Hey All I am using WCF self host with transport security. I used the https for the metadata as well and have trusted trial certificates and i have done the following: <serviceCredentials> <serviceCertificate findValue="testcertificate" storeLocation="LocalMachine" storeName="My" x509FindType="FindBySubjectName" /> </serviceCredentials> but the problem is that i can not use testcertificate i get following warning when i try to add service refence: The security certificate for host 'testcertificate' does not match the name of the page you are trying to view. So what i thought was to have a test certificate named localhost and updates the certificate bindings using httpcfg. <serviceCredentials> <serviceCertificate findValue="localhost" storeLocation="LocalMachine" storeName="My" x509FindType="FindBySubjectName" /> </serviceCredentials> I get following error when i tried to update meta data: There was an error downloading 'https://localhost:8012/MyService'. The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send. Authentication failed because the remote party has closed the transport stream. Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'https:// localhost:8012/MyService'. An error occurred while making the HTTP request to https://localhost:8012/MyService. This could be due to the fact that the server certificate is not configured properly with HTTP.SYS in the HTTPS case. This could also be caused by a mismatch of the security binding between the client and the server. The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send. Authentication failed because the remote party has closed the transport stream. If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again. i tried various things on net but unsuccessful... plz help.... thanks sunny
I have the same problem. It worked with the cert I downloaded from indigogirl web site, but not work with one of my company test CA cert. I noticed that there was no private key for CA cert. Did you figure it out? Thanks, Helen
