I have to use WindowsGroups authentication for one endpoint of my service(named pipe) and also a custom user name authentication for another (wsHttpBinding, just like in your article). How would I go about configuring my service?

Thanks

Did all the above and I still get the helpful innerexception “An error occurred when verifying security for the message.” Yeah, thanks for that.

I’ve spent DAYS reading articles like this and trying to add custom username and password authentication to my service. WCF, the wonderful show pony that makes this all so easy, is an incomprehensible mess. This is all far more complex than it needs to be. It needs a wizard or a generator or something.

Thanks for the article, it’s really very clear and well done. I don’t expect you to be my support line, just needed to rant

Thanks. (I understood most of it already, and was given the last piece earlier today.)

This entry, even though it is nearing two years old, is very relevant and helpful!

Hello Rich,

You might take a look at this article: http://en.csharp-online.net/WCF_Essentials%E2%80%94Programmatic_Client_Configuration

I think that gives you a clue on how to configure your WCF endpoint using C#

In terms of the client proxy setup, I would like to create the new endpoint behaviour in C#, and not define it in app.config. Do you have a pointer to how to do that?

Hey…this actually works!

I’ve read so many articles on trying to get this setup just for development purposes, I was beginning to pull my hair out.

So, thanks a million!

I generated the certificate, then when I run your app I get:

“Security negotiation failed because the remote party did not send back a reply”

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks

anyhow, I just realized that for a client to use my WPF application over the internet, they would need to have a certain port open for my callbacks? Are there any way to automate this through code when the client downloads the WPF app?

I did try changing ports but that didn’t change anything. I changed it to use 8000 using the httpNamespaceManager

I think the AddressAlreadyInUseException is caused by the fact that another application is already listening on port 80 of that specific address. My best guess is IIS. Did you try changing ports?
