SslStream::BeginAuthenticateAsServer Method (X509Certificate^, Boolean, Boolean, AsyncCallback^, Object^)

 

Called by servers to begin an asynchronous operation to authenticate the server and optionally the client using the specified certificates and requirements, and the system default security protocol.

Namespace:   System.Net.Security
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)

public:
[HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction::LinkDemand, ExternalThreading = true)]
virtual IAsyncResult^ BeginAuthenticateAsServer(
	X509Certificate^ serverCertificate,
	bool clientCertificateRequired,
	bool checkCertificateRevocation,
	AsyncCallback^ asyncCallback,
	Object^ asyncState
)

Parameters

serverCertificate
Type: System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates::X509Certificate^

The X509Certificate used to authenticate the server.

clientCertificateRequired
Type: System::Boolean

A Boolean value that specifies whether the client is asked for a certificate for authentication. Note that this is only a request -- if no certificate is provided, the server still accepts the connection request.

checkCertificateRevocation
Type: System::Boolean

A Boolean value that specifies whether the certificate revocation list is checked during authentication.

asyncCallback
Type: System::AsyncCallback^

An AsyncCallback delegate that references the method to invoke when the authentication is complete.

asyncState
Type: System::Object^

A user-defined object that contains information about the operation. This object is passed to the asyncCallback delegate when the operation completes.

Return Value

Type: System::IAsyncResult^

An IAsyncResult object that indicates the status of the asynchronous operation.

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

serverCertificate is null.

AuthenticationException

The authentication failed and left this object in an unusable state.

InvalidOperationException

Authentication has already occurred.

-or-

Server authentication using this SslStream was tried previously.

-or-

Authentication is already in progress.

ObjectDisposedException

This object has been closed.

PlatformNotSupportedException

The BeginAuthenticateAsServer method is not supported on Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Millennium.

The asynchronous authentication operation must be completed by calling the EndAuthenticateAsServer method. Typically, the method is invoked by the asyncCallback delegate.

This method does not block while the operation completes. To block until the operation completes, use one of the AuthenticateAsServer method overloads.

If you receive a AuthenticationException, this SslStream is no longer useable. You should close this object and remove all references to it so that it can be collected by the garbage collector.
