Here is the contract and service implementation

public interface ICalculatorService

Answer 1

Another reason for this is the certificate itself on the server you are hitting. Ensure you have imported the PRIVATE KEY. In MMC this will show up with a "Friendly Name". This took me days to figure out. Once I imported the private key the Anonymous error went away and all was well!
