With C#, WCF SOAP consumer that uses WSSE plain text authentication?

I have a WCF SOAP consumer that is implemented by Visual Studio 2012 from a WSDL. The WSDL was generated by PeopleTools. The base object is of type System.ServiceModel.ClientBase.

I need the SOAP request to resemble:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:sch="http://xmlns.oracle.com/Enterprise/Tools/schemas">
    <soapenv:Header>
        <wsse:Security soap:mustUnderstand="1" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
            <wsse:UsernameToken>
                <wsse:Username>[plain text username goes here]</wsse:Username>
                <wsse:Password>[plain text password goes here]</wsse:Password>
            </wsse:UsernameToken>
        </wsse:Security>
    </soapenv:Header>
    <soapenv:Body>
        <sch:InputParameters>
            <Last_Name>Aren</Last_Name>
            <First_Name>Cambre</First_Name>
        </sch:InputParameters>
    </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Here's the closest we can get:

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing">
    <s:Header>
        <a:Action s:mustUnderstand="1">http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/02/trust/RST/Issue</a:Action>
        <a:MessageID>urn:uuid:3cc3f2ca-c647-466c-b38b-f2423462c837</a:MessageID>
        <a:ReplyTo>
            <a:Address>http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/anonymous</a:Address>
        </a:ReplyTo>
        <a:To s:mustUnderstand="1">http://[internal URL to soap listener]</a:To>
    </s:Header>
    <s:Body>
        <t:RequestSecurityToken Context="uuid-7db82975-2b22-4236-94a1-b3344a0bf04d-1" xmlns:t="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/02/trust">
            <t:TokenType>http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/02/sc/sct</t:TokenType>
            <t:RequestType>http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/02/trust/Issue</t:RequestType>
            <t:KeySize>256</t:KeySize>
            <t:BinaryExchange ValueType=" http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/02/trust/tlsnego" EncodingType="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-soap-message-security-1.0#Base64Binary">FgMBAFoBAABWAwFQ9IhUFGUO6tCH+0baQ0n/3us//MMXzQA78Udm4xFj5gAAGAAvADUABQAKwBPAFMAJwAoAMgA4ABMABAEAABX/AQABAAAKAAYABAAXABgACwACAQA=</t:BinaryExchange>
        </t:RequestSecurityToken>
    </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

You'll notice two problems:

  • No plaintext WSSE credentials. Passes a binary form of the credentials that the service won't use.
  • Authentication is in Body, not Header.
  • The request omits InputParameters.

Here's the essential C# code:

var service = new ServiceWithBizarreNameFromPeoplesoft();

if (service.ClientCredentials == null)
   throw new NullReferenceException();
service.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "test";
service.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "password";

var binding = new WSHttpBinding(SecurityMode.TransportWithMessageCredential) {Security = new WSHttpSecurity()};
service.Endpoint.Binding = binding;

binding.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.None;
binding.Security.Message.ClientCredentialType = MessageCredentialType.UserName;
binding.Security.Mode = SecurityMode.Message;

var input = new InputParameters { Last_Name = "Cambre", First_Name = "Aren" };

var returnData = service.BizarrePeopleSoftNameForMethod(input);

There's no HTTP layer security, and transport is SSL-encrypted. Authentication is only based on the SOAP message.

That is request for WS-SecureConversation token. It is used by WSHttpSecurity by default unless you change its EstablishSecurityContext property to false. Use this binding instead:

var binding = new BasicHttpBinding(BasicHttpSecurityMode.TransportWithMessageCredential);    
binding.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.None;
binding.Security.Message.ClientCredentialType = BasicHttpMessageCredentialType.UserName;

It will use SOAP 1.1 with UserName token and it will require HTTPS transport.

Edit:

For testing without HTTPS try to use this custom binding:

var securityElement = SecurityBindingElement.CreateUserNameOverTransportBindingElement();
securityElement.AllowInsecureTransport = true;

var encodingElement = new TextMessageEncodingBindingElement(MessageVersion.Soap11, Encoding.UTF8);
var transportElement = new HttpTransportBindingElement();

var binding = new CustomBinding(securityElement, encodingElement, transportElement);
