    copied!<p>So I've basically got everything up and running with wsHttpBindings and my WCF service using custom authentication over HTTPS.</p> <p>The issue I'm having is with the customUserNamePasswordValidatorType:</p> <pre><code> &lt;serviceCredentials&gt; &lt;!-- Use our own custom validation --&gt; &lt;userNameAuthentication userNamePasswordValidationMode="Custom" customUserNamePasswordValidatorType="CustomValidator.CustomUserNameValidator, CustomValidator"/&gt; &lt;/serviceCredentials&gt; </code></pre> <p>Following directions found <a href="http://nayyeri.net/custom-username-and-password-authentication-in-wcf-3-5" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> I've created my custom class as well:</p> <pre><code>namespace CustomValidator { public class CustomUserNameValidator : UserNamePasswordValidator { public override void Validate(string userName, string password) { if (null == userName || null == password) { throw new ArgumentNullException(); } if (!AuthenticateUser(userName, password)) throw new SecurityTokenValidationException("Invalid Credentials"); </code></pre> <p>The error is "<strong>Could not load file or assembly 'CustomValidator' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.</strong>", and refers to the tail end of customUserNamePasswordValidatorType - "..., CustomValidator".</p> <p>I didn't think it was a problem having my custom validator in its own namespace and class, but I can't see what else to do to make this work.</p> <p>I've tried with/without the namespace at the beginning, swapping, etc - nothing.</p> <p>Hoping another pair of eyes can pick this out.</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p><strong>EDIT system.serviceModel</strong></p> <pre><code> &lt;system.serviceModel&gt; &lt;bindings&gt; &lt;!-- wsHttpBinding --&gt; &lt;wsHttpBinding&gt; &lt;binding name="wsHttpEndpointBinding"&gt; &lt;security mode="TransportWithMessageCredential"&gt; &lt;transport clientCredentialType="None" /&gt; &lt;message clientCredentialType="UserName" /&gt; &lt;/security&gt; &lt;/binding&gt; &lt;/wsHttpBinding&gt; &lt;!-- webHttpBinding --&gt; &lt;webHttpBinding&gt; &lt;binding name="wsHttps" &gt; &lt;security mode="Transport"/&gt; &lt;/binding&gt; &lt;/webHttpBinding&gt; &lt;!-- Basic binding --&gt; &lt;basicHttpBinding&gt; &lt;binding name="TransportSecurity"&gt; &lt;security mode="Transport"&gt; &lt;message clientCredentialType="UserName"/&gt; &lt;!-- transport clientCredentialType="None"/--&gt; &lt;/security&gt; &lt;/binding&gt; &lt;/basicHttpBinding&gt; &lt;!-- customBinding&gt; &lt;binding name="WebHttpBinding_IService"&gt; textMessageEncoding maxReadPoolSize="64" maxWritePoolSize="16" messageVersion="Soap12" writeEncoding="utf-8"&gt; &lt;readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384" maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" /&gt; &lt;/textMessageEncoding&gt; &lt;httpsTransport manualAddressing="false"/&gt; &lt;/binding&gt; &lt;/customBinding --&gt; &lt;!-- Another custom binding --&gt; &lt;customBinding&gt; &lt;binding name="CustomMapper"&gt; &lt;webMessageEncoding webContentTypeMapperType= "IndexingService.CustomContentTypeMapper, IndexingService" /&gt; &lt;httpTransport manualAddressing="true" /&gt; &lt;/binding&gt; &lt;/customBinding&gt; &lt;/bindings&gt; &lt;serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="false" /&gt; &lt;services&gt; &lt;service behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior" name="Service"&gt; &lt;!-- Service Endpoints --&gt; &lt;!-- since we're hosting in IIS, baseAddress is not required &lt;host&gt; &lt;baseAddresses&gt; &lt;add baseAddress="https://mysslserver.com/Service.svc"/&gt; &lt;/baseAddresses&gt; &lt;/host&gt; --&gt; &lt;endpoint address="https://mysslserver.com/Service.svc" binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="wsHttpEndpointBinding" contract="IService" name="wsHttpEndpoint"&gt; &lt;!-- Upon deployment, the following identity element should be removed or replaced to reflect the identity under which the deployed service runs.
