What is the reason of certificate error on IE address bar?



Reason: there is problem with server cert.

For example, if server SSL cert is applied for mymachine.mydomain.com and you try to access the site using http://mymachine/myservice.svc, then the cert "issued to" does not match the host name. In this case, using http://mymachine.mydomain.com/myservice.svc will resolve the cert issue.

Another possiblity is that the root of the server cert is not installed in the client machine. Check your root and intermediate stores to see whether you need to install them.
