WCF Web Service and SSL

[PGO01]

I have a wcf web service with SSL that I am testing on my local development machine. I have an SSL certificate installed on my local machine.

I keep getting this error:

The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Basic'. The authentication header received from the server was 'Negotiate,NTLM,Basic Realm'.The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

Here is the binding and service part of my service web.config file:

<binding name="BasicBindingConfiguration">
  <readerQuotas maxArrayLength="2000000" maxStringContentLength="2000000"/>
  <security mode="Transport" />
</binding>

<service 
  behaviorConfiguration="XXXService.Service1Behavior"
  name="XXXService.Service1">
  <endpoint 
    address="" 
    binding="basicHttpBinding" 
    bindingConfiguration="BasicBindingConfiguration"
    name="basicEndpoint" 
    contract="XXXService.IService1" />
  <endpoint 
    address="mex" 
    binding="mexHttpsBinding" 
    bindingConfiguration=""
    name="MexEndpoint" 
    contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>

And here is configuration section of the app.config in my test windows forms application:

<system.serviceModel>
  <bindings>
    <basicHttpBinding>
      <binding 
        name="basicEndpoint" closeTimeout="00:01:00" openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" 
        sendTimeout="00:01:00" allowCookies="false" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
        maxBufferSize="65536" maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536" messageEncoding="Text" 
        textEncoding="utf-8" transferMode="Buffered" useDefaultWebProxy="true">
        <readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384" maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
        <security mode="Transport"> 
          <transport clientCredentialType="Basic" proxyCredentialType="None" realm="" />
          <message clientCredentialType="UserName" algorithmSuite="Default" />
        </security>
      </binding>
    </basicHttpBinding>
  </bindings>
  <client>
    <endpoint 
      name="basicEndpoint"
      address="[URL unfurl="true"]https://localhost/XXXService/Service1.svc"[/URL]
      binding="basicHttpBinding" 
      bindingConfiguration="basicEndpoint"
      contract="XXXService.IService1" />
  </client>
</system.serviceModel>

Can anyone help with the error I am getting?

Many thanks,

Well I got it to work, not sure if it is correct though. I changed the security settings of the service in IIS to have Anonymous login enabled and Windows Authentication disabled.

Of-course the error message is not very helpful!

Still, funny thing is, I can't update the service in my VS solution unless I turn Windows Authentication back on.

More reading needed I think!
