wodSSHServer ActiveX Control - PortBindRequest Event
    
 

Description

Fires when user wants to bind specific port on the server.


Syntax

Private Sub object_PortBindRequest(User, BindIP, BindPort, Action)



The PortBindRequest Event syntax has these parts:

Part Description
object A wodSSHD object.
User A SSHUser object. Reference to user who wants to open port forwarding.
BindIP A String value. Holds interface address that will be used for listening.
BindPort A Long value. Specifies port number that will be used for listening.
Action A SSHActions enumeration, as described in settings. Action to perform for the user - Allow means that he can open port forwarding, Deny means he is not allowed.

Settings

The settings for Action are:

Constant Value Description
 Deny 0 Deny execution of the action.
 Allow 1 Allow to execute action.

Remarks

This event is fired when connected user requests service from wodSSHD to open specified port (BindPort value) for listening. If you set Action to Allow, wodSSHD will open this port and listen for incoming connections, if possible. When connection arrives, event PortForwardConnect will be fired where you can see Hostname of user who's trying to use this opened port. If all is Allowed, remote client will receive message about this connection, and it will be able to receive forwarded data for this connection.

Bind requests are typically used to protect plain communication from 3rd party sniffing (eavesdropping). For example, instead of opening local port on his computer, client can request server to open port. Complete traffic between wodSSHD server and the client will be encrypted (it's traveling through already established SSH connection).

If wodSSHD should initiate outgoing connection, event PortForwardRequest will be fired.
