Had a wcf service running fine on my machine.

Moved it to a server and am now getting the above error.

I produced a test certificate on the server.

Heres my client config.

EDIT

Proxy initialisation is as follows but this is not where the error is being thrown...

InstanceContext context = new InstanceContext(new MyCallback());
            Configuration stockConfiguration = ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(new ExeConfigurationFileMap { ExeConfigFilename = @"C:\Users\Ash\Desktop\Config\app.config" }, ConfigurationUserLevel.None);

            ConfigurationDuplexChannelFactory<MessageHandlerClient.MessageService.IMessageHandlerServerChannel> stockChannelFactory = new ConfigurationDuplexChannelFactory<MessageHandlerClient.MessageService.IMessageHandlerServerChannel>(context, "WSDualHttpBinding_IMessageHandlerServer", null, stockConfiguration);
            stockChannelFactory.Credentials.UserName.UserName = "test";
            stockChannelFactory.Credentials.UserName.Password = "test";
            stockClient = stockChannelFactory.CreateChannel();

The error is being thrown when i make a call using the proxy eg

stockClient.messageToServerWithoutDirectReturn(moduleName, moduleType, methodName, inputs);

Please let me know if you need anymore information.

Kind Regards

Ash

Since you moved the client to another server and are using a new certificate you will need to update your identity/certificate node:

        <identity>
            <certificate encodedValue="..." />
        </identity>

It is probably still pointing to your client's identity store and certificate
