Title Body

After a brutal struggle with WCF Security, I think I'm at the final stage now and can see the light. I've got a Client certificate installed on my server, and is now, as advised, in the Trusted People folder of the certificate store. However, when I try and read the certificate application -> service, I get this error: Cannot find the X.509 certificate using the following search criteria: StoreName 'My', StoreLocation 'CurrentUser', FindType 'FindBySubjectName', FindValue 'Forename Surname'. With the "Forename Surname" being the "Issued to" part of my certificate. In all tutorials I have seen, this is just one word; is this the problem? I received my certificate from my CA with these two words, with a space. Anyone ever come across this, is there something I'm blatantly doing wrong? Update, cert can be seen here: Update: It gets even more strange: I installed Visual Studio on my web server, and used the following code to pick up the cert by Thumbprint: var store = new X509Store(StoreName.TrustedPeople, StoreLocation.CurrentUser); store.Open(OpenFlags.ReadOnly); var certs = store.Certificates.Find(X509FindType.FindByThumbprint, "71995159BFF803D25BFB691DEF7AF625D4EE6DFB", false); This actually RETURNS a valid result. When I put this information into the web.config of my service/client though, I still get the error.
