WCF : Client > Endpoint > Error : Invalid URI on working URL

I am setting up a WCF Selfhosted solution to use as a WCF Router and am having a little trouble in getting the service started.
The application code is
public class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
ServiceHost routingHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(RoutingService));
routingHost.Open();
Console.WriteLine("Routing Service is running");
Console.WriteLine("Press [Enter] to exit");
Console.ReadLine();
routingHost.Close();
}
}
and the App.Config Services Section is
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="System.ServiceModel.Routing.RoutingService">
<endpoint address="net.tcp://localhost:8009/proposalRouter"
binding="netTcpBinding"
contract="System.ServiceModel.Routing.IRequestReplyRouter"
name="proposalRouter" />
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>

<routing filterTableName="proposalRoutingTable" />

</behaviors>

</filterTable>
</filterTables>
</routing>
<client>
<endpoint address="http://localhost:64434/ProposalService.svc"
binding="basicHttpBinding"
contract="*"
name="defaultProposalService"/>
</client>
The error given is :
Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined.
The issue I have narrowed down to client > endpoint but that is the uri of the svc do not sure what the issue is
I would be grateful if someone could show me where I have gone wrong.

The filter in your configuration file is wrong. When the value of filtertype is address, the filterdata should be a URI.
So your filter should look like this:
<filters>
<filter name="proposalFilter" filterType="EndpointAddress" filterData="net.tcp://localhost:8009/proposalRouter"/>
</filters>
For more information about FilterData Property,Please refer to the following link:

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].

I am getting attached exception when i try to browser svc file.
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.

Customizing ServiceAuthorizationManager for WCF Issue

I have created custom ServiceAuthorizationManager as "CustomUserNamePasswordValidator" for my WCF project. below is the snippet of my project. I want my wcf to call up this authorication class before it actually start calling on WCF API but this is not happening. My "Login" WCF API is calling paraller to this authorization class. so when there is call by client to Login it calls both
"CustomUserNamePasswordValidator" and Login method simultaneously.
Authorization Class
public class CustomUserNamePasswordValidator : ServiceAuthorizationManager
{
HttpRequestMessageProperty httpProperties;
string operationName;
protected override bool CheckAccessCore(OperationContext operationContext)
{
operationName = GetOperationName(operationContext);
httpProperties = (HttpRequestMessageProperty)operationContext.IncomingMessageProperties["httpRequest"];
string authHeader = httpProperties.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.Authorization];
string subno = string.Empty;
string password = string.Empty;
string version = string.Empty;
string credntialType = string.Empty;
string[] credentials = authHeader.Split(':');
credntialType = credentials[0];
password = credentials[1];
if (!AuthorizeUser(password))
{
throw new ArgumentException("401:Token invalid or expired.(0x000)");
}
}
}
private int AuthenticateUser(string subno, string pin, string version)
{
}
}

The reason why your solution doesn't work is that CustomUserNamePasswordValidator can't be used in a RESTful service. Take a look at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa354513(v=vs.110).aspx
The example uses SOAP and defines the behaviour of the endpoint which activates serviceAuthorization tag. If you don't define the security of the endpoint the serviceAuthorization simply won't work.
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<!-- username binding -->
<binding name="Binding">
<security mode="Message">
<message clientCredentialType="UserName" />
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
In a RESTful service there is no SecurityMode = Message, there are only 3: None/Transport/TransportCredentialOnly. Read on about it here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb924478(v=vs.110).aspx
clientCredentialType="UserName" is only available in Message.
You can try defining the endpoint security mode to: Transport and then the credential type to: Basic/Certificate/Digest/None/Ntlm/Windows, but seeing as your solution is none of these not sure how well that will work.
There is (I think) a better way of doing authentication if you are extracting headers and not using any "approved" way. Try implementing an extension service: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.servicemodel.dispatcher.iparameterinspector(v=vs.110).aspx
Good Luck!

Uploading large files from android to c# WCF Rest Service

Secure WCF service in IIS using certificates

I want to secure a service application in WCF 4, using a selfsigned certificate (generated by inetmgr).
