I am in the process of hosting my WCF services in my asp.net hosting account and I want to use X509Certificate for authentication of communication. Where do I get a certificate in this instance? Make one and then Ftp it to my account? If yes, how do I reference this certificate for use. If No, how do I get one for use please? Do I need to purchase one or something?
