There is a WCF I created on the server, running.

And I built an application that connects this url. This is an exe that can be run in every PC.
The thing that I want, only this app can see this WCF, and can use its utilities, the others can see nothing, no url , no reference, no wsdl of the web service.

How can I create this environment..?

    As you’re using WCF web services, you can remove the <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" /> elements from your <system.serviceModel> <services> <service> elements to prevent requests for metadata being honoured.

    The problem with what you’re after is:

    • Anyone can use something like Fiddler to intercept your web service requests and inspect them. You could use HTTPS to make this harder
    • Anyone can disassemble your code to see what it’s doing, retrieve URLs and see what the methods are that your web service exposes.
