WCF with WSHttpBinding, Message Security, clientCredentialType = "UserName" Cerificate SelfHosted Issue

Question

I created a service in which I need a client to transfer credentials (username and password). This requires an X509 certificate, so I started developing problems with the self-signed using makecert.exe.

Since I'm so new to certificates, I see that this certificate was created in the IIS Server certificate section, I need my service for self-hosting later in the Windows service, for testing purposes I use the console host application and the simple winform application client.

So my question is: how do I deploy this certificate? I don't want to use IIS anyway, can I embed the certificate where I noticed that I can export the .pfx file inside the host for console / Windows? And How?

I submit my service and client configuration files to help me understand what I need.

Your certificates must be imported into the Windows certificate store on the computer that hosts your web service (for example, the "server") and (optionally) on the computer that uses your web service (that is, the "client" if it is another machine) .

Microsoft (MMC). -, . . , ( "" ) (.. " " ).
