    copied!<p>Greets. I realize this might be seen as a duplicate question as <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/189623/wcf-transport-security-with-no-authentication">this</a> but I'm getting a different error.</p> <p>My IIS is setup to use SSL. My service is setup relatively simple. Just a simple log in service.</p> <p>When I try to navigate directly to the svc file on the host machine I get this error</p> <p><em>Service cannot be activated due to an exception during compilation. The exception message is: Security settings for this service require Windows Authentication but it is not enabled for the IIS application that hosts this service.</em></p> <p>I don't want to do any authentication when accessing this particular service. Shouldn't I be able to use HTTPS binding with Transport message creds and client authentication set to none?</p> <p>I have a certificate setup to comply with SSL and that seems to be fine. It's just this authentication stuff that's in the way now.</p> <pre><code> &lt;system.serviceModel&gt; &lt;behaviors&gt; &lt;serviceBehaviors&gt; &lt;behavior name="DefaultBehaviour"&gt; &lt;serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="true" /&gt; &lt;serviceCredentials&gt; &lt;serviceCertificate findValue="xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx" storeLocation="LocalMachine" storeName="My" x509FindType="FindByThumbprint" /&gt; &lt;/serviceCredentials&gt; &lt;/behavior&gt; &lt;/serviceBehaviors&gt; &lt;/behaviors&gt; &lt;bindings&gt; &lt;wsHttpBinding&gt; &lt;binding name="wsBinding"&gt; &lt;security mode="Transport"&gt; &lt;message clientCredentialType="None" /&gt; &lt;/security&gt; &lt;/binding&gt; &lt;/wsHttpBinding&gt; &lt;mexHttpsBinding&gt; &lt;binding name="mex" /&gt; &lt;/mexHttpsBinding&gt; &lt;/bindings&gt; &lt;services&gt; &lt;service behaviorConfiguration="DefaultBehaviour" name="Web.Login.LoginService"&gt; &lt;endpoint name="wsBinding" address="https://staging.system.com/System/LoginService/LoginService.svc" binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="wsBinding" contract="Web.Login.IOLELoginService" /&gt; &lt;endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" bindingConfiguration="mex" name="mex" contract="IMetadataExchange" /&gt; &lt;/service&gt; &lt;/services&gt; </code></pre> <p></p>
