Passing proxy server credentials through WCF service

Question

Hi,

My wcf service needs to send some files to another wcf service which present over the internet. My WCF service is hosted in a windows service on a computer in my organization's domain. All the communications to the outside world happen through a Proxy Server. I tried turning on the impersonation in the host Windows Service and then gave valid credentials to the 'Log on as' property of the service. It is working fine. But, apparently, this is not to be done.

Is there anything, that I can set the proxy server details and send the valid credentials to the proxy server before sending files through my WCF service code to another WCF service over the internet?

For Bypassing proxy servers you need to add the following property

HTML

bypassProxyOnLocal="true"

in BasicHttpBinding tag from web.config file of your wcf application.

Sample code,

HTML

<binding name="higherMessageSize_BASIC" closetimeout="00:30:00" opentimeout="00:30:00" receivetimeout="00:30:00" sendtimeout="00:30:00" bypassproxyonlocal="true" hostnamecomparisonmode="StrongWildcard" maxbufferpoolsize="524288000" maxreceivedmessagesize="65536000" messageencoding="Text" textencoding="utf-8" usedefaultwebproxy="true" allowcookies="false"></binding>
