UserConnecting event
Fires when a user wants to connect to the listening channel.
Syntax
Private Sub object_UserConnecting(Chan, Hostname, Port, Allow)
The UserConnecting(object,Chan,Hostname,Port,Allow) syntax has these parts:
| object | A wodTunnel object. |
| Chan | A Channel object. Reference to the channel where the user connected. |
| Hostname | A String value. Hostname that the user is coming from. |
| Port | A Long value. Port that the user has connected from. |
| Allow | A Boolean value. When set to False, wodSSHTunnel aborts the connection for the user. |
Remarks
The UserConnecting event is fired when someone connects to wodSSHTunnel, but before they can actually transmit any data. At this point, you can decide whether you want to allow the user to use the channel or not.
Typically, based on a user's hostname and originating port, you can see if this is an expected connection or not. As there is no way to 'hide' listening sockets from disallowed users, they will still connect, but immediately disconnect if you deny them access.
By default, the Allow argument will be set to False, unless you set the channel listening on interface 127.0.0.1 - as there is no security breach that can happen on the localhost interface. As this behavior helps customers who cannot handle events, we had no reasons to reject their requests to set Allow = True in such cases.
