NegotiateStream.AuthenticateAsServerAsync Method

Definition

Handles the server side of an authentication for a client-server connection as an asynchronous operation.

Overloads

AuthenticateAsServerAsync()

Called by servers to authenticate the client, and optionally the server, in a client-server connection as an asynchronous operation.

AuthenticateAsServerAsync(ExtendedProtectionPolicy)

Called by servers to authenticate the client, and optionally the server, in a client-server connection as an asynchronous operation. The authentication process uses the specified extended protection policy.

AuthenticateAsServerAsync(NetworkCredential, ProtectionLevel, TokenImpersonationLevel)

Called by servers to authenticate the client, and optionally the server, in a client-server connection as an asynchronous operation. The authentication process uses the specified server credentials and authentication options.

AuthenticateAsServerAsync(NetworkCredential, ExtendedProtectionPolicy, ProtectionLevel, TokenImpersonationLevel)

Called by servers to authenticate the client, and optionally the server, in a client-server connection as an asynchronous operation. The authentication process uses the specified server credentials, authentication options, and extended protection policy.

AuthenticateAsServerAsync()

Source:
NegotiateStream.cs
Source:
NegotiateStream.cs
Source:
NegotiateStream.cs

Called by servers to authenticate the client, and optionally the server, in a client-server connection as an asynchronous operation.

public virtual System.Threading.Tasks.Task AuthenticateAsServerAsync ();

Returns

The task object representing the asynchronous operation.

Exceptions

The authentication failed. You can use this object to retry the authentication.

The authentication failed. You can use this object to retry the authentication.

This object has been closed.

Windows 95 and Windows 98 are not supported.

Remarks

The authentication uses the server's DefaultCredentials. No Service Principal Name (SPN) is specified for the server. The impersonation level is Identification, and the security level is EncryptAndSign.

When authentication succeeds, you must check the IsEncrypted and IsSigned properties to determine what security services are used by the NegotiateStream. Check the IsMutuallyAuthenticated property to determine whether mutual authentication occurred.

If the authentication fails, you receive an AuthenticationException or an InvalidCredentialException. In this case, you can retry the authentication with a different credential.

This method stores in the task it returns all non-usage exceptions that the method's synchronous counterpart can throw. If an exception is stored into the returned task, that exception will be thrown when the task is awaited. Usage exceptions, such as ArgumentException, are still thrown synchronously. For the stored exceptions, see the exceptions thrown by AuthenticateAsServer().

AuthenticateAsServerAsync(ExtendedProtectionPolicy)

Source:
NegotiateStream.cs
Source:
NegotiateStream.cs
Source:
NegotiateStream.cs

Called by servers to authenticate the client, and optionally the server, in a client-server connection as an asynchronous operation. The authentication process uses the specified extended protection policy.

public virtual System.Threading.Tasks.Task AuthenticateAsServerAsync (System.Security.Authentication.ExtendedProtection.ExtendedProtectionPolicy? policy);
public virtual System.Threading.Tasks.Task AuthenticateAsServerAsync (System.Security.Authentication.ExtendedProtection.ExtendedProtectionPolicy policy);

Parameters

policy
ExtendedProtectionPolicy

The ExtendedProtectionPolicy that is used for extended protection.

Returns

The task object representing the asynchronous operation.

Exceptions

The CustomChannelBinding and CustomServiceNames on the extended protection policy passed in the policy parameter are both null.

The authentication failed. You can use this object to retry the authentication.

The authentication failed. You can use this object to retry the authentication.

This object has been closed.

The policy parameter was set to Always on a platform that does not support extended protection.

Windows 95 and Windows 98 are not supported.

Remarks

The authentication uses the server's DefaultCredentials. No Service Principal Name (SPN) is specified for the server. The impersonation level is Identification, and the security level is EncryptAndSign.

If the policy parameter is null, then an extended protection policy is used that has PolicyEnforcement set to Never.

When authentication succeeds, you must check the IsEncrypted and IsSigned properties to determine what security services are used by the NegotiateStream. Check the IsMutuallyAuthenticated property to determine whether mutual authentication occurred.

If the authentication fails, you receive an AuthenticationException or an InvalidCredentialException. In this case, you can retry the authentication with a different credential.

AuthenticateAsServerAsync(NetworkCredential, ProtectionLevel, TokenImpersonationLevel)

Source:
NegotiateStream.cs
Source:
NegotiateStream.cs
Source:
NegotiateStream.cs

Called by servers to authenticate the client, and optionally the server, in a client-server connection as an asynchronous operation. The authentication process uses the specified server credentials and authentication options.

public virtual System.Threading.Tasks.Task AuthenticateAsServerAsync (System.Net.NetworkCredential credential, System.Net.Security.ProtectionLevel requiredProtectionLevel, System.Security.Principal.TokenImpersonationLevel requiredImpersonationLevel);

Parameters

credential
NetworkCredential

The NetworkCredential that is used to establish the identity of the server.

requiredProtectionLevel
ProtectionLevel

One of the ProtectionLevel values, indicating the security services for the stream.

requiredImpersonationLevel
TokenImpersonationLevel

One of the TokenImpersonationLevel values, indicating how the server can use the client's credentials to access resources.

Returns

The task object representing the asynchronous operation.

Exceptions

credential is null.

requiredImpersonationLevel must be Identification, Impersonation, or Delegation,

The authentication failed. You can use this object to try to r-authenticate.

The authentication failed. You can use this object to retry the authentication.

This object has been closed.

Authentication has already occurred.

-or-

This stream was used previously to attempt authentication as the client. You cannot use the stream to retry authentication as the server.

Windows 95 and Windows 98 are not supported.
