I'm having difficulty connecting to a 3rd party WSE 3.0 web service from a WCF client. I have implemented the custom binding class as indicated in this KB article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms734745.aspx
The problem seems to have to do with the security assertion used by the web service - UsernameOverTransport.
When I attempt to call a method, I get the following exception:
System.InvalidOperationException: The
'WseHttpBinding'.'[namespace]'
binding for the
'MyWebServiceSoap'.'[namespace]'
contract is configured with an
authentication mode that requires
transport level integrity and
confidentiality. However the transport
cannot provide integrity and
confidentiality..
It is expecting a username, password, and CN number. In the example code supplied to us by the vendor, these credentials are bundled in a Microsoft.Web.Services3.Security.Tokens.UsernameToken. Here's the example supplied by the vendor:
MyWebServiceWse proxy = new MyWebServiceWse();
UsernameToken token = new UsernameToken("Username", "password", PasswordOption.SendPlainText);
token.Id = "<supplied CN Number>";
proxy.SetClientCredential(token);
proxy.SetPolicy(new Policy(new UsernameOverTransportAssertion(), new RequireActionHeaderAssertion()));
MyObject mo = proxy.MyMethod();
This works fine from a 2.0 app w/ WSE 3.0 installed. Here is a snippet of the code from my WCF client:
EndpointAddress address = new EndpointAddress(new Uri("<web service uri here>"));
WseHttpBinding binding = new WseHttpBinding(); // This is the custom binding I created per the MS KB article
binding.SecurityAssertion = WseSecurityAssertion.UsernameOverTransport;
binding.EstablishSecurityContext = false;
// Not sure about the value of either of these next two
binding.RequireDerivedKeys = true;
binding.MessageProtectionOrder = MessageProtectionOrder.SignBeforeEncrypt;
MembershipServiceSoapClient proxy = new MembershipServiceSoapClient(binding, address);
// This is where I believe the problem lies – I can’t seem to properly setup the security credentials the web service is expecting
proxy.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "username";
proxy.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "pwd";
// How do I supply the CN number?
MyObject mo = proxy.MyMethod(); // this throws the exception
I've scoured the web looking for an answer to this question. Some sources get me close (like the MS KB article), but I can't seem to get over the hump. Can someone help me out?
