WCF BasicHttpBinding with Windows Authentication & a 2.0 Client

Windows Authentication is a great way to provide authentication security in your WCF services. With the WSHttpEndpoing and a .NET 3.0+ client Windows Authentication works right out of the box with WCF, everything is just peachy. However, if you want to use the BasicHttpBinding for .NET 2.0 client backward compatibility then it is going to require a bit of configuration for both the clients & server.

Setting Up IIS7 In Vista For ASP.NET / WCF Development Purposes

I recently needed to setup IIS in Vista (again) to support my ASP.NET & WCF development purposes. Since there are a few different things to remember when setting up IIS in Vista to support development purposes (ASP.NET, WCF, Windows Authentication, etc.) I figured others might benefit from a quick How To.

Multiple WCF Endpoints & .NET 2.0 Clients

schnieds — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 21:12:00 GMT

I recently ran into a problem where .NET 2.0 clients were having problems connecting to the enterprise .NET 3.0 WCF web services platform that we built for internal use. We are hosting all of the web services in IIS6 (no upgrade to IIS7 anytime in the near future) and everything was working great for anyone running .NET 3.0 or later on their client apps.

The root of the problem was that we had only implemented one Endpoint, using the WSHttpBinding. This was great for any clients running .NET 3.0 or later, but this binding doesn't provide any backwards compatibility for clients running a framework earlier than .NET 3.0.....

Headed to my first Pluralsight training class - WCF & WWF

schnieds — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 21:05:00 GMT

Me and a guy I work with are headed to a training class at the Pluralsight location in Boston next week; Double Feature: WCF & Windows WorkFlow.
http://www.pluralsight.com/courses/DoubleFeatureWCFWF.aspx

I have been sick all week, so I am hoping my head is clear enough for the flight on Saturday that it doesn't explode. I really like the free t-shirts I have gotten from Pluralsight at some conferences in the past, I hope the class lives up to the t-shirts.

Actually, all joking aside, I am really excited about the class. It looks very intense and Pluralsight seems to have some of the industry leading trainers. Anyone else out there have experience with Pluralsight training?

I will post a review of the class and our experience when I get back.
