The provided URI scheme 'http' is invalid; expected 'net.tcp'. parameter name: via

Hi i am having an issue with a wpf app connecting to a wcf service. the service has a netTcpBinding and uses an http scheme and and if i try to connect to it using the netTcpBinding i get the error
The provided URI scheme 'http' is invalid; expected 'net.tcp'. parameter name: via
Here is the web config

<identity>
<userPrincipalName value="cssqaaspsvc#corp.fmglobal.com" />
</identity>
and code theres is a catch method afterwards but didn't see it being relavent
string address = "http://FinanceIccWS_5_0/IccService.svc?wsdl";
EndpointAddress endpointAddress = new EndpointAddress(address);
NetTcpBinding binding = new NetTcpBinding("netTcpBindingConfig");
try
{
var proxy = new CCServiceClient(binding,endpointAddress);
proxy.Open();
test.TestDetails = proxy.State.ToString();
test.TestPassed = true;
report.RetrievalStatus = RetrievalStatus.Succeeded;
report.ApplicationStatus = ApplicationStatus.Passed;
}
tried using protocol mapping but didn't seem to do anything
<protocolMapping>
<add scheme="http" binding="netTcpBinding" bindingConfiguration="netTcpBindingConfig"/>

Referenced name for my WCF service - Customers.svc or CustomersWcfDS.svc?

I have the following Visual Studio Web application structure:
CustomerManagement\

- Customers.aspx
- Customers.aspx.cs
- CustomersWcfDS.svc
- Default.aspx
- web.config
The following code is inside the <configuration> in the web.config file:
<system.serviceModel>

</client>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
I build the project and enter the following URL but there is no reactions.
http://localhost:1112/Services/Customers.svc
I also tried the following:
http://localhost:1112/Services/CustomersWcfDS.svc
and also
http://localhost:1110/Services/Customers.svc
and
http://localhost:1110/Services/CustomersWcfDS.svc
(The port 1110 was tested because of the Project Properties Port number was set to 1110.)
but it still fail to display something similar like the following illustration
So, is there any expert that can advise me where have my WCF service URL gone to?

Hi based on your image,
I think you have renamed the service name as Customers.svc . But still it refering to the previous one. What you can do is try to find the "SimpleService.svc" in your entire solution
and rename it as Customers.svc. If you have any problem put it as a comment.

How to configure WCF client binding when using X509 certificate?

I am trying to set the credentials in my WCF client as shown below.
ClientCredentials loginCredentials = new ClientCredentials();
loginCredentials.UserName.UserName = this.UserId;
loginCredentials.UserName.Password = this.Password;
loginCredentials.ClientCertificate.Certificate = new X509Certificate2(this.Certificate);
var defaultCredentials = channelFactory.Endpoint.Behaviors.Find<ClientCredentials>();
channelFactory.Endpoint.Behaviors.Remove(defaultCredentials);
channelFactory.Endpoint.Behaviors.Add(loginCredentials);
I have the wcf client binding setup as below.
<system.serviceModel>

I am receiving an error "The http request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'anonymous'. The authentication header received from the server was 'Basic realm=..."
The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.
Any help is appreciated. I am not sure what needs to be changed in the binding section of my app.config file. Thanks!

looks like your error could be in the Transport node
look at this MSDN page for the reference
here is an example.
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="TransportSecurity">
<security mode="Transport" />
<transport clientCredentialType = "Windows" />
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding >
or
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="MessageSecurity">
<security mode="Message" />
<message clientCredentialType = "Certificate" />
</security>
</binding>

wcf adding issue?

I'm working with N-tier architecture. I have a WCF service in a hosting layer. I added services file successfully in here.
Problem is when I add the service in an application. It adds the service to the project successfully, but when I call the service I can't call it from my application class but when I rebuild project I haven't any issue.
On the other hand if I add the same service to another project I haven't a problem and everything is ok.
Has anyone encountered this?

WCF Service with large parameters

I've looked at a number of similar topics on SO, but haven't found one that helps with this.
Have a WCF service that takes in XML to process. The XML file I'm reading from is ~600K.
The call works for small xml files (most of the time), but on the larger files I get the error:
System.ServiceModel.Security.MessageSecurityException:
An unsecured or incorrectly secured fault was received from the other party. See the inner FaultException for the fault code and detail.
where the inner exception is:
System.ServiceModel.FaultException:
The message could not be processed. This is most likely because the action 'http://tempuri.org/ISapListener/ProcessSapRoles' is incorrect or because the message contains an invalid or expired security context token or because there is a mismatch between bindings. The security context token would be invalid if the service aborted the channel due to inactivity. To prevent the service from aborting idle sessions prematurely increase the Receive timeout on the service endpoint's binding.
Like I say... it works for small files, and my open, send, receive, close, and inactivity timeouts are all set to 10 minutes. It fails in about 20-30 seconds.
Also, the clock on the server and client are perfectly in sync (I've seen that posted as an answer).
My config files as they currently stand (I've played with a lot of settings):

I do have tracing enabled on the service, but I can't make sense out of the log files.
Other exceptions I've received while playing with the config settings:
System.ServiceModel.Security.SecurityNegotiationException
Secure channel cannot be opened because security negotiation with the remote endpoint has failed.
and
System.ServiceModel.ServiceActivationException
The requested service, 'http://../SapListener.svc' could not be activated.

If you think being able to make sense out of log files will help here, use svcTraceViewer. Just make sure you've actually set up tracing correctly. I have an article on my blog about this.
svcTraveViewer Debugging WCF Services
As regards large payloads, you may want to take a look at this MSDN article.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733742.aspx
In particular Streaming Data.

System.ServiceModel.ServiceActivationException
The requested service, 'http://../SapListener.svc' could not be activated.
This could be a compilation error ou invalid configuration.
Is it WCF 4.0? Then you could remove your custom configuration and use automatic bindings. I also suggest you to try a binding other than wsHttpBinding, like basicHttpBinding.

I was able to get this to work with the following configuration:
Server:
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="wsHttpBinding_Custom"
closeTimeout="00:10:00"
openTimeout="00:10:00"
receiveTimeout="00:10:00"
sendTimeout="00:10:00"
maxReceivedMessageSize="2097152"
bypassProxyOnLocal="false" transactionFlow="false"
hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
maxBufferPoolSize="2097152" messageEncoding="Text"
textEncoding="utf-8" useDefaultWebProxy="true" allowCookies="false">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxBytesPerRead="4096"
maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
<reliableSession ordered="true" inactivityTimeout="00:10:00" enabled="false" />
<security mode="Message">
<transport clientCredentialType="Windows" proxyCredentialType="None"
realm="" />
<message clientCredentialType="Windows" negotiateServiceCredential="true"
algorithmSuite="Default" />
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
Client:
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="WSHttpBinding_ISapListener1" closeTimeout="00:10:00"
openTimeout="00:10:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:10:00"
bypassProxyOnLocal="false" transactionFlow="false"
hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
maxBufferPoolSize="2097152"
maxReceivedMessageSize="2097152"
messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" useDefaultWebProxy="true"
allowCookies="false">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxBytesPerRead="4096"
maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
<reliableSession ordered="true" inactivityTimeout="00:10:00"
enabled="false" />
<security mode="Message">
<transport clientCredentialType="Windows" proxyCredentialType="None"
realm="" />
<message clientCredentialType="Windows" negotiateServiceCredential="true"
algorithmSuite="Default" />
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
The only difference I can see is that I bumped up the maxReceivedMessageSize and maxBufferPoolSize... maybe I'm missing something else? If that was the issue, then the problem was that my overhead for the call was adding an additional 400+K to the 600K xml data I was sending

If possible and acceptable to client, you can break down the file into smaller chunks and send across, provided you don't have digital certificate etc and sorting options at client side.
