Applying certificates on web service

Ralph Jones

Hi
I just wrote my first web service and now I want to enable security for both server and client. That's why I decided to use X509- Certificates on both server and client, so that every data that is send/received between both is encrypted and signed to keep hackers away
Now, the problem is, that I haven't found a way to 'add' a certificate to my web service object (in VB.NET). The class NetworkCredentials does not seem to support this (or am I wrong?). So, can anyone tell me how I can add certificates to my web service and its client

Thanks a lo
Ralph Jones

Ralph,
Have you already covered the X509 configuration instructions as they are
explained in the WSE 2.0 docs?

HttpWebClientProtocol.ClientCertificates is the place to add your client
certificate. You visit web service through https: , IIS will take care of
SSL encryption/decrption automatically. So, you do not need to worry about
certificate at the server side.
