Property Value

Type: System::Boolean

true if the certificate is mapped to Windows accounts; otherwise, false. The default is false.

This property is valid only when the MapClientCertificateToWindowsAccount property is set to true.

When using the certificate client credential type on bindings, the certificate is not mapped to Windows accounts. You can override this behavior using this property. When this property is set to true, it causes the identity from the client certificate to be mapped to a Windows account. It requires that the service is running in a privileged account and that the domain be configured to support this functionality.
