Applying (WCF) clientcredentials to a StreamInsight client RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hello,

    I have a requirement where I need to connect my StreamInsight client with client certificates over an SSL channel. With a normal WCF client I would need to configure an endpoint behavior to do this. I cannot figure out how to do this. Ideally, I would like to add this behavior by config, but I would settle for doing this programmatically. I cannot find anything about either method. 

    The config I'm trying to apply is:

      <system.serviceModel>
        <bindings>
          <wsHttpBinding>
            <binding>
              <security mode="Transport">
                <transport clientCredentialType="Certificate" />
                <message clientCredentialType="Certificate" />
              </security>
            </binding>
          </wsHttpBinding>
        </bindings>
        <services>
          <service name="Microsoft.ComplexEventProcessing.ManagementService.ManagementService">
            <endpoint address="https://*****/StreamInsight/****"
              binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="Microsoft.ComplexEventProcessing.ManagementService.IManagementService" />
          </service>
        </services>
      </system.serviceModel>

    This is my code where I connect to the server (ResolveBinding is a method that grabs the Binding from the app.config).

    var endpointAddress = new System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress(Endpoint);
    var binding = ResolveBinding(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["BindingName"]);
    CepServer = Server.Connect(endpointAddress, binding);

    I can assign an endpoint address and I can assign a binding, but I don't see a way to customize the client credentials.

    Does anyone know how to customize WCF configuration on the client side of a StreamInsight client/server solution?
