  • 0

I’m trying to consume an IBM DataPower web service in WCF getting the following error message:

Cannot find a token authenticator for the ‘System.IdentityModel.Tokens.X509SecurityToken’ token type. Tokens of that type cannot be accepted according to current security settings.

The HTTP response is coming back as 200 and I can see the correct SOAP response while debugging it in Fiddler.

However, the WCF clients doesn’t seem to know how to process the BinarySecurityToken element in the SOAP response.

Here is my WCF config:

<client>
      <endpoint address="https://xxxx:6443/xxxx/xxxxx"

  binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="NewBinding0"

  contract="SoapPort" name="XXSoapPort" behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior">
      </endpoint>
    </client>

<customBinding>
        <binding name="NewBinding0">
          <security allowSerializedSigningTokenOnReply="true" authenticationMode="CertificateOverTransport" messageSecurityVersion="WSSecurity10WSTrustFebruary2005WSSecureConversationFebruary2005WSSecurityPolicy11BasicSecurityProfile10" requireDerivedKeys="false" securityHeaderLayout="Lax" />
          <textMessageEncoding messageVersion="Soap11" />

          <httpsTransport />
        </binding>
</customBinding>

 <behaviors>
      <endpointBehaviors>
        <behavior name="ServiceBehavior">
          <clientCredentials>
            <clientCertificate findValue="xxxxxx"   storeLocation="LocalMachine"  x509FindType="FindBySubjectName"  storeName="My"  />
          </clientCredentials>
        </behavior>
      </endpointBehaviors>
 </behaviors>

This is a SOAP request sample:

    Use “MutualCertificate” instead of “CertificateOverTransport”.
    This will require you to supply a service certificate – just configure any dummy certificate, even the same one as used for signature. Also you will get an exception on dns expected name which will tell you what to fix.

    Then try it once with allowSerializedSigningTokenOnReply true and once false.
    If this fails send me your config, the soap request you sent, and the response the server sent.
