  • 0

I am attempting to consume a web service through its corresponding wsdl. This service is dependent upon authentication conforming to Web Services Security Basic Security Profile 1.0 including that the correct xmls namespace of http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd must be included in the request.

Example:

<wsse:UsernameToken xmlns:wsse='http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd' >
   <wsse:Username>
      Bob
   </wsse:Username>
   <wsse:Password Type='http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordText'>
      1234
   </wsse:Password>
</wsse:UsernameToken>

My first attempts were along the lines of Add Service Reference targeting the wsdl and from the generated proxies using them as such

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = 
    (object s, X509Certificate certificate, X509Chain chain,
                     SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors) => true;

var basicHttpBinding = new BasicHttpBinding(BasicHttpSecurityMode.Transport);
basicHttpBinding.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = 
                                                HttpClientCredentialType.Basic;

var endpoint = new EndpointAddress("https://secure-ausomxana.crmondemand.com/..."

using (var client = new ContactClient(basicHttpBinding, endpoint))
{

    var credential = client.ClientCredentials.UserName;
    credential.UserName = "bob";
    credential.Password = "1234";

    var input = ...    
    var output = client.ContactQueryPage(input);
}

However attempting to interrogate the SOAP messages with Fiddler I see that no UsernameToken element has been added.

What is the correct way to fulfill this contract?

Edit: following the response from @John Saunders I attempted to alter my code to use a wsHttpBinding

var wsHttpBinding = new WSHttpBinding(SecurityMode.Transport);
wsHttpBinding.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType =
                                         HttpClientCredentialType.Basic;

Using this binding the SOAP message becomes

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing">
  <s:Header>
    <a:Action s:mustUnderstand="1">document/urn:crmondemand/ws/ecbs/contact/10/2004:ContactQueryPage</a:Action>
    <a:MessageID>urn:uuid:17807f44-1fcasfdsfd</a:MessageID>
    <a:ReplyTo>
      <a:Address>http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/anonymous</a:Address>
    </a:ReplyTo>
    <a:To s:mustUnderstand="1">https://secure-ausomxana.crmondemand.com/Services/Integration</a:To>
  </s:Header>
  <s:Body xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <ContactQueryPage_Input xmlns="urn:crmondemand/ws/ecbs/contact/10/2004">
      <ListOfContact xmlns="urn:/crmondemand/xml/Contact/Query">
        <Contact>
          <Id>1-asdfd</Id>
        </Contact>
      </ListOfContact>
    </ContactQueryPage_Input>
  </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

This adds the Header element, as opposed to the wsse:UsernameToken element for reference the original soap message using the BasicHttpBinding is

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <s:Body xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <ContactQueryPage_Input xmlns="urn:crmondemand/ws/ecbs/contact/10/2004">
      <ListOfContact xmlns="urn:/crmondemand/xml/Contact/Query">
        <Contact>
          <Id>1-asdfds</Id>
        </Contact>
      </ListOfContact>
    </ContactQueryPage_Input>
  </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

If I change the binding to be

var wsHttpBinding = new WSHttpBinding(SecurityMode.TransportWithMessageCredential);
wsHttpBinding.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.Basic;
wsHttpBinding.Security.Message.ClientCredentialType = MessageCredentialType.UserName;

The SOAP message I get out is

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing" xmlns:u="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd">

</s:Envelope>

This seems to be very close however this appears to have actually encrypted the body of the soap message which is something I do NOT want to happen.

If I specify wsHttpBinding.Security.Message.ClientCredentialType = MessageCredentialType.UserName; with only using SecurityMode.Transport it goes back to where it says its anonymous.

What is the final hurdle I’m not able to clear on this?

Final Solution: Figured I’d post this incase it helps someone, there’s not really much different here other the UserToken object is wrapped in a Security node which is what my service provider required and seems to be how its output from my previous examples from what I could get generated.

    If you need to send UserName over HTTPS you can use standard approach (if your WSDL is correctly defined this should be created for you automatically by adding service reference):

    <bindings>
      <basicHttpBinding>
        <binding name="secured">
          <security mode="TransportWithMessageCredential">
            <message clientCredentialType="UserName" />
          </security>
        </binding>
      </basicHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <client>
      <endpoint name="..." address="https://..." contract="..." binding="basicHttpBinding"
                bindingConfiguration="secured" />
    </client>
    

    Ar you can define binding in code:

    var basicHttpBinding = new BasicHttpBinding(BasicHttpSecurityMode.TransportWithMessageCredential);
    basicHttpBinding.Security.Message.ClientCredentialType = BasicHttpMessageCredentialType.UserName;
    

    You will set credentials in proxy as you do it now:

    client.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "bob";
    client.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "1234";
    

    If you only need UserNameToken profile over HTTP without any other WS-Security infrastructure the simplest approach is using ClearUserNameBinding.

    If you need same user name and password for all requests from the client you can use simple basicHttpBinding without any security and include the static header from configuration:

    <client>
      <endpoint ...>
        <headers>
          <wsse:UsernameToken xmlns:wsse='http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd' >
            <wsse:Username>Bob</wsse:Username>
            <wsse:Password Type='http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordText'>
               1234
            </wsse:Password>
          </wsse:UsernameToken>
        </headers>
      </endpoint>
    </client> 
    

    If you need anything more complex show the relevant part of WSDL (security assertion) or sample SOAP request. Also mention if you are required to use HTTP or HTTPS.
