HTTPS on basicHttpBinding for WCF Service

Question

I am using IIS 7. HTTPS binding is enabled on it with port number 443. I have a WCF service as an application under the website. I am trying to introduce HTTPS security to service (with basicHttpBinding) based on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms729700.aspx

I am getting the following error – “The provided URI scheme 'https' is invalid; expected 'http'.”. When I checked the event log it has the stack trace as follows:

Stack Trace :    at System.ServiceModel.Channels.TransportChannelFactory`1.ValidateScheme(Uri via)

at System.ServiceModel.Channels.HttpChannelFactory.ValidateCreateChannelParameters(EndpointAddress remoteAddress, Uri via)

What is the change required to make it working on HTTPS with basicHttpBinding?

Note: Certificate is created using "Create Self Signed Certificate" in IIS 7.

You need to change:

<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />

to:

<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true" />
