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". PowerBuilder

// If accepting an SSL/TLS connection, the SSL handshake is part of the connection

// 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. 
// Make sure these properties are set to appropriate values before calling AcceptNext.
