WCF fails to deserialize correct(?) response message security headers (Security header is empty)
- by Soeteman
I'm communicating with an OC4J webservice, using a WCF client. The client is configured as follows:
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="MyBinding">
<security mode="TransportWithMessageCredential">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" proxyCredentialType="None" realm=""/>
<message clientCredentialType="UserName" algorithmSuite="Default"/>
</security>
</binding>
My clientcode looks as follows:
ServicePointManager.CertificatePolicy = new AcceptAllCertificatePolicy();
string username = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["user"];
string password = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["pass"];
// client instance maken
WebserviceClient client = new WebserviceClient();
client.Endpoint.Binding = new BasicHttpBinding("MyBinding");
// credentials toevoegen
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = username;
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = password;
//uitvoeren request
var response = client.Ping();
I've altered the CertificatePolicy to accept all certificates, because I need to insert Charles (ssl proxy) in between client and server to intercept the actual Xml that is sent across te wire.
My request looks as follows:
<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:u="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd">

Why can't WCF deserialize this response header? I'm getting a "Security header is empty" exception:

Who knows what is going on here? I've already tried Rick Strahl's suggestion and removed the timestamp from the request header. Any help greatly appreciated!
