I have a generic proof of concept WCF service that is using forms authentication to secure access. All works great when my client is .NET (vb code below)
Dim client As SupplierServiceClient = New SupplierServiceClient()
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "[email protected]"
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "password"
Dim SupplierList As List(Of Supplier) = client.GetSuppliers()
but as I want this to interop w/ anyone who can do SOAP 1.1/1.2 - how would a PHP or Java client connect?
My WCF web.config is listed below (fyi)
<system.serviceModel>
	<services>
		<service name="SampleApplicationWCF.Library.SupplierService" behaviorConfiguration="NorthwindBehavior">
			<endpoint address="" name="wsHttpSupplierService" contract="SampleApplicationWCF.Library.ISupplierService" binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="wsHttp"/>
			<endpoint address="https://server/SampleApplicationWCF/SupplierService.svc/Basic" name="basicHttpSupplierService" contract="SampleApplicationWCF.Library.ISupplierService" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="basicHttp"/>
			<endpoint contract="IMetadataExchange" binding="mexHttpBinding" address="mex"/>
		</service>
	</services>
	<bindings>
		<wsHttpBinding>
			<binding name="wsHttp">
				<security mode="TransportWithMessageCredential">
					<transport/>
					<message clientCredentialType="UserName" negotiateServiceCredential="false" establishSecurityContext="true"/>
				</security>
			</binding>
		</wsHttpBinding>
		<basicHttpBinding>
			<binding name="basicHttp">
				<security mode="TransportWithMessageCredential">
					<transport/>
					<message clientCredentialType="UserName"/>
				</security>
			</binding>
		</basicHttpBinding>
	</bindings>
	<behaviors>
		<serviceBehaviors>
			<behavior name="NorthwindBehavior">
				<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
				<serviceAuthorization principalPermissionMode="UseAspNetRoles"/>
				<serviceCredentials>
					<userNameAuthentication userNamePasswordValidationMode="MembershipProvider"/>
				</serviceCredentials>
			</behavior>
		</serviceBehaviors>
	</behaviors>
</system.serviceModel>
