ClientCertificateResponse Class
Namespace: System.Net.Security
Declaring type: System.Object
Represents the response from the server regarding a client certificate request.
Syntax
public ref class ClientCertificateResponse sealed" : System::Object"Remarks
The ClientCertificateResponse class is used by the client to communicate its response to a server's request for a client certificate. This typically occurs during SSL/TLS handshake negotiation when the server requires client authentication.
When a server requests a client certificate, it sends a Certificate Request message. The client application can then use the ClientCertificateResponse class to specify whether it will provide a certificate, and if so, which certificate to provide.
This class is part of the core .NET networking and security infrastructure, enabling secure client-server communication with mutual authentication.
