I'm trying to create a wcf service which does basic authentication, but i'm having some troubles.
Here's what my web.config for the service looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<client />
<services>
<service name="Service.DataExchangeService" behaviorConfiguration="MyBehavior">
<endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="wsDataImportEndpoint" contract="Service.IDataExchangeService">
<identity>
<dns value="localhost" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="http://localhost:8732/Design_Time_Addresses/DataExchange.Server.Service/Service1/" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>
</service>
</services>
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="wsDataImportEndpoint" maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647"
maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="2147483647"
maxArrayLength="16384" maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="Basic"/>
<message clientCredentialType="UserName" negotiateServiceCredential="true" />
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="MyBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
<serviceCredentials>
<userNameAuthentication customUserNamePasswordValidatorType="DataExchange.Server.Service.UserNameValidator, DataExchange.Server.Service"
userNamePasswordValidationMode="Custom" />
</serviceCredentials>
</behavior>
<behavior name="">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
</system.serviceModel>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="ApplicationServices" connectionString="data source=sharept07\mssqlserver2008;initial catalog=VOS.Membership;integrated security=True;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
<add name="ROSEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/ROSModel.csdl|res://*/ROSModel.ssdl|res://*/ROSModel.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="data source=sharept07\MSSQLServer2008;initial catalog=VOS;integrated security=True;multipleactiveresultsets=True;App=EntityFramework"" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
</connectionStrings>
</configuration>
and here's what my client config file looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="WSHttpBinding_IDataExchangeService" closeTimeout="00:01:00"
openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"
bypassProxyOnLocal="false" transactionFlow="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647"
messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" useDefaultWebProxy="true"
allowCookies="false">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384"
maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
<reliableSession ordered="true" inactivityTimeout="00:10:00"
enabled="false" />
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="Basic" proxyCredentialType="None"
realm="" />
<message clientCredentialType="UserName" negotiateServiceCredential="true" />
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="https://server.com:446/DataExchangeService/DataExchangeService.svc"
binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="WSHttpBinding_IDataExchangeService"
contract="DataExchangeSvc.IDataExchangeService" name="WSHttpBinding_IDataExchangeService">
<identity>
<dns value="localhost" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
and here's how i'm calling the service within my client:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (var client = new DataExchangeSvc.DataExchangeServiceClient())
{
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "test";
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "test";
var data = client.RetrieveData();
}
}
When i set the the transport mode to "None" within security node in the Service config file the above works perfectly if i omit the credential lines, but the moment i change it to Basic i keep getting this error:
There was no endpoint listening at https://server.com:446/DataExchangeService/DataExchangeService.svc that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.
I don't really know what's going on so if anyone can guide me in any way that would be extremely helpful.
Thanks
I think what you really want here is to use TransportWithMessageCredential
instead of just Transport
. Just using <security mode="Transport">
will get your service going over HTTPS but has nothing to do with using credentials for authentication. If you use <security mode="TransportWithMessageCredential">
you can use HTTPS and have username and password. Here is an MSDN article about this.
EDIT
If you really do just want to use Transport
, take out the <message>
node from your service config.
