WCF 2-way ssl not working

Question

I am a newbie to WCF. I have created a self hosted WCF server for the client is a java rest client. The communication between he client and the server should be mutually authenticated via ssl certificates at both ends. Therefore during communication, client needs to send the certificate. The client certificate needs to be custom validated on the server. I think the 1-way communication is happening fine but the server is not able to validate the client certificate. Actually the custom validator code is not executing itself.

In server traces, I see "configuration evaluation context not found" twice, guess there is some issue with the config file

My config file is as follows:

<configuration>
  <system.diagnostics>
    <sources>
      <source name="System.ServiceModel"
              switchValue="All, ActivityTracing"

      </service>
    </services>

                      maxSizeOfMessageToLog="2000">
      </messageLogging>
    </diagnostics>
  </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

I already went through 100s of article but not able to get the solution. Any suggestion would be helpful.

The details of exception from the XML is as follows. Please let me know in case I can get the error details from any other place.

Answer 1

The code that worked for me is as follows:

String port = 443;
String certificateSubject = "Mymachine";
String urlString = String.Format("https://{0}:{1}/",System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry("").HostName, port);
Uri httpUrl = new Uri(urlString);
ServiceHost host = new WebServiceHost(typeof(mynamespace.myclass), httpUrl);

WebHttpBinding wsBinding = new WebHttpBinding();
wsBinding.Security.Mode = WebHttpSecurityMode.Transport;
wsBinding.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.Certificate;

host.Credentials.ServiceCertificate.SetCertificate(
                                                    StoreLocation.LocalMachine,
                                                    StoreName.My,
                                                    X509FindType.FindBySubjectName,
                                                    certificateSubject);


host.Credentials.ClientCertificate.Authentication.CertificateValidationMode = X509CertificateValidationMode.Custom;
host.Credentials.ClientCertificate.Authentication.CustomCertificateValidator = new MyX509CertificateValidator();

host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(myinterface), wsBinding, httpUrl);
