Hi Gary,
As other members mentioned, if possible, we would always recommend you take
a look at WCF as that has been the current well equiped distribute
communication component.
For WSE 3.0, there are some article introducing how to use X509 certificate
for message secure(message layer security):
#Implementing Message Layer Security with X.509 Certificates in WSE 3.0
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa480581.aspx
#<x509Element
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa529251.aspx
In addition, I've also suggested you have a look at the samples in the WSE
3.0 sdk, that will give you a more clear view on how to configure a X509
service client and server.

Steven Cheng

Subject: x.509 Certificates - one more time
Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2008 17:13:08 -0700
>
I posted an earlier message on this subject and received links to some old
1.1 docs that didn't do any good. Since then I fouund a book on WSE 3.0
that tells, in some detail, how to develop a web service client where
x.509
>certificates are used.
I'm using the book "Web Service Security - patterns and practices" from
microsoft. (also available free as a pdf MS_WSS_Dec.pdf) On page 141 they
tell how to develop a Web Service Client using x.509. They do a very good
job of showing how to access the certificate store that all results in a
wse3policyCache.config file. Then they say the next step is "The client
signs the message using it's private key" - but they never show how to do
that.
Then, the following step is "The Client encrypts the message using the
service's public key" - but they never show how to do that either?
Can anyone help me out with this? I'm finding almost nothing on this
issue.
>Is no one really using x.509 certs?
Thanks,
Gary
