Web.Config options when HTTPS is required?

Hi Folks,

I have searched but can't find a (simple) answer...

My (Java) client can connect and web services work fine using HTTP or HTTPS.

However, we would like to make our production servers HTTPS-only.

When in IIS configuration I tick the "require SSL" tick-box I then get the following error on web service calls:

Could not find a base address that matches scheme http for the endpoint with binding BasicHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [https].

I searched and tried some tweaks to Web.Config, like adding the following in each binding

However then I get another error:

The HttpGetEnabled property of ServiceMetadataBehavior is set to true and the HttpGetUrl property is a relative address, but there is no http base address. Either supply an http base address or set HttpGetUrl to an absolute address.

Has anyone got an example of Web.Config that works OK when HTTPS/SSL is required (not just optional)?

Note that I am not a .NET developer so I'm trying these Web.Config options by trial-and-error and wasting my time.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Rex.

P.S The forum posting text editor on this forum is really annoying. Cursor keeps jumping to the top of this input text area.

For some reason the error message I included in my original question appeared at the bottom of the posting, not in the middle where I intended. It should have read:

Does anyone else use the text editor on this forum or is it best to edit my posts/replies somewhere else like in WordPad maybe, and then copy/paste them into here?

Hi, Rex.

For your serviceMetadata elements, ensure that you have the attribute httpGetEnabled="false" as well as httpsGetEnabled="true" and httpsGetUrl=""

Thanks,

Cool.

Thanks Scott, I will try that.

Sorry to dig up an older thread, but we are also trying to run webservices via SSL/HTTPS and have edited our web services web.config accordingly, and whilst we can get the 'Authentication.svc' to run ok, the other services we are looking to use (search, document management) are still throwing the same error as above

"Could not find a base address that matches scheme http for the endpoint with binding BasicHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [https]."

relevant configs have been changed to

And that one's ok, but others i.e.

... are still erroring. IIS has been restarted and the app pool recycled just to make sure also.

Have we missed anything else?

cheers

Found our problem, our end point service bindings for SSL were commented out!
