title: REST Service - SSL Implementation (HTTP Error 403.7 - Forbidden)
body: <p>In order to secure my Rest Services, I have enabled SSL in IIS and Created a Self-Signed Certificate and assigned it to the HTTPS binding in IIS. I exported the same as pfx file and added the same in IE also but when I try to access the Services, I get the following error on Windows 7, Enterprise edition</p>
  
  <p>HTTP Error 403.7 - Forbidden
  The page you are attempting to access requires your browser to have a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) client certificate that the Web server recognizes.</p>
  
  <p>And on Windows Server 2003, this is</p>
  
  <p>HTTP Error 403.7 - Forbidden: SSL client certificate is required.
  Internet Information Services (IIS)</p>
  
  <p>I am not sure what shall I do except adding the certificate in IE under “Personal” and “Trusted Root Certification Authorities”? Could you please suggest me some step, in order to make this work.</p>
  
  <p>Note: I have tried with “Self-Signed Certificates” as well as with Certificates generated from Microsoft “Certificate Services” also.</p>
  
  <p>Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>
