Hi I've coded a named pipe application, i'd like to protect my named pipe service so that no one can just write a client to connect to the named pipe and start calling methods on the server, how can i do this in WCF? I know that WCF Named pipes don't support message security but they do support transport security

The binding NetNamedPipeBinding that you are using is compatible with NTLM or Kerberos authentication. You have to enable it on the transport layer. This could be done through a configuration file. For example:

XML

<security mode="Transport">
   <transport clientCredentialType="Windows" />
</security>

Hope this helps.
