WCF doesn't find client configuration - wcf

I have a WCF service on server B. Then on the machine A is the client, which is a Windows service. In a separate dll stands all the business logic for this service. So my proxy for the WCF is on that side. I have 2 app.config (client side only) : 1 for the service and another one in the dll. So I tried (for test purpose) puting the servicemodel config section in both. Both still, it doesn't work, it says that it can't find the endpoint with that name and for that contract...
What I'm trying to do here is modify the configuration programatically. Here' the code in the business layer dll :
Dim ep As New EndpointAddress(New Uri(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings(nomServeurCible)), _
EndpointIdentity.CreateDnsIdentity(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("Identity_" & nomServeurCible)))
serviceCible = New ServiceProxy.ExecOperClient("wsHttp", ep)
And here is a sample of the config file :
<add key="TEST1" value="http://TEST1:8000/MySpacePerso/ExecOperService"/>
<add key="TEST1_CertificateSerialNumber" value="10 hj 6y 7b 00 01 32 12 01 21"/>
<add key="Identity_TEST1" value="TEST1"/>
<system.serviceModel>
<client>
<endpoint address="http://SERV_NAME:8000/CSSTQDA/ExecOperService" binding="wsHttpBinding"
behaviorConfiguration="myClientBehavior"
bindingConfiguration="MybindingCon" contract="ExecOper.Service.IExecOper"
name="wsHttp">
<identity>
<dns value="SERV_CERT_NAME"/>
</identity>
</endpoint>
</client>
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="MybindingCon">
<security mode="Message">
<message clientCredentialType="UserName" />
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="ServiceTraitementBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="True"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="True" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="myClientBehavior">
<clientCredentials>
<serviceCertificate>
<authentication certificateValidationMode="ChainTrust" revocationMode="NoCheck"/>
</serviceCertificate>
</clientCredentials>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>

Well, it turns out it was just a matter of ConfigurationName tag in my proxy class... Sorry :-) It didn't have the correct namespace for my contract. The fully qualified name must match the one in the app.config.

Moving WCF service to IIS6 with SSL enabled

I ran my WCF service on the server without SSL enabled and now I moved it to one with SSL enabled and I am getting the following error:
Could not find a base address that matches scheme http for the endpoint with binding BasicHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [https].
Below are my settings:
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="basicHTTP">
<security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">
<transport clientCredentialType="Windows">
</transport>
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="basicBehavior" name="ProjectName.MyService">
<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="basicHTTP" contract="ProjectName.IMyService"/>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="basicBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
How can I fix this error?
You need to define a binding for basicHttps. This is a very simple settings that works for SSL:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpsBinding>
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IMyService" />
</basicHttpsBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint
name="BasicHttpBinding_IMyService"
address="https://MyURL/MyService.svc/soap/"
binding="basicHttpsBinding"
bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IMyService"
contract="ClientServiceReference.IMyService" />
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
Note: The endpoint needs to be defined and its URL is https.
Also, make sure that in production environment, you are not sending the exception details back to the caller (that would be considered a security hole in your system because exceptions can reveal too much information to hackers). You must change this line:
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
Fixed the issue by specifying security mode as Transport and using webHttpBinding

WCF in windows phone security transport

WP supports only basicHttpBinding. My app sends sensitive data through WCF and store them in DB. Data are sent as plain text and this is inacceptable. I found some solutions but it isn't working. I've set securityMode to Transport but I've got exception. Here is my web.config file:
<system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="serviceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug httpHelpPageEnabled="true" includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="baseBinding" >
<security mode="Transport" />
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="serviceBehavior" name="TestWCF.WcfNotificationService.WcfNotificationService">
<endpoint address="base" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="baseBinding"
contract="TestWCF.WcfNotificationService.IWcfNotificationService" />
<host>
<timeouts openTimeout="00:05:00" />
</host>
</service>
</services>
when I update service reference in client I get error:
Could not find a base address that matches scheme https for the endpoint with binding BasicHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [http].
Could you help me, what I have to do?
Thanks

basicHttpBinding security mode not successfully inferred by wcf test client

I have a WCF Service programmed in VB.NET that is exhibiting strange behavior. The web.config has the following xml:
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="CentricBasicHttpBehavior" name="OnbaseService">
<endpoint binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="CentRicBasicHttpServerBinding" contract="IOnbaseService">
<identity>
<servicePrincipalName value="HTTP/JFOLKENDT7E" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="CentricBasicHttpBehavior">
<serviceAuthorization impersonateCallerForAllOperations="true" />
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
<dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483646" />
<serviceThrottling maxConcurrentCalls="100" maxConcurrentSessions="100" maxConcurrentInstances="100" />
</behavior>
<behavior name="">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="CentRicBasicHttpServerBinding" maxReceivedMessageSize="5000000">
<security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">
<transport clientCredentialType="Windows" />
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
</system.serviceModel>
When I configure the service in wcf test client, both the Binding Mode and TransportClientCredentialType are coming across as "None". I expected for them to be "TransportCredentialOnly" and "Windows" respectively.
Can someone please share with me how WCF Test Client infers the binding configuration, and how I should go about correcting this issue? The end result is that within the source code of the service, the WindowsIdentity isn't impersonating the user like I expected.
Thanks,
Jason
I work with Jason and we looked at this together. The service configuration needed the name and contact properties to match the fully qualified service class name and fully qualified contact interface name. Otherwise, we were getting the fun new .Net 4.0 defualt bindings for a default service.
In my own experience with WCF, I had modified session Timeouts and connection Timeout settings in the config file but WCF Test Client was not respecting those settings. Seems like WCF Test client just takes up the default values for communicating with WCF services. Hence I test my WCF services using my own custom WCF Test Clients by generating app.config and proxy. cs through svcutil.exe .

Both http and https for one service

I'm tackling with an issue but couldn't sort out it.
I have one service which is worked inside asp.net 4.0 app.
The site is available both over http and https.
Issue is that the service with below provided config snipped can work either over http or over https.
What is wrong in my config?
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<webHttpBinding>
<binding name="webHttpsBinding">
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="None"/>
</security>
</binding>
</webHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="HMS.DataServices.PaymentsServiceBehavior">
<enableWebScript />
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="HMS.DataServices.PaymentsServiceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<services>
<service name="HMS.DataServices.PaymentsService">
<!--HTTP-->
<endpoint address="" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="HMS.DataServices.IPaymentsService"
behaviorConfiguration="HMS.DataServices.PaymentsServiceBehavior" />
<!--HTTPS-->
<endpoint address="" binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="webHttpsBinding"
contract="HMS.DataServices.IPaymentsService" behaviorConfiguration="HMS.DataServices.PaymentsServiceBehavior" />
</service>
</services>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
this config works over https but not nttp
In the windows log I see next error
The exception message is: Could not find a base address that matches scheme https for the endpoint with binding WebHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [http]..
Thanks in advance!

WebHttpBinding Security Question

I have created a RESTful Service and implemented the Authentication. It accepts username and password and then grants access to the service requested. It Works fine. Now I want to use SSL on top of my Service. For this I Created Certificate, Then In IIS I gave the required settings. But my service is not working. I am using webHttpBinding.
my Web.Config on service side is :
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" />
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior" name="TestAPI">
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="https://localhost/AuthWithSSLTest/API/TestAPI.svc" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>
<endpoint address="" behaviorConfiguration="RESTFriendly" bindingConfiguration="MywebHttpBinding" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="ITestAPI" >
</endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>
</services>
<client /><bindings>
<webHttpBinding>
<binding name="MywebHttpBinding">
<security mode="Transport" >
<transport clientCredentialType="Certificate"/>
</security>
</binding>
</webHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="RESTFriendly">
<webHttp />
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="ServiceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="false" httpsGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />

<clientCertificate>
<authentication revocationMode="NoCheck" />
</clientCertificate>
<serviceCertificate findValue="CN=tempCertClient" />
</serviceCredentials>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
And In my client side app.config I have
<system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="NewBehavior">
<clientCredentials>
<clientCertificate findValue="CN=tempCertClient" storeLocation="LocalMachine" />
<serviceCertificate>
<authentication certificateValidationMode="PeerTrust" revocationMode="NoCheck" />
</serviceCertificate>
</clientCredentials>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<bindings>
<customBinding>
<binding name="WebHttpBinding_ITestAPI">
<httpTransport/>
</binding>
</customBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="https://localhost/AuthWithSSLTest/API/API.svc/TestMethod"
behaviorConfiguration="NewBehavior" binding="customBinding"
bindingConfiguration="WebHttpBinding_ITestAPI"
contract="TestAPI.ITestAPI" name="WebHttpBinding_ITestAPI" />
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
When I try to Run Client, it says Provided URI scheme Https is invalid, http required.
Also when I try to invoke the Web Service from VS2008, it says "Could not find a base address that matches scheme https for the endpoint with binding WebHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [http]."
if I try to run the web service from IIS, it says "Could not find a base address that matches scheme http for the endpoint with binding WebHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [https]."
I have tried googling and tried all the suggested things, but no awail. Please Help.
Thanks in Advance,
Tara Singh
In your client configuration, try changing:
<httpTransport/>
to:
<httpsTransport/>
