如何将TLS添加到WCF服务？

Question

I've been trying to add TLS to a WCF service, I've created. Everything is OK until I try to access the service through https instead of http. When adding the wcf service to the wcf test client, I get this:

Error: Cannot obtain Metadata from [THELINK] If this is a Windows (R) Communication Foundation service to which you have access, please check that you have enabled metadata publishing at the specified address. For help enabling metadata publishing, please refer to the MSDN documentation at [an MS link] Exchange Error URI: [THELINK]
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: '[THELINK]'.
There was no endpoint listening at [THELINK] that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details. The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.HTTP GET Error URI: [THELINK]
There was an error downloading '[THELINK]'. The request failed with HTTP status 403: Forbidden.

Sorry about the link replacing, but I'm new and I don't have the reputation, it seems :)

Answer 1

do you have a

<behaviors> <serviceBehaviors> <behavior name="YourSerivceBehaviourName"> <serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="true" /> <-- this bit ? ... ... <behaviors> <serviceBehaviors> <behavior name="YourSerivceBehaviourName"> <serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="true" /> <-- this bit ? ... ... being referenced by your

<service name="...." behaviorConfiguration="YourSerivceBehaviourName">

or a

<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />

in your web.config?

the Test client will also moan if the certificate isn't a real one I have found.. ie a self certed one for testing. but the 403 seems to suggest that whatever credentials you are supplying are incorrect, what is the clientCredentialType set to in the SSL binding?

and what happens if you hit the link in a browser with customerrors off.. this might give you some more useful information
