aspNetCompatibilityEnabled and non-HTTP bindings

We are Hosting a WCF Service in IIS, using netTcpbinding, webHttpBinding and wsHttpBinding.

What is the effect on the non-HTTP bindings when I set aspNetCompatibilityEnabled to true?

We need to enalbe the ASP.NET compatiblity for a custom Basic authentication implementation within a IHttpModule.

In the documentation of MSDN ist written that non-HTTP bindings wont work:

"aspNetCompatibilityEnabled: When this attribute is set to true ... communication over non-HTTP protocols is prohibited".

But when I enable the compatibility mode in the project, the net.tcp seems to work normal.
Is is possible to have aspNetCompatibilityEnabled enabled and support net.tcp or msmq bindings?

Thanks

Solution

  • Are you sure that aspNetCompatibilityEnabled setting is actually enabled?
    Are you checking the correct web.config?

    It could be that you net.tcp service may be in a different project etc. Try to access HttpContext in your http web service to be sure that aspNetCompatibilityEnabled setting is actually working.
