Setting up API with https

Prerequisite

  • Download and install SoapUI for testing purposes

HTTPS Setup

To run http binding we first have to create a http binding configuration in the api web.config:

<bindings>
	<basicHttpBinding>
        <binding name="TransportSecurity">
			<security mode="Transport">
				<transport clientCredentialType="Windows"/>
			</security>
        </binding>
	</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>

Expose endpoint using the configuration from above:

<endpoint 
	address="referenceDocumentManagementTcp" 
	binding="basicHttpBinding" 
	bindingConfiguration="TransportSecurity"
	contract="Integration.ServiceContracts.DocumentManagement.IDocumentMangement" />

Create an endpoint for each interface you want to utilize, in the example above we're using IReferenceDataManagement.

Expose a mex endpoint:

<endpoint address="mexs" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>

Enable http and https metadata:

 <behaviors>
    <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="Default">
            <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true"/>
            <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/>
        </behavior>
    </serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>

Add https to IIS. Open IIS and first click the Default Web Site -> Bindings. If the https is not in this list click add and add the net.tcp to the binding:

Enable https application protocol:

Enable Windows Authentication:

The api is now setup for https use

Show Content View and browse PlatinaService.svc:

Download the wsdl file:

Open SoapUI, click Soap to create a new project and add the wsdl .xml-file:

To receive document meta data we are going to test 'GetWorkingDocument' (the file has been renamed):

The request does not need any extra Headers, but the Auth has to be setup as the Primary User:

Remove the 'optional' piece from the request and add the propID of your Platina document:
