WCF UserName & Password validation using wshttpbinding notworking

I am new to WCF Service authentication, I was trying to achieve wcfauthentication using wshttpbinding. but i am getting below exception.
Could not find a base address that matches scheme https for the endpoint with binding WSHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [http].

Can someone correct me, where i am committing mistake, thanks in advance.

The problem here is that you are using a WSHttpBinding with Transport Security, but the base address you set is http. It is not possible to work with http here, because you are sending credentials over the wire.
Either change it to https, or create a second binding configuration for development purposes. One with Transport Security (https), and a second without (http).
Also make sure that your clients binding matches the binding from your server.

As Marc mentioned, we are supposed to provide a certificate when hosting the service. there might be something amiss during the process of hosting the service.
Here is a reference configuration, wish it is useful to you.
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="wsHttp">
<security mode="TransportWithMessageCredential">
<message clientCredentialType="UserName"/>
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<services>
<service name="WCFAuth.Service1" behaviorConfiguration="wsHttpBehavior">
<endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="wsHttp" contract="WCFAuth.IService1">
</endpoint>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="wsHttpBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
<serviceCredentials>
<userNameAuthentication userNamePasswordValidationMode="Custom" customUserNamePasswordValidatorType="WCFAuth.ServiceAuthanticator, WCFAuth"/>
</serviceCredentials>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
</system.serviceModel>
Then we should add a https binding in IIS Site Bindings module.
The service address would be https://x.x.x.x:8865/Service1.svc
One thing must be noted that we should trust the service certificate when we call the service by adding service reference.
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += delegate
{
return true;
};
ServiceReference2.Service1Client client = new ServiceReference2.Service1Client();
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "jack";
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "123456";
Besides, if we use SecurityMode.Message, we are supposed to provide a certificate in code snippets.
<serviceCredentials>
<serviceCertificate storeLocation="LocalMachine" storeName="My" x509FindType="FindByThumbprint" findValue="869f82bd848519ff8f35cbb6b667b34274c8dcfe"/>
<userNameAuthentication customUserNamePasswordValidatorType="WcfService1.CustUserNamePasswordVal,WcfService1" userNamePasswordValidationMode="Custom"/>
</serviceCredentials>
Feel free to let me know if there is anything I can help with.

Unable to use my WebService ad Connected Service

I created a webService with Basic Authentication (using this tutorial).
There is my web.config :
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="UsernameWithTransportCredentialOnly">
<security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">
<transport clientCredentialType="Basic"/>
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="RequestUserNameConfig">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/>
<serviceCredentials>
<userNameAuthentication
userNamePasswordValidationMode="Custom"
customUserNamePasswordValidatorType="MyInterface.CredentialsChecker,App_Code.CredentialsChecker"/>
</serviceCredentials>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="RequestUserNameConfig" name="MyInterface.MyService">
<endpoint
address="https://localhost:47336/MyService.svc"
binding="basicHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="UsernameWithTransportCredentialOnly"
name="BasicEndpoint"
contract="MyInterface.IMyService">
</endpoint>
</service>
</services>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true"
multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="false" />
</system.serviceModel>
A folder App_Code contains file CredentialsChecker.cs with this code :
namespace MyInterface
{
public class CredentialsChecker : UserNamePasswordValidator
{
public override void Validate(string userName, string password)
{
/* ... Some Code ... */
}
}
}
I created a project that I want to use to test my Web Service. But When I want to add the service as service reference, I got the error :
The provided URI scheme 'https' is invalid; expected 'http'.
Did I miss something in my web service ?

Your UsernameWithTransportCredentialOnly is of type basicHttpBinding. So you need to specify an endpoint that supports the binding. Either Change your address to http, or change the binding to wsHttp
<endpoint
address="http://localhost:47336/MyService.svc"
binding="basicHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="UsernameWithTransportCredentialOnly"
name="BasicEndpoint"
contract="MyInterface.IMyService">
</endpoint>

WCF - Multiple Endpoints for REST and SOAP

I am trying to code a WCF service with both REST and SOAP endpoints. I was initially using "TransportCredentialOnly" for the SOAP endpoints. As I started to add REST endpoints...I am using a third party OAUTH 1.0 class to provide security to the REST Service.
With the "TransportCredentialOnly" authentication, I had to enable "Windows Authentication" on the IIS Website Application.
The issue I am having is that the REST calls come back with a "Authentication failed" as IIS is expecting an initial authentication to happen with Windows Credentials before hitting the REST Endpoint.
I enabled "Anonymous Authentication" on the IIS application but still be prompted for Windows Credentials before proceeding.
Is there anyway to keep the "Windows Authentication" scheme for SOAP calls and have Anonymous authentication on the REST endpoints (which will proceed to use OAuth 1.0)? I don't really want to separate this out into two projects/services as some of the functions/methods/classes are universal between the SOAP and REST calls.
Here is my web config so far of attempts:

10-20-2015 Update: I applied a new config to use serviceAuthorization in the web.config file
<service name="service name" behaviorConfiguration="Oauth">
<endpoint address="service address"
binding ="webHttpBinding"
behaviorConfiguration="restBehavior"
contract ="service contract">
</endpoint>
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="base address"/>
</baseAddresses>
</host>
</service>
<behavior name="Oauth">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
<serviceAuthorization serviceAuthorizationManagerType="Assembly.OAuthAuthorizationManager,Assembly" />
</behavior>
Here is the OAuthorizationManager Class:
public class OAuthAuthorizationManager : ServiceAuthorizationManager
{
protected override bool CheckAccessCore(OperationContext operationContext)
{
bool Authenticated = false;
string normalizedUrl;
string normalizedRequestParameters;
base.CheckAccessCore(operationContext);
// to get the httpmethod
HttpRequestMessageProperty requestProperty = (HttpRequestMessageProperty)(operationContext.RequestContext.RequestMessage).Properties[HttpRequestMessageProperty.Name];
string httpmethod = requestProperty.Method;
// HttpContext.Current is null, so forget about it
// HttpContext context = HttpContext.Current;
NameValueCollection pa = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(operationContext.IncomingMessageProperties.Via.Query);
if (pa != null && pa["oauth_consumer_key"] != null)
{
// to get uri without oauth parameters
string uri = operationContext.IncomingMessageProperties
.Via.OriginalString.Replace
(operationContext.IncomingMessageProperties
.Via.Query, "");
string consumersecret = "secret";
OAuthBase oauth = new OAuthBase();
string hash = oauth.GenerateSignature(
new Uri(uri),
pa["oauth_consumer_key"],
consumersecret,
null, // totken
null, //token secret
httpmethod,
pa["oauth_timestamp"],
pa["oauth_nonce"],
out normalizedUrl,
out normalizedRequestParameters
);
Authenticated = pa["oauth_signature"] == hash;
}
return Authenticated;
}
}

There is a workable solution to have a REST based WCF service hosted in IIS can use its own custom Basic Authentication. You can easily send back a response header to challenge for Basic Authentication credentials, and just have IIS wired up to "Anonymous Authentication." In this case IIS will only take care of Hosting and that's it.
Create a custom Authorization manager class that inherits from ServiceAuthorizationManager and configure this to your service.
public class RestAuthorizationManager : ServiceAuthorizationManager
{
protected override bool CheckAccessCore(OperationContext operationContext)
{
//Extract the Authorization header, and parse out the credentials converting the Base64 string:
var authHeader = WebOperationContext.Current.IncomingRequest.Headers["Authorization"];
if ((authHeader != null) && (authHeader != string.Empty))
{
var svcCredentials = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII
.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String(authHeader.Substring(6)))
.Split(':');
var user = new { Name = svcCredentials[0], Password = svcCredentials[1] };
if ((user.Name == "user1" && user.Password == "test"))
{
//User is authrized and originating call will proceed
return true;
}
else
{
//not authorized
return false;
}
}
else
{
//No authorization header was provided, so challenge the client to provide before proceeding:
WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingResponse.Headers.Add("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"MyWCFService\"");
//Throw an exception with the associated HTTP status code equivalent to HTTP status 401
throw new WebFaultException(HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized);
}
}
}
Add the above custom authorization manager to configuration:
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="SecureRESTSvcTestBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="false" httpsGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceAuthorization serviceAuthorizationManagerType="WcfRestAuthentication.Services.Api.RestAuthorizationManager, WcfRestAuthentication"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
Apply above behavior to only REST End points. Now IIS won't have control of any authorization here anymore. Make sure you use SSL certificate to secure the creds from being sent as plain text.

Upload Image from iOS to WCF, error 415(unsupported media)

I'm trying to upload a photo taken by the iphone to the WCF RESTful server, i've looked all over the web for examples and other answers around the issue, but i can't give with the solution.
The app is written in iOS6, and i'm using AFNetworking 2.0 to upload the image. As in the simulator the camera doesn't work, i've been trying with a library photo. I think the problem is in format differences, WCF is requesting for a Stream parameter, and i don't know how AFNetworking is sending the info...
Here is the WCF code:
[WebInvoke(Method = "POST", UriTemplate = "FileUpload")]
public void FileUpload(Stream stream)
{
try
{
byte[] buffer = new byte[10000];
stream.Read(buffer, 0, 10000);
FileStream f = new FileStream("C:\\temp\\sample.jpg", FileMode.OpenOrCreate);
f.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
f.Close();
stream.Close();
System.Console.WriteLine("Recieved the image on server");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("ERROR: " + e.ToString());
}
}
iOS code:
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
NSDictionary *parameters = #{#"foo": #"bar"};
NSURL *filePath = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:#"Users/juan/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/6.1/Media/DCIM/100APPLE/IMG_0001.JPG"];
[manager POST:#"http://192.168.2.3:8732/wave/FileUpload" parameters:parameters constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id<AFMultipartFormData> formData) {
[formData appendPartWithFileURL:filePath name:#"image" error:nil];
} success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(#"Success: %#", responseObject);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
}];
Testing the web service in fiddler, it throws the same error by sending an image, 415 unsupported media.
I let the app.config of the server:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="2097151"
useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="true"
executionTimeout="14400" />
</system.web>
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="WcfJsonRestService.waveWS">
<endpoint address="http://localhost:8732/wave"
binding="wsHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="wsHttp"
contract="WcfJsonRestService.IWaveWS"/>
</service>
</services>
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="wsHttp" maxReceivedMessageSize ="50000000" messageEncoding="Mtom" maxBufferPoolSize="50000000" >
<readerQuotas maxArrayLength="50000000" />
<security mode="None" />
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
</system.serviceModel>

Any idea or suggestion how to solve this?

Secure WCF service in IIS using certificates

I want to secure a service application in WCF 4, using a selfsigned certificate (generated by inetmgr).
But, I can't. When I call a method of the service, I have a MessageSecurityException:
