WCF hosted on SharePoint - Need to enable https - wcf

Question

I have a WCF hosted in SharePoint 2013 with two methods GET and SET send JSON data. The WCF worked fine under HTTP servers but now we need to move it to production and run it under SSL where we have a certificate installed on the server.
I made changes to the web.config file but I'm getting error 404 Not Found when I try to call the GET method.
Here is my Web.Config (working on HTTP before the change)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="WCF.Service" behaviorConfiguration="WCF.ServiceBehavior" >
<endpoint address=""
binding="webHttpBinding"
contract="WCF.IService"
/>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="WCF.ServiceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior >
<webHttp/>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<bindings>
<webHttpBinding>
<binding name="NoSecurityHttpBinding">
<security mode="None">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" />
</security>
</binding>
</webHttpBinding>
</bindings>
</system.serviceModel>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/>
</startup>
</configuration>
Here is what I tried to make the code work:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="WCF.Service" behaviorConfiguration="WCF.ServiceBehavior" >
<endpoint address=""
binding="webHttpBinding"
contract="WCF.IService"
/>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="WCF.ServiceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata **httpsGetEnabled**="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior >
<webHttp/>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<bindings>
<webHttpBinding>
<binding name="NoSecurityHttpBinding">
<security mode="**Transport**">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" />
</security>
</binding>
</webHttpBinding>
</bindings>
</system.serviceModel>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/>
</startup>
</configuration>
Here is my C# Code on the service interface:
[ServiceContract]
public interface IService
{
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "GET", BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped, UriTemplate = "Get/{Code}")]
Stream Get(string Code);
}
Method code
public class Service : IService
{
public Stream Get(string Code)
{
string strOutPut = "";
WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingResponse.ContentType = "application/json;charset=utf8";
try
{
/// geting data
return new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(strOutPut));
}
catch (Exception e)
{
// error handler
}
}
}
Any Ideas? What am I missing to enable this method on HTTPS as a SharePoint ISAPI hosted service?

Answer 1

You define security for your binding, but you never assign that binding to your endpoint:
<service name="WCF.Service" behaviorConfiguration="WCF.ServiceBehavior" >
<endpoint address=""
binding="webHttpBinding"
contract="WCF.IService" />
</service>
All your service endpoint says is use webHttpBinding - since you didn't specify a configuration for the binding, the defaults are used, and the default transport for webHttpBinding is None.
Use the bindingConfiguration attribute to tell the endpoint which binding configuration to use:
<endpoint address=""
binding="webHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="NoSecurityHttpBinding"
contract="WCF.IService" />
I'd suggest changing the name of your configuration to something other than "NoSecurityHttpBinding" if you're adding security to it.
There may be other issues as well, but you won't even get out of the door until you assign the binding configuration to your endpoint.
