i went through some previous questions, but i think am missing somewhere, As WCF is totally new for me.
web.config in WCF service application
<service behaviorConfiguration="BehaviourName" name="ProjectName.ServiceName">
<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="ProjectName.IServiceName">
<identity>
<dns value="localhost"/>
</identity>
</endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="https://aaa.bbbbbb.com/IISDeployedFolderName"/>
</baseAddresses>
</host>
</service>
....................
.....................
<behavior name="BehaviourName">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
</behavior>
............................
..........................
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="secureHttpBinding">
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" proxyCredentialType="None" realm=""/>
<message clientCredentialType="Certificate" algorithmSuite="Default" />
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
..........................
.........................
<protocolMapping>
<add binding="basicHttpBinding" scheme="https" />
</protocolMapping>

In MVC application, other application am consuming above code service.
added service reference with default settings and automatically generated endpoint address with http, if i change it to https it's breaking with error.
In WCF, we should configure an extra service endpoint for HTTPS
protocol, which requires the transport layer security mode.
<services>
<service name="WcfService1.Service1">
<!--please pay attention to that apply the binding configuration by means of bindingConfiguration property.-->
<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="WcfService1.IService1" bindingConfiguration="mybinding"></endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"></endpoint>
</service>
</services>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="mybinding">
<security mode ="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="None"></transport>
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
The below configuration supports both HTTP protocol and HTTPS protocol.
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="WcfService1.Service1">
<!--please pay attention to that apply the binding configuration by means of bindingConfiguration property.-->
<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="WcfService1.IService1" bindingConfiguration="mybinding"></endpoint>
<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="WcfService1.IService1"></endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"></endpoint>
</service>
</services>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="mybinding">
<security mode ="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="None"></transport>
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior>
<serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="true" httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
We could also use ProtocolMapping
section to simplify the configuration. The below configuration support both HTTP and HTTPS protocol.
<system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior>
<serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="true" httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
<protocolMapping>
<add binding="basicHttpBinding" scheme="http"/>
<add binding="basicHttpsBinding" scheme="https"/>
</protocolMapping>
</system.serviceModel>
