WCF : Key set does not exist



Recently i was working on installation of certificates for creating the a development environment for WCF using SSL. After creating the certificate and installing i came across the error like

"Key set does not exist"

Root Cause : The ASPNET and Network Services does not have access to the folder where the certificates are stored.

Resolution : Give access to ASPNET and Network Services accounts to the "MachineKeys" folder in "Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA" of the root drive.




This would resolve the issue . Happy Coding :)
