I want my SP 2013 cloud app (office 365) to connect to my on premises WCF services. Visual Studio gives templates to create provider hosted apps for this purpose. However, that requires Windows Azure service bus connector that helps the app connect to WCF. Since I have a static IP, I want to get this done without the connector.
I attempted this by implementing IRemoteEventService in a new WCF with wsHTTPBinding with security as none. This is running on static IP machine with all connections allowed on the port where this service is listening. I was able to call this service from my test WCF client over the internet.
Now in my app, I changed my end point to this WCF service. When app installs it tries to call this end point to deliver the app install event. However, it gives error that end point is not available or there is a soap error.
Please provide pointers on what changes are required in WCF configuration to receive calls from SharePoint. Thanks.

I have added this question on ServerFault but no one replied.
I have a .net application which calls a webservice deployed on my local windows server 2012 on IIS, and the sql server database resides on that server too. All employees connect to the same service and DB since we're all on the same domain, and I publish the app and webservice to the server through visual studio (2012).
Now I need to make employees access this application when they are outside the company's network, so I deployed the webservice on IIS on one of our remote windows 2012 servers, I created a public shared folder in my remote server and added to app webservice files to it and in visual studio I changed the publish method to web deploy and filled in the information as below:
Server: https://x.x.x.x/
Site Name: https://x.x.x.x/PublicFolder
Destication URL: https://x.x.x.x/PublicFolder/Application
When I click Validate Connection, it fails with the following message:
Could not connect to the remote computer ("x.x.x.x"). on the remote
computer make sure that Web Deploy is installed and that the required
process ("Web Management Service") is started. Learn more at:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_DESTINATION_NOT_REACHABLE.
Unable to connect to the remote server
Note that I tried to replace https with http and I got another error:
Could not connect to the remote computer ("x.x.x.x"). on the remote
computer make sure that Web Deploy is installed and that the required
process ("Web Management Service") is started. Learn more at:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_USER_NOT_ADMIN.
the remote server returned an error: (401)Unauthorized
I went to the previous link and I did what they suggested:
Create a separate user group MSDepSvcUsers on remote computer.
Create an local account A on both local & remote computer.
Add A to MSDepSvcUsers on remote computer.
Use account A to publish, this will allow you to publish without
needing to use built-in admin account.
but the same error (NOT_ADMIN) remained
UPDATE: I found another possible solution:
Add/modify windows registery key
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\”
and set it “1”.
After I added this registry key, the error changed to:
site 'http:' does not exist ... #ERROR_SITE_DOES_NOT_EXIST
So now if I put wrong credentials, I get the unauthorized error, if I use correct credentials I get side does not exist error.
What should I do?
It worked!!
I mean the connection, it's now validated, all I had to do is change site name from "http://x.x.x.x/PublicFolder" to "Default Web Site\SiteName" !!
This was really confusing, finally got it!
I am having a strange scenario while working with thirdparty asmx web service.I have develop and WCF service which utilize third party webservice.The WCF service is consume by my ASP.net WebForm application. The asp.net access the WCF service and it works fine and successful perform the job i.e. call the third party asmx web service. But after sometime my WFC service start giving following error on asmx webserivce calls
System.Net.WebException: The operation has timed out
This error keep continues until i access the asmx webservice from browser which shows to me that asmx service is running and accessible. Strangly after this browser call my WCF service keep working normal i.e. do not give timout error and perform the job on subscquent calls as well.
The WCF service is hosted on internet enable windows 2012 HyperV VM from where it access asmx web service.
Please suggest any solution . Thanks in advance
I am able to solve this . For those facing same issue I added the third party webservice IP in dns mapping in host machine entries from where WCF service is calling third party webservice
The application application I'm currently working on is required to interface with a web service using SOAP. The service providers want to restrict access to the service via a firewall using BOTH an IP address and a Port. I'm using VS 2010 and the service has been added as a .NET 2.0 Web Service.
Right now the firewall rule for my connection's port is set to 'ANY' and the service team wants to tighten it down to a specific port. I can't seem to find any way to set a specific outgoing port (port used when exiting my web server) in my service.
Is it even possible to do this?
It is possible to do this, but it's a non-trivial customization.
See Ways to Customize your ASMX Client Proxy for the general techniques. Near the bottom, you'll find "Heavy-Duty Customization".
By overriding the GetWebRequest method, you can gain access to the HttpWebRequest instance being used by the request.
HttpWebRequest has a ServicePoint property.
ServicePoint has a BindIPEndPointDelegate property.
Set this property to point to a method that will decide which IP address and port to use.
I have created an android application that calls (using kSOAP library) a SOAP based web service (developed in java, netbeans) over the intranet.
Now i want to make the application live, so this will require my web service to be exposed on the internet.
I have following questions...
How do i make sure that no one knows about the web service link except my android application
No one is able to call the web service except my android application
The data transferred between android application and web service is secure and encrypted
What kind of authentication mechanism should be used
I'm new to web services security so forgive me if my questions are dumb :)
This is impossible. Anyone having your app might use a traffic analyzer like wireshark and see all the requests it makes.
Sign each request you app makes(add some soap header) and check the signature on the server side
Use HTTPS
How to do authentication using SOAP?
I am trying to call a web service from a BizTalk (2006) orchestration.
Having got the hang of the basics, I have been following this tutorial (page 74 onwards) in which i have a web reference to an external web service (I am using this web service instead of the one in the tutorial), I have my web message in a Send component, and have set up the request / response ports for the web service call.
I'm fairly sure that eveything is set up correctly, but my orchestration fails to call the web service with the following error:
The adapter failed to transmit the message going to send port
"My_Order_Processor.Orchestration-CurrencyConvertPort-36c122f41c5596ae"
with URL "http://www.webservicex/net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx.
WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server.
SocketException: An existing connection was forcibly
closed by the remote host 209.162.186.60:80
The IP 209.162.186.60 is the address for the web service I am trying to connect to. I am trying to narrow down the reasons for the error, e.g.:
Firewall issues
Proxy server issues (I don't know how to configure BizTalk to use a proxy server)
Something else
The BizTalk server can ping the web service, I can access the internet (through IE), I can add the WebReference to the project successfully (meaning at least the orchestration designer can access the web service okay). I have also tried a different web service, with the same result.
Any ideas on finding out why this is happening or how to find out more info? (I'm new to BizTalk)
I've seen this veru vague error before for many different reasons. Two suggestions.
Download something like NetMon and watch what is going on on the wire.
Turn off chunked encoding. For some reason, many web services don't handle this well.
Let us know what you find out.
Could this not be an authentication issue? Check that you can connect to the webservice using the Bts credentials.
This turned out to be a proxy issue.
By navigating to Biz Talk Group -> Platform Settings -> Adapters -> SOAP, I was able to configure the BizTalk server host's SOAP adapter (which is what the web service call uses to make the call) to use our company proxy server correctly. Double click the 'send' SOAP adapter, go to Properties under adapter name.
