Connecting Unity with Secure WebSocket using Node.js: A Comprehensive Guide

WebSocket is a powerful protocol that facilitates real-time communication between clients and servers. As developers increasingly lean towards integrating WebSocket-based solutions within their applications, they sometimes encounter pitfalls, especially when dealing with secure connections. One common challenge is establishing a connection from Unity's WebSocket client to a Secure WebSocket (WSS) server running on Node.js.

In this post, we'll explore a common issue encountered by developers when trying to connect Unity with a Secure WebSocket server created with Node.js, particularly related to SSL/TLS configurations. We will also provide a step-by-step guide on how to resolve these connection problems effectively.

The Problem

When attempting to connect Unity to a WebSocket server using a self-signed SSL certificate, developers often see an error message indicating that the connection state is not open. Here's a brief overview of the situation:

Setup: A web server using Node.js and WebSocket is created, both running on port 443 (the default port for HTTPS connections).

Error: The Unity client fails to establish a connection and throws an exception stating, "InvalidOperationException: The current state of the connection is not Open."

Testing: Upon switching from Secure WebSocket (WSS) to standard HTTP connection (on port 80), the Unity client successfully connects, indicating a potential issue with the SSL/TLS configuration.

The Solution

To effectively connect Unity to a Secure WebSocket server, we need to ensure the SSL/TLS protocols are configured correctly in Unity. Below are the steps to resolve the issue:

Step 1: Update Your Unity WebSocket Client Code

Modify your Unity client code to include the necessary SSL settings for secure connections. See the updated code below:

Step 2: Enable SSL Protocols

It's crucial to specify the SSL protocols for the WebSocketSharp library. In the Start() method, we set EnabledSslProtocols explicitly to Tls12. This ensures that the connection uses the correct protocol version, which can help in compatibility with most modern WebSocket servers.

Step 3: Testing the Connection

After integrating the changes, launch your Node.js server and run the Unity client. When you do the following:

Connect to the Secure WebSocket: Execute the Unity application and watch your console for the initial connection state and incoming messages.

Check for Errors: Ensure there are no errors indicating issues with the connection. Successfully receiving messages should confirm that the connection is working as intended.

Conclusion

By following the steps outlined in this guide, you should now be able to connect your Unity applications to a Secure WebSocket server with Node.js effectively. Adjusting the SSL configuration is a critical step in establishing seamless communication.

Real-time connectivity through Secure WebSocket is vital for modern interactive applications, from gaming to collaborative tools; thus, understanding and implementing these steps will enhance your development skills.
