I am developing a client application in C#, which will be communicating to webService hosted on secured server. This client application will be deployed on different machines. For the authentication purpose, I would like to use client certificate. Would like to know if I can use common client certificate on all the machines or do I need to use unique client certificate?

Thanks
Nitin

Why wouldn't you publish this as a formal answer. It looks perfectly logical.
