I am working on a WCF service. It is hosted in IIS and secured by SSL. I am using custom biding with Soap11. I have a private key for this service and it is referenced in the web.config file. I have exported the public key from the private key and plan to give this public key to a vendor who will call this service.
When I try to test the service using a client. I am getting the below error. In my client I have referenced the public key. My client is sending the request to the service which is secured by the private key. I have checked the private key to make sure I have "you have a private key that correspond to this certificate. also, i have the IIS app pool running under my user name. I am the administrator in the computer.
However, when i try to send a request, I get the error "The private key is not present in the X.509 certificate." in the client. What could be causing this error?
