SOAP Toolkit FAQ - Why don't my Client Certificates work?

A common problem with Client Certificates is that there are multiple names in a certificate—the Friendly name and the Subject Name. The Subject name is the one to use when specifying the client certificate in the Soap Client. To find the subject name, use IE to navigate to IE/Tools/Internet Options/Content, and click the certificates button. The name to use is in the "Issued To" column. This name is often an X.500 name. If so, the CN is the part of the name that's required. See the Soap security article at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/Dnsoap/html/Soapsecurity.asp?frame=true for more information.
