Open Operation Timeout - WCF web service - asp.net-mvc

I've create a web service. After being up for a period of time, I eventually get the follow error: "The open operation did not complete within the allotted timeout of 00:01:00. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout."
I'm unsure why I'm getting this error since I've set the open timeout to about 2 hours. I'm new to WCF web services and web services in general. Is there any red flags with the configuration I've shown below?
.NET version: 4.0

[OperationContract]
bool ExternalUserExists(String userName, String password);

Each page gets created anew for the request and then discarded - NetTcpBinding is inherently sessionful which means it keeps resources around until the client says they no longer need them or the client goes away for, in your case, 2 hours as you have set the receiveTimeout to 2 hours.
As you don't call Close WCF thinks the session is still alive and so will throttle the requests from the new pages until old sessions start timing out. The .NET 4 default session throttle is fairly high (100 x number of cores) and you have set it yourself at 1000 so you will not see this problem until the processing ahs been running some time. In some ways the default session throttle in .NET 3.5 was better at 10 as it became very obvious very quickly if you were in the situation you are in
I wrote a blog post about sessions a while back

Share HttpContext between WCF Service and MVC 5

I had created a project with MVC 5 and WCF.I had a WCF Service with AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed and also in web.config
<serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" />
In MVC Controller i am adding value to session
public class HomeController : Controller
{
ServiceReference1.MyService2Client ur = new ServiceReference1.MyService2Client();
public ActionResult Index()
{
HttpContext.Session.Add("UserId", 1);
ViewBag.msg = ur.Test();
return View();
}
}
In WCF Service :
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode
= AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
public class MyService2 : IMyService2
{
private Test _test;
public MyService2(Test test)
{
_test = test;
}
public string Test()
{
var test = HttpContext.Current.Session["UserId"]; // Its Coming as NULL
return "Serivce Success";
}
}
Even though i am adding session variable in MVC Controller and try to access the session variable in WCF Service, the session variable is not present when request comes to WCF Service.
In MVC web.config:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IMyService2" />
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="http://localhost:30380/MyService2.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding"

There is no httpcontext in a wcf web service,
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/wcf/feature-details/wcf-services-and-aspnet
As the document mentioned, we use the OperationContext.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.servicemodel.operationcontext?redirectedfrom=MSDN&view=netframework-4.7.2
if you want to store the user data, you should enable the WCF session mode.
In that case, the wcf server has the ablilty to identity the client. It can be associated with all messages sent from specific clients to specific service instances.

Facing issue while consuming services from a class library in a API project

I have created a Class library project and add the service reference of "E-Verify" web service to this project. In this project, I have created a wrapper class and consumed all the services of "E-Verify".
I have added the reference to this project in the API project. But, while assessing this wrapper method inside an API project I am getting an error
Error:
Could not find default endpoint element that references contract 'EmployerWebServiceV29.IEmployerWebServiceV29' in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this contract could be found in the client element.
Anyone having any idea how to fix this issue?
Wrapper Code:
try {
EmployerWebServiceV29Client client = new EmployerWebServiceV29Client();
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "";
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "";
client.VerifyConnection();
} catch (Exception ex) {

WCF Webservice Connection issue

Let me start by saying that this is my first time working with WCF web services and I've been battling error for the last 3 days. These issues have been answered many times at Stackoverflow, however, I've tried most solutions and haven't been successful yet, so I need some help in figuring out the right way.
Now some background. I'm creating an ASP.Net MVC 5 project, I've to connect to WCF web services provided by Epicor (an ERP solution). My project, the ERP and its web services are all hosted on an internal IIS instance. The services are exposed using both BasicHTTP and NetTCP protocols. The application pool on which the web service and ERP are hosted uses identity.
One of the web service is called Company.svc and it is exposed as:
<wsdl:service name="CompanySvcFacade">
<wsdl:port name="BasicHttpBinding_CompanySvcContract" binding="tns:BasicHttpBinding_CompanySvcContract">
<soap:address location="http://pilotserver/ERP100700/Ice/BO/Company.svc"/>
</wsdl:port>
<wsdl:port name="CustomBinding_CompanySvcContract" binding="tns:CustomBinding_CompanySvcContract">
<soap12:address location="net.tcp://pilotserver/ERP100700/Ice/BO/Company.svc"/>
<wsa10:EndpointReference>
<wsa10:Address>net.tcp://pilotserver/ERP100700/Ice/BO/Company.svc</wsa10:Address>
<Identity xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2006/02/addressingidentity">
<Upn>pilotserver\Administrator</Upn>
</Identity>
</wsa10:EndpointReference>
</wsdl:port>
</wsdl:service>
In my project, my web.config has the following:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_CompanySvcContract" />
</basicHttpBinding>
<customBinding>
<binding name="CustomBinding_CompanySvcContract">
<security defaultAlgorithmSuite="Default" authenticationMode="UserNameOverTransport"
requireDerivedKeys="true" includeTimestamp="true" messageSecurityVersion="WSSecurity11WSTrustFebruary2005WSSecureConversationFebruary2005WSSecurityPolicy11BasicSecurityProfile10">
<localClientSettings detectReplays="false" />
<localServiceSettings detectReplays="false" />
</security>
<textMessageEncoding />
<windowsStreamSecurity />
<tcpTransport />
</binding>
</customBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="http://pilotserver/ERP100700/Ice/BO/Company.svc"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_CompanySvcContract"
contract="CompanyService.CompanySvcContract" name="BasicHttpBinding_CompanySvcContract" />
<endpoint address="net.tcp://pilotserver/ERP100700/Ice/BO/Company.svc"
binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="CustomBinding_CompanySvcContract"
contract="CompanyService.CompanySvcContract" name="CustomBinding_CompanySvcContract">
<identity>
<userPrincipalName value="pilotserver\Administrator" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
</client>
And I'm trying to consume the web service in the client using the following code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Channels;
using System.ServiceModel.Description;
using System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher;
using EpicorTestApp.CompanyService;
using NLog;
namespace EpicorTestApp.Controllers
{
public class HomeController : Controller
{
CompanySvcContractClient CompanyService = new CompanySvcContractClient("CustomBinding_CompanySvcContract");
//CompanySvcContractClient CompanyService = new CompanySvcContractClient("BasicHttpBinding_CompanySvcContract");
private Logger logger = LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger();
public ActionResult Index()
{
ViewBag.Message = "Welcome to ASP.NET MVC!";
bool morePages = false;
CompanyService.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "Administrator";
CompanyService.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "myPassword";
CompanyListTableset companyList = CompanyService.GetList("", 0, 0, out morePages);
CompanyListTable companies = companyList.CompanyList;
foreach (CompanyListRow companyListRow in companies)
{
logger.Info("Company: " + companyListRow.Company);
}
return View();
}
}
}
For the client binding, I've tried both BasicHttp and NetTCP (as CustomBinding), both resulting in some errors. When I create a BasicHttp binding, I use the following service reference configuration:
and upon running this configuration, I receive an error for "Access is denied. Exception Details: System.ServiceModel.Security.SecurityAccessDeniedException: Access is denied."
And for nettcp binding, when I try to create a service reference, I receive an error with the message "The URI prefix is not recognized. Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: net.tcp://localhost/ERP100700/Ice/BO/Company.svc'. I've tried using both localhost and pilotserver in the url.
I've tried running the application both in debug mode (ISS-Express) and publishing it to IIS, but same result. What am I doing wrong and how can I resolve this issue?
In the HomeController, it would seem that this
CompanyService.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "Administrator";
CompanyService.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "myPassword";
Should be something like this
CompanyService.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "Administrator";
CompanyService.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "myPassword
You are passing the UserName twice in the code as you present it.
The reason why I was getting all these errors was that in Web.config for Epicor's web services (inside IIS), https scheme for BasicHTTP was disabled/ comment out. I had to add the following to make my application work.
<remove scheme="https" />
<add scheme="https" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttp"/>
This is the default behavior in Epicor.

WCF fails to deserialize byte array

MySettingsViewModel class has only 3 fields. When the the application does a WCF
call it hits the WCF service, fetches data correctly. But upon receiving the object, web client (Asp.NET MVC Web application) throws the following exception.
Error at Webcontroller when receiving WCF response:
The formatter threw an exception while trying to deserialize the
message: There was an error while trying to deserialize parameter
http://tempuri.org/:MySettingsResult. The
InnerException message was 'Error in line 1 position 647. 'EndElement'
'MySettingsResult' from namespace
'http://tempuri.org/' is not expected. Expecting element
'_x003C_Concurrency_x003E_k__BackingField'.'. Please see
InnerException for more details.
[Serializable]
public class MySettingsViewModel
{
public int DefaultCurrencyID { get; set; }
public string TimezoneID { get; set; }
public byte[] Concurrency { get; set; }
}
So it seems that the deserialization of the Concurrency byte array is giving the issue here. When I remove the [Serializable] attribute, code works fine. But I need this to be serializable as I need to send this to the Redis cache.
Here is my WCF settings in the Web client,
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>

WCF settings (service side),

</services>
<protocolMapping>
<add binding="basicHttpsBinding" scheme="https" />

Sorted out the issue. Adding [DataMember] to "public byte[] Concurrency { get; set; }" made it working.

Communication between asp.net MVC application and WCF services with windows based security

I'm making an asp.net MVC application that communicates with wcf services on IIS.
The asp.net MVC application works with a normal login mechanism (username, password). In the wcf services I want to log in (with this password and username) to get the windowsidentity of the user.(the security on the wcf services are windows based)
The issue is how can I communicate from the asp.net MVC application with the services in this way and keep the asp.net MVC application as stateless as possible (putting a password in the session state is definately not allowed)
Ideas about how to get this done are very much appreciated.
This drawing might make things clearer:
Here's an article explaining step by step how to authenticate using an username/password in a WCF service:
http://blog.adnanmasood.com/2010/04/29/step-by-step-guide-for-authenticating-wcf-service-with-username-and-password-over-ssl/
It uses a custom UserNamePasswordValidator on the service side:
public class CustomValidator : UserNamePasswordValidator
{
public override void Validate(string userName, string password)
{
if (userName == "test" && password == "secret")
{
return;
}
throw new SecurityTokenException("Unknown Username or Password");
}
}
which could be configured as a service behavior:
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="WcfService.Service1Behavior" name="MySamples.WcfService">
<endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="MySamples.IWcfService" bindingConfiguration="SafeServiceConf">
<identity>
<dns value="localhost"/>
</identity>
</endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="WcfService.Service1Behavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
<serviceCredentials>
<userNameAuthentication
userNamePasswordValidationMode="Custom"
customUserNamePasswordValidatorType="MySamples.CustomValidator, WcfService"
/>
</serviceCredentials>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="SafeServiceConf" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536">
<readerQuotas maxStringContentLength="65536" maxArrayLength="65536" maxBytesPerRead="65536" />
<security mode="TransportWithMessageCredential">
<message clientCredentialType="UserName" />
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
</system.serviceModel>
and on the client:
using (var client = new WcfServiceClient())
{
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "test";
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "secret";
var result = client.SomeMethod();
}
If I have understood your question correctly,you need a way to provide windows authentication to your WCF service. Following link can help.
Link
After a lot of experimentating I've found a way to do this.
I'll refer to the ASP.NET MVC application as the client.
Through a loginService , the client can pass the username and password. In this service this data is used to check if there is a corresponding windows account. If so a guid is created and this guid along with the username and password (both encrypted) will be stored in a database. The service returns the guid to the client which puts this guid in the session state.
When another call is made to a wcf service, the client sends this guid in a messageheader called 'id' . In wcf I use a ServiceAuthorizationManager to check the incoming messages. If there is a messageheader called 'id', this id will be used to get the corresponding username and password in the database, and with this username and password get the windowsidentity and then impersonate it.(this all happens before it reaches the service itself)
When the user gets to the service, he will be impersonated with his windows account.
