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 pop is a Pop3 component instance): pop.SslCertificates.Server. To set the client certificate, the developer should assign pop.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).

[C#]
using System;
using MailBee;

using MailBee.Security;

class Sample
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Pop3 pop = new Pop3();
        pop.SslMode = SslStartupMode.OnConnect;
        pop.SslCertificates.Client = new Certificate(@"C:\my.pfx", CertFileType.Pfx, "secret");
        pop.Connect("mail.domain.com", 995);
        Console.WriteLine("The server certificate info");
        Console.WriteLine("===========================");
        Console.WriteLine("Issued by:    " + pop.SslCertificates.Server.IssuedBy);
        Console.WriteLine("Issued to:    " + pop.SslCertificates.Server.IssuedTo);
        Console.WriteLine("Valid from:    " + pop.SslCertificates.Server.ValidFromDate);
        Console.WriteLine("Valid to:    " + pop.SslCertificates.Server.ValidToDate);
        pop.Disconnect();
    }
