Convert wsHttpBinding to customBinding

Question

How do I convert the following wsHttpBinding to a customBinding? I need to so this so I can increase the clock skew. This is for http.

Answer 1

Check this solution. It creates a custom binding via code, mofifies its clock skew, and sets it as the binding to use. (source: http://sandrinodimattia.net/blog/posts/wcf-and-fixing-clienthost-time-issues-maxclockskew-quickly/)

ServiceHost service = new ServiceHost(typeof(Calculator));
Binding currentBinding = service.Description.Endpoints[0].Binding;

// Set the maximum difference in minutes
int maxDifference = 300;
// Create a custom binding based on an existing binding
CustomBinding myCustomBinding = new CustomBinding(currentBinding);
// Set the maxClockSkew
var security = myCustomBinding.Elements.Find();
security.LocalClientSettings.MaxClockSkew = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(maxDifference);
security.LocalServiceSettings.MaxClockSkew = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(maxDifference);
// Set the maxClockSkew
var secureTokenParams = (SecureConversationSecurityTokenParameters)security.ProtectionTokenParameters;
var bootstrap = secureTokenParams.BootstrapSecurityBindingElement;
bootstrap.LocalClientSettings.MaxClockSkew = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(maxDifference);
bootstrap.LocalServiceSettings.MaxClockSkew = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(maxDifference);

// Update the binding of the endpoint
service.Description.Endpoints[0].Binding = myCustomBinding;
