Creates client-side SSL credentials loaded from
disk file pointed to by the GRPC_DEFAULT_SSL_ROOTS_FILE_PATH environment variable.
If that fails, gets the roots certificates from a well known place on disk.
SslCredentials(string)
public SslCredentials(string rootCertificates)
Creates client-side SSL credentials from
a string containing PEM encoded root certificates.
public override void InternalPopulateConfiguration(ChannelCredentialsConfiguratorBase configurator, object state)
Populates channel credentials configurator with this instance's configuration.
End users never need to invoke this method as it is part of internal implementation.
