AuthenticatedStream.IsServer Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Net.Security

Assembly:

System.Net.Security.dll

Source:

AuthenticatedStream.cs

Gets a Boolean value that indicates whether the local side of the connection was authenticated as the server.

public:
 abstract property bool IsServer { bool get(); };

public abstract bool IsServer { get; }

member this.IsServer : bool

Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property IsServer As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

true if the local endpoint was authenticated as the server side of a client-server authenticated connection; false if the local endpoint was authenticated as the client.

Examples

The following example demonstrates displaying the value of this property.

// The following class displays the properties of an authenticatedStream.
public ref class AuthenticatedStreamReporter
{
public:
   static void DisplayProperties( AuthenticatedStream^ stream )
   {
      Console::WriteLine( L"IsAuthenticated: {0}", stream->IsAuthenticated );
      Console::WriteLine( L"IsMutuallyAuthenticated: {0}", stream->IsMutuallyAuthenticated );
      Console::WriteLine( L"IsEncrypted: {0}", stream->IsEncrypted );
      Console::WriteLine( L"IsSigned: {0}", stream->IsSigned );
      Console::WriteLine( L"IsServer: {0}", stream->IsServer );
   }

};

// The following class displays the properties of an authenticatedStream.
public class AuthenticatedStreamReporter
{
    public static void DisplayProperties(AuthenticatedStream stream)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("IsAuthenticated: {0}", stream.IsAuthenticated);
        Console.WriteLine("IsMutuallyAuthenticated: {0}", stream.IsMutuallyAuthenticated);
        Console.WriteLine("IsEncrypted: {0}", stream.IsEncrypted);
        Console.WriteLine("IsSigned: {0}", stream.IsSigned);
        Console.WriteLine("IsServer: {0}", stream.IsServer);
    }
}

' The following class displays the properties of an AuthenticatedStream.
Public Class AuthenticatedStreamReporter
    Public Shared Sub DisplayProperties(stream As AuthenticatedStream)
        Console.WriteLine("IsAuthenticated: {0}", stream.IsAuthenticated)
        Console.WriteLine("IsMutuallyAuthenticated: {0}", stream.IsMutuallyAuthenticated)
        Console.WriteLine("IsEncrypted: {0}", stream.IsEncrypted)
        Console.WriteLine("IsSigned: {0}", stream.IsSigned)
        Console.WriteLine("IsServer: {0}", stream.IsServer)
    End Sub
End Class

Remarks

Most security protocols used for client-server authentication define specific behavior and requirements for supplying credentials for authentication based on whether you are the client or the server.
