WCF error: Cannot find a token authenticator

Question

i need to consume WCF service over SSL while the request needs to be sign with one certificate and the response needs to be validated with another certificate.

i get this error while executing the code:

Cannot find a token authenticator for the 'System.IdentityModel.Tokens.X509SecurityToken' token type. Tokens of that type cannot be accepted according to current security settings.

according to WCF tracing it fails while trying to validate the response signature, because i can see the response from the server.

here's my WCF service settings:

<system.serviceModel>
  <diagnostics>
    <messageLogging logEntireMessage="true" logKnownPii="true" logMalformedMessages="true"
      logMessagesAtServiceLevel="true" logMessagesAtTransportLevel="true" />
    <endToEndTracing propagateActivity="true" activityTracing="true"
      messageFlowTracing="true" />

    </client>
</system.serviceModel>

as you can see, i tried both basicHttpBinding and customBinding (converted with the online tool http://webservices20.cloudapp.net/default.aspx), i tried to set different variations of settings combinations but still get this error.

any idea? canceling response certificate signing validation is also an option, but how do i set it??
