How to set PipeSecurity of NamedPipeServerStream in .NET Core

Question

I'm porting a library from .NET Framework 4.6.1 to .NET Standard 2.0. In Framework, the NamedPipeServerStream constructor could take a PipeSecurity parameter, but that isn't an option in Core. How do you set the security of a NamedPipeServerStream in Core?

Net 6.0 has introduced NamedPipeServerStreamAcl Class.

You can use the Create method to create the stream with PipeSecurity...

using System.IO.Pipes;
using System.Security.AccessControl;
using System.Security.Principal;

if (!System.OperatingSystem.IsWindows())
    throw new PlatformNotSupportedException("Windows only");

SecurityIdentifier securityIdentifier = new SecurityIdentifier(
    WellKnownSidType.AuthenticatedUserSid, null);

PipeSecurity pipeSecurity = new PipeSecurity();
pipeSecurity.AddAccessRule(new PipeAccessRule(securityIdentifier,
    PipeAccessRights.ReadWrite | PipeAccessRights.CreateNewInstance,
    AccessControlType.Allow));

NamedPipeServerStream stream = NamedPipeServerStreamAcl.Create(
    "SecurityTestPipe", PipeDirection.InOut,
    NamedPipeServerStream.MaxAllowedServerInstances,
    PipeTransmissionMode.Byte, PipeOptions.Asynchronous, 0, 0, pipeSecurity);
