ServerName in WCF WSDL instead of domain name when hosted in IIS

If you have an IIS setup with multiple sites you will have problems with the urls that are used in the wsdl to include additional schemas. By default, the computer name is used for that instead of your specified domain.

This makes it hard for your callers to generate a proxy.

You can solve this by the following settings: (add the bold configurations to the web.config)

 <system.serviceModel>
   <serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled=”true” />
    …
    <services>
      <service name=”YourService”>
        <endpoint address=”" binding=”basicHttpBinding” contract=”YourContract”>
         <identity>
            <dns value=www.yourdomain.de />
          </identity>
        </endpoint>
      </service>
