Https binding in WCF throws error

Question

I have a WCF service that needs to hosted using basicHttpBinding using SSL. So my team has installed a SSL certificate with Anonymous authentication enabled and a hardcoded username and password given in IIS. I tried giving this binding

 <binding name="SecurityByTransport">
               <security mode="Transport">
                 <transport clientCredentialType="Windows" />
                </security>
            </binding>

But it still doesnt work. I get this error "Could not find a base address that matches scheme http for the endpoint with binding BasicHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [https]. "

ServiceModel section:

 <system.serviceModel>
<diagnostics>
  <messageLogging logEntireMessage="true" logMalformedMessages="true" logMessagesAtTransportLevel="true" />
</diagnostics>
<bindings>
  <customBinding>
    <binding name="netTcp">
      <binaryMessageEncoding>
        <readerQuotas maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxDepth="64" />
      </binaryMessageEncoding>
      <security authenticationMode="UserNameOverTransport" />
      <windowsStreamSecurity />
      <tcpTransport portSharingEnabled="true" maxBufferPoolSize="52428800" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="2147483647" />
    </binding>
  </customBinding>

  <basicHttpBinding>
    <binding name="Https">
      <security mode="Transport">

      </security>
    </binding>
  </basicHttpBinding>

</bindings>
<behaviors>
  <serviceBehaviors>
    <behavior name ="Https">

      <serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="true"/>

      <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
      <serviceCredentials>
        <userNameAuthentication userNamePasswordValidationMode="Custom" customUserNamePasswordValidatorType="Asi.Soa.ServiceModelEx.NullUserNamePasswordValidator, Asi.Soa.ServiceModelEx" />
        <clientCertificate>
          <authentication certificateValidationMode="None" />
        </clientCertificate>
      </serviceCredentials>
      <serviceAuthorization principalPermissionMode="Custom">
        <authorizationPolicies>
          <add policyType="Asi.Soa.ServiceModelEx.ClaimsAuthorizationPolicy, Asi.Soa.ServiceModelEx" />
        </authorizationPolicies>
      </serviceAuthorization>
      <exceptionShielding/>
    </behavior>


  </serviceBehaviors>
  <endpointBehaviors>
    <behavior name="SoapBehavior">

    </behavior>
    <behavior name="RestBehavior">

    </behavior>
    <behavior name="AjaxBehavior">
      <enableWebScript />
    </behavior>
  </endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<services>


  <service name="Asi.Soa.Core.Services.EntityService" >
    <endpoint address="https://10.42.150.122/imis15/EntityService.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="Asi.Soa.Core.ServiceContracts.IEntityService"
       bindingConfiguration="Https" />
  </service>

</services>

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Can you post the serviceModel section completely to help you out? — Rajesh, Jun 27 '12 at 08:40

Try to add to service behavior setting

      <serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="true"/>

Also you should check that endpoind has a setting

      bindingConfiguration="SecurityByTransport"

Solved it by adding HttpsGetEnabled=true and HttpGetEnabled = false; Thanks all. – Deefa Jun 28 '12 at 06:06

If you are hosting your service in IIS, please try to remove the http binding from the site bindings.

Since you are using the web service on IIS, use HTTPS binding for it considering that you are using SSL certificate.
