What is the WCF equivalent? - wcf

Question

I am trying to port some code that is based on WSE3.0 to WCF. Basically, the old code has the following configuration:
<microsoft.web.services3>
<diagnostics>
<trace enabled="true" input="InputTrace.webinfo" output="OutputTrace.webinfo" />
</diagnostics>
<tokenIssuer>
<statefulSecurityContextToken enabled="false" />
</tokenIssuer>
</microsoft.web.services3>
When calling the same service through my "Service Reference" I get this error:
Request does not contain required Security header
My binding looks like this:
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="LegalUnitGetBinding" closeTimeout="00:01:00" openTimeout="00:01:00"
receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00" allowCookies="false"
bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
maxBufferSize="65536" maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536"
messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" transferMode="Buffered"
useDefaultWebProxy="true">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384"
maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
<security mode="Transport">
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
From what I have understood, the service I'm calling only requires an SSL connection, since it receives a username and password as part of a request parameter.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You'll have to pass credentials on the client side and validate them on the server side, I guess you are using IIS to Host? Instead of rehashing - here is an MVP post that should get you pointed in the right direction.
Key change that will get you thinking in your config file:
<security mode="TransportWithMessageCredential">
...
</security>
