C# consuming soap WS returns Security header error in VerifyIncomingMessage

I have a SoapUI project that has a request with credentials in soap header like this
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:rgw="http://ThirdPartyWebService.wsdl">
<soapenv:Header>

SoapUI project works well and i get the response of this kind:

I'm trying to consume the same soap WS in a C# project with this code (I added it as a Service Reference):
ThirdPartyWSClient client = new ThirdPartyWSClient();
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "username";
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "password";
System.Net.ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = (senderX, certificate, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => { return true; };
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol |= SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;
ThirdPartyWSInputUser inputBody = new ThirdPartyWSInputUser();
inputBody.parameter1 = "800542811";
ThirdPartyWSBasicUser ThirdPartyWSBasic_out = new ThirdPartyWSBasicUser();
ThirdPartyWSUserArray arrayOfThirdPartyWS_out = new ThirdPartyWSUserArray();
decimal pCallSeqId_out = new decimal();
GenWsErrorUser pErrorRec_out = new GenWsErrorUser();
client.thirdPartyWSMethod(inputBody, ref ThirdPartyWSBasic_out, ref arrayOfThirdPartyWS_out, ref pCallSeqId_out, ref pErrorRec_out);
with bindings:

</client>
And I receive the following error:
Security processor was unable to find a security header in the message. This might be because the message is an unsecured fault or because there is a binding mismatch between the communicating parties. This can occur if the service is configured for security and the client is not using security.

The problem is that is cannot verify the incoming message. I used fiddler and found that I get proper response from the WS! The only thing that seemed strange is that my request included a timestamp element in the header and it did not have the wsse: and soapenv: expected tags but was like this:

The web service is a public sector WS and needs authentication thus I cannot provide it. Unfortunately I cannot show the exact requests and responses as they contain sensitive personal data.
I have tried everything I found here and there but couldn't solve this. Any help would be highly appreciated! Thanks

I managed to solve this problem by using a custom binding and disabling timestamp and proxy. Thank you #jdweng for pointing to the correct direction
<customBinding>
<binding name="ThirdPartyWSPublic">

How to dynamically call a net.tcp Web Service

I am trying to call a WCF from my C# desktop app but i get an error. This is my code:
//Client Code
System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress addressSync = new System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress("net.tcp://an ip address/Sync2.svc");
Shared.FactorySync = new System.ServiceModel.ChannelFactory<LiteEdition.wsSyncFastest.ISync2Channel>("NetTcpBinding_ISync2", addressSync);
Shared.UpLoadSync = Shared.FactorySync.CreateChannel();
[QUESTION. If I dynamically create a client call to a WCF can I assume i do NOT need to include anything in th app.config file about the bindings?]
//error message on this line:
Shared.UpLoadSync.UploadMotionDynamic2(new byte[1]{0}, 0, 0);
//IS:
The socket connection was aborted. This could be caused by an error processing your message or a receive timeout being exceeded by the remote host, or an underlying network resource issue. Local socket timeout was '00:00:59.9349963'

WindowsFormsApplication2.ws.ISync2Channel channel = factory.CreateChannel();
channel.Open();
But get this error 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'
on the .Open() method.
Also, the 'WindowsFormsApplication2.ws.ISync2Channel' is defined because I had already added a reference to the Service. If I had not what would I have
used instead?

This all works when I use http binding though...
The port 780 is open on my server.
the Net.Tcp.Listener Adaptor is running
Enabled Protocols in IIS has net.tcp
Still no joy

It looks like your using the wrong constructor for your requirements.
When using the ChannelFactory(String, EndpointAddress) constructor, the first parameter stands for the name of your endpoint configuration (in your config file).
Using the ChannelFactory(Binding, EndpointAddress) constructor will fulfill your requirement of passing the configuration programmatically.
Use this constructor when you want to pass the binding and address information programmatically rather than using an application configuration file.

You can use the ChannelFactory class to call the wcf service, in this case you dont need to have endpoints and bindings in configuration file. Everything(endpoints, behaviors) you can create in the c# something like below code
var channelFactory = new ChannelFactory<IService>(new BasicHttpBinding(), "http://myurl:8080/ServiceFirst");
IService client = channelFactory.CreateChannel();

Binding error (binding mismatch?, security mismatch?) when calling a web service

Please forgive my lack of experience with WCF, but I'm having an issue with it that I am having some difficulty understanding.
Another organization at the company I work at has created a web service for me to consume. I believe I have correctly added a Service Reference to my project using the WSDL they provided. Their web service is based off of an Oracle API that I know very little of, I'm not an Oracle developer.
Here is the code I used to make use of the service reference:
BasicHttpBinding basicHttpBinding = new BasicHttpBinding();
basicHttpBinding.Security.Mode = BasicHttpSecurityMode.TransportWithMessageCredential;
basicHttpBinding.Security.Message.ClientCredentialType = BasicHttpMessageCredentialType.UserName;
EndpointAddress epa = new EndpointAddress("https://MYENDPOINT.URL");
MyServiceReference.SERVICENAME_PortTypeClient port = new MyServiceReference.SERVICENAME_PortTypeClient(basicHttpBinding, epa);
port.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = SERVICE_U;
port.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = SERVICE_P;
SOAHeader header = new SOAHeader();
header.Responsibility = SERVICE_RESPONSIBILITY;
InputParameters2 ip2 = new InputParameters2();
ip2.param1 = "abcd";
ip2.param2 = "1234"
OutputParameters2 output = port.WEB_SERVICE_FUNCTION(header, ip2);
Here the information in my Web.Config file regarding the binding information:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="SERVICENAME_Binding">
<security mode="None" />
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="https://MYENDPOINT.URL"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="SERVICENAME_Binding"
contract="MyServiceReference.SERVICENAME_PortType"
name=SERVICENAME_Port" />
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
When the call is made to the service I get the following error:
Security processor was unable to find a security header in the
message. This might be because the message is an unsecured fault or
because there is a binding mismatch between the communicating parties.
This can occur if the service is configured for security and the
client is not using security.

at MyProject.MyClass.MyFunction(String inputParam) in c:\MyProject\MyClass.asmx.cs:line 160
After looking at the stack trace, it appears that the verification of the response may be the issue which lead me to believe that it may have to do with a timestamp issue that others have had (ex. http://blog.latamhub.com/?p=78) may be the issue, but when I try to add the includeTimestamp="true" attribute to the security tag in the Web.Config file, VS2012 reports that the includeTimestamp attribute is not allowed. Not quite certain what is going on here or what else to check. Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
EDIT (2013-05-30):
Tried the following custom binding with the includeTimestamp set to true and false with no success:
<customBinding>
<binding name="SERVICENAME_Binding">
<security
includeTimestamp="true"
/>
</binding>
</customBinding>

WCF: The service certificate is not provided. Specify a service certificate in ServiceCredentials

I'm trying to create a WCF service that uses the MembershipProvider for authentication. Because it is an internal service I'm currently not interested in applying transport level security (HTTPS) and I want to (for now) do this without a certificate. Besides, this will complicate rolling out the service and I wish to do this at a later point in time. I've built a basic configuration (even without configuring the MembershipProvider, but WCF keeps throwing me the following exception:

in ServiceCredentials.

What is wrong with my configuration and how can I solve this?

You need to sign the service with a certificate. You can do this by adding the following to the configuration:
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="false" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
*<serviceCredentials>
<serviceCertificate findValue="certificatename" storeLocation="LocalMachine" storeName="My" x509FindType="FindBySubjectName" />
</serviceCredentials>*
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
Where certificatename is the name of your certificate. To create a certificate you can look here:
Create a self signed certificate

Setting <security mode="None"> and commenting the serviceCertificate tag inside <serviceCredentials> in my Web.config solved the problem for me.
I was having this problem in localhost, so I didn't need these security settings.
