    I have a VS2013 Windows desktop app using target framework .NET Framework 4.5 which uses WCF to communicate with a Java server

    It uses custom binding to do this and it also works using a static WebProxy provided that the Proxy Server is defined in IE11's Proxy Server LAN settings.

    If a user and password are required to connect via the static proxy then my code currently works doing something like

    Dim proxyCredentials As System.Net.NetworkCredential = Nothing
    proxyCredentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential(AuthenticatedProxyUser, AuthenticatedProxyPassword)
    WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy.Credentials = proxyCredentials

    A Customer has asked me to make it work without having to define the proxy server address and port in LAN Settings but so far I have been unable to do this. Is it possible?

    In theory I should just be able to do something like

                    Dim proxy As WebProxy = New WebProxy(AuthenticatedProxyAddress)
                    proxy.Credentials = proxyCredentials
                    WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy = proxy

    But the response I get is

    System.ServiceModel.Security.MessageSecurityException: 
    The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous'. 
    The authentication header received from the server was ''. 
    ---> System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

    You should post to the MSDN WCF  forum  for help.

    Hello,

    There is a good post here on this topic

    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1044034/wcftestclient-the-http-request-is-unauthorized-with-client-authentication-scheme

    Then look at

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.servicemodel.security.windowsclientcredential.allowedimpersonationlevel?view=netframework-4.8

    Hi Karen,

    I agree those posts look promising (I've in fact seen them already).

    I've tried changing

    proxy.ClientCredentials.Windows.AllowedImpersonationLevel =   
              System.Security.Principal.TokenImpersonationLevel.Impersonation

    but it didn't fix it.

    I'm using custom binding with

            Dim binding As New CustomBinding
            Dim securityElement As SecurityBindingElement
            securityElement = New TransportSecurityBindingElement
            securityElement.MessageSecurityVersion = MessageSecurityVersion.WSSecurity11WSTrust13WSSecureConversation13WSSecurityPolicy12
            securityElement.EnableUnsecuredResponse = True
            securityElement.IncludeTimestamp = True
            binding.Elements.Add(securityElement)

            Dim customHttps As New ThCustomHttpsTransportBindingElement(ThWebServices.AuthenticatedProxyAddress)
            binding.Elements.Add(customHttps)

    ThCustomHttpsTransportBindingElement inherits HttpsTransportBindingElement and lets me set MaxReceivedMessageSize

    How do I do this

    <security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">
      <transport clientCredentialType="Windows" proxyCredentialType="None" realm="" />
      <message clientCredentialType="UserName" algorithmSuite="Default" />
    </security>

    in code?

    Jim
