In the SSL Settings pane, select the Require SSL checkbox and click the Apply link in the Actions section on the right hand side of the screen. In the WCF service’s web.config configure the HTTP binding to use transport security as shown in the following XML. Specify your service and service endpoint as shown in the following XML.
And,
Streaming is possible whereas in Message level security it is not possible. If you are hosting WCF service in IIS you can use IIS infrastructure to set up SSL. If your WCF service is self-hosted you can create SSL certificate using HttpCfg.exe and use it for service binding.
Additionally, This method is called by WCF before the service host is opened. When defined, any service configuration settings specified in an app.config or web.config file will be ignored. The following code snippet illustrates how to define the Configure method and add a service endpoint, an endpoint behavior and service behaviors:
Similarly,
If a WCF service is self-hosted, HTTP or HTTPS settings are configured by using a command-line tool. At a minimum, you want to configure a URL registration and add a Firewall exception for the URL your service will be using. You can configure these settings with the Netsh.exe tool.
In this manner,
Host your WCF service in IIS . In IIS manager right click on the site which you created for hosting and click on Edit Bindings.... From the new window, you should be able to see HTTP binding configured. Now click on Add button and select https from type dropdown of Add Site Binding window.
