Remarks

This method is used to validate a client certificate against a set of policy rules. It checks for various conditions such as revocation, expiration, and trusted issuers.

The sslPolicyErrors parameter is an enumeration that can specify a combination of errors to check for. For example, you might want to allow expired certificates in certain scenarios by excluding the RemoteCertificateExpired flag.

This method is typically called within the callback of an RemoteCertificateValidationCallback delegate.
