Enumerate Server-Advertised Acceptable Client CAs

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.GetSslAcceptableClientCaDn, which returns a certificate-authority distinguished name advertised by a TLS server when it requests a client certificate.

Background. Valid indexes range from 0 through NumSslAcceptableClientCAs minus one. A client can use these names to select an appropriate client certificate.
