Might be the same issue as this previuos question: WCF Proxy but not sure...
I have an HTTPS service connfigured to use transport
security and, I hope, Windows credentials. The service is only accessed internally (i.e. within the intranet). The configuration is as follows:
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="WCFTest.CalculatorService" behaviorConfiguration="WCFTest.CalculatorBehavior">
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress = "https://localhost:8000/WCFTest/CalculatorService/" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>
<endpoint address ="basicHttpEP" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="WCFTest.ICalculatorService" bindingConfiguration="basicHttpBindingConfig"/>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
</service>
</services>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="basicHttpBindingConfig">
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType = "Windows"/>
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="WCFTest.CalculatorBehavior">
<serviceAuthorization impersonateCallerForAllOperations="false" principalPermissionMode="UseWindowsGroups" />
<serviceCredentials >
<windowsAuthentication allowAnonymousLogons="false" includeWindowsGroups="true" />
</serviceCredentials>
<serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="True"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="False" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
When I run the service I can't see the service in IE. I get a "this page can not be displayed" error. If I try and create a client in VS2008 via the "add service reference" wizard I get this error:
There was an error downloading
'https://localhost:8000/WCFTest/CalculatorService/'.
There was an error downloading
'https://localhost:8000/WCFTest/CalculatorService/'.
The underlying connection was closed:
An unexpected error occurred on a
send. Authentication failed because
the remote party has closed the
transport stream. Metadata contains a
reference that cannot be resolved:
'https://localhost:8000/WCFTest/CalculatorService/'.
An error occurred while making the
HTTP request to
https://localhost:8000/WCFTest/CalculatorService/.
This could be due to the fact that the
server certificate is not configured
properly with HTTP.SYS in the HTTPS
case. This could also be caused by a
mismatch of the
security binding
between the client and the server. The
underlying connection was closed: An
unexpected error occurred on a send.
Authentication failed because the
remote party has closed the transport
stream. If the service is defined in
the current solution, try building the
solution and adding the service
reference again.
I think I'm missing some fundamental basics here. Do I need to set up some certificates? Or should it all just work as it seems to do when I use NetTcpBinding?
Thanks
