Exception in configuring Transport Security in Self Hosted Service using NetTcpBinding in WCF

This is the configuration on the service side:

<endpoint binding="netTcpBinding" bindingConfiguration="TcpBinding" contract="a"></endpoint>
<binding name="TcpBinding">
  <security mode="Transport">
    <transport protectionLevel="EncryptAndSign" clientCredentialType="None">
    </transport>
  </security>
  <reliableSession enabled="false"/>
</binding>

<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior>
  <serviceCredentials>
    <serviceCertificate  storeName="My" storeLocation="LocalMachine" findValue="73 b9 d8 98 8d b6 54 bf fb ff 21 0b ac fc 04 19 37 16 71 5f" x509FindType="FindByThumbprint" />
  </serviceCredentials>
  <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="false"/>
  <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>

I have created a self signed certificate following this link: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff648498.aspx

First I created a Certificate that I installed as Root Certificate Authority in Trusted Root Certification Authorities - named 'RootCA'. Then, I created another self signed certificate signed with this 'RootCA' which is issued to 'localhost'.

On the client side, I am using the same configuration elements as on service side. While opening the proxy, I am receiving the following exception:

System.ServiceModel.Security.SecurityNegotiationException The X.509 certificate CN=localhost chain building failed. The certificate that was used has a trust chain that cannot be verified. Replace the certificate or change the certificateValidationMode. The revocation function was unable to check revocation for the certificate.

What else is needed to make this running?

include this in your client side in endpoint behaviours

    <endpointBehaviors>
          <behavior name="clientBehave">
            <clientCredentials>
               <serviceCertificate>              
<authentication certificateValidationMode="PeerOrChainTrust" revocationMode="NoCheck"/>
              </serviceCertificate>
            </clientCredentials>
          </behavior>
        </endpointBehaviors>
