[vbsramesh]

Hi,

i am ramesh working on MSPS 2007.i have created a webapplication( framework 2.0) with windows authentication. i am consuming MSPS web services provided by microsoft with windows authentication. its working fine in local box. i have uploaded the same to my dev server, i am trying to access same, i am getting this error "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized."

i have googled for the root cause, i have included PreAuthenticate , defaultcredinta ls, imperosnate =true in web.config.

here i am attacing the code snippet of my code.

 loginWindows.Url = baseUrl + ProjServerUrl;
                loginWindows.PreAuthenticate = true;
                loginWindows.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
                if (loginWindows.Login()) logonSucceeded = true;

i feel, there is some configuration settings to be done. my localbox have XP OS, and my server is 2003. IIS is 6.0


i am serching this for more than 5 days, could you please anyone suggest the soultion. your help appreiciable.


Thanks in advance

For a website you will need to use forms authentication. You allow anonymous authentication through IIS and then allow access to other sections through membership.

Impersonate may be ok in a network, if the account is not an admin, but not in a website if it could work by you supplying account credentials.
