Property

SSLSocket.ConnectionType

Warning

This item was deprecated in version 2019r2. Please use SSLSocket.SSLConnectionTypes as a replacement.

Description

Specifies the type of SSL connection.

Notes

Note

Use the SSLSocket constant names for ConnectionType, and not the integer values so that the IDE can warn you when constants are removed or deprecated.

ConnectionType can take the following SSLSocket class constants:

Class Constant	Value	Description
SSLv23	1	A TLS/SSL connection established with this constant may understand the SSLv3, TLSv1, TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 protocols. If extensions are required (for example server name) a client will send out TLSv1 client hello messages including extensions and will indicate that it also understands TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2 and permits a fallback to SSLv3. A server will support SSLv3, TLSv1, TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 protocols. This is the best choice when compatibility is a concern.
TLSv1	3	TLS (Transport Layer Security) version 1. (default)
TLSv11	4	TLS (Transport Layer Security) version 1.1
TLSv12	5	TLS (Transport Layer Security) version 1.2

The default is TLSv1. If you need to change the connection type, close the connection first.

Sample code

This example changes the connection type to TLSv1.

Socket1.ConnectionType = SSLSocket.TLSv1

Compatibility

All project types on all supported operating systems.
