Provides access to the client and server SSL certificate settings.

Property Value

A reference to the client and server SSL certificate settings.

Remarks

The following code should be used to access the server certificate (assuming server is an SmtpServer class instance currently used by Smtp component as an SMTP server definition): server.SslCertificates.Server. To set the client certificate, the developer should assign server.SslCertificates.Client property.

Note   Prior to starting using certificates, the developer must set LicenseKey property of Powerup class (this can be accomplished in the code, in the config file such as app.config, or in the registry).

Example

This console sample establishes secure connection with the mail server using the private certificate of the client and then displays various information about the server certificate. The client certificate is taken from a file (MailBee can also read certificates from the registry, see CertificateStore class description for details).
