Scripting
using LoadRunner for WCFwshttpbinding using the webservices protocol
Before starting, to understand what
is WCFwshttpbinding please refer
link http://geekswithblogs.net/claeyskurt/archive/2008/04/22/121508.aspx.
Below are the various authentication methods used in WCF
wshttpbinding
Wshttpbinding
o Client authentication type
§ None
§ Windows
§ Certificate
§ Username
(message protection)
§ Username
(transport protection)
o WSFederationHttpbinding
o Customebinding
Speak with development team to identify the
authentication method used. Safest approach is to request the config file from
the development team and browse through the <security></security>
section of the config file and identify the authentication method used. For
example if <transport
clientCredentialType="Windows" /> is present then it
uses “Integrated
Windows authentication”
|
clientCredentialType Attribute
|
|
|
Value
|
Description
|
|
None
|

|
|
Basic
|
Uses basic authentication.
|
|
Digest
|
Uses digest authentication.
|
|
Ntlm
|
Uses NTLM as a fallback with a Windows domain.
|
|
Windows
|
Uses integrated Windows authentication.
|
|
Certificate
|
Uses X.509 certificates to authenticate the client.
|
If the tag <security></security>
is not present it uses integrated windows authentication.
