What WCF configuration settings makes WCF service, so that I can access as old ASMX web services? How can I authenticate using Authentication header what I used in Old ASMX web services?
Just use basicHttpBinding
Here is an example of the configuration:

I've created a WCF Restful service(Framework 4.7.2) and hosted the service in IIS sever. I would like to add the service on a ASP.net core 3.1 Api. It does fails while adding it via connected service. The wcf service has endpoint with webhttpbinding.error
Any help would be appreciated..
Core does not support webhttpbinding, wcf only supports BasicHttpBinding, CustomBinding, NetHttpBinding, NetTcpBinding：
So there are two current solutions:
Modify the binding of the server, do not use webhttpbinding.
The client continues to use the .net framework.
Feel free to let me know if the problem persists.
Am creating a WCF service which will be hosted in IIS 7. Can I expose webHttpBinding for Json communication and also netNamedPipeBinding for internal to the system
No, It's not allowed to have two types of protocol on single WCF service in one hosting process on IIS. The reason is that for WebHttpBinding you would need to use AspnetcompatibilityMode which allows WCF to be hosted side by side in Asp.net app domain and allows functionalities like Routing, access to HttpContext.Current.
Other binding types won't be supported with other types of biding if you have Aspnetcompatiblitymode enabled. For more details read the MSDN documentation here.
I followed the example in the article http://www.asp.net/aspnet/overview/owin-and-katana/owin-oauth-20-authorization-server
this works great for WEB API, how would I secure a WCF service the same way? I would like to have it communicate to the authorization server coded with OWIN and WEB API, is there a WCF binding that will communicate with it? or any other way to do this?
I am new to WCF and just have made a sample service. Please guide me by default WCF services are soap or restful if we not specify anywhere ? I tried to run URL of my services and got this page. I am feeling it is SOAP based. Kindly guide.
Thanks
WCF services by default are SOAP - unless you use the webHttpBinding which is REST (and this for now is the only RESTful binding). To test your SOAP based services, you cannot just navigate to an URL in your browser - you need to use a SOAP test app, like SoapUI or the WCF Test Client.
WCF Data Services and WCF RIA Services are based on webHttpBinding and thus are REST-based. REST services can be tested by just browsing to the URL - you'll get back XML that can be shown in your browser (or JSON which you can store to a file and look at)
By default, WCF services are soap based if you use the project item "WCF Service" in visual studio.
I am going to have to interoperate with some WCF classes from an ASP.NET 2.0 web application. What tools exist that I can use to generate a proxy class that is compatible with classic XML Web Services? AFAIK, the WCF endpoints are using the basic HTTPS binding.
Thanks,
Matthew
WCF was introduced in .net 3.0, so you cannot use WCF from .net 2.0.
However a WCF service with basichttpbinding will work in the same way as a classic xml web service.
