How to make a call to secured web service(HTTPS) using basic http binding?

I need to import some model file into a Sharepoint central admin(HTTPS) from my local machine. What should be the configuration(using service.model)? I am using the following configuration...
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_BusinessDataCatalogSharedService" contract="BusinessDataCatalogSharedService" name="BasicHttpBinding_BusinessDataCatalogSharedService" />

And i am using the following c# code... BusinessDataCatalogSharedServiceClient client = new BusinessDataCatalogSharedServiceClient("BasicHttpBinding_BusinessDataCatalogSharedService1"); client.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "..."; client.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "....";

I am getting the following error

MessageSecurityException was unhandeled The HTTP request was forbidden with client authentication scheme 'Basic'.

I dont have enough knowledge about the authentication...Please help me out.

Thanks

Most likely the problem is that you are running the service over HTTP not HTTPS. This will not work with username/password authentication. WCF is secure by default such that it will disallow calls with this type of authentication over HTTP.

You need to configure your service with a certificate to run over HTTPS and then also make the appropriate changes to you config (as is described in the link renu has posted).
