401: Unauthorized error with a web service

[kristof]

Hi,

I have a Web service with basic authentication active on IIS, to which I pass a NetworkCredential object:

NetworkCredential objCredential = new NetworkCredential("UID", "PWD");

myWebserviceObject.Credentials = objCredential;

On my local test solution, everything works fine.

Yet, on the website on the server that is to use the web service, I still get the 401 error. I don't get any compilation errors, so code-wise it looks fine to me. It finds the Web service, but simply does not seem able to authenticate it.

Any ideas? Thanks

Nevermind, it was a config error on IIS level. Had nothing to do with the code

Getting IIS configured correctly is half the battle.
