New Post: Custom WCF Extensions

Good morning all,

I've got the need for custom WCF extension (to handle Salesforce OAUTH tokens in the REST communication...) and am wondering what you guys feel is the best way to handle the registration of the custom WCF behavior.

The way I see things, I've got 2 options for getting the behavior into WCF:
1) Add to both machine.config files in the .NET framework. (32 and 64 bit files.)
2) Use the "Import WCF Configuration" tool within the BizTalk admin interface for the WCF-WebHTTP Send Adapter.

I'm somewhat leaning toward #2 because of the simple nature of things. But, I'm not too opposed to either.

In any event, both options lead me to my question of this group: How can I automate this with BTDF?
For option #1, I found this solution from Paul Baars: https://phvbaars.wordpress.com/2015/05/01/deployment-framework-and-machine-config/

Is there a way to get option #2 to work within BTDF? Also, do you guys think this should be a manual thing instead of built into the BTDF deployable MSI? I really like keeping everything within one deployment step to minimize production deployment complexity... and possible deployment problems.

Thanks so much for your responses on this! ​​
