TmschAuthenticationTypes Enumeration

Namespace: System.Net.Security

Type: Enumeration

Defines the authentication types that can be used to authenticate a client and server application.

Syntax

public enum TmschAuthenticationTypes

Members

Remarks

The TmschAuthenticationTypes enumeration is used to specify the authentication mechanisms that can be employed when establishing a secure connection between a client and a server. This enumeration is particularly relevant in scenarios involving protocols like HTTP or FTP where authentication is crucial for security and access control.

When configuring a client or server application, you can specify one or more of these authentication types to determine how identities are verified. The All member allows for negotiation and selection of the most appropriate authentication method supported by both parties.

Example

The following C# code snippet demonstrates how to specify Basic and Anonymous authentication for an HttpWebRequest:

using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Security;

public class Example {
    public static void Main() {
        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://example.com/secure/data");

        // Setting authentication types
        request.AuthenticationTypes = AuthenticationTypes.Basic | AuthenticationTypes.Anonymous;

        // Optionally set credentials if Basic authentication is chosen and required
        // request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");

        try {
            using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse()) {
                Console.WriteLine("Response received. Status code: {0}", response.StatusCode);
                // Process the response...
            }
        } catch (WebException ex) {
            Console.WriteLine("Error: {0}", ex.Message);
        }
    }
}
