How do I secure WCF with Console application?

1.00/5 (1 vote)

Hi All,

I have a Console application which accesses WCF service to perform DB task.

On the server side the console application is added into the scheduler for the purpose of automatic execution.

I have hosted my WCF service on IIS.

My query is to secure my WCF service so as to avoid any misuse.

Which level of security should I use?

Kindly help.

Not clear what that security should do. "Any misuse" is something uncertain. And, of course, "console application" (or any other type of application) it totally irrelevant.

is it on the same server?
if so why use wcf service?

if not you should implement something like folowing article

so ssl for the transport and then maybe a message authentication to see if the user / ... can do the action / actions in the service
