I just ran across a really nice article describing how to create a self hosted WCF service using HTTPS bindings. It's a nice step-by-step instruction on how to create your own certificates, adding them to your store, configuring the Windows HTTP runtime, and configuring your WCF service. You can find the article on CodeProject at this url: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WCF/WCFSSL.aspx. Really nice article, helped me a lot. Kudos to Chris.
Also, Steve Johnson created a nice little GUI for the httpcfg command line tool, which you can find here: http://www.stevestechspot.com/ABetterHttpcfg.aspx. It's a nice addition to the article, so you are not completely bound to the console :-)
