Syntax

<mexHttpsBinding>
   <binding 
       closeTimeout="TimeSpan" 
       name="string"

Attributes and Elements

Attributes

Attribute	Description
closeTimeout	A TimeSpan value that specifies the interval of time provided for a close operation to complete. This value should be greater than or equal to Zero. The default is 00:01:00.
name	A string that contains the configuration name of the binding. This value should be unique because it is used as an identification for the binding. Each binding has a name and namespace attribute that together uniquely identify it in the metadata of the service. In addition, this name is unique among bindings of the same type.
openTimeout	A TimeSpan value that specifies the interval of time provided for an open operation to complete. This value should be greater than or equal to Zero. The default is 00:01:00.
receiveTimeout	A TimeSpan value that specifies the interval of time provided for a receive operation to complete. This value should be greater than or equal to Zero. The default is 00:10:00.
sendTimeout	A TimeSpan value that specifies the interval of time provided for a send operation to complete. This value should be greater than or equal to Zero. The default is 00:01:00.

Child Elements

None.

Parent Elements

Element	Description
<bindings>	This element holds a collection of standard and custom bindings. Each entry is identified by its unique name. Services use bindings by linking them using the name.

Remarks

This binding is essentially a WSHttpBinding binding that supports transport-level security using certificates. For more information about configuring and using such a metadata endpoint, see How to: Configure a Custom WS-Metadata Exchange Binding, How to: Retrieve Metadata Over a Custom Binding, and the sample Custom Secure Metadata Endpoint.

mexHttpsBinding gives "The SSL settings for the service does not match those of the IIS"

Added by:eleezeeum

In web.config
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
produces

Solution:
Use
<endpoint address="mex" binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="wsHttpsClientCertificate" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
instead of
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
