Attributes and Elements

The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements.

Attributes

Attribute	Description
`checkCertificateName`	Specifies whether the system should verify that the name on the certificate matches the server host name before using the certificate. The default value is `true`.
`checkCertificateRevocationList`	Specifies whether the system should check whether the certificate has been revoked before using the certificate. The default value is `false`.

The possible values are equivalent to the values for the EncryptionPolicy enumeration. The use of Null is required when the encryption policy is set to `NoEncryption`. The default value is `RequireEncryption`.
`expect100Continue`	Specifies whether POST methods should expect to receive a `100-continue` response from the server. The default value is `true`.
