Username and Password

Hi

I have a very basic WCF service over basicHttpBinding with SSL. I can send
a request and have the service send back the response - that works.

I need to send with the request a user name and password. In the proxy code
if I the following:

using (MessageProcessor messageProcessor = new MessageProcessor()) {
messageProcessor.Credentials = new
NetworkCredential("hello", "world");
messageProcessor.ProcessMessage("tester");
}

I'm having troubles pulling out the credentials information in the service
method (ProcessMessage). Any ideas?

What security mode does this use?

I don't know if it is the same, but for TransportWithMessageCredential
I use following:

Under WCF, there should be a ClientCredentials.UserName property
[denotes the security-mode], with subproperties of UserName and
Password.

The WCF service will need to designate a UserNamePasswordValidator
(verifies passwords) and possibly an IAuthorizationPolicy (provides
role membership information).

In configuration, you'll need something like:

<security mode="TransportWithMessageCredential">
<transport clientCredentialType="None"/>
<message clientCredentialType="UserName"
negotiateServiceCredential="false" establishSecurityContext="false"/>
</security>

<!--snip-->

<serviceCredentials>
<userNameAuthentication
userNamePasswordValidationMode="Custom" cacheLogonTokens="true"

customUserNamePasswordValidatorType="MyValidatorClass,
MyValidatorAssembly [long version]"/>
<windowsAuthentication allowAnonymousLogons="false"/>
</serviceCredentials>
<serviceAuthorization
impersonateCallerForAllOperations="false"
principalPermissionMode="Custom">
<authorizationPolicies>
<add policyType="MyPolicyClass, MyPolicyAssembly [long
version]" />
</authorizationPolicies>
</serviceAuthorization>

The validator would look something like:

internal sealed class TokenValidator : UserNamePasswordValidator
{
public override void Validate(string userName, string
password)
{
...
}
}


Any use?

Hi Marc

Thanks for the reply.

This was my configuration on the server-side:

<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="basicHttpBindingConfiguration">
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="Basic"/>
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>

My client is not a WCF client and will use the WSDL of the service. I have
yet to find an example of https and custom user name password credentials for
a non-WCF client. If you have one I'd be most gratful.

Ah, no; sorry
