I have a WCF service with a custom IServiceBehavior attached used to return a specific fault on the client side. When I enable this code with TCP Message Security I receive a service timeout.
Below you can see the full client and server code to reproduce the error.
Server code:
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.ServiceModel; using System.ServiceModel.Description; using System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher; using System.ServiceModel.Channels; namespace TestWCFServer { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { Console.WriteLine("SERVER"); NetTcpBinding binding = new NetTcpBinding(); binding.Security.Mode = SecurityMode.Message; //If you remove this line the code works!!!! Uri address = new Uri("net.tcp://localhost:8184/"); // Create the ServiceHost. using (ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(HelloWorldService))) { host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IHelloWorldService), binding, address); host.Description.Behaviors.Add(new MyErrorhandlerBehavior()); host.Open(); Console.WriteLine("The service is ready at {0}", address); Console.WriteLine("Press to stop the service."); Console.ReadLine(); // Close the ServiceHost. host.Close(); } } } [ServiceContract] public interface IHelloWorldService { [OperationContract] string SayHello(string name); } public class HelloWorldService : IHelloWorldService { public string SayHello(string name) { if (name == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("name"); return string.Format("Hello, {0}", name); } } class MyErrorhandlerBehavior : IServiceBehavior, IErrorHandler { #region IServiceBahvior public void AddBindingParameters(ServiceDescription serviceDescription, ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase, System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection endpoints, BindingParameterCollection bindingParameters) { } public void ApplyDispatchBehavior(ServiceDescription serviceDescription, ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase) { foreach (ChannelDispatcher chanDisp in serviceHostBase.ChannelDispatchers) { chanDisp.ErrorHandlers.Add(this); } } public void Validate(ServiceDescription serviceDescription, ServiceHostBase serviceHostBase) { } #endregion #region IErrorHandler Members public bool HandleError(Exception error) { return true; } public void ProvideFault(Exception error,MessageVersion ver, ref Message msg) { FaultException fe = new FaultException(error.Message); MessageFault fault = fe.CreateMessageFault(); msg = Message.CreateMessage(ver, fault, "net.tcp://localhost:8184/fault"); } #endregion } }
Client code:
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.ServiceModel; using System.ServiceModel.Channels; using System.ServiceModel.Description; using System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher; namespace TestWCFClient { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { Console.WriteLine("CLIENT"); try { NetTcpBinding binding = new NetTcpBinding(); binding.Security.Mode = SecurityMode.Message; //If you remove this line the code works!!!! Uri address = new Uri("net.tcp://localhost:8184/"); EndpointAddress endpoint = new EndpointAddress(address); HelloWorldServiceClient client = new HelloWorldServiceClient(binding, endpoint); Console.WriteLine("Calling client with a valid parameter..."); Console.WriteLine(client.SayHello("Davide")); Console.WriteLine("OK"); Console.WriteLine("Calling client with an invalid parameter..."); Console.WriteLine(client.SayHello(null)); //This call causes the timeout when Security is set to Message Console.WriteLine("OK"); } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine(ex.Message); } Console.WriteLine("Press enter to exit"); Console.ReadLine(); } } [ServiceContract] public interface IHelloWorldService { [OperationContract] string SayHello(string name); } class HelloWorldServiceClient : System.ServiceModel.ClientBase, IHelloWorldService { public HelloWorldServiceClient(System.ServiceModel.Channels.Binding binding, System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress address) : base(binding, address) { } public string SayHello(string name) { return base.Channel.SayHello(name); } } }
If I remove the binding.Security.Mode = SecurityMode.Message;
line on the client and on the server the exception is correctly translated and the client can see it without problems.
On the WCF log I see these messages:
No signature message parts were specified for messages with the 'net.tcp://localhost:8184/fault' action.
The security protocol cannot secure the outgoing message.
Any idea on how to solve this problem? Seems that I must sign/encrypt the error message but I don't known how...
If I use Transport security the code works as expected.
thanks!
