WCF HTTPS Service Configuration with CustomBinding

Question

I needed to configure the WCF service binding so that I could pass the raw content to the WCFRest service. Works great, but I can't get it to accept transport-level security. I want https and basicauthentication, as I use elsewhere. The end point is as follows:

<endpoint address="" behaviorConfiguration="web" contract="SmsService.ISmsReceive" binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="RawReceiveCapable"></endpoint> 

customBinding looks like this:

  <customBinding> <binding name="RawReceiveCapable"> <security mode="Transport"> <transport clientCredentialType="Basic"/> </security> <webMessageEncoding webContentTypeMapperType="SmsService.RawContentTypeMapper, SmsService, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" /> <httpTransport manualAddressing="true" maxReceivedMessageSize="524288000" transferMode="Streamed" /> </binding> </customBinding> 

but the system complains that the mode attribute is not allowed in node security. Without node security, everything works fine, but not https.

thanks

It seems to me that you need to drop the <security> element and then change the httpTransport element to httpsTransport, as shown in the following example:

 <system.serviceModel> <bindings> <customBinding> <binding name="RawReceiveCapable"> <webMessageEncoding webContentTypeMapperType="SmsService.RawContentTypeMapper, SmsService, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" /> <httpsTransport authenticationScheme="Basic" manualAddressing="true" maxReceivedMessageSize="524288000" transferMode="Streamed" /> </binding> </customBinding> </bindings>
