Accept TLS Connection with Client Authentication

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates how to accept a TLS connection requiring client authentication. This is the case where the TLS client sends a certificate. It is also known as "Two-Way SSL". C

    // channel. The sending and receiving of these messages are governed by the 
    // MaxReadIdleMs and MaxSendIdleMs properties. If these properties are set to 0 
    // (and this is the default unless changed by your application), then the 
    // AcceptNext can hang indefinitely during the SSL handshake process.
