client certification silverlight

Question

Hi,

i would retrieve the client certification in Silverlight from an application that accept client certification, like in ASP.NET with HttpClientCertificate cert = Request.ClientCertificates; there is something to do this in SL2?

Answer 1

No, there is not; those certificates are passed to your server, if supported, and not available on the client side, since they were part of the HTTP request.

You may be able to surface some kind of authentication or validation information back to your Silverlight app, if really required, of course, by adding the proper web service or code into the Silverlight-serving page.
