to the firewall is made by calling the Connect method.
Note: This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This configuration setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
0 | No firewall (default setting). |
1 | Connect through a tunneling proxy. FirewallPort is set to 80. |
2 | Connect through a SOCKS4 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080. |
3 | Connect through a SOCKS5 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080. |
10 | Connect through a SOCKS4A Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080. |
Note: This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This setting is provided for use by components that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
Note: This value is not applicable in macOS.
In the case that Linger is True (default), two scenarios determine how long the connection will linger. In the first, if LingerTime is 0 (default), the system will attempt to send pending data for a connection until the default IP timeout expires.
In the second scenario, if LingerTime is a positive value, the system will attempt to send pending data until the specified LingerTime is reached. If this attempt fails, then the system will reset the connection.
The default behavior (which is also the default mode for stream sockets) might result in a long delay in closing the connection. Although the component returns control immediately, the system could hold system resources until all pending data are sent (even after your application closes).
Setting this property to False forces an immediate disconnection. If you know that the other side has received all the data you sent (e.g., by a client acknowledgment), setting this property to False might be the appropriate course of action.
In multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the component initiate connections (or accept in the case of server components) only through that interface.
If the component is connected, the LocalHost setting shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).
Setting this to 0 (default) enables the system to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by LocalPort after the connection is established.
LocalPort cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this when a connection is active will generate an error.
This; setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port in the client side. An example is the remote shell (rsh) service in UNIX systems.
If an EOL string is found in the input stream before MaxLineLength bytes are received, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to True, and the buffer is reset.
If no EOL is found, and MaxLineLength bytes are accumulated in the buffer, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to False, and the buffer is reset.
The minimum value for MaxLineLength is 256 bytes. The default value is 2048 bytes.

SSL Config Settings
The value is formatted as a list of paths separated by semicolons. The component will check for the existence of each file in the order specified. When a file is found the CA certificates within the file will be loaded and used to determine the validity of server or client certificates.
The default value is:
/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem;/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt;/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt;/etc/pki/tls/cacert.pem
When enabled, SSL packet logs are output using the SSLStatus event, which will fire each time an SSL packet is sent or received.
Enabling this setting has no effect if SSLProvider is set to Platform.
If set to true, the component will reuse the context if and only if the following criteria are met:
- The target host name is the same.
- The system cache entry has not expired (default timeout is 10 hours).
- The application process that calls the function is the same.
- The logon session is the same.
- The instance of the component is the same.

When set to 0 (default) the CRL check will not be performed by the component. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the CRL check, but will continue without an error if the server's certificate does not support CRL. When set to 2, it will perform the CRL check and will throw an error if CRL is not supported.
This configuration setting is only supported in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is only supported on Windows operating systems.
When set to 0 (default) the component will not perform an OCSP check. When set to 1, it will attempt to perform the OCSP check, but will continue without an error if the server's certificate does not support OCSP. When set to 2, it will perform the OCSP check and will throw an error if OCSP is not supported.
This configuration setting is only supported in the Java, C#, and C++ editions. In the C++ edition, it is only supported on Windows operating systems.
Please note that this setting contains the minimum cipher strength requested from the security library. The actual cipher strength used for the connection is shown by the SSLStatus event.
Use this setting with caution. Requesting a lower cipher strength than necessary could potentially cause serious security vulnerabilities in your application.
When the provider is OpenSSL, SSLCipherStrength is currently not supported. This functionality is instead made available through the OpenSSLCipherList config setting.
By default, the enabled cipher suites will include all available ciphers ("*").
The special value "*" means that the component will pick all of the supported cipher suites. If SSLEnabledCipherSuites is set to any other value, only the specified cipher suites will be considered.
Multiple cipher suites are separated by semicolons.
Example values when SSLProvider is set to Platform:
obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=*");

When TLS 1.3 is negotiated (see SSLEnabledProtocols) only the following cipher suites are supported:
- TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
- TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
- TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
SSLEnabledCipherSuites is used together with SSLCipherStrength.
Not all supported protocols are enabled by default (the value of this setting is 4032). If you want more granular control over the enabled protocols, you can set this property to the binary 'OR' of one or more of the following values:
TLS1.3 | 12288 (Hex 3000) |
TLS1.2 | 3072 (Hex C00) (Default) |
TLS1.1 | 768 (Hex 300) (Default) |
TLS1 | 192 (Hex C0) (Default) |
SSL3 | 48 (Hex 30) [Platform Only] |
SSL2 | 12 (Hex 0C) [Platform Only] |
SSLEnabledProtocols - TLS 1.3 Notes
By default when TLS 1.3 is enabled the component will use the internal TLS implementation when the SSLProvider is set to Automatic for all editions.
In editions which are designed to run on Windows SSLProvider can be set to Platform to use the platform implementation instead of the internal implementation. When configured in this manner, please note that the platform provider is only supported on Windows 11 / Windows Server 2022 and up. The default internal provider is available on all platforms and is not restricted to any specific OS version.
If set to 1 (Platform provider) please be aware of the following notes:
- The platform provider is only available on Windows 11 / Windows Server 2022 and up.
- SSLEnabledCipherSuites and other similar SSL configuration settings are not supported.
- If SSLEnabledProtocols includes both TLS 1.3 and TLS 1.2 the above restrictions are still applicable even if TLS 1.2 is negotiated. Enabling TLS 1.3 with the platform provider changes the implementation used for all TLS versions.
SSLEnabledProtocols: SSL2 and SSL3 Notes:
SSL 2.0 and 3.0 are not supported by the component when the SSLProvider is set to internal. To use SSL 2.0 or SSL 3.0, the platform security API must have the protocols enabled and SSLProvider needs to be set to platform.
This setting is only applicable when SSLProvider is set to Internal.
If set to True all certificates returned by the server will be present in the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event. This includes the leaf certificate, any intermediate certificate, and the root certificate.
Note: When SSLProvider is set to Internal this value is automatically set to true. This is needed for proper validation when using the internal provider.
When set, the component will save the session secrets in the same format as the SSLKEYLOGFILE environment variable functionality used by most major browsers and tools such as Chrome, Firefox, and cURL. This file can then be used in tools such as Wireshark to decrypt TLS traffice for debugging purposes. When writing to this file the component will only append, it will not overwrite previous values.
Note: This setting is only applicable when SSLProvider is set to Internal.
Note: For server components (e.g. TCPServer) this is a per-connection setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:
server.Config("SSLNegotiatedCipher[connId]");
Note: For server components (e.g.TCPServer) this is a per-connection setting accessed by passing the ConnectionId. For example:

This functionality is currently not available in Java or when the provider is OpenSSL.
The value of this setting is a newline (CrLf) separated list of certificates. For instance:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ... eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj -----END CERTIFICATE----- \r \n -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEFjCCAv6gAwIBAgIQetu1SMxpnENAnnOz1P+PtTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBp .. d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA -----END CERTIFICATE-----
When specified the component will verify that the server certificate signature algorithm is among the values specified in this setting. If the server certificate signature algorithm is unsupported the component throws an exception.
The format of this value is a comma separated list of hash-signature combinations. For instance:
component.SSLProvider = TCPClientSSLProviders.sslpInternal;
component.Config("SSLEnabledProtocols=3072"); //TLS 1.2
component.Config("TLS12SignatureAlgorithms=sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa");
The default value for this setting is sha512-ecdsa,sha512-rsa,sha512-dsa,sha384-ecdsa,sha384-rsa,sha384-dsa,sha256-ecdsa,sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha224-ecdsa,sha224-rsa,sha224-dsa,sha1-ecdsa,sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa.
In order to not restrict the server's certificate signature algorithm, specify an empty string as the value for this setting, which will cause the signature_algorithms TLS 1.2 extension to not be sent.
The default value is ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1.
When using TLS 1.2 and SSLProvider is set to Internal, the values refer to the supported groups for ECC. The following values are supported:
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp521r1" (default)
The default value is set to balance common supported groups and the computational resources required to generate key shares. As a result only some groups are included by default in this setting.
Note: All supported groups can always be used during the handshake even if not listed here, but if a group is used which is not present in this list it will incur an additional round trip and time to generate the key share for that group.
In most cases this setting does not need to be modified. This should only be modified if there is a specific reason to do so.
The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072
The values are ordered from most preferred to least preferred. The following values are supported:
- "ecdhe_x25519" (default)
- "ecdhe_x448"
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)

- "rsa_pss_sha256" (default)
- "rsa_pss_sha384" (default)
- "rsa_pss_sha512" (default)
The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_x448,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072,ffdhe_4096,ffdhe_6144,ffdhe_8192
The values are ordered from most preferred to least preferred. The following values are supported:

Socket Config Settings
Note: This option is not valid for UDP ports.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the component is activated the InBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the component is activated the OutBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.
Base Config Settings
In some non-GUI applications, an invalid message loop may be discovered that will result in errant behavior. In these cases, setting GUIAvailable to false will ensure that the component does not attempt to process external events.
- Product: The product the license is for.
- Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
- License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
- License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
- Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.
This setting only works on these components: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.
Setting this configuration setting to true tells the component to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.
On Windows, this setting is set to false by default. On Linux/macOS, this setting is set to true by default.
If using the .NET Standard Library, this setting will be true on all platforms. The .NET Standard library does not support using the system security libraries.
Note: This setting is static. The value set is applicable to all components used in the application.
When this value is set, the product's system dynamic link library (DLL) is no longer required as a reference, as all unmanaged code is stored in that file.
