Accept TLS Connection with Client Authentication

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates how to accept a TLS connection requiring client authentication. This is the case where the TLS client sends a certificate. It is also known as "Two-Way SSL". Java

    // To accept client client certificates in the TLS handshake,
    // we must indicate a list of acceptable client certificate root CA DN's
    // that are allowed.  (DN is an acronym for Distinguished Name.)

    // Here are a few examples so you can see the general format of a DN.

    // If accepting an SSL/TLS connection, the SSL handshake is part of the connection
    // establishment process. This involves a few back-and-forth messages between the 
    // client and server to establish algorithms and a shared key to create the secure 
    // channel. The sending and receiving of these messages are governed by the 
    // MaxReadIdleMs and MaxSendIdleMs properties. If these properties are set to 0 
    // (and this is the default unless changed by your application), then the 
    // AcceptNext can hang indefinitely during the SSL handshake process. 
    // Make sure these properties are set to appropriate values before calling AcceptNext.

    // Set a 10 second max for waiting to read/write.  This is for the SSL/TLS handshake establishment.

    // message.  Read it:
