I have created a WCF REST service and I am trying to do custom authentication (as it should work on http and https).
I am using custome service authorization manager to check and validate authorization header.
When I call the service using Fiddler and pass Authorization header with request, I am receiving it correctly in the service authorization manager.
But when I am setting credentials on WCFChannelFactory, I am not receiving Authorization header in the service. I expect that authorization header should be created by WCFChannelFactory and passed with request.
Client code is as below:
WebChannelFactory<IDataService> factory = new WebChannelFactory<IDataService>("DataServiceClient1");
factory.Credentials.UserName.UserName = "user1";
factory.Credentials.UserName.Password = "password123";
var client = factory.CreateChannel();
var data = client.GetData1("Microsoft");
Console.WriteLine("Get response : {0}", data);
Client Service Configuration is as below:
<system.serviceModel>
<client>
<endpoint address="http://localhost.fiddler:50179/DataService.svc"
binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="auth"
contract="RESTWebServiceSpike.IDataService"
behaviorConfiguration="web"
name="DataServiceClient1">
</endpoint>
</client>
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="web">
<webHttp/>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<bindings>
<webHttpBinding>
<binding name="auth">
<security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">
<transport clientCredentialType="Basic" />
</security>
</binding>
</webHttpBinding>
</bindings>
</system.serviceModel>
My service Configuration is as below:
<services>
<service name="RESTWebServiceSpike.DataService" behaviorConfiguration="DataServiceBehaviour">
<endpoint address="" binding="webHttpBinding"
contract="RESTWebServiceSpike.IDataService" behaviorConfiguration="web">
</endpoint>
</service>
</services>

I know this is late but I ran across this post so decided to fill this in, in case I ever need to remember this again. This worked for me:
Create the Message Inspector:
Public Class AuthenticationHeader
Implements IClientMessageInspector
Private itsUser As String
Private itsPass As String
Public Sub New(ByVal user As String, ByVal pass As String)
itsUser = user
itsPass = pass
End Sub
Public Sub AfterReceiveReply(ByRef reply As Message, correlationState As Object) Implements IClientMessageInspector.AfterReceiveReply
Console.WriteLine("Received the following reply: '{0}'", reply.ToString())
End Sub
Public Function BeforeSendRequest(ByRef request As Message, channel As IClientChannel) As Object Implements IClientMessageInspector.BeforeSendRequest
Dim hrmp As HttpRequestMessageProperty = request.Properties("httpRequest")
Dim encoded As String = System.Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-1").GetBytes(itsUser + ":" + itsPass))
hrmp.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + encoded)
Return request
End Function
End Class
Write the Behavior:
Public Class AuthenticationHeaderBehavior
Implements IEndpointBehavior
Private ReadOnly itsUser As String
Private ReadOnly itsPass As String
Public Sub New(ByVal user As String, ByVal pass As String)
MyBase.New()
itsUser = user
itsPass = pass
End Sub
Public Sub AddBindingParameters(endpoint As ServiceEndpoint, bindingParameters As BindingParameterCollection) Implements IEndpointBehavior.AddBindingParameters
End Sub
Public Sub ApplyClientBehavior(endpoint As ServiceEndpoint, clientRuntime As ClientRuntime) Implements IEndpointBehavior.ApplyClientBehavior
clientRuntime.MessageInspectors.Add(New AuthenticationHeader(itsUser, itsPass))
End Sub
Public Sub ApplyDispatchBehavior(endpoint As ServiceEndpoint, endpointDispatcher As EndpointDispatcher) Implements IEndpointBehavior.ApplyDispatchBehavior
End Sub
Public Sub Validate(endpoint As ServiceEndpoint) Implements IEndpointBehavior.Validate
End Sub
End Class
Add it to your endpoint:
Dim binding As New WebHttpBinding(WebHttpSecurityMode.Transport)
binding.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.None
ChlFactory = New WebChannelFactory(Of IMyServiceContract)(binding, New Uri(url))
ChlFactory.Endpoint.Behaviors.Add(New WebHttpBehavior())
ChlFactory.Endpoint.Behaviors.Add(New AuthenticationHeaderBehavior(user, pass))
Channel = ChlFactory.CreateChannel()
For posterity, here is the solution I found to this problem:
First, take out your <service></service>
tags in your client.
Then, you need to wrap your call to your service in an OperationContextScope, inside which you'll add the header. For example:
using (new OperationContextScope((IClientChannel)client))
{
HttpRequestMessageProperty requestProperty = new HttpRequestMessageProperty();
string credentials = string.Format("{0}:{1}", _username, _password);
requestProperty.Headers["Authorization"] = string.Format("Basic {0}", Convert.ToBase64String(UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(credentials)));
OperationContext.Current.OutgoingMessageProperties[HttpRequestMessageProperty.Name] = requestProperty;
data = client.GetData1();
}
