Hi All,

I need to know whats the significance of IsChainIncluded property in certificate reference.

As per below msdn blog

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms731383.aspx

IsChainIncluded A Boolean value that specifies if the validation is done using a certificate chain.

I need to know what it is getting validated exactly.

Because If i made this flag false, then my certificates work fine. in case of true, its not able to detect certificates.

XML

<endpoint address="https://www.example.com; binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="examle" contract="example" name="example1">
       <identity>
         <certificateReference storeName="TrustedPublisher" storeLocation="CurrentUser" x509FindType="FindByThumbprint" findValue="1s 13c 32ce .." isChainIncluded="true" />
       </identity>
     </endpoint>

I'm no expert in certificates, but one of google[^]'s first results is the MSDN entry[^] for it. It says isChainIncluded is "A Boolean value that specifies if the validation is done using a certificate chain."

I wasn't sure what exactly they meant by certificate chain. So I googled[^] that too. First result[^] is an IBM explaination with a nice diagram.

Hope this helps.
