Subject: Unable to connect to CISCO Finesse secure port 5223
We are trying to connect to CISCO finesse secure port 5223 using Matrix Library for Notifications. Using Pidgin it is working prfectly but from our application its not.

When we comare wireshark logs for both then we can see that Pidgin request using TLS1.2 where as Matrix request using TLSv1.
So as per the post in this forum we are setting the TLS12 explicitely but its still not working.

Here is the code:

  1. this.xmppClient.SetUsername(username);
  2. this.xmppClient.Password = password.ToUnsecureString();
  3. this.xmppClient.SetXmppDomain(domain);
  4. this.xmppClient.Port = 5223;
  5. this.xmppClient.OldStyleSsl = true;
  6. this.xmppClient.TlsProtocols = SslProtocols.Tls12;


Can you help us what we are missing here so that matrix will use the TLS 1.2

This is not the latest. Please update and try again.
There was work done for direct TLS in the recent releases.

There is no specific document for this.
The code you posted above is correct.

In previous days it was called old style TLS/SSL when StartTLS was preferred. It became popular again now because compared to StartTLS it saves roundtrips and therefore setting up the stream is faster. And these days its called direct TLS. But its exactly the same.
We have not renamed the property in legacy Matrix.

Hi Alex,

We upgraded nuget to the latest 2.1.0.8.

After upgrading we are getting following error on XmppClient.Open()

System.InvalidOperationException: Showing a modal dialog box or form when the application is not running in UserInteractive mode is not a valid operation. Specify the ServiceNotification or DefaultDesktopOnly style to display a notification from a service application.
   at System.Windows.Forms.Form.ShowDialog(IWin32Window owner)
   at System.Windows.Forms.Form.ShowDialog()
   at Matrix.License.LicenseManager.CheckLicense()
   at Matrix.XmppStream.Open()
   at Matrix.Xmpp.Client.XmppClient.Open()

Do we need to update the License as well when we upgrade to latest MatriX nuget ?
If so can you please help.

I assume your license is not valid for the latest builds. Please get a demo license from here for your tests:

Hi Alex,
Thank you for reply.

Can we use this license on our production environment?

demo licenses are valid for 30 days. You can use it to verify if it solves your problem. When you move that code to production then you must use a valid license, otherwise your production code will stop working after some days.
