programmatically create netTcp binding with certificates - wcf

I have a general purpose hosting service for WCF (.net v4). It allows for multiple agents to be dropped in plug-in style with each agent having its own config file. It was written as a service since all sites will not have IIS or WAS intalled but we can specify .net v4 and our custome service.
We have had no issues with HTTP, HTTPS or TCP (without credentials). When we add, a certificate to the server it appears to start without an issue. As soon as we attempt to call the servie we get a channel fault. We wrote a small self-hosting program that uses the config file rather than programmatically creating the endpoing and it works without any issue. We can only speculate we missed a setting but cannot identify which.
The error we get is shown below. It appears that for some reason the client it trying to set up a dual-channel tcp connection which we did not configure in the host.
Protocol Type application/negotiate was sent to a service that does not support that type of upgrade.

Error: The underlying secure session has faulted before the reliable session fully completed. The reliable session was faulted

Can you please help us on the below issue?
We are getting error message as "The underlying secure session has faulted before the reliable session fully completed. The reliable session was faulted."
I have provided the config settings we are using and the error message.

We have also enabled both trace logging and failed request tracing, but none of them
provided any insights on exact issue. Can you please suggest how can we know the cause for the above issue.

There are 2 general reasons for this error message. The first is with readerQuotas. Usually it is fixed just by increasing MaxStringContentLength (which you seem to have set large enough). I would increase other values in the readerQuotas to see if the problem goes away.
The second reason for this is if the data is serialized to go across the wire and when the deserialization is attempted the object has no setter defined for the data. So go through your data definition for your service and make sure you are not missing any setter definitions. Also if there are fields without setters that should NOT be passed across, make sure they are tagged as not serializable.
I haven't encountered a similar problem, which may have something to do with some configurations.
I suggest you try other bindings to create the service so that we could locate the problem, such as nettcpbinding, and configure the readerQuotas section.
Such as,
<bindings>
<netTcpBinding>
<binding name="mybinding" maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647"
maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" >
<readerQuotas maxDepth="2147483647" maxStringContentLength="2147483647"
maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />
<reliableSession ordered="false" inactivityTimeout="00:30:00"

</netTcpBinding>

I did have to enabled AspNetCompability for the service host due to URL Routing.
Here are the steps that I followed:
I have set up a basic .net 4.0 web application with appropriate URL routing rules in RouteTable:
routes.Add(new ServiceRoute("routerservice", new CustomServiceHostFactory(), typeof(System.ServiceModel.Routing.RoutingService)));`
My CustomServiceHostFactory code:
public class CustomServiceHostFactory : ServiceHostFactory
{
protected override System.ServiceModel.ServiceHost CreateServiceHost(System.Type serviceType, System.Uri[] baseAddresses)
{
var host = base.CreateServiceHost(serviceType, baseAddresses);
var aspnet = host.Description.Behaviors.Find<AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsAttribute>();
if (aspnet == null)
{
aspnet = new AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsAttribute();
host.Description.Behaviors.Add(aspnet);
}
aspnet.RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed;
return host;
}
}
In web.config file I define the service endpoint and behavior:
<services>
<service name="System.ServiceModel.Routing.RoutingService" behaviorConfiguration="GatewayServiceBehavior">
<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="System.ServiceModel.Routing.IRequestReplyRouter" bindingConfiguration="GatewaySecureBinding" />
</service>
</services>
The binding and behavior configurations are straight forward with just a simple username/password validation requirement:
<binding name="GatewaySecureBinding" closeTimeout="00:01:00"

Vague WCF Error on client side when processing a large object graph

I am calling a WCF service from a SharePoint site and getting an error on the client with below details, when relatively large object graph is returned.
On debugging the service I can see that is contructs the object correctly and the method returns the final object (that has the list of other objects) correctly. But I get exception on client side on the service method call.

Error:
An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to http://localhost:90/AdminService.svc/soap. This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details.

I think this is about MaxItemsInObjectGraph property. Here is the answer to the similar problem.
#paramosh - Thanks a lot!!!
That did the trick. For others reference I was actually using a Non-RESTful WCF service. Hence I modified the solution as below
Calling below function before the web svc method call:
private void ExpandObjectGraphItems(AdminServiceClient svc)
{
var operations = svc.Endpoint.Contract.Operations;
foreach (var operation in operations)
{
var dataContractBehavior = operation.Behaviors.Find<System.ServiceModel.Description.DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior>();
if (dataContractBehavior != null)
{
dataContractBehavior.MaxItemsInObjectGraph = int.MaxValue;
}
}
}
Added following attribute to service config:
<behavior name="StandardServiceBehaviour">
<dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483646"/>

But it becomes
http://www.server.com:81/wcf.svc' on the server side. Is it the load balancer causing it.
System.ServiceModel.EndpointNotFoundException, System.ServiceModel, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
There was no channel actively listening at 'http://www.server.com:81/wcf.svc'. This is often caused by an incorrect address URI. Ensure that the address to which the message is sent matches an address on which a service is listening.

InnerException:
Review the configuration of your load balancer, and make sure that the requests are being for warded to the correct host AND PORT number. If the port number you chose is not standard, make sure to adjust the IIS Site Binding and the base address of your service.
One important thing to understand about transport security is that it has to be configured on a "hop" by "hop" basis. In your example, you have two hops (client) -> (load balancer) and (load balancer) -> (server).
Securing your connection from the client to the load balancer doesn't automatically configure security from the load balancer to the server. You need to install and configure an ssl certificate on both the load balancer and the server.
Your initial https request ended up being an http request on the server, that is a good indication that you did not configure a secure channel between the load balancer and the server.
If you do not wish to secure the connection between the load balancer and the server, then expose your service without transport security. With this, you can still have the communication from the client to the load balancer (the first hop) on ssl.
