In a web application, I have a WCF service uses Client Certificate authentication. I checked "Accept Client Certificate" in IIS - SSL Settings and it works fine. But some times, in some browsers, if a certificate is installed on the client machine, the browser is prompting a message to choose the certificate it wants to provide to the server which is not a desired behavior since only the web service needs the certificate - not the web application!.

How can I handle it without creating an independent web project for the web service on IIS?

From the comments it turned out, your service consisted of a few specific files, but you set the Accept Client Certificate setting for the whole application.

Use the settings on just the files (or folder) for your service, not on the application level.
