Request client certificate by site on Azure

I deployed my MVC 4 application on Azure, installed own CA, create self-signed certificate and certificate for server (https working good). How can I activate require client certificates signed by my CA and working only with it?

I need this on Azure

The two viable options you have, you already described in your comments.

One is to use Azure VM and IIS (I don't like it) - there you know what to do.

The other one is to use a Web Role (Cloud Service) and do the things described in the link you refer to. I advise you to take the Web Role path.

Or third option, is to wait until (if ever) Windows Azure Web Sites to unlock the required property in application host config. Check this SO question and it's answer on what you need to do in your web.config in order to achieve your goal. The catch is that access section under system.webServer/security is locked at application host config level, and can only be unlocked when you have Azure Web Role.

Just fyi, here is a list of overridable sections in your web.config when you use Azure Web Sites.
