ABSTRACT

No transport or message security has been defined.

EXPLANATION

Applications that transmit messages without transport or message security cannot guarantee the integrity or confidentiality of the messages. When a WCF security binding is set to None, both transport and message security are disabled.



The following configuration sets the security mode to None.


<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="MyBinding">
<security mode="None"/>
</binding>
</bindings>
</system.serviceModel>
