sslstream and certificates

This is a question about partly .net sslStreams and partly about the
certificates it uses.
I can't seem to find a more specific group.. and since i am coding in c# :-)

I try creating a sslStream from a regular networkstream as folows

Socket clientSocket = serverSocket.En dAccept(result) ;
clientSocket.Bl ocking = true;
Stream clientStream = new NetworkStream(c lientSocket);
SslStream sslStream = new SslStream(clien tStream);
X509Certificate cert =
X509Certificate .CreateFromCert File(@"c:\mycer tificate.crt");
sslStream.Authe nticateAsServer (cert);

The call to AuthenticateAsS erver fails with "The server mode SSL must use a
certificate with the associated private key"

What exactly should i put into that message? It needs another kind of
certificate with the private key embedded?
I do have a keyfile on the side with one of my certificates, but I can not
specify it anywhere.
Another certificate , I am testing with, is from rapidSSL a CA so I assume
it should be "right".

Has someone else tried setting up a sslStream as server?

What I am working on is a http server for a program that needs to provide a
web interface. I would very much like to have it running though SSL. Note
that this is ofcourse not an asp application but regular winforms.

Hey, I am currently attempting to implement a multi-threaded C# socket, using SSL (.pem file/certification/private key combo) server using Visual Studio C# Express. I have successfully made the client application establish a connection, and send data, which appears in plain, de-crypted text on the server - this works.

We've been using the SSLStream class found in System.Net.Security to build a giant Sockets server that provides TLS encryption at the channel leve. Before .Net 2.0, we used an open-source encryption channel from Mentalis, and have even looked at the Mono implementation for doing this. The problem comes from the SSLStream not doing any buffer management. None. Zero. In the "no buffer management" case, each SSLStream allocates bufferes...

I am using SSLStream to send data between the client and server. From the client, 1) I am looking for a way to turn off the Encryption. In SSLStream, there is a READ-ONLY Encryption property. How can I set it off? 2) I am looking for a way to control the encryption algorithms sents by the SSLStream client to the server during the SSL handshake.
