Using the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) configuration elements, you can configure WCF services and client applications.You can use the Configuration Editor tool (SvcConfigEditor.exe) to create and modify configuration files for clients and services. Because the format of the configuration file is set in XML, you must be familiar with XML if you want to edit these files manually using a text editor. Otherwise, you may encounter some problems, such as an XML element tag or attribute cannot be found. This is because XML element tags and attributes are case-sensitive.
The WCF configuration system is based on the System.Configuration namespace. Therefore, you can use all the standard features provided by the System.Configuration namespace, such as configuration locking, encryption, and merging, to improve the security of your application and its configuration.
This section describes all possible values for each configuration item and how it interacts with other WCF configuration elements. The following mapping illustrates the WCF configuration schema.
Warning |
You should use a suitable access control list (ACL) to protect the WCF configuration section in the application configuration file (app. Config) to prevent any potential security threats. For example, you should make sure that only the appropriate people can access or modify the Service Model section of the configuration file for the application binding security settings or services. |
