Client

 static ChannelFactory<IInternal> factory = new ChannelFactory<IInternal>(new WSHttpBinding(), new EndpointAddress("https://MyMachine:8733/IInternal")); 

When I call the factory.CreateChannel () method, I get an error

Answer 1

You must tell the client to use the secure transport channel so that it uses https instead of http. This is true because client binding settings must match service binding settings.

You can do this through the configuration in the client's app.config file, or you can do it with the code as follows:

 var ws_http_binding = new WSHttpBinding(); ws_http_binding.Security.Mode = SecurityMode.Transport; ChannelFactory<IInternal> factory = new ChannelFactory<IInternal>( ws_http_binding, new EndpointAddress("https://MyMachine:8733/IInternal")); var channel = factory.CreateChannel();
