Comment on Consuming a WCF Service using wshttp binding from a C++ client by Robin

Robin — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 00:43:39 +0000

Hello,

I have vc++ application using vs2005. I may need it to connect as a client to a WCF service. What is the best approach for me within vs2005 to approach this? Your instructions seem very relevant to what I need to do. Can you make any further suggestions to help get us going?

Thanks for a good post!

Robin

Comment on How to setup a WCF service using basic Http bindings with SSL transport level security by Vadim

Hi Alex,
Yes, this is correct, i’d like to use Windows authetication (my application has no logon screen), but my service should run over https/ssl and, surprise, WCF specifiction for “TransportWithMessageCredential” doesn’t support “message = Windows”.
Currently i set the service for “Transport” only, but i’m not sure this is right (from security point of view)

@Vadim:
I don’t quite understand your question.
If you mean how can you capture a user’s password so that you can populate “client.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password”. Then it sort of depends on your application; In my current application we have a login screen that captures the user’s username and password (custom credentials), and we then hold onto them within the application to use for authenticating all the WCF calls.

If you’re using Windows credentials then you don’t really want to follow this post exactly. Instead you need to do something like setting the message client credential type to Windows.

Comment on Username message credentials over streamed binding by Alex McMahon

@Peter:
I only set it up with TCP, so I’m not entirely sure. My first instinct is that there was probably a more useful exception in the WCF Service trace, I’d turn service tracing on (client and server side), and then look at the logs (don’t forget to use Microsoft’s Service Trace Viewer application).

As far as I’m aware there’s no reason it shouldn’t work with basicHttp – maybe it’s worth double checking your WCF configuration on both sides, also remember that different bindings have different defaults, so maybe part of the basicHttpBinding has a default configuration value on one end that differs from the explicit value on the other.
