endpoint.tv Screencast - Configuring Services with Endpoints

Aaron,

I did this screencast and am getting a weird error when I try to run this.

System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot load the X.509 certificate identity specified in the configuration.
   at System.ServiceModel.Description.ConfigLoader.LoadIdentity(IdentityElement element)
   at System.ServiceModel.Description.ConfigLoader.LoadServiceDescription(ServiceHostBase host, ServiceDescription description, ServiceElement serviceElement, Action`1 addBaseAddress)
   at System.ServiceModel.ServiceHostBase.LoadConfigurationSectionInternal(ConfigLoader configLoader, ServiceDescription description, ServiceElement serviceSection)
   at System.ServiceModel.ServiceHostBase.LoadConfigurationSectionInternal(ConfigLoader configLoader, ServiceDescription description, String configurationName)
   at System.ServiceModel.ServiceHostBase.ApplyConfiguration()
   at System.ServiceModel.ServiceHostBase.InitializeDescription(UriSchemeKeyedCollection baseAddresses)
   at System.ServiceModel.ServiceHost.InitializeDescription(Type serviceType, UriSchemeKeyedCollection baseAddresses)
   at System.ServiceModel.ServiceHost..ctor(Type serviceType, Uri[] baseAddresses)
   at Microsoft.Tools.SvcHost.ServiceHostHelper.CreateServiceHost(Type type, ServiceKind kind)
   at Microsoft.Tools.SvcHost.ServiceHostHelper.OpenService(ServiceInfo info)

Don't know what the deal is.  Any help to this noob would be greatly appreciated.

Same here. I fixed it by removing the <certificateReference> elements. (The original example from the first screencast didn't have it)

But in this screencast, Aaron has in fact these settings in the app.config, so still not sure how his example works.

I have found something similar. Seems each time I create a named pipes endpoint, I get the above <certificateRefernce> elements auto included in the app.config. Deleting seems to address the issue.

Here is a quick tutorial on how to get your certificate store working for WCF:

http://www.codeplex.com/WCFSecurity/Wiki/View.aspx?title=How%20To%20-%20Create%20and%20Install%20Temporary%20Certificates%20in%20WCF%20for%20Message%20Security%20During%20Development

It worked for me.

It's the endpoint wizard.  If you create the endpoints manually, the certificate references are not created.

I  am new to WCF... I am getting the same error in my service... Tried deleting the endpoints configured thru the wizard, didnot work.

Any Ideas how to make it work?

I got the same problem.
The Visual Studi inserts an identity element autmatically after each binding
Just comment this identity node and it will start working again.

Hi!

When i try to create named pipe endpoint, i'm getting the following error: "Invalid URI: The hostname could not be parsed.". When i'm writing net.tcp instead of net.pipe, there is no error.

Any ideas?
Thx! 

Open the app config wizard and see the WCF endpoint of the screen identify the dns locahost like this, if you put here solved, bye

Hi I am not able to play these videos when I am playing second time. plz help me

when I am trying to change the base address and add the tcpnet , piped end points my service is not working when I debug it it says error

Thanks for posting this video. It's quite instructive and informative.

 

Could you post more advanced videos about WCF ? Because even they are good, people may need advanced ones to create advanced applications.

 

Thanks.

Hi,

i am new one on WCF.

i am getting problem with this, whenever i go to app.config, then go to edit, and create another end point, on net name pipebinding

when i enter the address:

net.pipe://localhost:8888/evalservice

it says that it is invalid addresss. now what i have to write here? as it says, that this address is invalid.

the same address in my host address place. which i have wrote above. now what i have to do??

please let me know thanks.

Hi,

    I had the same problem. I got the solution from

http://blogs.msdn.com/paulwh/archive/2007/05/04/addressaccessdeniedexception-http-could-not-register-url-http-8080.aspx

 

The tool worked wonderfully. Thanks paul.

 

Hope that helps

how can i download this video

hi there is no download link for this video.

download link is missing for this video

Hi Guys,
about the "System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot load the X.509 certificate"...
just add an identity with a dns name under each of your endpoints:
<identity>
   <dns value="localhost" />
</identity>
works just fine...
 

just add <dns value="localhost" /> in identity.

Thanks Asaf, your workaround worked prefectly for me

The link to download for:
endpoint.tv Screencast - Configuring Services with Endpoints
 
Is missing.

Now I really understood about the Instance context....
Thank you Aaron
 
Thanks, Sandesh Daddi, www.sanshark.com
 

 Just make sure the first three endpoints are defined just like (below)

<
endpoint address="ws" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="EvalServiceLibrary2.IEvalService "listenUriMode="Explicit" >
<identity>
<dns value="localhost"/><certificateReference storeName="My" storeLocation="LocalMachine"x509FindType="FindBySubjectDistinguishedName" />
</identity>
</endpoint >

why so many broken videos on this site? :(

@buffcessna: To fix the "" exception, you need to add the tag into the tags. Here is my list of endpoints after fixing them up:
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
 

Apologies, my above post is completley useless because all the code was stripped out...Vipin nailed it above...adding the tag into is the fix.

 hi, icant download this file please help me . thank's

Why does the speaker use 'localhost' in his TCP and named pipe endpoints? Is this a requirement, or could they just as easily drop that part of the name (especially if the service is only running on the local computer)?

Notes:

"TCP and named pipes are really only good when you have WCF on both ends."

 

I ran into the "System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot load the X.509 certificate identity specified in the configuration." error as well.  At that point I added the <dns value="localhost"/> to any identity section that was missing it.

I then got another error.  The erro was:

"Please try changing the HTTP port to 8732 or running as Administrator.
System.ServiceModel.AddressAccessDeniedException: HTTP could not register URL http://+:8080/evalservice/. Your process does not have access rights to this namespace"

I tried changing the port.  Running as administrator fixed the issue, but I did not like that solution.  There was a link in the message that I followed.  "http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733768.aspx"

I ran the netsh program and ran this command to fix my problem.

http add urlacl url=http://+:8080/evalservice/ user=DOMAIN\username.

NOTE: to delete the urlacl, netsh, will need to be ran as administrator.

It works great, except that <CertificateRefference> that makes u doubt yourself, if you skip some steps ... Thanks for the feedback, now is to keep looking these tuts

The video is very effective. Thanks for making content this simple and convey the point
