I have a WCF web service running in IIS 7 using a self-signed certificate (it's a proof of concept to make sure this is the route I want to go). It's required to use SSL.

Is it possible to use the WCF Test Client to debug this service without needing a non-self-signed certificate?

When I try I get this error:
