Examples

The following code shows how to set this property.

// Configure custom certificate validation.
ClientCredentials creds = new ClientCredentials();
creds.ServiceCertificate.Authentication.CertificateValidationMode
    = X509CertificateValidationMode.Custom;
creds.ServiceCertificate.Authentication.CustomCertificateValidator
    = new MyCertificateValidator();

' Configure custom certificate validation.
Dim creds As New ClientCredentials()
creds.ServiceCertificate.Authentication.CertificateValidationMode = X509CertificateValidationMode.Custom
creds.ServiceCertificate.Authentication.CustomCertificateValidator = New MyCertificateValidator()

The property can also be set in a configuration file.

Remarks

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) provides a default client certificate validator that verifies the client certificate against the trusted people store and also checks that the certificate is part of a chain that connects to a valid root. A custom validator can be implemented to obtain a different behavior. This property allows a custom validator to be specified.
