Restful WCF (webhttpbinding) in IIS breaks after adding https binding

Question

I have a WCF service hosted in IIS (7.0) which implements multiple service contracts and therefore defines multiple endpoints (one for each contract). It has been working fine but I have just added an https binding to the IIS web application and I am now getting an activation exception specifying that the service implements multiple contracts but no endpoints are defined in configuration when they actually are. I found this article which solves a similar problem caused by adding host names to IIS, but it doesn't seem to help my situation.

Here is a snippet of my configuration which is relevant:

<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true">
  <baseAddressPrefixFilters>
    <add prefix="http://localhost/CDC.WebPortal.MidTierAccessService/"/&gt;
  </baseAddressPrefixFilters>
</serviceHostingEnvironment>


<services>
  <service name="CDC.WebPortal.MidTier.MidTierAccessService"
           behaviorConfiguration="MidTierServiceBehaviour" >

    <endpoint address="http://localhost/CDC.WebPortal.MidTierAccessService/MidTierAccessService.svc"
              binding="webHttpBinding" bindingName="RestBindingConfiguration"
              contract="CDC.WebPortal.ServiceContract.IProductService"/>

    <endpoint address="http://localhost/CDC.WebPortal.MidTierAccessService/MidTierAccessService.svc/Category" binding="webHttpBinding" 
              bindingName="RestBindingConfiguration"
              contract="CDC.WebPortal.ServiceContract.ICategoryService"/>

    <endpoint address="http://localhost/CDC.WebPortal.MidTierAccessService/MidTierAccessService.svc/Account" binding="webHttpBinding" 
              bindingName="RestBindingConfiguration"
              contract="CDC.WebPortal.ServiceContract.IAccountService"/>

    <endpoint address="http://localhost/CDC.WebPortal.MidTierAccessService/MidTierAccessService.svc/Order"
              binding="webHttpBinding" bindingName="RestBindingConfiguration"
              contract="CDC.WebPortal.ServiceContract.IOrderService"/>

    <endpoint address="http://localhost/CDC.WebPortal.MidTierAccessService/MidTierAccessService.svc/mex"
              binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />

  </service>
</services>

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Answer 1

If you are configuring HTTPS for the binding (say SecureRestBindingConfiguration), you also need to set "https" in the address of the the endpoints that you want to expose as https. e.g.

<endpoint address="https://localhost/CDC.WebPortal.MidTierAccessService/MidTierAccessService.svc"
                  binding="webHttpBinding" bindingName="SecureRestBindingConfiguration"
                  contract="CDC.WebPortal.ServiceContract.IProductService"/>

Keyword: https, SecureRestBindingConfiguration

UPDATE: Assumed you configured https transport within SecureRestBindingConfiguration.
