  ServiceCertificate Tag in WCF specifies the details like where the certificate is stored, location, and how the WCF application should find it.

  The primary use of certificate in WCF is to provide client authentication and message security.

  Refer these articles on how to create it for WCF.

  But When I Run my client, prompts me with below error:

  "The caller was not authenticated by the service.
