Hi guys,
Sorry for this one but I have googled every combination of words I can think of and I keep finding SIMILAR issues but not exactly mine.
I am following this procedure here to test Web Services:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd339004.aspx
And I am at the "verifying the service availability" stage but I am having authentication issues using Visual Studio 2008. And it is weird.
1) If I connect using IEXPLORER on the Server running the middle tier and webservice.... I am asked for a password. No password works. Not my domain password, not an administrator password on the server box, not the domain user running my SPN service. Nothing.
2) The same using IEXPLORER from my own computer on the domain.
3) The same using VS2008 and adding the Web Service there. I enter the correct URL and I just get asked for a password over and over and over again. It never works and it never stops asking for the password just like in 1 and 2.
4)
WEIRDLY however if I use GOOGLE CHROME to connect to the URL, it asks me for a password here AGAIN but
here it works. The password is accepted and I am brought to the </discovery> XML that lists my services (in this case SystemService and Codeunit/letters).
So I can verify the service is KIND OF available, because chrome can get to it. But IExplorer can not and VS2008 can not, and I simply do not understand why.
Things I have tried:
1) Running VS2008 as administrator on my box.
2) Fiddling with the authentication type in the config file and then restarting the Business Web Services service in services.msc
The URL I use to get to my stuff is:
