Get a Received Client Certificate (Server Side)

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.GetRcvdClientCert, which copies a client certificate presented during the TLS handshake of an accepted server-side connection 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.
