Using Certificate Based Authentication to Consume a Windows Azure WCF Service from SharePoint 2010
The cloud security design ensures that a customer's data is only accessible by authorized entities.
In this lab, you will learn how to create a signing certificate and store it in the machine root and how to create self-signed client and server certificates and store them in the appropriate certificate stores.
Then you will create a Windows Azure hosted WCF service that authenticates users based on the certificates, and finally create a SharePoint Web Part application that reads the client's certificate store for a valid certificate to consume the Windows Azure service.
