Get the Configured Server-Side TLS Certificate

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.GetMyServerCert, which copies the TLS server certificate configured by InitSslServer into a Cert object.

The file path is relative to the application's current working directory. An absolute path may also be used. Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.
