Examples
The following code shows how to set this property.
// Create a service host.
Uri httpUri = new Uri("http://localhost/Calculator");
ServiceHost sh = new ServiceHost(typeof(Calculator), httpUri);
// Create a binding that uses a certificate.
WSHttpBinding b = new WSHttpBinding(SecurityMode.Message);
b.Security.Message.ClientCredentialType =
MessageCredentialType.Certificate;
// Get a reference to the authentication object.
X509ClientCertificateAuthentication myAuthProperties =
sh.Credentials.ClientCertificate.Authentication;
// Configure IncludeWindowsGroups.
myAuthProperties.IncludeWindowsGroups = true;
' Create a service host.
Dim httpUri As New Uri("http://localhost/Calculator")
Dim sh As New ServiceHost(GetType(Calculator), httpUri)
' Create a binding that uses a certificate.
Dim b As New WSHttpBinding(SecurityMode.Message)
b.Security.Message.ClientCredentialType = MessageCredentialType.Certificate
' Get a reference to the authentication object.
Dim myAuthProperties As X509ClientCertificateAuthentication = _
sh.Credentials.ClientCertificate.Authentication
' Configure IncludeWindowsGroups.
myAuthProperties.IncludeWindowsGroups = True
The property can also be set in a configuration file.
<serviceCredentials>
<clientCertificate>
<authentication includeWindowsGroups ='true'/>
</clientCertificate>
</serviceCredentials>
Remarks
This property is valid only when the MapClientCertificateToWindowsAccount property is set to true.
Set this property to false only if you do not need to establish the list of groups a user belongs to - this may result in a performance benefit if your application and authorization decisions do not require Windows groups.
