Invoking a web service with WS Security from .NET

Question

I need to consume a web service secured with WS-Security from ASP.NET.

I'm testing the service with SoapUI, being the envelop request:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:web="http://aduana.gov.py/webservices">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <web:agregarGuia>
         <!--Optional:-->
         <guia>?</guia>
         <!--Optional:-->
         <autenticacion>
            <!--Optional:-->
            <codAduana>?</codAduana>
            <!--Optional:-->
            <firmaWSAA>?</firmaWSAA>
            <!--Optional:-->
            <idUsuario>?</idUsuario>
            <!--Optional:-->
            <ticketWSAA>?</ticketWSAA>
         </autenticacion>
      </web:agregarGuia>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

And the response I get is:

<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <env:Header/>
   <env:Body>
      <env:Fault>
         <faultcode>env:Server</faultcode>
         <faultstring>org.jboss.ws.core.CommonSOAPFaultException: This service requires &lt;wsse:Security>, which is missing.</faultstring>
      </env:Fault>
   </env:Body>
</env:Envelope>

So I contacted the service provider and they told me that the use of WS-Security is mandatory to invoke the service. Therefore, the SOAP message sent to the server must be digitally signed with my certificate.

The problem is I don't know how to do that. So far I added a Service Reference and I'm passing the mentioned certificate in code:

var srvRef = new DnaSoapClient(); 
srvRef.ClientCredentials.ClientCertificate.Certificate = theCert;
var response = srvRef.agregarManifiesto( dnaManifiesto );

I have googled around and some folks recommend WCF. I'm building an ASP.NET 4.5 application. What are my options with this scenario? I need to know how to sign the message using my certificate.

EDIT 1: I was able to advance the issue, now I can send the SOAP message signed with the certificate and I'm close to finish my task. Now I fail in setting the correct elements in Security tag, I edited the question to show both envelope, the correct one and mine.

Correct: this is an sample envelope for a correct request

Answer 1

I managed to get this working i post the solution here for others. To summarize, the task at hand was to consume a web service written in java with ws-security features. Let me clarify that this should be a easy task if the web service developer consciously write a good wsdl and/or they are collaborative people. Unfortunately they are not any. If you are in this case you have to be armed with SoapUI and Fiddler to take the service by your self. The first thing is with SoapUI get the Soap version that the service use, that will define the type of binding you can use, in my case it was Soap 1.1 and in convination with ws-security force me to use customBinding because wsHttpBinding only support Soap 1.2 and basicBinding is not that flexible to consume a WS-Security enabled service.
After sessions of tests-errors and a lot of Fiddler to read the server responses i finally came out with the following binding. All done by configuration, no code involved:

  <system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>

        <binding name="MyBinding" >          
      <textMessageEncoding messageVersion="Soap11"/>
      <security authenticationMode="MutualCertificate" enableUnsecuredResponse="true" allowSerializedSigningTokenOnReply="true"
                messageSecurityVersion="WSSecurity10WSTrustFebruary2005WSSecureConversationFebruary2005WSSecurityPolicy11BasicSecurityProfile10"
                includeTimestamp="false">
      </security>
      <httpsTransport />
        </binding>

      </customBinding>


    </bindings>
    <behaviors>
      <endpointBehaviors>
        <behavior name="ClientCertificateBehavior">
          <clientCredentials>
            <clientCertificate findValue="xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx"
                               storeLocation="CurrentUser" storeName="My" 
                               x509FindType="FindByThumbprint" />

            <serviceCertificate>
              <defaultCertificate findValue="xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx" 
                                  storeLocation="CurrentUser" storeName="My"
                                  x509FindType="FindByThumbprint"/>
              <authentication certificateValidationMode="None" />
            </serviceCertificate> 
          </clientCredentials>

        </behavior>

      </endpointBehaviors>

    </behaviors>
    <client>

      <endpoint address="https://secure.aduana.gov.py/test/tere/serviciotere"
        binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="MyBinding"
        contract="serviciotereSoap" name="serviciotereSoap"  behaviorConfiguration="ClientCertificateBehavior">
        <identity>
          <dns value="tere_test"/>
        </identity> 
      </endpoint>

    </client>
  </system.serviceModel>

. Replace xx with your certificates Thumbprint hex values) . Resources that helped me sort the differents issues: this and here
