Secure Property  
 

Set or return if client connections are encrypted using the TLS protocol.

Syntax

object.Secure [={ True | False } ]

Remarks

The Secure property determines if client connections are encrypted using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. The default value for this property is False, which specifies that clients will use a standard, unencrypted connection to the server. To enable secure connections, the application should set this property value to True prior to calling the Start method.

When secure connections are enabled, the server will accept the client connection and then wait for the client to initiate the handshake where both the client and server negotiate the various encryption options available. This process is handled automatically by the server, and all that is required is that the application specify the server certificate which should be used. This is done by setting the CertificateName property, and optionally the CertificateStore property if required.
