Integrating WCF Client and ASMX WSE 3.0 Service

Question

I almost regret that I even started programming.

How do I integrate those two enterprisey beasts? More specifically, I have a third-party ASMX service which uses WSE 3.0 (authentication & message signing). Now in following with "best" Microsoft practices and svcutil a WCF proxy to this service. For some obscure reason (I believe I even read somewhere on the Internets that this is actually by design), svcutil does not import this extra security configuration added by WSE. All samples available on the net are either outdated or do not compile or produce configuration errors.

Is there any chance of integrating these two technologies?

Answer 1

I believe, that svcutil does not generate proxy, since 3rd party company has blocked it from security reasons, which is correct. I am sure you can ask them to generate proxy on their machines using svcutils and send you their code.

Good luck!
