// Get a reference to the authentication object.
X509ClientCertificateAuthentication myAuthProperties =
    sh.Credentials.ClientCertificate.Authentication;

// Configure custom certificate validation.
myAuthProperties.CertificateValidationMode =
    X509CertificateValidationMode.Custom;
// Specify a custom certificate validator (not shown here) that inherits
// from the X509CertificateValidator class.
// creds.ClientCertificate.Authentication.CustomCertificateValidator =
//    new MyCertificateValidator();

' Create a service host.
Dim httpUri As New Uri("http://localhost/Calculator")
Dim sh As New ServiceHost(GetType(Calculator), httpUri)

' Get a reference to the authentication object.
Dim myAuthProperties As X509ClientCertificateAuthentication = _
sh.Credentials.ClientCertificate.Authentication

' Configure custom certificate validation.
myAuthProperties.CertificateValidationMode = X509CertificateValidationMode.Custom
' Specify a custom certificate validator (not shown here) that inherits 
' from the X509CertificateValidator class.
' creds.ClientCertificate.Authentication.CustomCertificateValidator = _
'    new MyCertificateValidator()

The property can also be set in a configuration file.

     <authentication certificateValidationMode='Custom' customCertificateValidatorType='Samples.MyCertificateValidator, Samples' />  
  </clientCertificate>  
</serviceCredentials>

Remarks

If the CertificateValidationMode property is set to Custom, you must set the CustomCertificateValidator property to a custom validator that inherits from the X509CertificateValidator class.
