\viewkind4\uc1\pard\lang2052\f0\fs20 Hi Russ,
\par
\par Welcome to Webservice newsgroup.
\par Regarding on the problem in custom WSE3.0 security policy assertion you mentioned, I think the it is likely cause by the following line of code:
\par
\par x509.Reset();
\par
\par
\par I saw you call it after the x509 token being added. Why did you call it? Based on my research, the X509Certificate2 class's Reset method will clear all the certificate related properties and set the m_safeCertContext internal field to InvalidHandle like:
\par
\par this.m_safeCertContext = SafeCertContextHandle.InvalidHandle;
\par
\par So I think you should comment that line of code so as to make sure the certifciate reference is still valid among the WSE policy assertion's processing lifecycle.
\par
\par Thanks,

\par Hi,
\par
\par I am just trying to set up a very simple filter to add x509 signature
\par elements to a soap envelope, but I am getting the following error, and was
\par wondering if someone might be able to point me in the right direction as to
\par what I'm doing wrong.
\par
\par Thanks in advance,
\par Russ
