Problems with WCF reliable session (reliable messaging)

Question

Hi,

In our WCF application I am trying to configure reliable sessions.

Service:

 <wsHttpBinding>
            <binding name="BindingStabiHTTP" maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="2097152"
               messageEncoding="Text">
              <reliableSession enabled="true" ordered="true" inactivityTimeout="00:10:00"/>
              <readerQuotas maxDepth="0" maxStringContentLength="0" maxArrayLength="0"
                  maxBytesPerRead="0" maxNameTableCharCount="0" />
            </binding>
         </wsHttpBinding>

Client:

 <wsHttpBinding>
                <binding name="BindingClientWsHttpStandard" closeTimeout="00:01:00"
                    openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"
                    bypassProxyOnLocal="false" transactionFlow="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
                    maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536"
                    messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" useDefaultWebProxy="true"
                    allowCookies="false">
                    <readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384"
                        maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
                    <reliableSession ordered="true" inactivityTimeout="00:10:00"
                        enabled="true" />
                    <security mode="Message">
                        <transport clientCredentialType="Windows" proxyCredentialType="None"
                            realm="" />
                        <message clientCredentialType="Windows" negotiateServiceCredential="true"
                            algorithmSuite="Default" establishSecurityContext="true" />
                    </security>
                </binding>

Unfortunately I get an error which is as follows: No signature message parts were specified for messages with the 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/02/rm/CreateSequence' action.

If I disable the reliableSession on the client I get this message: The action is not supported by this endpoint. Only WS-ReliableMessaging February 2005 messages are processed by this endpoint.

So it seems that the server is configured correctly for RM.

I cannot find anything valuable about the error I get so I don't know how to fix this. Any ideas what can be wrong?

Thank in advance,

Rob

Answer 1

I think the security settings for client and server don't match.

The client has:

<security mode="Message">
    <transport clientCredentialType="Windows" proxyCredentialType="None" realm="" />
    <message clientCredentialType="Windows" negotiateServiceCredential="true"
             algorithmSuite="Default" establishSecurityContext="true" />
</security>

and the server has nothing at all.....

Can you try to have the same settings for both client and server? Does it work then??

Answer 2

After starting a new test project that worked fine with RM I finally found the problem by comparing the configuration files. It appeared that our service configuration did not specify the correct binding configuration:

<service behaviorConfiguration="somebehavior"
            name="somename">
            <endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding" 

bindingConfiguration="SomeBinding"

               name="http" contract="somecontract" />
            <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration=""
               name="mex" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
            <host>
               <baseAddresses>
                  <add baseAddress="http://localhost:8731/Design_Time_Addresses/somelibrary/someservice/" />
               </baseAddresses>
            </host>
         </service>

This bindingConfiguration was empty. It then takes the default wsHttpBinding which is something different then the one specified (even if there is only 1).
