You do not define a binding in your service s config  so you are getting the default values for wsHttpBinding  and the default value for securityMode transport for that binding is Message   Try copying your binding configuration from the client s config to your service config and assign that binding to the endpoint via the bindingConfiguration attribute    lt bindings gt     lt wsHttpBinding gt       lt binding name  ota2010AEndpoint                        gt         lt readerQuotas maxDepth  32        gt           lt reliableSession ordered  true         gt             lt security mode  Transport  gt               lt transport clientCredentialType  None  proxyCredentialType  None                         realm      gt               lt message clientCredentialType  Windows  negotiateServiceCredential  true                       establishSecurityContext  true    gt             lt  security gt       lt  binding gt     lt  wsHttpBinding gt   lt  bindings gt         Snipped parts of the config to save space in the answer     lt service name  Synxis  behaviorConfiguration  SynxisWCF  gt       lt endpoint address    name  wsHttpEndpoint                 binding  wsHttpBinding                 bindingConfiguration  ota2010AEndpoint                contract  Synxis    gt    This will then assign your defined binding  with Transport security  to the endpoint

I had the same issue  For me I noticed that the https is using another Certificate which was invalid in terms of expiration date  Not sure why it happened  I changed the Https port number and a new self signed cert  WCFtestClinet could connect to the server via HTTPS

You can solve the issue  by clearing value of address in endpoint tag in web config    lt endpoint address    name  wsHttpEndpoint                       gt
