Hallo all =),

Im newbie by security in wcf..
I got exception : The request for security token could not be satisfied because authentication failed.

Hier ist code which running in server :

static void Main(string[] args)
{
        Uri address = new Uri("http://localhost:8080/Hello");
        WSHttpBinding binding = new WSHttpBinding();
         binding.Security.Mode = SecurityMode.Message;
         binding.Security.Message.ClientCredentialType = MessageCredentialType.Certificate;
         Type contract = typeof(Model.IHello);
         using (ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(HelloService)))
        {
                try
                {
                    host.AddServiceEndpoint(contract, binding, address);
                    host.Credentials.ServiceCertificate.SetCertificate(StoreLocation.CurrentUser,  StoreName.My, X509FindType.FindBySubjectName,"localhost");
                    host.Open();
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
                }
                Console.WriteLine("Return um Service zu beenden");
                Console.ReadLine();
            }
}

and hier ist code for client:

 static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            EndpointAddress address = new EndpointAddress("http://localhost:8080/Hello");
            WSHttpBinding binding = new WSHttpBinding();
            binding.Security.Mode = SecurityMode.Message;
            binding.Security.Message.ClientCredentialType = MessageCredentialType.Certificate;
            System.ServiceModel.ChannelFactory<IHello> cf = new ChannelFactory<IHello>(binding,address);
            cf.Credentials.ClientCertificate.SetCertificate(
                StoreLocation.CurrentUser,
                StoreName.My,
                X509FindType.FindBySubjectName,
                "WCFUser");
            cf.Credentials.ServiceCertificate.SetDefaultCertificate(
                StoreLocation.CurrentUser,
                StoreName.My,
                X509FindType.FindBySubjectName,
                "localhost");
            IHello proxy = cf.CreateChannel();
            string msg = proxy.SayHello("Putra");
            Console.WriteLine(msg);
            Console.ReadLine();
}

Server running, but when i try to start the client i get exception:
The request for security token could not be satisfied because authentication failed.
