Error while calling secured web service in C#

Question

I have to connect to secured webservice, I am passing in the credentials while calling the service But I am getting following error message while calling service

"An error was discovered processing the < wsse:Security > header"

I am using basicHttpBinding with security mode set to "Transport"

The endpoint address points to secured site URL

I am not sure why I am getting this error message, Am i missing something?

Answer 1

You're using basicHttpBinding, and passing credentials, so I believe you must use something to the effect of:

<basicHttpBinding>
  <binding name="myBinding">
     <security mode="TransportWithMessageCredential">
     <transport />
     <message clientCredentialType="Username" />
     </security>
  </binding>
</basicHttpBinding>

This will allow messages to flow via SSL (secure transport) with plain credentials.
