WCF: Passing AD-credentials

Jesper Lund Stocholm

I have the following requirements:

a. Have a WCF-service hosted on IIS (6.0)
b. Pass user's AD-credentials to the WCF-service
c. NOT use SSL/HTTPS

So in IIS I have disabled anonymous access and specified "integrated
Windows authentication" .

I have tried to use wsHttpBinding, but as far as I can figure out,
wsHttpBinding with security mode "TransportWithM essageCredentia l" demands
HTTPS.

Is this correct?

My service is configured as

<service behaviorConfigu ration="BLST.Da taService.WCF.B WServiceBehavio r"
name="BLST.Data Service.WCF.BWS ervice"

>

<endpoint address=""
binding="wsHttp Binding"
bindingConfigur ation="ADCreden tialsBinding"
contract="BLST. DataService.WCF .IBWService"

>

<identity>
<dns value="localhos t" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex"
binding="mexHtt pBinding"
contract="IMeta dataExchange"/>
<host>
<baseAddresse s>
<add
baseAddress="ht tp://localhost:8731/Design_Time_Add resses/BLST.DataServic e
..WCF/BWService/" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>
</service>

My binding "ADCredentialsB inding" is defined as

<bindings>
<wsHttpBindin g>
<binding name="ADCredent ialsBinding">
<security mode="Transport WithMessageCred ential">
<transport clientCredentia lType="Windows"/>
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>

The funny thing is that when I look at the WSDL generated by my
service.svc, it is (the last part, anyway)

<wsdl:service name="BWService ">
<wsdl:port
name="WSHttpBin ding_IBWService "
binding="tns:WS HttpBinding_IBW Service">
<soap12:addre ss
location="https ://dkljessto.denma rk.ecsoft/WCF/servicehost.svc "/>
<wsa10:Endpoint Reference><wsa1 0:Address>
https://dkljessto.denma rk.ecsoft/WCF/servicehost.svc </wsa10:Address>
<Identity
xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap .org/ws/2006/02/addressingident ity">
<Dns>localhos t</Dns>
</Identity>
</wsa10:EndpointR eference>
</wsdl:port>
</wsdl:service>

(notice the small 's' in the protocol-prefix of
https://mymachine.denmark.myaddomain...ervicehost.svc)

Is my understanding correct - and if it is - which binding should I turn
to instead?

Architecture Question: WCF service using Profile provider

by: Steven Nagy | last post by:

Hi all, I want to know if it is possible to have a WCF service hosted in IIS (.svc) that uses the provider model in .Net? Ideally, I'd like the WCF service methods to detect the user's AD user name automatically (ie not passed as a parameter in the method) such that it uses trusted authentication. The service then access profile information via the profile provider. In ASP.NET pages this is easy. You can simply do:
