Attributes and Elements

The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements

Attributes

Attribute Description

customCertificateValidatorType

A type and assembly used to validate a custom type. This attribute must be set when certificateValidationMode is set to Custom.

certifcateValidationMode

Specifies one of three modes used to validate credentials. If set to Custom, then a customCertificateValidator must also be supplied.

revocationMode

One of the modes used to check for a revoked certificate lists (CRL).

trustedStoreLocation

One of the two system store locations: LocalMachine or CurrentUser. This value is used when a service certificate is negotiated to the client. Validation is performed against the Trusted People store in the specified store location.

Child Elements

None.

Parent Elements

Element Description

<peer> of <clientCredentials> Element

Specifies a credential used for authenticating the client to a peer service.

Remarks

This element must be configured if message authentication is chosen. For output channels, each message is signed using the certificate provided by <certificate> Element. All messages, before delivered to the application, are checked against the message credential using the validator specified by the customCertificateValidatorType attribute of this element. The validator can either accept or reject the credential.

Example

The following code sets the message sender validation mode to PeerOrChainTrust.

<behaviors>
 <endpointBehaviors>
  <behavior name="MyEndpointBehavior">
   <clientCredentials>
    <peer>
      <certificate findValue="www.contoso.com" 
                   storeLocation="LocalMachine"
                   x509FindType="FindByIssuerName" />
        <messageSenderAuthentication 
          certificateValidationMode="PeerOrChainTrust" />
       <messageSenderAuthentication certificateValidationMode="None" />
    </peer>
   </clientCredentials>
  </behavior>
 </endpointBehaviors>
