Issuw with ServiceBus Relay Bindings

Question

Hi Team

I am new to the Azure Service Bus. I am trying to use the relay messaging of the service bus to expose my basic on premise wcf service..

I created the basic service and hosted it in the console Application. The hosting code looks like this:

 ////Using BasichttpRelayBinding
            ServiceBusEnvironment.SystemConnectivity.Mode = ConnectivityMode.Http;

// Configure the credentials for the service and client endpoints through an endpoint behavior.

var endPoint = new TransportClientEndpointBehavior();

endPoint.CredentialType =TransportClientCredentialType.SharedSecret;

endPoint.Credentials.SharedSecret.IssuerName ="owner";

endPoint.Credentials.SharedSecret.IssuerSecret = "mysecret=";

// Create the binding with custom settings.

var binding = new BasicHttpRelayBinding();

binding.Security.RelayClientAuthenticationType =RelayClientAuthenticationType.RelayAccessToken;

// Get the service URI.       [below testServer is the namespace of Service bus we created in Azure in start]

var address = ServiceBusEnvironment.CreateServiceUri("https", "mynamespace", "ProblemSolver");

// Create the service host.

var host = new ServiceHost(typeof(ProblemSolver), address);

// Add the service endpoint with the WebHttpRelayBinding binding.

host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IProblemSolver), binding, address);

// Add the credentials through the endpoint behavior.

host.Description.Endpoints[0].Behaviors.Add(endPoint);

//host.Description.Endpoints[0].Behaviors.Add(new MyBehavior());

host.Description.Behaviors.Add(new ServiceMetadataBehavior() { HttpsGetEnabled = true });

ServiceRegistrySettings settings = new ServiceRegistrySettings();

settings.DiscoveryMode =DiscoveryType.Public;

foreach (ServiceEndpoint s in host.Description.Endpoints)

s.Behaviors.Add(settings);

ServiceDebugBehavior debug = host.Description.Behaviors.Find<ServiceDebugBehavior>();

// if not found – add behavior with setting turned on 

if (debug == null)

{

host.Description.Behaviors.Add(new ServiceDebugBehavior() { IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults = true });

}

else

{

// make sure setting is turned ON

if (!debug.IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults)

{

debug.IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults =true;

}

}

// Start the service.

host.Open();

    Console.WriteLine("Copy the following address into a browser to see the data: ");

    Console.WriteLine(address );

    Console.WriteLine();

    Console.WriteLine("Press [Enter] to exit");

Console.ReadLine();

host.Close();

The problem is, when i run this code my console application hangs at the host.Open() call and never move forward. I do not get any error or warning though.

Can you please help me with this? I also tried nettcprelaybinding and the result is same.

By reading some forums, i came to know that outbound port 9350-9354 needs to be opened on firewall, i tried that also but no luck. Even turning off the firewall doesn't help..

Answer 1

Have you checked your windows event log for possible (error) messages around the time you tried connecting?

Answer 2

No error in Event viewer. As i said in description that the exe stops at the host.open() and stays there. This give no error.

I have the same problem with running aServiceBus app from inside one of our  clients network. In other networks it works without a problem, there, it hangs on host.Open(). There are no errors in the Eventlog and no exception is raised. The network doesn't use a proxy server and port 80 is open to connect out to the internet.

Any help would be appreciated.
