WCF WSHttpBinding SOAP安全协商失败

Question

I've got a fairly simple WCF self-hosted service using the WSHttpBinding that just refuses to work. If service and client runs on the same machine there's no problem, but as soon as I move the service to the window-server 2008 the client fails the communication attempts with

EXCEPTION

[System.ServiceModel.Security.SecurityNegotiationException] {"SOAP security negotiation with 'http://hvw-svr-01/SIT' for target 'http://hvw-svr-01/SIT' failed. See inner exception for more details."}

INNER EXCEPTION

[System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception] {"The Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI) negotiation failed. The server may not be running in an account with identity 'host/hvw-svr-01'. If the server is running in a service account (Network Service for example), specify the account's ServicePrincipalName as the identity in the EndpointAddress for the server. If the server is running in a user account, specify the account's UserPrincipalName as the identity in the EndpointAddress for the server."}

Since it's a self-hosted service I suppose I need to specify the UserPrincipalName, but no matter what I try for that property it just won't work.

• domain\\username
• domain@username
• host/localhost
• host/hvw-svr-01
• ... and so on

Tried it with different user accounts aswell, including the built-in Administrator. If I try BasicHttpBinding instead of WSHttpBinding everything works as expected. I read tons of articles about that problem on google (and stackoverflow) but I still cannot figure what the problem is and how to specify that identity.

Edit: Service App.Config

   <system.serviceModel>
  <services>
     <service name="SIT.Communication.Gate">
        <host>
           <baseAddresses>
              <add baseAddress="http://localhost:2323/SIT" />
           </baseAddresses>
        </host>
        <endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="SIT.Core.IGate">
           <identity>
              <dns value="localhost"/>
              <userPrincipalName value="XZDom\DGrain"/>
           </identity>
        </endpoint>
        <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
     </service>
  </services>
  <behaviors>
     <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior>
           <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="True"/>
           <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="True" />
        </behavior>
     </serviceBehaviors>
  </behaviors>

Edit: The Client itself is basically just this code fragment

  ChannelFactory<IGate> sitFactory = new ChannelFactory<IGate>(new WSHttpBinding(), new EndpointAddress("http://hvw-svr-01:2323/SIT")); IGate sitProxy = sitFactory.CreateChannel(); bool pong = sitProxy.Ping(); <------ throws exception 

Answer 1

To enable the Negotiate process to select the Kerberos protocol for network authentication, the client application must provide an SPN, a user principal name (UPN), or a NetBIOS account name as the target name. If the client application does not provide a target name, the Negotiate process cannot use the Kerberos protocol. If the Negotiate process cannot use the Kerberos protocol, the Negotiate process selects the NTLM protocol.

In cross-domain, kerberos has to be used. Since service is running as local system account, a SPN identity has to be used on the client side for the target name.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

You can opt for basic HTTP binding if WSHttpBinding is not an actual requisite. :)

Basic HTTP eliminates the <identiy> tag so UPN and SPN problems wouldn't occur.

Answer 3

I had the same issue and I tried almost all the settings in web.config and in the IIS server. And the best way for me is to set UPN when creating the client:

EndpointAddress endptAddress = 
               new EndpointAddress(
                  new Uri(your URL),
                  EndpointIdentity.CreateUpnIdentity("domain\username"));
