Self - hosted WCF server and SSL
- by jitm
Hello, There is self - hosted WCF server (Not IIS), and was generated certificates (on the Win Xp) using command line like
makecert.exe -sr CurrentUser -ss My -a sha1 -n CN=SecureClient -sky exchange -pe
makecert.exe -sr CurrentUser -ss My -a sha1 -n CN=SecureServer -sky exchange -pe
These certificates was added to the server code like this:
serviceCred.ServiceCertificate.SetCertificate(StoreLocation.LocalMachine,
StoreName.My, X509FindType.FindBySubjectName, "SecureServer");
serviceCred.ClientCertificate.SetCertificate(StoreLocation.LocalMachine,
StoreName.My, X509FindType.FindBySubjectName, "SecureClient");
After all previous operation I created simple client to check SSL connection to the server.
Client configuration:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>

<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IAdminContract" closeTimeout="00:01:00"

<client>
<endpoint address="https://myhost:8002/Admin" binding="basicHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IAdminContract" contract="Admin.IAdminContract"
name="BasicHttpBinding_IAdminContract" />
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
Code:
Admin.AdminContractClient client = new AdminContractClient("BasicHttpBinding_IAdminContract");
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "user";
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "pass";
var result = client.ExecuteMethod()
During execution I receiving next error:
The provided URI scheme 'https' is invalid; expected 'http'.\r\nParameter name: via
Question: How to enable ssl for self-hosted server and where should I set - up certificates for client and server ?
Thanks.
