Detailed Description

Instantiate and run a TeamTalk server.

The Professional Edition of the TeamTalk SDK includes a header file called TeamTalkSrv.h which exposes the TeamTalk server API.

To create a TeamTalk server instance first call TTS_InitTeamTalk(). If the server should be encrypted then call TTS_SetEncryptionContext() prior to the instantiation, since the SSL context must be available before instantiation of the server.

Next configure the server instance by calling TTS_UpdateServer(). Remember to set all properties of ServerProperties. Also create a root channel by calling TTS_MakeChannel(). If there is no root channel then the server will not start. Finally call TTS_StartServer() to start the server. Now you must continuesly call TTS_RunEventLoop() to run the server event loop.

The TeamTalk server API is able to do callbacks when users perform certain events. There are two types of callbacks, one is Server Notification Callbacks and the other is Server Request Callbacks where the server is asking the server application on what to return to the user (a ClientErrorMsg is provided by the server API which will be returned to the user).

To see a simple example application of a TeamTalk server check out TeamTalk C++ Server Example (TeamTalkServer).

Function Documentation

◆ TTS_SetEncryptionContext()

TEAMTALKDLL_API TTBOOL TTS_SetEncryptionContext ( IN TTSInstance lpTTSInstance,
IN const TTCHAR szCertificateFile,
IN const TTCHAR szPrivateKeyFile 
)

Set certificate and private key for encrypted server.

The encrypted server's certificate and private key must be set prior to starting the server using TTS_StartServer().

Look in TeamTalk Server Setup Guide on how to generate the certificate and private key file using OpenSSL.

Note that this encryption option doesn't set up a certificate authority for verifying peers connecting to the server. To verify this use TTS_SetEncryptionContextEx().

Parameters
lpTTSInstancePointer to the server instance created by TTS_InitTeamTalk().
szCertificateFilePath to server's certificate file.
szPrivateKeyFilePath to server's private key file.

TTS_SetEncryptionContextEx()

◆ TTS_SetEncryptionContextEx()

TEAMTALKDLL_API TTBOOL TTS_SetEncryptionContextEx ( IN TTSInstance lpTTSInstance,
const EncryptionContext lpEncryptionContext 
)

Set up encryption context for encrypted server.

The encryption context for the server must be set prior to starting the server using TTS_StartServer().

Minimal requirements for the encryption context is to set certificate and private key.

Look in TeamTalk Server Setup Guide on how to generate the certificate and private key file using OpenSSL.

Parameters
lpTTSInstancePointer to the server instance created by TTS_InitTeamTalk().
lpEncryptionContextThe encryption context for the server, i.e. server certificate, private key and optionally certificate authority.
See also
TTS_SetEncryptionContextEx()

◆ TTS_InitTeamTalk()

TEAMTALKDLL_API TTSInstance * TTS_InitTeamTalk ( )

Create new TeamTalk server instance.

Once server instance is created call TTS_UpdateServer() to set the server's properties followed by TTS_MakeChannel() to create the root channel.

* NOTE: AT THE MOMENT CALL TTS_SetEncryptionContext() BEFORE
* CREATING THE SERVER INSTANCE, TTS_InitTeamTalk(). JUST PASS 0
* AS lpTTSInstance. IN OTHER WORDS ONLY ONE ENCRYPTION CONTEXT IS
* SUPPORTED AT THE MOMENT.

◆ TTS_RunEventLoop()

TEAMTALKDLL_API TTBOOL TTS_RunEventLoop ( IN TTSInstance lpTTSInstance,
IN INT32 *  pnWaitMs 
)

TTS_InitTeamTalk()

◆ TTS_SetChannelFilesRoot()

TEAMTALKDLL_API INT32 TTS_SetChannelFilesRoot ( IN TTSInstance lpTTSInstance,

IN INT64  nDefaultChannelQuota 
)

The root folder of where users should upload files to.

The root file folder cannot be changed after the server has been started.

Ensure to set USERRIGHT_UPLOAD_FILES and USERRIGHT_DOWNLOAD_FILES in user's UserAccount.

Parameters
lpTTSInstancePointer to the server instance created by TTS_InitTeamTalk().
szFilesRootDirectory where to store uploaded files.

◆ TTS_UpdateServer()

TEAMTALKDLL_API INT32 TTS_UpdateServer ( IN TTSInstance lpTTSInstance,
IN const ServerProperties lpServerProperties 
)

Set server properties.

Set server's properties, like e.g. maximum number of users, server name, etc.

Server properties must be set prior to starting a server.
