The SSL settings for the service 'SslRequireCert' does not match those of the IIS 'None'.

Question

hello all,
I have a WCF service running on Windows Azure, with SSL and require Certificate Authentication. (server config is as below)
After I deployed it into Azure, it returns me an error said "The SSL settings for the service 'SslRequireCert' does not match those of the IIS 'None'."
In IIS, I know there is a setting to enable SSLRequireCert.
But, in Azure , how do I change this option?

Thanks,
Leo

You have to require SSL for the WCF endpoint using standard IIS configuration (system.webServer/security/access). You also need to unlock the section. see here: http://www.leastprivilege.com/UnlockingTheSSLSectionInWindowsAzureWebRoles.aspx

Could you give more details on this? Do I run the command line on my local system? What do I do after running the command line?
