Remove WCF security - wcf

Question

I haven't worked with WCF much. And as fast as it came, it passed me by and I was on to webmethods and api stuff. So I'm tasked with removing WCF Security from this old service. There are so many settings in the config, that I'm a little miffed. I really don't have time to revisit old tech at the moment and would like a quick solution to just disable the security requirement. Is it as simple as setting security mode = "None"?

Answer 1

Security mode in WCF cannot be started or turned off with one click.
Here are a few things you can look for to try setting safe mode:
Change the security mode.
Set the ClientCredentialType Property.
Change TransportWithMessageCredential.
The first two items are in your code and you can change them. You can also follow this document for further information
