Remarks

Transports that use a stream-oriented protocol such as TCP and named pipes support stream-based transport upgrades. Specifically, Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) provides security upgrades. The configuration of this transport security is encapsulated by this class as well as by SslStreamSecurityBindingElement, which can be configured and added to a custom binding. In addition, a third party can write their own custom StreamSecurityBindingElement. These binding elements extend the StreamUpgradeBindingElement class that is called to build the client and server stream upgrade providers.

A custom binding contains a collection of binding elements arranged in a specific order: the element that represents the top of the binding stack is added first, the next element down in the binding stack is added second, and so on.

To add this class to a binding

1. Create a BindingElementCollection.

2. Create custom binding elements that are above this binding element in the binding stack, such as the optional TransactionFlowBindingElement and ReliableSessionBindingElement.

3. Add the created elements in the order described previously to the BindingElementCollection using the InsertItem method.

4. Create an instance of SslStreamSecurityBindingElement and add it to the collection.

5. Add any additional custom binding elements to the collection, such as TcpTransportBindingElement.

There are three scenarios in which you must either manually specify the correct UPN/SPN on the client endpoint after importing the WSDL, or specify a custom IdentityVerifier on the client's SslStreamSecurityBindingElement.

1. No service identity is published in WSDL. SspiNegotiatedOverTransport and HTTPS are used (for example, a WSHttpBinding with SecurityMode = TransportWithMessageCredential). If the service is not running with the machine identity, you must manually specify the correct UPN/SPN on the client endpoint after importing the WSDL.

2. DNS service identity is published in WSDL. SspiNegotiatedOverTransport and SslStreamSecurityBindingElement are used (for example, NetTcpBinding with SecurityMode = TransportWithMessageCredential) instead of a UPN/SPN. If the service is not running with the machine identity, or the DNS identity is not the machine's identity, you must manually specify the correct UPN/SPN on the client endpoint after importing the WSDL.

3. DNS identity is published in WSDL. If SslStreamSecurityBindingElement is overridden on the client, you must specify a custom IdentityVerifier on the client's SslStreamSecurityBindingElement.

The following code shows how to manually specify the correct UPN/SPN on the client endpoint, as well as how to specify a custom IdentityVerifier on the client's SslStreamSecurityBindingElement.
