Wcf Basic authentication

Question

Having some trouble using basic authentication with a simple test Wcf service. I am getting an exception:

The requested service, \'http://qld-tgower/test/

Answer 1

Try for both client and server configs

Install/Enable basic authentication

You may also need to install and apply basic authentication in IIS.

Goto "Programs and Features" / "Turn windows features on/off ". Enable "basic authentication" somewhere under IIS and security.

I closed and opened the IIS console and was able to enable it under authentication settings.

This of course if for a development testing and it warns you about not having an SSL certificate.
