How can WCF client detect that server requires security certificate? The detection should happen at runtime.
The first thing that I have in mind to resolve such issue it will be to connect to that server and call a method or something like that. Put the server call in a try-catch block and read the message at runtime.
For example, I tried this in a application of mine which connected with a server with security certificates, deleting the part for certificates in my clients. I had an error like this:
The client certificate is not provided. Specify a client certificate in ClientCredentials.So if this Exception is caught, you can detect at runtime that the server requires security certificate.
There may be more Exception messages for this problem. Also, I don’t know if it is the best way. But it should work.
