The situation

We are implementing different sort of security on some WCF service. ClientCertificate, UserName & Password and Anonymous.

We have 2 ServiceBehaviorConfigurations, one for httpBinding and one for wsHttpBinding. (We have custom authorization policies for claim based security) As a requirement we need different endpoints for each service. 3 endpoints with httpBinding and 1 with wsHttpBinding.

Example for one service:

  • basicHttpBinding : Anonymous
  • basicHttpBinding : UserNameAndPassword
  • basicHttpBinding : BasicSsl
  • wsHttpBinding : BasicSsl

The Problem

Part 1: We cannot specify the same service twice, once with the http service configuration and once with the wsHttp service configuration.

Part 2: We cannot specify service behaviors on an endpoint. (Throws and exception, No endpoint behavior was found... Service behaviors cant be set to endpoint behaviours)

The Config

For part 1:

<services>
  <service name="Namespace.MyService" behaviorConfiguration="securityBehavior">
   <endpoint address="http://server:94/MyService.svc/Anonymous" contract="Namespace.IMyService" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="Anonymous">
    </endpoint> 
    <endpoint address="http://server:94/MyService.svc/UserNameAndPassword" contract="Namespace.IMyService" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="UserNameAndPassword">
    </endpoint>
    <endpoint address="https://server/MyService.svc/BasicSsl" contract="Namespace.IMyService" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicSecured">
    </endpoint>
  </service>
  <service name="Namespace.MyService" behaviorConfiguration="wsHttpCertificateBehavior">
    <endpoint address="https://server/MyService.svc/ClientCert" contract="Namespace.IMyService" binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="ClientCert"/>
  </service>
</services>

Service Behavior configuration:

<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="securityBehavior">
  <serviceAuthorization serviceAuthorizationManagerType="Namespace.AdamAuthorizationManager,Assembly">
    <authorizationPolicies>
      <add policyType="Namespace.AdamAuthorizationManager,Assembly" />
    </authorizationPolicies>
  </serviceAuthorization>
</behavior>
<behavior name="wsHttpCertificateBehavior">
  <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="false" httpsGetEnabled="true"/>
  <serviceAuthorization serviceAuthorizationManagerType="Namespace.AdamAuthorizationManager,Assembly">
    <authorizationPolicies>
      <add policyType="Namespace.AdamAuthorizationManager,Assembly" />
    </authorizationPolicies>
  </serviceAuthorization>
  <serviceCredentials>
    <clientCertificate>
      <authentication certificateValidationMode="PeerOrChainTrust" revocationMode="NoCheck"/>
    </clientCertificate>
    <serviceCertificate findValue="CN=CertSubject"/>
  </serviceCredentials>
</behavior>

How can we specify a different service behaviour on the WsHttpBinding endpoint? Or how can we apply our authorization policy in a different way for wsHttpBinding then basicHttpBinding. We would use endpoint behavior but we can't specify our authorization policy on an endpoint behavior
