Remarks
The overloads of this method do not block while authentication is in progress. To block while waiting for the authentication to complete, use one of the AuthenticateAsClient methods.
BeginAuthenticateAsClient(NetworkCredential, ChannelBinding, String, ProtectionLevel, TokenImpersonationLevel, AsyncCallback, Object)
Called by clients to begin an asynchronous operation to authenticate the client, and optionally the server, in a client-server connection. The authentication process uses the specified credentials, authentication options, and channel binding. This method does not block.
public virtual IAsyncResult BeginAuthenticateAsClient (System.Net.NetworkCredential credential, System.Security.Authentication.ExtendedProtection.ChannelBinding binding, string targetName, System.Net.Security.ProtectionLevel requiredProtectionLevel, System.Security.Principal.TokenImpersonationLevel allowedImpersonationLevel, AsyncCallback asyncCallback, object asyncState);
- credential
- NetworkCredential
The NetworkCredential that is used to establish the identity of the client.
- binding
- ChannelBinding
The ChannelBinding that is used for extended protection.
- targetName
- String
The Service Principal Name (SPN) that uniquely identifies the server to authenticate.
- requiredProtectionLevel
- ProtectionLevel
One of the ProtectionLevel values, indicating the security services for the stream.
- allowedImpersonationLevel
- TokenImpersonationLevel
One of the TokenImpersonationLevel values, indicating how the server can use the client's credentials to access resources.
- asyncCallback
- AsyncCallback
An AsyncCallback delegate that references the method to invoke when the authentication is complete.
- asyncState
- Object
A user-defined object containing information about the write operation. This object is passed to the asyncCallback delegate when the operation completes.
An IAsyncResult object indicating the status of the asynchronous operation.
The authentication failed. You can use this object to retry the authentication.
The authentication failed. You can use this object to retry the authentication.
Authentication has already occurred.
- or -
This stream was used previously to attempt authentication as the server. You cannot use the stream to retry authentication as the client.
This object has been closed.
Remarks
Use the requiredProtectionLevel parameter to request security services for data transmitted using the authenticated stream. For example, to have the data encrypted and signed, specify the EncryptAndSign value. Successful authentication does not guarantee that the requested ProtectionLevel has been granted. You must check the IsEncrypted and IsSigned properties to determine what security services are used by the NegotiateStream.
This method is asynchronous and does not block while the operation completes. To block until the operation completes, use one of the AuthenticateAsClient method overloads.
The asynchronous authentication operation must be completed by calling the EndAuthenticateAsClient method. Typically, the method is invoked by the asyncCallback delegate. For detailed information about using the asynchronous programming model, see Calling Synchronous Methods Asynchronously
If the authentication fails, you receive an AuthenticationException or an InvalidCredentialException. In this case, you can retry the authentication with a different credential.
BeginAuthenticateAsClient(AsyncCallback, Object)
Called by clients to begin an asynchronous operation to authenticate the client, and optionally the server, in a client-server connection. This method does not block.

- asyncCallback
- AsyncCallback
An AsyncCallback delegate that references the method to invoke when the authentication is complete.
- asyncState
- Object
A user-defined object containing information about the operation. This object is passed to the asyncCallback delegate when the operation completes.

- or -
This stream was used previously to attempt authentication as the server. You cannot use the stream to retry authentication as the client.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates calling this method to begin an asynchronous authentication for the client.
// Establish the remote endpoint for the socket.
// For this example, use the local machine.
IPHostEntry^ ipHostInfo = Dns::GetHostEntry( Dns::GetHostName() );
IPAddress^ ipAddress = ipHostInfo->AddressList[ 0 ];
// Client and server use port 11000.
IPEndPoint^ remoteEP = gcnew IPEndPoint( ipAddress,11000 );
// Create a TCP/IP socket.
client = gcnew TcpClient;
// Connect the socket to the remote endpoint.
client->Connect( remoteEP );
Console::WriteLine( L"Client connected to {0}.", remoteEP );
// Ensure the client does not close when there is
// still data to be sent to the server.
client->LingerState = (gcnew LingerOption( true,0 ));
// Request authentication.
NetworkStream^ clientStream = client->GetStream();
NegotiateStream^ authStream = gcnew NegotiateStream( clientStream,false );
// Pass the NegotiateStream as the AsyncState object
// so that it is available to the callback delegate.
IAsyncResult^ ar = authStream->BeginAuthenticateAsClient( gcnew AsyncCallback( EndAuthenticateCallback ), authStream );
// Establish the remote endpoint for the socket.
// For this example, use the local machine.
IPHostEntry ipHostInfo = Dns.GetHostEntry("localhost");
IPAddress ipAddress = ipHostInfo.AddressList[0];
// Client and server use port 11000.
IPEndPoint remoteEP = new IPEndPoint(ipAddress, 11000);
// Create a TCP/IP socket.
client = new TcpClient();
// Connect the socket to the remote endpoint.
client.Connect(remoteEP);
Console.WriteLine("Client connected to {0}.", remoteEP.ToString());
// Ensure the client does not close when there is
// still data to be sent to the server.
client.LingerState = (new LingerOption(true, 0));
// Request authentication.
NetworkStream clientStream = client.GetStream();
NegotiateStream authStream = new NegotiateStream(clientStream, false);
// Pass the NegotiateStream as the AsyncState object
// so that it is available to the callback delegate.
IAsyncResult ar = authStream.BeginAuthenticateAsClient(
new AsyncCallback(EndAuthenticateCallback),
authStream
);
Remarks
The authentication uses the client's DefaultCredentials. No Service Principal Name (SPN) is specified for the server. The impersonation level is Identification, and the security level is EncryptAndSign. The NegotiateStream class will construct the SPN used for mutual authentication.
This method is asynchronous and does not block while the operation completes. To block until the operation completes, use one of the AuthenticateAsClient method overloads.
The asynchronous authentication operation must be completed by calling the EndAuthenticateAsClient method. Typically, the method is invoked by the asyncCallback delegate. For detailed information about using the asynchronous programming model, see Calling Synchronous Methods Asynchronously
