sslPolicyErrors As SslPolicyErrors _
) As Boolean
Return Value
Type:
System..::.BooleanA Boolean value that determines whether the specified certificate is accepted for authentication.
The delegate's sslPolicyErrors argument contains any certificate errors returned by SSPI while authenticating the client or server. The Boolean value returned by the method invoked by this delegate determines whether the authentication is allowed to succeed.
This delegate is used with the SslStream class.
The following code example implements a method that is invoked by an instance of the RemoteCertificateValidationCallback class. If there are validation errors, this method displays them and returns false, which prevents communication with the unauthenticated server.
