Overview

Refer to Working with DICOM Network Connections

Remarks

(Medical Imaging Suite only) Used to set the SSL method type used for security verification. The default value is DICOM_TYPE_TLSV1_METHOD. Possible values are:

Value

Meaning

DICOM_TYPE_SSLV2_METHOD

(0x01) Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Version 2. Avoid using SSL Version 2 because this version is known to have security flaws.

DICOM_TYPE_SSLV3_METHOD

(0x02) Use SSL Version 3.

DICOM_TYPE_TLSV1_METHOD

(0x02) Use Transport Layer Security (TLS) Version 1.

DICOM_TYPE_SSLV23_METHOD

(0x04) Use a compatible security verification mode. This mode can handle any of the three modes (DICOM_TYPE_SSLV2_METHOD, DICOM_TYPE_SSLV3_METHOD, DICOM_TYPE_TLSV1_METHOD)

Use the following procedure to change the default security options:

1.

Set the UseSSLOptions property to VARIANT_TRUE.

2.

Set the NetworkSecurityMode property to DICOM_SECURE_TLS.

3.

Set any or all of the following properties.

SSLMethodType property

SSLVerifyMode property

SSLOptions property

SSLCAFile property

SSLVerifyDepth property

4.

Set the SSLCreateFlags property to have the flags that correspond to the properties that were set in step 3.

5.

Call the StartUp method.

Note that the properties in steps 1, 2, 3, and 4 must be set before calling the StartUp method, and that the NetworkSecurityMode property must be set to DICOM_SECURE_TLS. If the NetworkSecurityMode property is not DICOM_SECURE_TLS, then the SSL properties are ignored.
