Name

ICertificatePolicy

Synopsis

This interface validates the certificates that web servers present to your applications. If you create a web request that uses the https protocol, the .NET Framework uses the default certificate policy to validate the server’s certificate.

You can implement this interface to create your own custom certificate policy. Unlike authentication modules, only one certificate policy may be active at a time. To set this, create an instance of your implementation and assign it to ServicePointManager.CertificatePolicy.

public interface ICertificatePolicy {
// Public Instance Methods
   public bool CheckValidationResult(ServicePoint srvPoint,
       System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate certificate,
       WebRequest request, int certificateProblem);
}
