In case we are working with AMSX Web Service, all above points remains same.

1.        Integrated Mode.
2.       Enable Anonymous Auth (I need to test this, but we can try with Anonymous to keep both WCF and ASMX steps in sync).
3.       Add Client Cert Mapping on the Web Site.
4.       Add Authorization rule to deny Anonymous users.
