Moving from HTTP based basicHttpBinding to HTTPS

Question

I'm using basicHttpBinding with custom behaviors in my .NET 4.5 project.

The new request is to authenticate users so I would like to switch https. What is the easiest way for this?

How should I do this migration?

Answer 1

You have to create a binding setting the security mode to Transport which means HTTPS in this case:

<basicHttpBinding>
    <binding name="TransportSecurity">
       <security mode="Transport" />
    </binding>
</basicHttpBinding>

Then change the endpoint url to be HTTPS and you are set.
