Setting up config files for WCF with SSL and certificates - wcf

Question

I'm trying to set up a WCF webservice in IIS 7 with SSL and I'm a bit lost with config files.
I want the data from the server to the client to be garbled (Is this enough with SSL?)
The client will also need to identity itself to the server through a certificate.
I have the following certificates in place:
dev.test.com - accessing the url https://dev.test.com/TestService.svc shows that there is this valid certificate in place.
TestServer - a dummy certificate that identifies the server (Do I need really need this? Or perhaps I can reuse the dev.test.com? Maybe have server.test.com?)
TestClient - a dummy certificate on the client side
And this is how my config files are set up:
Web.config (Server):
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="wsHttpEndpointBinding"
messageEncoding="Mtom">
<security mode="Message">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" />
<message clientCredentialType="Certificate" />
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<services>
<service

name="TestEndPoint"

</clientCertificate>
<serviceCertificate findValue="TestServer" storeLocation="LocalMachine"

</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="https://dev.test.com/TestService.svc"
behaviorConfiguration="TestServiceBehavior"
binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="wsHttpBinding"
contract="IContractName" name="wsHttpBinding">

<serviceCertificate>
<authentication
certificateValidationMode="PeerOrChainTrust"
revocationMode="NoCheck"
trustedStoreLocation="CurrentUser"/>
</serviceCertificate>
</clientCredentials>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
When I try to access the https://dev.test.com/TestService.svc, I get
Could not find a base address that matches scheme http for the endpoint with binding WSHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [https].
Anyway, I'm really lost with what config setting I should be using.

Answer 1

I believe for you to be able to use https, your security mode on the wsHttpBinding for the client needs to be either Transport or (probably in your case) TransportWithMessageCredential.
