WCF Authentication WITHOUT SSL

Question

Is there a way to setup authentication (ala \"Basic Authentication\") without actually setting up an SSL Certificate? I\'d also like to do this in REST or regular SOAP WCF Serv

Answer 1

Use TransportCredentialOnly security mode. This post explains how to do it:

Don't forget that you also have to enable basic authentication in IIS.
