Sharepoint 2013 call WCF service from web client

Open original thread
Hi,

I have a question about SharePoint 2013. I would like to host a WCF service in SharePoint and of course I would like to call these  methods through a web client.

Idea:
There is a SharePoint 2013 WCF service, which available via HTTPS connection. I would like to call the service methods with REST. The client is a web client, which is a simple .aspx, and .cs file as behind code. I would like to create the connections between them with a self-signed certificate. When I run the client app, after pressing a button the result would be appear in the screen as a simple string format.

What I’ve achieved:
I’ve created a service and in the web browser(Internet Explorer) I’m able to call the .svc service, and the browser also shows me the following message: You have created a service.
So that is okay.
The web client I’ve referred the service successfully and it can see the methods of the service that I could call. This web client is not deployed, only available when I start it through Visual Studio 2015.
I could create self-signed certificate (in IIS) also. I set the binding in IIS ont he SharePoitn site and I put there a HTTPS binding with 443 protocoll using the certificate that I’ve created earlier.
The private key installed to the computer and the client senses the certificate correctly(in debug mode).

Problem:
When  I configured the WCF service and the web client, I set the clientCredetialType to Certificate and I could check in debug mode where the client senses correctly the certificate, but I get always the following error message: Could not establish secure channel for SSL/TLS with authority 'devsp01.dev.local'.
The client runs and the problem occurs when I press the button and the running app reaches the following line: Response.Write(serRef.PrintMyText());

I’ve tried to search for a solution to my problem, but I didn’t find any useful tip.
Does anyone know a solution or tip to my problem?

I’ve tried the same experiment to call the service method without certificate, but the next message appears: The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous'. The authentication header received from the server was 'NTLM,Basic realm="devsp01.dev.local"'.
But I’ve tried to do this with the binding in IIS where I didn’t remove the previously mentioned HTTPS binding.
Also does anyone know why I get the error message when I try the same without certificate? I feel I’m close to the working solution, but I don’t know why these error occurs exactly and what to do in these situations.

Every tip would be helpful.
Thank you!
