This method authenticates using System.Security.Authentication.SslProtocols.Default. The certificate revocation list is not checked during authentication. The client is not required to provide a certificate for authentication.

This method blocks until the operation completes. To prevent blocking until the operation completes, use one of the erload:System.Net.Security.SslStream.BeginAuthenticateAsServer method overloads.

If the authentication fails, you receive a System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException, and this System.Net.Security.SslStream is no longer useable. You should close this object and remove all references to it so that it can be collected by the garbage collector.
