While accessing WCF service from a test client, I am getting following exception:
System.ServiceModel.Security.MessageSecurityException: An unsecured or incorrectly secured fault was received from the other party. See the inner FaultException for the fault code and detail. ---> System.ServiceModel.FaultException: An error occurred when verifying security for the message.
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---
I searched on internet the root cause of this problem. I found that this is mostly caused due to client-server time difference. But I was unable to find the correct solution to it. Following is my server side configuration:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="RequestUserName">
<security mode="Message">
<message clientCredentialType="Windows" negotiateServiceCredential="true" establishSecurityContext="true" />
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<services>
<service name="WCFService.Service1" behaviorConfiguration="WCFService.Service1Behavior">
<!-- Service Endpoints -->
<endpoint address="http://subdomain.domain.com/service1.svc" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="WCFService.IService1" bindingName="RequestUserName">
</endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="WCFService.Service1Behavior">
<!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false before deployment -->
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="false" />
<!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, set the value below to true. Set to false before deployment to avoid disclosing exception information -->
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment>
<baseAddressPrefixFilters>
<add prefix="http://subdomain.domain.com/"/>
</baseAddressPrefixFilters>
</serviceHostingEnvironment>
and Client Side Configuration:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="RequestUserName_IService1" />
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="http://subdomain.domain.com/service1.svc" binding="wsHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="RequestUserName_IService1" contract="ServiceReference1.IService1"
name="RequestUserName_IService1">
<identity>
<userPrincipalName value="DOMAIN\subdomaincom_web" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
Anyone please help me find the solution to this problem.
UPDATE: When I traced the exception, the inner exception is showing this The security timestamp is stale because its expiration time ('2013-08-21T11:17:39.482Z') is in the past. Current time is '2013-08-21T12:31:31.897Z' and allowed clock skew is '00:05:00'.
My server uses UTC format and my client is a general purpose application that can be downloaded from any country.
UPDATE 2: Config after answer:
<system.serviceModel>
