There was no endpoint listening at...

I get this error:

There was no endpoint listening at https://xxxxxxxxxxxx/DataCacheSync.svc that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.

Inner Exception: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

From what I have read this is an issue with https. Which makes sense because this sync works fine when run on localhost which does not use https.

I am under the gun on this project and need the application to be syncing successfully by Tuesday. I have tried to use all the solutions that I found on the internet but nothing has worked. I really think it is probably something simple that I am missing in the config files.

Here is the web config for the website:

XML

<system.serviceModel>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="authenticated">
          <serviceCredentials>
            <userNameAuthentication userNamePasswordValidationMode="MembershipProvider" membershipProviderName="EcosystemsMembershipProvider" />
          </serviceCredentials>
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="false" />
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
        </behavior>
        <behavior name="default">
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="false" />
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
    <bindings>
      <basicHttpBinding>
        <binding name="secureBasicBinding">
          <security mode="Transport">
            <transport clientCredentialType="None" />
          </security>
        </binding>
      </basicHttpBinding>
      <!-- Setting maxReceivedMessageSize ensures that we do not encounter 404 errors when uploading large amounts of data -->
      <wsHttpBinding>
        <binding maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" name="secureWsBinding" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:10:00">
          <security mode="Transport">
            <transport clientCredentialType="None" />
          </security>
        </binding>
        <binding maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" name="authenticatedWsBinding" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:10:00">
          <security mode="Transport">
            <transport clientCredentialType="None" />
          </security>
        </binding>
      </wsHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <services>
      <!-- EDT services -->
      <service name="Icfi.Ecosystems.Edt.Services.Services.DataCacheSyncService" behaviorConfiguration="default">
        <endpoint binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="authenticatedWsBinding" contract="Icfi.Ecosystems.Synchronization.Services.Contracts.IDataCacheSyncContract" />
      </service>
      <service name="Icfi.Ecosystems.Edt.Services.Services.ProjectsService" behaviorConfiguration="default">
        <endpoint binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="authenticatedWsBinding" contract="Icfi.Ecosystems.Edt.Services.Contracts.IProjectsContract" />
      </service>
      <!-- Security services -->
      <service name="Icfi.Ecosystems.Security.Services.AuthenticationService" behaviorConfiguration="default">
        <endpoint binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="secureBasicBinding" contract="Icfi.Ecosystems.Security.Services.Contracts.IAuthenticationContract" />
      </service>
      <service name="Icfi.Ecosystems.Security.Synchronization.Services.SecurityCacheDownloadService" behaviorConfiguration="default">
        <endpoint binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="secureWsBinding" contract="Icfi.Ecosystems.Synchronization.Services.Contracts.IDataCacheDownloadContract" />
      </service>
      <!-- Wind services -->
      <service name="Icfi.Ecosystems.Wind.Mortality.Services.DataCacheSyncService" behaviorConfiguration="default">

      </service>
    </services>
    <serviceHostingEnvironment>

And here is the app config for the application doing the syncing:

This may be wcf transport security issue. You may have to check different security mode for WCF application in the remote(WCF container) server.

XML

<bindings>
  <basicHttpBinding>
    <binding name="SecurityByTransport">
      <security mode="Transport">
        <transport clientCredentialType="Windows" />
       </security>
     </binding>
  </basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>

Try different ClientCredentialType.Here is the list of different types of settings HttpClientCredentialType[^]

In addition check any security impersonation that you might need in order to access the service.ASP.NET Impersonation[^]
