Question

I have website that uses ASP.net Membership Provider. This web site will be served by a set of WCF services. I need to extract a profile variable from the user currently calling the service in the service layer. I am using wsHttpBinding and I am following below MSDN article.

how to use the ASP.NET Membership provider in WCF

Can anyone help me with client settings for this example?

Your client configuration should match the server config:

<configuration>
  <system.serviceModel>
       ...
       <bindings>
          <wsHttpBinding>
            <binding name="MembershipBinding">
              <security mode="Message">
                <message clientCredentialType="UserName" />
              </security>
            </binding>
          </wsHttpBinding>
        </bindings>
  </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

When you connect to your service you need to set the username and password on the client proxy:

    client.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "userName";
    client.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "password";
