WCF with No security
- by james.ingham
Hi all,
I've got a WCF service setup which I can consume and use as intendid... but only on the same machine. I'm looking to get this working over multiple computers and I'm not fussed about the security. However when I set (client side) the security to = none, I get a InvalidOperationException:
The service certificate is not
provided for target
'http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8731/Design_Time_Addresses/WcfServiceLibrary/ManagementService/'.
Specify a service certificate in
ClientCredentials.
So I'm left with:
<security mode="Message">
<message clientCredentialType="None" negotiateServiceCredential="false"
algorithmSuite="Default" />
</security>
But this gives me another InvalidOperationException:
The service certificate is not
provided for target
'http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8731/Design_Time_Addresses/WcfServiceLibrary/ManagementService/'.
Specify a service certificate in
ClientCredentials.
Why would I have to provide a certificate if security was turned off?
