Calling Webservice over SSL w/Client Certificate from aspx

[Sunil]

Hello Gurus,
Trying to consume a webservice through aspx page over SSL with Client
Certificate and getting below error.

System.Net.WebException: The request failed with HTTP status 403: Access
Forbidden. at
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.ReadResponse(SoapClient
Message message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream, Boolean
asyncCall) at
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String
methodName, Object[] parameters)

Am able to consume the same webservice using console application. Am I doing
something wrong.
Here is the sample code which is working fine using console application
---------------------------------
Dim ws As New ws.getData()
Dim nFormat As Integer = 0
ws.Url = "https://securesite/webservice.asmx"
Dim cert As X509Certificate =
X509Certificate.CreateFromCertFile("c:\sendCert.cer")
ws.ClientCertificates.Add(cert)
ws.GetNumber("string", nFormat)

Hi

Does your ASP.NET account (or the user account that asp.net uses) has access
to the c:\sendCert.cer file? Probably you've got to give this account
explicit rights to this file/folder.

Jan,

Even tried to give explicit permission for asp.net to access this file. but
still gives the error. This is really bugging me. please let me know
anything else need to be done. Thanks in advance for your time. I am using
<identity impersonate="true" /> in the web.config file.

Is there any way I can debug this problem or to know why is it giving error.

You can set a breakpoint in your webservice, start it in debug mode and try
to connect to the webservice from your client application. You should hit
the breakpoint so you can step through the code.

Let me know if you could step through the code, if not we should search
further.

Hi Jan,
I am able to debug the code. Let me know what do you want me to do next.
Thanks for you time.

Can you check which line throws the exception?

You are probably debugging your client application, you should try if you
can hit a breakpoint in your webservice:
