Adding Soap Message Header for every request in WCF?

Question

Hi,

In my old asmx web services I used to have AuthHeader which contains the UserName & password and the AuthHeader is mandatory for every web method request. User will send his username & password using this AuthHeader and I will validate the request with the Username & password.

How can I ahieve the samething with WCF as webservice hosting in IIS with basicHttpBinding binding? Is there any way to make user mandatory to send AuthHeader with username & password?

Thanks,
nRk

Answer 1

You can uSe below code to pass username and password:

proxy.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "testuser";
proxy.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "Password10";

And you need to set the security mode as transport.
