Enable SSL for my WCF service

by

This page on MSDN explains WCF Binding Security.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms729700.aspx

The BasicHttpBinding class is
primarily used to interoperate with
existing Web services, and many of
those services are hosted by Internet
Information Services (IIS).
Consequently, the transport security
for this binding is designed for
seamless interoperation with IIS
sites. This is done by setting the
security mode to Transport and then
setting the client credential type.
The credential type values correspond
to IIS directory security mechanisms.
The following code shows the mode
being set and the credential type set
to Windows. You can use this
configuration when both client and
server are on the same Windows domain.

C#

BasicHttpBinding b = new BasicHttpBinding();
b.Security.Mode = BasicHttpSecurityMode.Transport ;
b.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.Windows;

Or, in configuration:

<bindings>   
   <basicHttpBinding>
            <binding name="SecurityByTransport">
               <security mode="Transport">
                 <transport clientCredentialType="Windows" />
                </security>
            </binding>   
   </basicHttpBinding> 
</bindings>

To enable ssl, without a login, set clientCredentialType to “None”.

Options for security mode are:

None, Transport, Message, TransportWithMessageCredential and TransportCredentialOnly
