keith,

What do you mean how it is achieved? This is used in ASP.NET pages, and
is sent by the client if you have the server configured to require a client
certificate when accessing the server.

Does anyone know how the signature is achieved? It looks like a MD5
hash...

Hi Nicholas,

Sorry if I wasn't specific enough.

What I mean is that (if I remember correctly - I don't have access to
a machine where I can test right now) the return value is a 32
character string containing the characters from the set '0'..'9' and
'a'..'f'. Therefore my guess is that it's a MD5 hash.

If that assumption is correct, is the hash calculated from the binary
value of HttpClientCertificate.Certificate, or a combination of other
HttpClientCertificate properties? Or am I completely off base with how
the "signature for the whole client certificate" is derived?

Thanks!
