How can I use WCF with only basichttpbinding, SSL and Basic Authentication in IIS?
- by Tim
Hello,
Is it possible to setup a WCF service with SSL and Basic Authentication in IIS using only BasicHttpBinding-binding? (I can’t use the wsHttpBinding-binding)
The site is hosted on IIS 7, with the following authentication set up:
- Anonymous access: off
- Basic authentication: on
- Integrated Windows authentication: off !!
Service Config:
<services>
<service name="NameSpace.SomeService">
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="https://hostname/SomeService/" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>
<!-- Service Endpoints -->
<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding"
bindingNamespace="http://hostname/SomeMethodName/1"
contract="NameSpace.ISomeInterfaceService"
name="Default"
/>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior>
<!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false and remove the metadata endpoint above before deployment -->
<serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="true"/>
<!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, set the value below to true. Set to false before deployment to avoid disclosing exception information -->
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
<exceptionShielding/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
I tried 2 types of bindings with two different errors:
1 - IIS Error: 'Could not find a base address that matches scheme http for the endpoint with binding BasicHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [https].
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding>
<security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">
<transport clientCredentialType="Basic"/>
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
2 - IIS Error: Security settings for this service require 'Anonymous' Authentication but it is not enabled for the IIS application that hosts this service.
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding>
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="Basic"/>
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
Does somebody know how to configure this correctly? (if possible?)
