.NET Framework Class Library
RemoteEndpointMessageProperty Class

Makes available the client IP address and port number associated with the remote endpoint from which a message was sent.

Namespace:  System.ServiceModel.Channels
Assembly:  System.ServiceModel (in System.ServiceModel.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public NotInheritable Class RemoteEndpointMessageProperty
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As RemoteEndpointMessageProperty
C#
public sealed class RemoteEndpointMessageProperty
Visual C++
public ref class RemoteEndpointMessageProperty sealed
JScript
public final class RemoteEndpointMessageProperty

The property is added to each incoming message to a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) service through both the HTTP and TCP transports.

The property is not present on messages received through either a named pipes or MSMQ transport.

Availability of the property when using HTTP hosted in IIS depends on having a currently active request.  Therefore, this property is not available after the request has completed, such as when performing a one-way receive.

The IP address and port number are that of the node from which the message was received. If a message goes through a relay or proxy, the IP address and port number of the respective relay or proxy is the one attached to the message by this property.

Be aware that the IP address and port could be spoofed by an attacker and thus should not be relied upon for security sensitive authentication or authorization unless additional application specific logic is added.

Not Available Using WSDualHttpBinding      csantos   |   Edit   |   Show History
It appears that the RemoteEndpointMessageProperty is not available when using the WSDualHttpBinding. The RemoteEndpointMessageProperty uses the HttpApplication.Request.UserHostAddress to return the IP; however, the HttpContext is not available with WSDualHttpBinding, causing a "Request is not available in the context" exception.
