CertificateAcceptancePolicy Property (UAClientServerEngineParameters)

Determines which server certificates are accepted.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Property CertificateAcceptancePolicy As UACertificateAcceptancePolicy

'Usage
 
Dim instance As UAClientServerEngineParameters
Dim value As UACertificateAcceptancePolicy
 
instance.CertificateAcceptancePolicy = value
 
value = instance.CertificateAcceptancePolicy

public UACertificateAcceptancePolicy CertificateAcceptancePolicy {get; set;}

public:
property UACertificateAcceptancePolicy^ CertificateAcceptancePolicy {
   UACertificateAcceptancePolicy^ get();
   void set (    UACertificateAcceptancePolicy^ value);
}

Remarks

In order to obtain or modify this parameter, access the EasyUASharedParameters.EngineParameters property of static OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.EasyUAClientCore.SharedParameters.
