Is it possible to determine a WCF binding configuration from the SOAP envelope?

Question

I\'ve generated a WCF client service proxy from a WSDL file, which calls a third-party java web service. Now I need to configure the binding and proxy to call a web method.<

Answer 1

Use this custom binding:

<customBinding>
        <binding name="NewBinding0">
            <textMessageEncoding messageVersion="Soap11" />
            <security authenticationMode="MutualCertificate" includeTimestamp="false"
                messageSecurityVersion="WSSecurity10WSTrustFebruary2005WSSecureConversationFebruary2005WSSecurityPolicy11BasicSecurityProfile10">
                <secureConversationBootstrap />
            </security>
            <httpTransport />
        </binding>
</customBinding>

make sure to decorate your contract to sign only:

[System.ServiceModel.ServiceContractAttribute(ConfigurationName=..., ProtectionLevel=System.Net.Security.ProtectionLevel.Sign)]

you will need to configure a service certificate in addition to a client certificate. You (probably) don't have such certificate which is ok, just configure any dummy certificate there (even same one as client).
