Equalivent for openssl s_client-连接 <hostname> ： <port> 在C＃中

Question

When I execute a openssl command to connect a particular server [myadda.tie.fire.glass.... dummy server name] , it gives me some output.

openssl s_client -connect myadda.tie.fire.glass:443

It gives me some output which contains information like

• server certificate
• issuer information

And another command which required the certificate from above command to provide me details info about the certificate.

openssl x509 -in <Certificate_FileName.crt> -text -nout

It gives me output as information about the certificate

• issued for server
• Validity

I want similar kind of output using some C# classes. I am not sure how to solve this query. Can anyone help me out?

Answer 1

Well below code help me to retrieve the required information.

            X509Certificate2 cert = null;
            var client = new TcpClient(host, 443);
            var certValidation = new RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(delegate (object snd, X509Certificate certificate, X509Chain chainLocal, SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors)
            {
                //Accept every certificate, even if it's invalid
                return true;
            });

            // Create an SSL stream and takeover client's stream
            using (var sslStream = new SslStream(client.GetStream(), true, certValidation))
            {
                sslStream.AuthenticateAsClient(host);

                var serverCertificate = sslStream.RemoteCertificate;
                cert = new X509Certificate2(serverCertificate);

                //Convert Raw Data to Base64String
                var certBytes = cert.Export(X509ContentType.Cert);

                var certAsString = Convert.ToBase64String(certBytes, Base64FormattingOptions.None);

            }

Here vertAsString gives me the certificate whereas cert gives me the other required information.
