WCFTestClient The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme ‘Anonymous’

I didn’t have control over the security configuration for the service I was calling into, but got the same error. I was able to fix my client as follows.

  1. In the config, set up the security mode:<security mode="TransportCredentialOnly"> <transport clientCredentialType="Windows" proxyCredentialType="None" realm="" /> <message clientCredentialType="UserName" algorithmSuite="Default" /> </security>
  2. In the code, set the proxy class to allow impersonation (I added a reference to a service called customer):Customer_PortClient proxy = new Customer_PortClient(); proxy.ClientCredentials.Windows.AllowedImpersonationLevel = System.Security.Principal.TokenImpersonationLevel.Impersonation;
