Unable to send client certificate to a web service

[ketan patil]

Not able to send client certificate to the web service. I am fetching x509certificate from the certificate store then adding the certificate to the web service object and trying to retrieve it on the web service end but clientcertificate.IsPresent is showing false. Here is the code for client side as well as server side.

/* client side code*/

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        X509Certificate2 cer = GetCertificate();
        localhost.Service1 ser = new localhost.Service1();
        ser.ClientCertificates.Add(cer);
        ser.CreateUser();
 
 
 
    }
 
    private static X509Certificate2 GetCertificate()
    {
        X509Certificate2 cert = new X509Certificate2();
        X509Store store = new X509Store("testCertStore", StoreLocation.CurrentUser);
        store.Open(OpenFlags.ReadOnly);
        X509Certificate2Collection certCol = (X509Certificate2Collection)store.Certificates;
        foreach (X509Certificate2 x509 in certCol)
        {
            if (x509.SerialNumber == "23D91CD7E7114ABE4EEA208FB4868138")
            {
                cert = x509;
            }
        }
        return cert;
    }
 

/*server side code*/

X509Certificate2 cer = new X509Certificate2(Context.Request.ClientCertificate.Certificate);
 

Thanks in advance for the help
