Hey ka3yc,

It’s certainly possible to use NTLM credentials with a JQuery AJAX call. Most web browsers should handle the authentication challenge automatically with the server configuration described above. You shouldn’t need to modify your AJAX request at all.

Make sure that your Windows network is using NTLM rather than Kerberos security, however. If your network uses Kerberos, only Internet Explorer will authenticate properly.

See this question on Microsoft Connect for more information:

Hello, thanks for the post.
Could you please tell me whether it is possible to do jquery ajax calls to such service “with a valid windows network identity.”? And how to pass this identity?

Thank you. Very helpful. I was looking for “clientCredentialType” for way too much time.

Hey Darren,
We haven’t tried using schema validation with webHttpBinding. It should be possible, but you’ll have to much of the work manually. The webHttpBinding is designed for returning HTML, JSON, or plain old XML (POX) services.

Thanks for the post.
I am trying to implement schema validation on my web service.
Is this possible?
I have found many articles about schema validation and wsHttpBinding, but not webHttpBinding.

Thanks,
Darren

Hello, I am trying to build REST-enabled services with WCF, you’ll want to use the webHTTP Binding. But i have to use the clientCredentialType="Certificate" . In this case the binding will be - I created the service certificate in my dev environment and associated the service with it. (I don't intend to use the client certificate.) I had to make the following changes - and the base address had to be changed to - Had to make it HTTPS from HTTP. The service starts up but the problem is i am not able to browse the URL using the browser. I was able to browse when the security was not implemented with the URI. Please help me to solve this issue. Thanks

Hey An, don’t feel bad – It happens to the best of us

I’ve made that mistake myself more than once!
