Self signed certificate

Has anyone managed to get WCF comms working using a self signed certificate? I have added my .cer to various certificate stores (Personl, Trusted People on local machine and current user), but all I ever get is the error below:

The X.509 certificate CN=MyCertificate chain building failed. The certificate that was used has a trust chain that cannot be verified. Replace the certificate or change the certificateValidationMode. A certificate chain could not be built to a trusted root authority.

I can find no way in a Windows Store App to actually set the certificateValidationMode.

Thanks,

You need to add the self signed cert to your app package:
