Setup Wcf Service For Http And Https And Also Add Username / Password To Its Access?
Oct 25, 2010
I am kinda new to WCF and the setting up of service and have 2 questions. My first question I have a service that will be accessed via https on a web server. However locally on my local IIS7, it will be accessed via http as https is not available. How can I set up a service to be accessed by both?
My second question is regarding how I can set up a service that requires a username and password to be accessed. The service that I have in place I dont want methods within it to be accessed unless the calling application has the rights to do so?
Here is an example of the relevant area of my web.config file.
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<webHttpBinding>
<!-- standard AJAX binding that supports SSL -->
<binding name="TransportSecurity">
<security mode="Transport" />
[Code].....
In this config, the service is set up for http only and not username/password applied to it.
I am new to windows Phone 7 application. Here is my requirment that follows,
1/ I have web service created in php using http. (ex: http://abc.com/allservices/api.php?Task=getData&Email=ab1@abc.com&Password=1234)
2/ if i call that url i can get response in xml foramt.
3/ if I type this url in browser adddress bar with changes the http to https. the browser ask me to continue with this url. If i click this i can get the same response in xml format with certification error.
4/ once again i do the same step, this time the browser don't ask me to continue. I don't why.
5/ From my Windows Phone 7 application is working fine when I use http.
6/ If i change the url http to https I want to get the same xml.
7/ But i get only Server Not Found exception .
8/ Is there any posible way can I acess the web server using Https with Certification error..
we have a situation where we need to host two certificates on the same server and because we can't have two different certificates on the same server running off the same port we have assigned one certificate run through another port, which is 4443.
So the URL to our web app is now....
[URL]
If I punch this into a web browser I can access it fine, however, if I create a web reference using this URL in Visual Studio (2005) it can create the web reference fine and it builds ok. But whenever I call a web method on this service instance I get a HTTP 404 page not found Exception.
Is there any properties I need to set on the web service object to get this to work? I'm confused as to why it's not working.
I've recently enabled Digest Authentication on an intranet website/application I am creating for my company in ASP.NET.
The reason I have done so is because Windows Authentication seemed to only work for some users, and not for others. I could not figure out why nor do I know enough about IIS to try and trace the issue. After some trial and error, I found that digest authentication seemed to give me the behaviour that I wanted. That is: allow only users with a valid account on the domain to log in to the website with their credentials.
The problem now, is that Firefox (3+) seems to ask for the user to authenticate on every HTTP request sent to the server. This does not appear to occur in Internet Explorer (6+) or Chrome.
I've tried searching for solutions but I always arrive at dead-ends. I'll find a discussion about the issue, and every posted solution leads to a dead link...or it's on Experts Exchange and I don't have access to view to solution.
The issue appears to be related (from what I've read) to the way the different browsers send their authentication headers vs how IIS interprets them. I'm not sure what I can do to change this though? One of the solutions I had found mentioned writing an ISAPI filter to fix this, but of course the link to the finished filter was broken and I have no idea how to go about making one myself.
I've tried messing with the NTLM and other auth related strings in about:config to try and force Firefox to trust my server but that doesn't seem to work either.
From a few other sources I've read, it appears that everything should work if I switch back to Windows Authentication, but then I'm back at square one where the authentication would work only for some users and not others.
A solution for either problem would work for me, but I have very little information for the Windows Authentication issue. If someone could guide me through tracing the problem I'd gladly post more information for it as well.
I am developing a .net application using Web Services, and the application is consuming them using Spring.Net WebServiceProxyFactory. I need to send to the web service the username and password of the user that is logged in to the application, consuming the web service. Reading some forum post [URL] they seem to refer to an example that used to be in the spring documentation [URL], an example of how using SOAP headers for authentication using the WebServiceExporter and WebServiceProxyFactory, but the link to the file is broken. Do you know a way that I can send the user credentials as a soap header using spring.net? Or any data (for example, a token ID that the web service will use later to get the user credentials).
I have added a web reference using the wsdl file that was provided to me. I also created an instance from the proxy class as follows :
Code:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load Dim DLObj As New WebReference.DrivingLicenseInfoServiceService
But after this am totally confused on the next steps and how to pass username and password and test the service connectivity.I have attached the autogenerated code.
I was just trying to install Umraco CMS on my ASP.NET website. I am using the Web Platform installer from Ubraco http://umraco/downloadI pointed the CMS install to the local website folder where it was intended to be installed and specified to use an existing database for the same. It is asking for the some username and password for the Database access. Is there some default value of the these particulars for these because I never configured the username and password for my DB? (It is a MS SQL Database) Screenshot:[URL]
I have a folder with username and password over it.I wanna make a page where i can access files under that folders in .net and be able to download them.How to code that in VB.net?
In C# I need to connect to a database. How do I find out the username and password to use for that database? I know that sometimes the "sa" username can be used. I don't know how to find the password though. I am working on a contract and no DBA, and the developer left for a different job.
i redirect a page from http to https using http module begin request handler .i am calling webservice using ajax but it is saying webserice not defined .which otherwise works fineits work fine when rediect page in page_load instead .but i need to add function for https to http in every page. i still not know why ajax is not working when i use http module for redirect
URL...how we can sending formatted email now in my Login.aspx page i have Textbox that when users forget their password they should type their Username on the textbox and after that click on send button.I want when users click on send button their user name that they type in textbox be on the email that send to me .
I want to redirect http to https. I tried this one,but I have one problem, I have to redirect to another page. The request.url gives the current page, whereas I need to redirect to another page. How do I do that.
As part of a master page template, several sites include a login control. Since the site is served over HTTP, I want the login control, once a successful login has been achieved, to resolve to a portal served over HTTPS.The closest I've seen to achieve this may be here, but I'm not entirely clear on its implementation.Can I get some feedback or suggestions on this?Of course, a simple "Login" link on all pages that point to a login paged served over HTTPS is another solution, but this is not what I'm looking for.
I have a part of my website that uses SSL, and a part that does not. I began having issues recently where the link that takes you to the https part of the site would keep getting rerouted to http. In IIS I have SSL on and required for the members directory, and the certs are all fine. My site is http://mcsd-sc.mcbarons.manheimcentral.org/. I first started by routing the pages directly to the secure part using the <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=urlgoeshere" /> on a redirect page in the /members directory and this was working perfectly. When my issues started, changed it and made the link just go directly to the members part of the site with the https included in the URL (this is how it is now). Now when you click the link it takes you to the member page without using https, thus throwing an error because I have SSL required on that part of the site. When you look at the code in IE, it just shows the direct link using plain HTTP. When I open the code directly on the server, I see the URL beginning with HTTPS. I've been having a lot of issues lately with updated content not refreshing itself, and rebooting the server does nothing. At this point I'm stumped. I think it might be something in IIS, although I haven't touched it in a long time, unless a recent security update messed it up, which is the only explanation I can think of that would screw it up all of a sudden. The site works perfectly when you manually type https. I thought it might have also been my cache, but I just tried it on a computer that I haven't ever gone to the site on before and I got the same issue.
We are planning to move our website to https, which currently running on only http only. Web site is running on IIS7 in Windows 2008 server. Do I need to update/modify any configuration settings in the website to make it work on HTTPS? Is it fine just installing certifictes?
