Guys i gave up on doing that :( , my problem is not in code, i want to understand the simplest way to have a WCF hosted on IIS7, that require a Username and Password, i tried it like 100 times but everytime i have a diffrent error message, cause i get lost in all this : certificates, X509 stuff, than it says you make your own certificate but later you need to buy one ! i can't buy certificates, than i found that you can do it with BasicHttpBinding, then say no use : WsHttpBinding...than i had problem the MexHttpBinding it says it doesn't have an address https[] ! than i put two behaviors..., than it doesn't work...! than i understood that i wasn't knowing what i was doing, i was just copying code...so my problem is not in code ! i could download a ready example ! but where is the use of using a code if you don't understand how it's working so please i would like somebody to explain to me that, or just show me what to read first !!!
so here is what i need : to understand how do i secure my WCF hosted on IIS7 on Win7, with a Username and Password (from a Asp.Net Membership Provider, the provider works fine), but the simplest way to do that...really like the basics !! , then i will go to more complicated i promise, i don't want certificates, i can't buy it !
thank you guys so much, i really need your help !!!

so i put the configuration in the web.config file in the Asp.net application that is hosting the service right ?!

OK, please first there is something i want to understand , when people say you need a service, binding and behavior, does this means i need to configure the app.config file in the WCF Service project or in the web.config file of the web application where i am hosting my WCF service !?
