Question

First time I am hosting a WCF service on an internal UAT server (IIS 7).

This service should be accessible over web at a an address like https://abc.com/MyApp/MyService.svc

It should be accessible through http and https

1. How do I define the endpoints in this case??
2. When I enabled both http and https and kept address as blank address=”” SOAP location in the WSDL showed the address with name of the server (https://servername/MyService.svc) instead of https://abc.com/MyApp/MyService.svc.
   When I load this address – https://abc.com/MyApp/MyService.svc in SOAP UI the endpoint address changes to https://servername/MyService.svc
3. Do I need to use host header? When and how to use host header?
4. How to define relative address in this scenario?

Please advice.

Answer 1

I figured out that it was due to the SSL offloader which was infornt of the server. For noe we got rid of it and service works just fine.
