    Can't help without the code that throws this exception. – PhonicUK Nov 06 '12 at 11:44
  • The Acs SAML secure service, successfully running on Azure.. But i need to work in IIS as well. So i want change anything in IIS server settings? like the account may be missing some permissions? – user10489 Nov 06 '12 at 11:53
  • If this isn't occurring in code you've written then you're posting in the wrong place. If it is in code you've written, you'll need to post some source for anyone to be able to help. – PhonicUK Nov 06 '12 at 11:58

    What is the version of IIS you are using? did you allow permission for the App Pool Identity to access the certificate in the certificate store? or if its a physical path, ensure the app pool identity has enough permission to read the certificate file. – Ramesh Nov 06 '12 at 12:22
  • @Ramesh:I am using IIS6.0 and windows server2008 R2....How can i allow permission for the APP Pool identity to access the certificate? please give me any link. – user10489 Nov 06 '12 at 12:35
  • I believe Windows server 2008 R2 comes with IIS 7.5. Anyways is the certificate file stored in the hard disk or in certificate store? – Ramesh Nov 06 '12 at 12:41
  • @Ramesh: The certificates stored under the bin folder in IIS web-root. If i call the same web service on Azure, it seems to work. But when i call the same service in IIS, its not working. – user10489 Nov 08 '12 at 10:19
