BasicHttpBinding equivalent CustomBinding using WCF Client and PHP WebService

Question

I was running my Visual Studio 2008 Unit Test C# with a WebService PHP using WCF and I received the following error:

System.ServiceModel.Security.MessageSecurityException: The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous'. The authentication header received from the server was 'NTLM,Basic realm="(null)"'. ---> System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized..

I am using Windows XP SP3 machine, unit test VS 2008 and WCF for connect to PHP WebService.

I have no control about PHP WebService. I cannot modify it (neither configuration security).

Here is my config file for the client that use the webservice PHP:

 <system.serviceModel>

    <extensions>
      <bindingElementExtensions>
        <add name="customTextMessageEncoding"
             type="COMPANY.IntegracionEasyVista.CustomTextEncoder.CustomTextMessageEncodingElement,COMPANY.IntegracionEasyVista.CustomTextEncoder, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9744987c0853bf9e" />
      </bindingElementExtensions>

    </extensions>


        <bindings>

              <customBinding>
                    <binding name="ISO8859Binding">
                          <customTextMessageEncoding messageVersion="Soap11WSAddressing10"
                                encoding="ISO-8859-1" />
                          <httpTransport />
                    </binding>
              </customBinding>
        </bindings>
        <client>
              <endpoint address="http://serverphp/webservice/SmoBridge.php"
                    binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="ISO8859Binding"
                    contract="ServiceEasyVista.WebServicePortType" name="EasyVistaSvcEndPoint" />
        </client>
    </system.serviceModel>

Really, I use C# code:

var endpointAddress = Config.AppSettings.Settings[EasyVistaSvcEndPointAddress].Value;
var endpoint = new System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress(endpointAddress);

var endpointBinding = new System.ServiceModel.Channels.CustomBinding();
endpointBinding.Name = "ISO8859Binding";

var bindingElement = new  IntegracionEasyVista.CustomTextEncoder.CustomTextMessageBindingElement();

bindingElement.Encoding = "ISO-8859-1";
bindingElement.MessageVersion = System.ServiceModel.Channels.MessageVersion.Soap11WSAddressing10; // "Soap11WSAddressing10" 
endpointBinding.Elements.Add(bindingElement);

var transportBinding = new HttpTransportBindingElement();
endpointBinding.Elements.Add(transportBinding);

ConfigurarBinding(endpointBinding);

var svcClient = new WebServicePortTypeClient(endpointBinding, endpoint);
return svcClient;

Update: tests

I add this line:

transportBinding.AuthenticationScheme = System.Net.AuthenticationSchemes.Negotiate;

I get this error: The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous'. The authentication header received from the server was 'NTLM,Basic realm="(null)"'

I add this line:

transportBinding.AuthenticationScheme = System.Net.AuthenticationSchemes.Basic;

I get thiserror:

System.ServiceModel.CommunicationObjectFaultedException: El objeto de comunicación, System.ServiceModel.Channels.ServiceChannel, no se puede usar para la comunicación porque se encuentra en el estado Faulted.

//Server stack trace: // en System.ServiceModel.Channels.CommunicationObject.Close(TimeSpan timeout)

I add this line:

 transportBinding.AuthenticationScheme = System.Net.AuthenticationSchemes.Ntlm;

I get thiserror:

/Exception = System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException: Versión de mensaje no reconocida.

//Server stack trace: // en System.ServiceModel.Channels.ReceivedMessage.ReadStartEnvelope(XmlDictionaryReader reader)

I think, the following is right configuration (if were basichttpbinding)

<security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">
    <transport clientCredentialType="Basic" />
</security>

Web service of WCF in basichttpbinding might not be flexible enough. CustomBinding as the name describes that it alllows users design their own web service binding.

I need use CustomBinding and SecurityMode (like basichttpbinding): WCF BasicHttpBinding equivalent CustomBinding

I need Security Mode: TransportCredentialOnly, Basic, HTTP transport and encoding="ISO-8859-1"

I try again using this configuration, and I get the error:

svcPro.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "MY USER";
svcPro.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "XXXX";

Config:

<customBinding>

<binding name="ISO8859Binding">
    <customTextMessageEncoding messageVersion="Soap11WSAddressing10"        encoding="ISO-8859-1" />

    <!--<textMessageEncoding MessageVersion="Soap11" />-->
    <!--<httpTransport />-->
    <httpTransport authenticationScheme="Basic" />

</binding>

</customBinding>

The error (InnerException is null):

Your PHP service requires authentication but your client doesn't send any. Change your custom binding to support authentication. You can set authentication in httpTransport element:

<httpTranposrt authenticationScheme="..." />

Use Basic or Negotiate. Basic will require you to provide client credentials when communicating with the service. Negotiate will require that both service and client are in the same domain.
