I am trying to send SOAP message to endpoint starting with HTTPS. This is one way SSL, so I should not need certificate to send request.
While using the config from below I get following exception:
Could not establish secure channel for SSL/TLS with authority 'some.domain.com/endpoint'.
I tried many different transport settings, sometimes it asks for username or certification in ClientCredentials, but hey - I should not need them! I could visit the requested endpoint via browser window without any authentication.
Am I missing something in configuration? I feel a little confused right now.
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="PublisherBinding">
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" />
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="https://some.domain.com/endpoint"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="PublisherBinding"
contract="PublisherContract" name="NotificationsEndpoint"/>
</client>
unfortunately wcf test client does not support invalid certificates. you can make it work like this Is it possible to force the WCF test client to accept a self-signed certificate? or you can use wcfstorm. second solution is better.

I'm having some issue with authentication on a third party's WCF service. I don't know how it's configured, it's like a black box for me. The only thing that I know, that those webservice should use Basic authentication, but may not.
I've added fiddler, and even wireshark to analyze what's happening inside of those requests, and found out that requests with authorization header do get authenticated. So basically, using a SoapUI I was able to authenticate on those WCF service.
I've generated a test client using svcutil and specified config file like this:
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_1" useDefaultWebProxy="false" >
<security mode="Message" >
<message clientCredentialType="UserName" />
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="http://theurl.svc"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_1"
contract="CA_TestMediaSaturn.IDCIntegration" name="BasicHttpBinding_2" />
</client>
Also I've added authorization information to client in code file:
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "one";
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "two";
But I wasn't able to get those Authorization header encoded in base64.
I wonder how can I configure my client to obtain those header in order to get authorized on webservice side. I did found an article describing how to make it on your own. But maybe there is a way to make it a lot easier?
UPDATE 1:
I've just receiver service configuration settings from 3rd party vendor. Mb it can somehow help in finding out the reason of error.
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_1" >
<security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">
<message clientCredentialType="UserName"/>
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
you should set mode="Transport" instead of "Message". This will generate Authorization header. current setting is message security so authentication is inside SOAP.
EDIT: seems like you need pre-authenitcate.
in general wcf will first not send authorization header, and if the service returns a challenge to do it then it will send the message again with the header. some servers do not support this challenge mechanism and will require to send authorization header already at first shot. this is called pre authentication in .net 2. unfortunetely wcf does not support it. but you could do it yourself: first set security mode to None so WCF will not send security at all. then see example here how to add this header yourself to the wcf call.
I have a WPF application, and I'm using WCF to consume a php webservice over Https, I've created a self-singed certificate on the server to test it and configured the client to use this certificate, but an exception appeared and tell me that I need to pass the client certificate also.
Actually I just want to secure the transmitted message, I don't need to authenticate the client, so how could I disable the client authentication.
I'm using security model "Transport" with clientCredentialType "Certificate" and .Net 3.5.
thanks in advance for opinions..
UPDATE
As I've mentioned, I don't need the service to verify the identity of the client so I have used Transport Security with an Anonymous Client instead of Transport Security With Certificate Authentication, the following is the client configurations:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="bindingName" closeTimeout="00:0:04"
openTimeout="00:00:04" receiveTimeout="00:00:04" sendTimeout="00:00:04"
allowCookies="false" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8"
useDefaultWebProxy="true">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="2147483647" maxStringContentLength="2147483647">
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" proxyCredentialType="None" realm="" />
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="https://myServer/myApp/myWebService"
binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="bindingName"
contract="xx.yy" name="zz">
</endpoint>
</client>
Now the issue is: when I called the service a timeout error appears "The HTTP request to {My Service URL} has exceeded the allotted timeout".
Additional Info: The service worked fine over HTTP, the issues appear only when I moved to the HTTPS, and I can see the service WSDL if I open it through the internet browser, but the browse told me that there are insecure resources and I should enforce it to show me all resources in order to see the WSDL.
Probably your issue is:
// Create the endpoint address. Note that the machine name //
must match the subject or DNS field of the X.509 certificate //
used to authenticate the service.
So review your client config, and check certificate section findValue attribute to match you certificate's one.
Like
<clientCertificate findValue="contoso.com"
storeLocation="CurrentUser"
storeName="My"
x509FindType="FindBySubjectName" />

I'm a new member in this fantastic website and this is my first question here ..
I wish I can find the solution..
I'm building a website and I need to secure the communications between clients and the server.
I should Use WCF in the implementation.
My project's requirements :
use WCF
binding: ws2007HttpBinding
security: HTTPS
client: Sign
I should use HTTPS for securing the communications and I should make the client sign the message (it's important).
I install certificates in both server and Client But I don't knoe how to make the clients sign the message.
I can't use message security in the wcf because I need HTTPS. Anyone can help me to know what is the TransportWithMessageCredential do for signing and how to implement such a thing??
Here is part of the app.config of the server:
<bindings>
<ws2007HttpBinding>
<binding name="ServiceWS2007HttpBindingConfg">
<security mode="TransportWithMessageCredential">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" />
<message clientCredentialType="Certificate" negotiateServiceCredential="false" />
</security>
</binding>
</ws2007HttpBinding>
</bindings>
<services>
<service name="Service">
<endpoint address="https://MAHER-PC/EBPP/Service.svc" binding="ws2007HttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="ServiceWS2007HttpBindingConfg" contract="IService" />
</service>
</services>
thanks....
Depends on what you're planning to sign.
A good place to start would be to have a look at setting the ProtectionLevel for your service in the service contract.

I am creating a web service that will be consumed by a single client in another part of the world. I don't have any knowledge or control over the technology they are using but have been asked to
"use SSL to encrypt the message during transport and use UsernameToken
for client authentication"
I'm planning to use WCF4 to create the service and know generally how to set this all up. However I'm struggling to find the correct configuration for bindings etc. Google gives me lots of results around WSE 3.0 but I'm pretty sure (please correct me if I'm wrong) that I shouldn't be using WSE for a WCF service.
This article initially seems to suggest I should be using a custom binding but then also says I should "consider using the WCF system-defined bindings with appropriate security settings instead of creating a custom binding". However I can't see any examples of what this should be.
I would be grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction.
tl;dr: What are the WCF4 config settings to support SSL and UsernameToken?
Take a look at the WsHttpBinding. You can use a security mode of TransportWithMessageCredential to use SSL and a message credential of UserName. If you are hosting in IIS set up SSL there.
You can set up the binding in config as follows.
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="secureBinding">
<security mode="TransportWithMessageCredential">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" proxyCredentialType="None" realm="" />
<message clientCredentialType="UserName" negotiateServiceCredential="false" establishSecurityContext="false" />
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
You can then use this binding config as follows
<services>
<service name="ServiceName">
<endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="ContractType" bindingConfiguration="secureBinding" />
</service>
</services>
Both these elements are children of the system.serviceModel element in config.
I have a web service and we're currently hosting it in a HTTPS site.
My binding is this.
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding maxReceivedMessageSize="2000000" >
<readerQuotas maxStringContentLength="2147483647" />
<security mode="Transport">
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
And it seems to work well. But my main aim is to make sure the web service requests and responses are encrypted. I don't know much about web services but is that all there is to it?
Just use HTTPS and put this line in your configuration?
<security mode="Transport">
</security>
Or is there more to it? How can I know if the message's sent are encrypted or not?
Yes that's all. The mode Transport demands transport level security which in your case means HTTPS. If you want to see that messages are encrypted you must use some network monitoring tool (Fiddler, WireShark, etc.)
