(Unicode C) Accept TLS Connection with Client Authentication

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".

    // MaxReadIdleMs and MaxSendIdleMs properties. If these properties are set to 0

    // AcceptNextConnection can hang indefinitely during the SSL handshake process.
