I've developed an application which starts several WCF Service which use the SecurityMode.Message to encrypt the communication.
It's working, but, it's very complicate, because we have to generate a SSL cert and put it in specific store, on the server and on the client.
The problem is that the customer which will use the program:
So what is my best shot? I only need to encrypt data, I don't need to ensure that I'm connecting to the right host.
I know I'm not in the best case, but the application will be used by some specific users.
Here is a part of my code which makes the connection:
Server side:
ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(MyServiceType))
WSHttpBinding binding = new WSHttpBinding
{
ReaderQuotas = { MaxStringContentLength = int.MaxValue, MaxArrayLength = int.MaxValue, MaxDepth = int.MaxValue, MaxBytesPerRead = int.MaxValue, MaxNameTableCharCount = int.MaxValue },
MaxReceivedMessageSize = int.MaxValue
};
TimeSpan timeoutSpan = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(timeout);
binding.CloseTimeout = timeoutSpan;
binding.OpenTimeout = timeoutSpan;
binding.ReceiveTimeout = timeoutSpan;
binding.SendTimeout = timeoutSpan;
binding.ReliableSession.InactivityTimeout = timeoutSpan;
binding.MaxBufferPoolSize = int.MaxValue;
binding.Security.Mode = SecurityMode.Message;
binding.Security.Message.ClientCredentialType = MessageCredentialType.UserName;
binding.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.None;
host.Credentials.ServiceCertificate.SetCertificate(StoreLocation.LocalMachine, StoreName.My, X509FindType.FindBySubjectName, ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Hostname"]);
host.Credentials.ClientCertificate.Authentication.CertificateValidationMode = X509CertificateValidationMode.None;
host
.AddServiceEndpoint(services[port], binding, String.Format("http://localhost:{0}", port));
Client side:
string remoteAddress = String.Format("{0}://{1}:{2}", Tools.GetDescription(accessInfo.ServiceHost.Protocol), accessInfo.ServiceHost.HostName, accessInfo.PortNumber);
// avoid seralization/deserialization problems with large XML's
WSHttpBinding binding = new WSHttpBinding();
binding.ReaderQuotas.MaxStringContentLength = int.MaxValue;
binding.ReaderQuotas.MaxArrayLength = int.MaxValue;
binding.MaxReceivedMessageSize = int.MaxValue;
binding.ReaderQuotas.MaxStringContentLength = int.MaxValue;
binding.ReaderQuotas.MaxArrayLength = int.MaxValue;
binding.ReaderQuotas.MaxDepth = int.MaxValue;
binding.ReaderQuotas.MaxBytesPerRead = int.MaxValue;
binding.ReaderQuotas.MaxNameTableCharCount = int.MaxValue;
TimeSpan timeoutSpan = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(30) - DateTime.Now;
binding.CloseTimeout = timeoutSpan;
binding.OpenTimeout = timeoutSpan;
binding.ReceiveTimeout = timeoutSpan;
binding.SendTimeout = timeoutSpan;
binding.ReliableSession.InactivityTimeout = timeoutSpan;
binding.MaxBufferPoolSize = int.MaxValue;
//we set the security type
binding.Security.Mode = SecurityMode.Message;
binding.Security.Message.ClientCredentialType = MessageCredentialType.UserName;
binding.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.None;
ChannelFactory<TService> channelFactory = new ChannelFactory<TService>(binding, remoteAddress);
_service = channelFactory.CreateChannel();
Please note that I removed the part concerning my custom auth to have a more clean code
Your customer wants security outside of windows domain = your customer wants certificate. No certificate = no security. That is what you must explain to your customer.
You just need to have certificate with private key on the server and client must trust that certificate (it doesn't have to install it if it trust a publisher). What does it mean? You have three options:
That is the way how security works. You can build your own - you will put a big effort in that but at the end you will still need PKI (private key infrastructure) with asymmetric encryption to make it really secure. Certificates are mostly about wrapping, storing and transferring public and private keys.
