Client Certificate with IIS 7

I have a client who wants to secure a connection to his application using a client certificate. He does not want to match the certificate with the login.

He does not want to buy a certificate from a trusted CA and wants me to provide him with my own self-signed certificate.

I followed the steps from this article: http://asoftwaredeveloper.wordpress.com/2011/12/30/x-509-certificate/ (every time I search on Google I end up with this)

I managed to create two certificates and install them both on the client and on the server.

However, I still get the same 403.7 error.

Does anyone have a real step-by-step guide with ALL the steps? Am I the only one who wants to do such a simple thing? Why is this not described in the documentation?
