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". PureBasic

    ;  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.
