WCF and SSL - No endpoint found error, 404 - wcf

Please, oh, please, please, please help!!! :-)
I am trying to test out WCF with SSL and seem to be missing something. I have done a ton of searching and can't seem to find what I'm missing with the config. I have a basic WCF service hosted in IIS on Windows 7 with a self-signed certificate. I also have a test client web application calling that WCF service.
I am getting the following error in the test client:
There was no endpoint listening at https://<url>/WcfAuthTest/Service1.svc that could accept the message.
I can navigate to the service in a browser and get the standard auto-generated page for a SOAP service.
Here is the config for the WCF Service:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="wsSecureBinding">
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" />
</security>

Hi I know its been a while since you asked this question.
I am having similar problems with WCF and SSL and just thought you might resolve your problem by setting the property in the Service Behaviours httpsGetEnabled="true"
setting this property enabled me to get to the next stage of problems :)

At the end of your config you have:
<endpoint address="https://<url>/WcfAuthTest/Service1.svc"
binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="wsTestBinding"
contract="ServiceReference1.IService1" name="wsTestBinding" />
<url> looks like it starts but never ends.

WCF works in VS but not in IIS

Have a web application. It runs 2 wcf services, and is a client for another. One wcf service works fine, the other does not work on the dev server but does work locally. The error is "The content type text/html; charset=UTF-8 of the response message does not match the content type of the binding"

The mobile service works, so I assume iis is set up correctly.
If I put the svc url in a browser it shows me service page and if I add the wsdl to the url is shows the wsdl.
Have been beating my head against this for 2 days now and cannot find a problem.
Any help is sorley appreciated
So trying Dimitri's suggestion my web.config now looks like this

realm="" />
<message clientCredentialType="UserName" algorithmSuite="Default" />
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
But I still have the error. Note that I had to include the name of the service to prevent a 404 error
I am somewhat confused by the fact that each of the services have their own web.config as well as the web app's web.config. I assume they somehow get rolled up into the project when compiled as if there are errors in them they get thrown. Any other ideas?
thnx
Try this in your Web application's (not client's) config:

It looks like you're trying to configure two different services using the same service contract. If you actually want to do that, just define different address values for different endpoints within that same service but that probably isn't very useful.
If the Mobile service exposes a different contract then you do need two different service configurations, one for each contract. In this case, clone the company.eShopWorld.Wcf.eShopWorldWCFService service element and change the contract attribute to have the correct .NET namespace and interface type for the Mobile service. You'll also need separate *.svc files for each service. I believe the default addresses for the two service would be something like this:
http://HostName/service.svc
http://HostName/mobileservice.svc
So the problem turned out to be a rule that was converting the service name to all lower case. It did not cause problems in VS debug, but did in IIS

Failing to call WCF Service

I have a WCF Service being hosted on IIS 5.1 with Anonymous access disabled. Below is a part of the web.config file showing how the service is configured:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="basicHttpBindingCfg">
<security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">
<transport clientCredentialType="Windows" />
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior" name="HelloService">
<endpoint name="BasicHttpEndpoint"
address=""
binding="basicHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="basicHttpBindingCfg"
contract="IHelloService">
</endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="ServiceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
</system.serviceModel>
Every time I call any operations that this service exposes from a desktop application, I receive the following error message:
Either a required impersonation level was not provided, or the
provided impersonation level is invalid.
Please note that binding type and hosting environment is pre-determined by the client and cannot be changed.
Any help that may lead to resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Problem calling WCF service internet

I am developing a WCF service that will be called by customer in internet. The service is hosted in IIS7 and accept only http. For clients call us from https we do is have a reverse proxy that forwards the request to the application https to http. The customer give a https url to connect and does so smoothly, adding the reference to the service properly. The problem comes when trying to create a client and add in your endpoint https and execute it, as it reads:
System.ArgumentException: The provided URI scheme 'https' is invalid,
expected 'http'. Parameter name: via.
I leave part of the service's web.config:

Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
I think your error is being caused because you're using message based security on your configuration. Try changing it to Transport instead (in both the client and service configuration files), so that it uses SSL for security rather than encrypting the message.
You can use TransportWithMessageCredential if you absolutely must have the message encrypted also. Hope that helps.
I don't understand the reverse proxy you describe but it seems you're trying to support access from both HTTP & HTTPS. To do this, you will need to add a second endpoint. You'd configure the service something like this:
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="ConfigEP">
<security mode="Message">
<message clientCredentialType="Certificate" />
</security>
</binding>
<binding name="ConfigEPHttps">
<security mode="TransportWithMessageCredential">
<message clientCredentialType="Certificate" />
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
and this add the new endpoint:
<service behaviorConfiguration="App.AppM_NameBehavior" name="App.AppM_Name">
<endpoint address="" behaviorConfiguration="App.AppM_NameEPBehavior"
binding="wsHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="ConfigEP"
name="App.AppM_NameEP"
bindingNamespace="http://siteName/AppM_Name"
contract="App.IAppM_Name" />
<endpoint address="secure" behaviorConfiguration="App.AppM_NameEPBehavior"
binding="wsHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="ConfigEPHttps"
name="App.AppM_NameEPHttps"
bindingNamespace="http://siteName/AppM_Name"
contract="App.IAppM_Name" />
</service>
You also need make this change to get the WSDL over HTTPS:
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true" />

But i am getting following error accessing the service.
WsHttpBinding demands service certificate. WCF 4 (and older versions with special KB) allows exposing service authenticated with UserName and password without certificate but do you really want it? It means that user name and password will go in the plain text over the wire = no security because anybody who will capture the packet will be able to authenticate with stolen credentials.
To use user name password without certificate you need custom binding or you can use ClearUserNameBinding.

For some reason I still get "The provided URI scheme 'http' is invalid; expected 'net.tcp'." exception .

Actually it turns out i was missing the mex endpoint...
woops
Possibly this
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
You're asking it to enable HTTP on a TCP service, which seems like it might cause some problems.
My issue is that the behaviorConfiguration in the web.config is deleted after I refresh the the Service References.
(My behaviorConfiguration uses a clientVia address rather than a standard endpoint address to allow it to traverse the firewall).
