## Properties

### `Optional` ALPNCallback

ALPNCallback?: ((arg) => undefined | string)

If set, this will be called when a client opens a connection using the ALPN extension. One argument will be passed to the callback: an object containing `servername` and `protocols` fields, respectively containing the server name from the SNI extension (if any) and an array of ALPN protocol name strings. The callback must return either one of the strings listed in `protocols`, which will be returned to the client as the selected ALPN protocol, or `undefined`, to reject the connection with a fatal alert. If a string is returned that does not match one of the client's ALPN protocols, an error will be thrown. This option cannot be used with the `ALPNProtocols` option, and setting both options will throw an error.

#### Type declaration

- - (arg): undefined | string

  - #### Parameters

    - arg: {
      protocols: string[];
      servername: string;
      }

      - ##### protocols: string[]

      - ##### servername: string

    #### Returns undefined | string

Inherited from SecureContextOptions.ALPNCallback

- Defined in node_modules/@types/node/tls.d.ts:811

### `Optional` ALPNProtocols

ALPNProtocols?: Uint8Array | string[] | Uint8Array[]

An array of strings or a Buffer naming possible ALPN protocols. (Protocols should be ordered by their priority.)

Inherited from CommonConnectionOptions.ALPNProtocols

- Defined in node_modules/@types/node/tls.d.ts:526

### `Optional` SNICallback

SNICallback?: ((servername, cb) => void)

SNICallback(servername, cb) A function that will be called if the client supports SNI TLS extension. Two arguments will be passed when called: servername and cb. SNICallback should invoke cb(null, ctx), where ctx is a SecureContext instance. (tls.createSecureContext(...) can be used to get a proper SecureContext.) If SNICallback wasn't provided the default callback with high-level API will be used (see below).

#### Type declaration

- - (servername, cb): void

  - #### Parameters

    - servername: string
    - cb: ((err, ctx?) => void)
      - - (err, ctx?): void

        - #### Parameters

          - err: null | Error
          - `Optional` ctx: SecureContext

          #### Returns void

Inherited from CommonConnectionOptions.SNICallback

- Defined in node_modules/@types/node/tls.d.ts:536

### `Optional` ca

ca?: string | Buffer | (string | Buffer)[]

Optionally override the trusted CA certificates. Default is to trust the well-known CAs curated by Mozilla. Mozilla's CAs are completely replaced when CAs are explicitly specified using this option.

Inherited from SecureContextOptions.ca

- Defined in node_modules/@types/node/tls.d.ts:817

### `Optional` cert

cert?: string | Buffer | (string | Buffer)[]

Cert chains in PEM format. One cert chain should be provided per private key. Each cert chain should consist of the PEM formatted certificate for a provided private key, followed by the PEM formatted intermediate certificates (if any), in order, and not including the root CA (the root CA must be pre-known to the peer, see ca). When providing multiple cert chains, they do not have to be in the same order as their private keys in key. If the intermediate certificates are not provided, the peer will not be able to validate the certificate, and the handshake will fail.

Inherited from SecureContextOptions.cert

- Defined in node_modules/@types/node/tls.d.ts:829

### `Optional` ciphers

ciphers?: string

Cipher suite specification, replacing the default. For more information, see modifying the default cipher suite. Permitted ciphers can be obtained via tls.getCiphers(). Cipher names must be uppercased in order for OpenSSL to accept them.

Inherited from SecureContextOptions.ciphers

- Defined in node_modules/@types/node/tls.d.ts:843

### `Optional` clientCertEngine

clientCertEngine?: string

- Defined in node_modules/@types/node/tls.d.ts:851

### `Optional` dhparam

dhparam?: string | Buffer

`'auto'` or custom Diffie-Hellman parameters, required for non-ECDHE perfect forward secrecy. If omitted or invalid, the parameters are silently discarded and DHE ciphers will not be available. ECDHE-based perfect forward secrecy will still be available.

Inherited from SecureContextOptions.dhparam

- Defined in node_modules/@types/node/tls.d.ts:857

### `Optional` ecdhCurve

ecdhCurve?: string

A string describing a named curve or a colon separated list of curve NIDs or names, for example P-521:P-384:P-256, to use for ECDH key agreement. Set to auto to select the curve automatically. Use crypto.getCurves() to obtain a list of available curve names. On recent releases, openssl ecparam -list_curves will also display the name and description of each available elliptic curve. Default: tls.DEFAULT_ECDH_CURVE.

Inherited from SecureContextOptions.ecdhCurve

- Defined in node_modules/@types/node/tls.d.ts:867

### `Optional` enableTrace

### `Optional` key

key?: string | Buffer | (string | Buffer | KeyObject)[]

Private keys in PEM format. PEM allows the option of private keys being encrypted. Encrypted keys will be decrypted with options.passphrase. Multiple keys using different algorithms can be provided either as an array of unencrypted key strings or buffers, or an array of objects in the form {pem: <string|buffer>[, passphrase: ]}. The object form can only occur in an array. object.passphrase is optional. Encrypted keys will be decrypted with object.passphrase if provided, or options.passphrase if it is not.

### `Optional` maxVersion

maxVersion?: SecureVersion

Optionally set the maximum TLS version to allow. One of `'TLSv1.3'`, `'TLSv1.2'`, `'TLSv1.1'`, or `'TLSv1'`. Cannot be specified along with the `secureProtocol` option, use one or the other. Default: `'TLSv1.3'`, unless changed using CLI options. Using `--tls-max-v1.2` sets the default to `'TLSv1.2'`. Using `--tls-max-v1.3` sets the default to `'TLSv1.3'`.

Use minVersion and maxVersion instead. The possible values are listed as SSL_METHODS, use the function names as strings. For example, use 'TLSv1_1_method' to force TLS version 1.1, or 'TLS_method' to allow any TLS protocol version up to TLSv1.3. It is not recommended to use TLS versions less than 1.2, but it may be required for interoperability. Default: none, see minVersion.
