Secure WMS over HTTPS

Question

Not sure how to format a secure wms in the Flex Viewer v. 2.5.

The layer tag in the config looks like this:

This error message pops up below.

Map Manager Message
layer failed to load: Fault code: Channel.Security.Error
Fault info: Security error accessing url
Fault details: Destination: DefaultHTTPS

I can connect to this wms in ArcCatalog.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Does it prompt for the client certificate in browsers other than IE?

At the bottom of this page is a workaround for IE that you could try adapting for your WMS server:

Has anyone out there figured out how to insert secured wms (AFW-WEBS) into the flexviewer? I can see the wms services from within ArcCatalog, however, the services don't display in the flexviewer. I am pretty sure this is due the wms security since a certificate is required in order to view the services. Initially on load of my flexviewer (on my server)  there is a prompt for certificate, however, the flexviewer doesn't prompt for a certificate on loading the secure wms. Is there a way to force trigger prompt for certificate when reading in the secure wms?

All attributes should be lowercase. See doc at:
