I run a WCF on IIS 7 with a load balanced server configuration.

Everything works fine when we run it normally but when we try to turn on SSL everything stops working. I have tried all the different config settings in web.config like Transport and Message but nothing seems to be working.

Won’t even allow me to add the reference to the project and just comes back with a weird error about document types.

Everything works fine on our main webserver so I don’t think its a problem with the digital cert.

    I don’t know if you are using SSL acceleration on the load balancer to hold the certificate. If you are this might explain the error.

    We had a similar problem with our servers when we implemented load balancing. The problem is that the SSL Acceleration interferes with the way that WCF picks up the reference when you add a Service Reference.

    There is an article here that explains how to fix the problem. It has diagrams and stuff that as well.
