Question

I’m new at using WCF with secure services.

I’m trying to connect to a java webservice with secure HTTPS transport and it uses WS-Security UsernamePassword Token Authentication.

I’ve trying to connect with WCF client using the following binding with no luck.

<bindings>
  <wsHttpBinding>
    <binding name="OperationsEndpoint1Binding" closeTimeout="00:01:00"
        openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"
        allowCookies="false" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
        maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="1015536"
        messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8"
        useDefaultWebProxy="true">

      <readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384"
          maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />

        <security  mode="TransportWithMessageCredential">
          <transport clientCredentialType="None" proxyCredentialType="None" realm="" />
          <message clientCredentialType="UserName" algorithmSuite="Default" />
      </security>
    </binding>
  </wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>

Does anyone have a solution to connecting to java webservice HTTPS transport and use WS-Security UsernamePassword Token Authentication much appreciated.

Answer 1

The solution was not to use WCF. Instead I created a web request something along the lines of Http request to web service in java which worked.

I still haven’t found anything in WCF which supports this kinda request.
