hosting WCF service in IIS with windows authentication and without anonymous access

Question

I would like to use WCF service hosted in IIS (5/6) with integrated windows authentication enabled and anonymous access disabled. I tried to do this by following http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff648431.aspx , but getting an error saying certificate is not installed. But I don't need SSL. I don't have any clients expecting older ASMX services, so I don't need to use basicHttpBinding (and also it is not secure), so I tried to use wsHttpBinding.

How do I get wsHttpBinding with windows authentication to work without SSL? This is such a common requirement, but I couldn't find any solution for this. Can someone post the configuration for the client and the server please? I am using ASP.NET client.

My configuration below. and the exact error message is:

An error occurred while making the HTTP request to https://mymachine/WCFTest/Service1.svc . This could be due to the fact that the server certificate is not configured properly with HTTP.SYS in the HTTPS case. This could also be caused by a mismatch of the security binding between the client and the server.

I used "svcUtil" utility to generate the proxy class and configuration for the client.

I ended up using basicHttpBinding as explained in the article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff648505.aspx . posting the config for the client and the server below if anyone is interested. client config is generated using "svcutil".

server config:    
  <system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
      <basicHttpBinding>
        <binding name="BasicHttpEndpointBinding">
          <security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">
            <transport clientCredentialType="Windows" />
          </security>
        </binding>
      </basicHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <services>
      <service behaviorConfiguration="WCFTest.Service1Behavior" name="WCFTest.Service1">
        <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding"
          bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpEndpointBinding"
          name="BasicHttpEndpoint" contract="WCFTest.IService1">
        </endpoint>
      </service>
    </services>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="WCFTest.Service1Behavior">
          <!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false and remove the metadata endpoint above before deployment -->
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
          <!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, set the value below to true.  Set to false before deployment to avoid disclosing exception information -->
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
  </system.serviceModel>

client config:
  <system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
      <basicHttpBinding>
        <binding name="BasicHttpEndpoint" closeTimeout="00:01:00" openTimeout="00:01:00"
            receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00" allowCookies="false"
            bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
            maxBufferSize="65536" maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536"
            messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" transferMode="Buffered"
            useDefaultWebProxy="true">
          <readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384"
              maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
          <security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">
            <transport clientCredentialType="Windows" proxyCredentialType="None"
                realm="" />
            <message clientCredentialType="UserName" algorithmSuite="Default" />
          </security>
        </binding>
      </basicHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <client>
      <endpoint address="http://machinename/WCFTest/Service1.svc"
          binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpEndpoint"
          contract="IService1" name="BasicHttpEndpoint" />
    </client>
  </system.serviceModel>
