Examples

The following code example demonstrates displaying the value of this property.

static void DisplaySecurityServices( SslStream^ stream )
{
   Console::WriteLine( L"Is authenticated: {0} as server? {1}", stream->IsAuthenticated, stream->IsServer );
   Console::WriteLine( L"IsSigned: {0}", stream->IsSigned );
   Console::WriteLine( L"Is Encrypted: {0}", stream->IsEncrypted );
   Console::WriteLine( L"Is mutually authenticated: {0}", stream->IsMutuallyAuthenticated );
}
static void DisplaySecurityServices(SslStream stream)
{
   Console.WriteLine("Is authenticated: {0} as server? {1}", stream.IsAuthenticated, stream.IsServer);
   Console.WriteLine("IsSigned: {0}", stream.IsSigned);
   Console.WriteLine("Is Encrypted: {0}", stream.IsEncrypted);
   Console.WriteLine("Is mutually authenticated: {0}", stream.IsMutuallyAuthenticated);
}
Private Shared Sub DisplaySecurityServices(stream As SslStream)
    Console.WriteLine("Is authenticated: {0} as server? {1}", stream.IsAuthenticated, stream.IsServer)
    Console.WriteLine("IsSigned: {0}", stream.IsSigned)
    Console.WriteLine("Is Encrypted: {0}", stream.IsEncrypted)
    Console.WriteLine("Is mutually authenticated: {0}", stream.IsMutuallyAuthenticated)
End Sub

Remarks

Mutual authentication is specified by the server when the server wants the client to provide a certificate for authentication.
