[V8i and CE MDL/CPP] MicroStation and TLS 1.2

Hi all

Is it possible to make MicroStation V8i and CE communicate with a web server that is running TLS 1.2 for it's security protocols ?

I've made it work in our .NET applications by adding this line of code in CE:

System.Net.ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;

and these lines of code in V8i:

public const SslProtocols _Tls12 = (SslProtocols)0x00000C00;
public const SecurityProtocolType Tls12 = (SecurityProtocolType)_Tls12;
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = Tls12;

My problem is that I can't figure out how to make it work using MDL/CPP - mdlXMLDom_create and mdlXMLDom_load

Thanks for any tips.

  • Hi Evan,

    I think the question is not about MicroStation, because not MicroStation itself, but your code is communication with (some) web server.

    Is it correct assumption?

    I've made it work in our .NET applications by adding this line of code in CE:

    You should provide more information about your communication and what do you want to achieve.

    Because ServicePoint class is used, so I assume you need to connect to web server using HTTP protocol?

    My problem is that I can't figure out how to make it work using MDL/CPP - mdlXMLDom_create and mdlXMLDom_load

    mdlXMLDom_ functions are not related to HTTP communication in any way. You have to connect to the web server, send a request and receive the answer. I know many clients save received data to file and load it as a standard file.

    I guess you should check Boost library, I assume http / ssl / tls communication is supported.

    With regards,
