WCF Service and Two-way SSL

I have seen this on before but I wasn't sure if that was going to work. However, I am looking into this and will get to you asap.

This isn't working. I am getting this when I try to add the reference:

There was no endpoint listening at https://192.168.0.4/TestService.svc that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action.

Any thoughts or ideas on how this could be resolved?

Server where WebService is web.config file.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0"/>
  </system.web>

  <system.serviceModel>

    <bindings>
      <wsHttpBinding>
        <binding name="TransportSecurity">
          <security mode="Transport">
            <transport clientCredentialType="Certificate"/>
          </security>
        </binding>
      </wsHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="behaviour">
          <serviceMetadata   httpsGetEnabled="true"/>
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
    <services>
      <service name="TestListService.ITestservice" behaviorConfiguration="behaviour">
        <endpoint binding="wsHttpBinding"
               contract="TestListService.ITestService"  bindingConfiguration="TransportSecurity">
        </endpoint>
        <!--<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding"
            name="MetadataBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>-->
       
      </service>
    </services>
   
  </system.serviceModel>
 
   <system.webServer>
    <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
  </system.webServer>

</configuration>

I had an site port that was "http" and I had the https. I got rid of the http one which just leave the https.

However, I now get this:

Service 'TestService' has zero application (non-infrastructure) endpoints. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no service element matching the service name could be found in the configuration file, or because no endpoints were defined in the service element.

Anybody have any information on what can cause that?

Ok, I got a little ways into this. I am able to seemingly get it so another server can access the Web Service. But now I'm getting this on an exception of calling one of the service methods.

The client certificate is not provided. specify a client certificate in clientcredentials.

I have the clientCredentials doing a FindByThumbnail and I am supplying the value of that thumbnail.

On the server even though I have the SSL using the certificate, I have in the web.config for it to use the servicecredential and using the FindByThumbnail on it and I have the Thumbnail of the certificate I applied with the SSL.

I have exported the SSL certificate from the server machine and I have imported it on the client machine.

I have expoerted the certificate from the client machine and I have imported it on the server machine.

I am still getting that cert issue on the client machine.

Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Anyone?

On the server side, you will set up the binding as https and specify the certificate you would be using.

On the client side, you just use https binding and you don't need to do anything about the certificate. It is same as browsing a https web site.

But with mutual-authentication wouldn't the client side  have to provide their certificate? As otherwise would it not just be one-way authentication?

Anybody have any information on this?

I know if I set the security mode to transport and the transport being clientCredentialingType of "Certificate", the Required SSL needs to be checked.

But I cannot then do a Add Service Reference in a C# client app because it says there service returns a "Forbidden".

Any info would be greatly appeciated.

Anybody have any thoughts or ideas on this one. I'm a little stumped.

Turns out this worked. Even though the technology is older working with what and how it processed ultimately lead to the solution.

Thanks!
