BasicHttpSecurityMode Enumeration

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Specifies the types of security that can be used with the system-provided BasicHttpBinding binding.

Namespace: System.ServiceModel
Assembly: System.ServiceModel (in System.ServiceModel.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Enumeration BasicHttpSecurityMode

public enum BasicHttpSecurityMode

Members

	Member name	Description
	None	The SOAP message is not secured during transfer. This is the default behavior.
	Transport	Security is provided using HTTPS. The service must be configured with SSL certificates. The SOAP message is protected as a whole using HTTPS. The service is authenticated by the client using the service’s SSL certificate.
	TransportWithMessageCredential	This mode provides integrity, confidentiality, and server authentication using HTTPS. The service must be configured with a certificate. Client authentication is provided by SOAP message security. This mode is applicable when the user is authenticating with a UserName or Certificate credential and there is an existing HTTPS deployment for securing message transfer.
	TransportCredentialOnly	This mode provides only HTTP-based client authentication. It does not provide message integrity or confidentiality.

Remarks

The default behavior for BasicHttpBinding is None. To specify another value, use the BasicHttpBinding(BasicHttpSecurityMode) constructor.
