I have a WCF service that is using https to communicate and json for the response format. I don’t want my methods to be available to anyone so i change the authentication in IIS from anonymous & basic to just basic.

So far, the browser is asking for user and pass but i get the following error :

Could not find a base address that matches scheme http for the endpoint with binding WebHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [https].

What do i have to change to my endpoint to work with authentication ?

My web.config looks like :

  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="false" targetFramework="4.0" />

    This config file solved my problem. I changed from basic to windows authentication, after i installed windows authentication in iis.
