I am using IIS 7. HTTPS binding is enabled on it with port number 443. I have a WCF service as an application under the website. I am trying to introduce HTTPS security to service (with basicHttpBinding) based on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms729700.aspx

I am getting the following error – “The provided URI scheme 'https' is invalid; expected 'http'.”. When I checked the event log it has the stack trace as follows:

Stack Trace :    at System.ServiceModel.Channels.TransportChannelFactory`1.ValidateScheme(Uri via)

at System.ServiceModel.Channels.HttpChannelFactory.ValidateCreateChannelParameters(EndpointAddress remoteAddress, Uri via)

What is the change required to make it working on HTTPS with basicHttpBinding?

Note: Certificate is created using "Create Self Signed Certificate" in IIS 7.

I added httpsGetEnabled="true". Still the same error is there

it will allow to generate service reference, but it's not problem here yet

clientCredentialType="UserName". Where do I define the user name of the service? Any reference document to take the complete application for this?

You can change that from "Username" to "Windows". That depends on what type of client cerdentials you want to have for authentication
