How to set ClientCredentialType as UserName in .net Core?

[sturlath]

I have been trying to use WCF in a .net core 2.0 project, for 2 days without luck. I have a StackOverflow question with all my tries and problems but I´m stuck! I just can´t reproduce my old code in .net Core.

Is it even possible to use ClientCredentialType.UserName í .net Core project?
And how is it done?

If only there were more tests. This unittest is basically the only thing I found and its quite basic.

I so hope somebody here can help me.

@sturlath, what's the binding you are using? Please note message security is not supported (#8). Here are some examples of supported bindings.

Thank you so much @zhenlan. My fault not finding these tests. I tried to search for them but maybe I did´t find them because I did´t know what to search for. The barrier to entry to WCF if quite high, especially if you don´t touch it often (years apart). I tried to amend that by answering my own question on StackOverflow and point to the resources needed to solve my problem. Please feel free to add to that answer if you have some other resources we should know about.

But thank you for your help. It was much appreciated!

P.s
I thought the code in the unittests you pointed out worked but I experienced the exception here below when fully implementing it (in async)

"This OperationContextScope is being disposed out of order."

and had to implement the code like mentioned here.

I updated my answer on StackOverflow with this information. Please feel free to comment on it if I´m doing something wrong.

I am glad it worked for you, @sturlath. Thanks for sharing your answers on the stackoverflow, which may help more people out there.
